    There always are, PLF - they need 'two teams' on the pre-season training camps.

    Gives the manager a good look at them (intensive training, friendly and competitive games). We'll soon see who he doesn't rate (by who is sold/loaned out/kept around the 1st team). ;ok

    No Payet for me. In my view he has a big flaw in his character which means he is untrustworthy, and so even though I think he is the most technically gifted player we have ever had in a West Ham shirt I think his opportunity has gone.

    A good transfer day...

    That's a lovely find Vorse and that was a GOOD transfer day! ;ok

    I like the sub-heading on that article - "Hammers get their man at last" (my emphasis) - plus ca change!

    I cant agree he's our 'most technically gifted player we have ever had'.

    I'd say he's the most gifted since Di Canio
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I think Di Canio was his most close rival but for me Dimi was just so quick footed he almost looked like his reflexes were functioning at a different speed to most others on the pitch, whilst his dead ball strikes were as good as anyone I have seen for any team. I think Di Canio had a touch of genius and Sir Trev was gifted and composed but with the ball at the feet I think Dimi was most talented.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Joe Cole had just as much skill as Payet! Id say Alan Devonshire too.

    Sir Trev is the best midfielder we've ever had. His vision, skill with either foot created countless chances for us. IMO of course
  • alderzalderz
    I would say that Joe Cole has just as much talent but had less decisive contribution for us than Payet. We’re almost certainly not going to be resigning him anyway

    Lee Clayton (West Ham fan & head of sport of the Mail) reporting this morning Anderson deal is close after we improved our offer to 40m. ;hmm

    Seems weird after we've agreed fee and terms for Yarmo and apparently for Jacko too ;hmm Laying out 40M just doesnt seem feasible unless we've back out of one or both ;hmm (again)
  • LukerzLukerz

    Well I do think we need both Yar and Anderson (or alternatives). We have lost Mario and Lanzini. I think the extra money has come as a result of not spending massively last season. We’ve sold a lot of players since then.
  • alderzalderz
    Wouldn’t surprise me if the Yarmalenko bid scared Lazio into accepting our Anderson offer

    Fabianski £7m
    Diop £22m
    Fredericks free
    Wilshere free
    Anderson £40m
    Yarmolenko £17m

    £86m spend ;hmm

    Fabianski
    Fredericks - Diop - Reid - Cresswell
    Obiang - Noble - Wilshere
    Anderson - Yarmolenko
    Arnautovic

    Adrian, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Kouyate, Antonio, Carroll, Hernandez

    ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I think Anderson is Pellegrinis number one pick so it's important we get him to show that the Board are backing him.

    OK, I've now heard it's back on again. Not easy being an ITK I'll let you know. ;lol
  • AdamAdam
    £40m is crazy for someone who hasn’t even set Serie A alight.

    Not long now. Wilshere doing his pre-unveiling stuff...
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Burke is going to Hull. Medical today.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Good luck to him ;scarf
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Heard a fee of about £1.5mil...... seems a tad short for me, but i dont think that hes good enough for the premier league and wont get to hat level unless he gets regular playing time

    Hope we have a good sell on fee for any future moves as i do think he could become a decent player

    Good luck to the lad

    Wilshere announced on sky

    Would much rather get Anderson than the Ukraine fella. After that, go all guns blazing for Payet.

    I reckon there will be a couple going out the door, Antonio has to be a favourite.... I’d be very surprised if we're spending 86m net
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Antonio to Palace / Townsend to Newcastle I reckon
