    We do need a striker

    As aldz said better teams then us have utilised youth players for squad depth

    A complete mockery of FFP....

    Money talks! Shame we can't compete. ;ok

    Mail on sunday linking Reid with Everton.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    The 9M quoted was nearly as bad as 3M for Adrian! Liverpool quote 30M for Sakho for example... Reid is worth a very decent wedge in todays market

    There arent many teams Reid wouldnt get into (not the squad, but the actual first 11) comfortably...

    Off the top of my head, Spurs are one of the few exceptions

    We sell Reid we undo most the good work in this window.

    Although the author doesn't know what he's on about. Says 'West Ham may be prepared to listen to offers as they look to recoup money from the spending'.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    That's exactly what I thought too

    If they didn't want to spend it, they wouldn't have. And he seems so certain the Ronnie K wants Reid.

    Junk jouro IMO

    We won't be selling anybody we don't want to unless they pull a full Payet.

    There's a reason they call this 'the silly season'.

    It's not a 'story' - it's just vague wondering. When I see words like 'considering', 'weighing up' and 'pondering' in a transfer rumour, I check to make sure I've got enough salt.

    Might as well have written:

    West Ham are pondering a £10m move for Coutinho.

    How would the conversation go?

    - Hi David, we'd like to offer you considerably less than market value for a player you rate, and have on a long term contract.

    - What? I'm sorry? Is that even physically possible? OK, OK but can I speak to Reid anyway?

    - Hi Winston, look, I know you are at a club where you are considered an important player, but I'd like to pay peanuts for you, and keep you on the bench unless one of my proper players gets injured. How does that sound to you? What? You as well? That's what Diddy D said. What? You'll show me how it can be done if you ever see my stupid face? I take it that's a no, then.

    I heard from a reliable sauce that we’re in for Nathan Ake’s brother. Teri Ake’s agent claims we’re getting him on the HP ;run

    Fear not, a mod can get it back.

    Although, I'm not sure your terrible pun deserves it.

    If Winston Reid chose not to leave for Arsenal when his contract was nearly up meaning a nice signing on fee, champions league football for a genuine top four at the time team I cannot see him being interested in Everton at this time. Koeman looks a good manager and will likely move himself in the not to distant. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Arsenal actually.

    I'd be very surprised.


    (edit - Oh, wait - you mean Koeman, not Reid? My bad.)

    Neymar's father asked PSG to delay formal negotiations with Barcelona over a £450m deal for his son until after 31 July - that is the day when he earns a £23.3m commission for his part in persuading the forward to sign a new contract with the Nou Camp club last October.

    Nice to see all is fair in Football! ;nonono
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Well you would be a bit miffed to see £23.3m disappear a day or two before it was due. ;weep
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Neymar's (and his father) are still under investigation for corruption. (The cases about tax evasion and fraud have gone away. Barcelona admitted it paid 100m and not 57m Euros for him, as they had originally claimed, and they 'settled' the tax fraud case by paying a fine.)

    Boudebouz (another algerian) tipped to replace feghouli.

    Galatasaray have confirmed that Feghouli has joined them.

    So that leaves three signings from last summer still standing.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Yeah, pretty damning indictment of last summers window.

    But at least it gives us a chance to put it right.

    Assuming we are now operating a one out, one in policy, I assume we'll be targeting a winger soon.

    I dont think the crowd will 'swallow' the speculation or consequently 'worship' Buddha booze (any room on that walk Herb? ;yercoat )

    had a feeling that'd be the case ;biggrin

    Some very positive talk about Boudebouz here: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/07/26/landing-riyad-boudebouz-would-push-west-ham-close-to-winning-the/

    In particular, "No player in Europe’s top-five leagues made more key passes than the 117 Boudebouz managed last term according to Who Scored." Hence their suggestion that he would be a proper replacement for the French player.

    Interestingly suggests he would do well behind the striker, although I gather he mainly plays on the right wing. So could be someone that could replace Lanzini when he's injured/off the boil, as well as playing on the right of the three behind the striker with Lanzini in the middle and Arnie on the left, when we need flair - with Antonio, when fit, when we need strength and pace.

    Let's hope he's not put off by the Boo-boys.

    Oh dear. Well you'd already taken the better ones.

    Room for another on the naughty step? ;yercoat
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    He seems an exciting talent and the "type" of player that Lanzini is which will be very useful as no one I'm the squad atm can do what Lanzini does

    Sad to see Feghouli go but he was on big wages which the club thought would be better spent elsewhere

    And wth all due respect if Feghouli was THAT good better teams than galatasaray would be in for him
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Boo boys? So you're saying we will 'Al ger' him of he comes ;run
