    The stalling tactic in full motion now that the window is open.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    One window is open.

    The other window is shut.

    Is this earlier than normal?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Yes - because it is closing (for us) before the PL season starts.

    I think so, although it is a moveable feast.

    The PL handbook actually allows for the window to be opened any time after the last day of the season.

    I think that there is a FIFA/UEFA rule that all summer windows have to be open for a minimum period (12 weeks?) so with the early closing, they would need to fit in with that.

    So, 3 and a half weeks once the World Cup is over to do most of the business. Easy!
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So you're expecting World Cup superstars to be signed by us?
  • AdamAdam
    Yes. I’ve heard Panama have some fantastic players...

    Hats off to them ;thumbsup

    But my serious answer is quite possibly. There’s a small chance Dendoncker will go to the World Cup (we’ll know on Monday). And we’re not talking about superstars from Spain and France. Remember we bought Reid after the World Cup? It’s not as if we don’t have lots of internationals ourselves.

    MrsGrey, you deserve a ;fishslap

    Note: this sentence actually reads you deserve a fishslap ;lol I never knew that was the name behind that emoji! I assumed it would be homerun or something like that.

    Adam, wanna bet that if they win a game some paper will have it on their front page?

    Then I can sue for plagiarism ;biggrin
  • mikemike
    Could Claudio Ranieri be another name in the hat after being sacked by nantes ;hmm

  • IronHerbIronHerb

    I think he would relegate us

    Mind you, I said exactly the same thing as he was about to join Leicester ;whistle

    Adam you’re mentioning player(s) that the new manager may have no interest in.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Correction.
    Mancini has taken the Italian job.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Oh, so it's the manager who buys the players ;run

    At West Ham, the manager chooses the players who end up doing well. Sully chooses the players who end up tanking. I thought everybody knew that??...

    Well, obviously. But it doesn’t change my opinion that there’s a good chance that whoever our manager is, will want players who happen to be playing at the World Cup.

    Rafa Benitez: "I have a lot of respect for West Ham because when I was in contact with them, they were really good and professional."

    Our West Ham ;hmm

    Most players in the world cup will be knocked out way before the end.
  • AdamAdam
    And then they go on holiday. I’m not sure why I’ve been discussing this all day lol. The World Cup will make it more difficult to do business. Fin.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    I doubt it will. There aren’t that many players at the World Cup that are good/bad enough to play for West Ham and we can afford them and they want to come to us.

    Most of the players in the world aren’t going.
