Personally I'd like to see Nobes playing a few games without a double hernia before I write him off. Anybody who thinks it would not have made a difference to his performances last year is not to be taken seriously IMO.
Think noble will still be a good squad player and his injury obviously affected him last year but I think he will struggle to get into the team ( if we sign carvallho) and I don't want to see him being in a Kevin Nolan type situation where he is playing based on past reputation. He has been an outstanding servant to the club but I think he is now in decline and lacks the pace and tackling ability to be a top defensive midfielder and not creative enough for a centre midfielder imo
Count your blessings a club earlier this Summer had a Centre Half joining them before they had even made an offer for him. You wouldn't be party to anything like that would you? ;wink
It's great My boss always says Well done you have work had few take days off But boss , am doing my bit for the ebitda,, " "google ebitda" I am a company man ;lol
So what we have, and I'm sure it starts far, far further back still but:
Barcelona/Fans moan how PSG act to make their player move, as Liverpool/Fans moan how Barcelona act to make their player move, as Southampton/Fans moan how Liverpool act to make their player move. etc.
It's almost as if they all think it's Okay to use your 'bigger club' muscle to teams lower than you, but when a club higher/has more financial muscle than you does it to them...
I live with a Charlton fan, every time I moan about something West Ham related it sets him off...
Foreign correspondent types tend to like rugby and tennis so the only one I really talk football with is a Brentford fan. He was fuming about Hogan and sent me a colourful text when we apparently bid £3m for Jota (they want £8m!)
Very few transfers are paid up in full at the time of the deal. They are usually paid over the length of the first contract so say £40m for a 5 year deal would be paid at £8m a year for 5 years.
Diario de Noticias apparently reporting that although Carvalho had reached a verbal agreement to join West Ham he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he made the promise.
I'll post a link to the story when I find it although it will probably all be in Portuguese.

Bilic on Lanzini "No player is bigger than the club. He knows his contract situation & we will do everything possible to sort him out."
What's going on with Lanzini?
;quaver Everybody loves Lanzini
Cos he plays the West Ham way ;quaver
Just tell your club you refuse to play for them any more
It worked a treat for me

"I hope we don't sell him as Barcelona think they can get anyone even if he just signed a contract"
I didn't point out th irony of that comment...
