    Yarmolenko has 143 goals in 367 games I would prefer him upfront to Hughil but obviously I would prefer a proper striker in that position. I think we will be flogging a few in the next few weeks can see Hughill /Snodgrass/Antonio/Quina/Oxford all be sold to fund maybe another signing or two
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I’d offer a payment to release AC as I’ve stated I like him but we aren’t going to offer another deal, three months takes us to November/December so not get much game time out of him, not that we ever have. So it’s not cover we need it’s a replacement and hugill imo won’t be given the opportunity given that at he hasn’t thus far in his West Ham career
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    I don't think the board are going to have enough money to get a replacement in after Anderson (potentially Balbuena and maybe Stuaro) come in.
  • LukerzLukerz
    With a front four potentially of Yarmie, Marko, Chicharito & Anderson, there's got to be a way we incorporate that into a version of YMCA...

    Out of interest, has anyone watched this Anderson guy play before? Anybody follow Serie A? I ask as I see loads of comments on forums & social media about what a class signing he'll be, but before this window I'd never heard of him or seen him & I watch a lot of football lol. Wonder how many of the comments are from people who know anything about him.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Was thinking the same. I've never heard of him.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    To be honest lukerz I’ve heard of him but never seen him actually play but I can’t recall making a comment as such, friends of mine who are scousers say they have seen him and say he looks class
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Here you go Lukerz Ade

    It was the same with Carvalho and Dendoncker. I don’t follow the Portuguese league and certainly don’t follow the Belgian league. At least Carvalho plays regularly for Portugal (but I rarely watch them play anyway).

    I trust Pellegrini knows what he is doing. Anderson looks good from the clips above has good feet quick can beat his man and some decent finishes in there aswell I look forward to seeing our front 3 with Arnie and Yarmolenko I think we could cause teams a lot of problems and be a lot better counter attacking
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    And from the clips he looks unselfish too and uses both feet

    Apparently being unveiled as a double signing Monday.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Where you hear that, Yeold?
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    On the Grapevine?
  • AdamAdam
    So, I’ve seen anywhere from £30m to £50m being quoted as the price for Anderson.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    The hear £35/40mil

    Assume some of it are probably add ons

    Bernard story again he is on a free :neutral:

    Would be crazy if he arrived. If we go with MP's suggested preferred formation of 4-2-2-2, how about (with only 1 more addition):

    -------------------Fabianski-----------------

    Fredericks------Diop------Ogbonna-----Cresswell

    ----------Sturaro------------Wilshere---------

    -----Anderson------------------Bernard-------

    -----------Yarmie-------Arnie-----------------

    Would only feature 2 of last season's squad in the starting line up, and, in all honesty, Cresswell has struggled in a back 4 recently, but that team, or even a front 4 of Arnie in front of Yarmie - Anderson - Bernard (in a 4-2-3-1), would be of a quality we're not used to.

    Pie in the sky I know, especially given that Anderson isn't even over the line yet, but no harm in dreaming.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Bernard would be an incredible pick up on a free. Quality player, vastly underrated imo. Surprised one of the big clubs haven't snatched him up.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Arnie

    Bernard Anderson Yarmalenko

    (tasty)
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Frightening pace. Both Bernard and Anderson are supposed to be amongst the quickest around
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    So what are the odds on us winning the league... ;whistle
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    We will be in the relegation zone after the first round of games ;whistle
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    With Chelsea and Arsenal in disarray we're on for top 6.

    Balbuena to be announced soon, according to the Twittersphere
  • LukerzLukerz
    They are printing Balbuena shirts in the club store apparently. Pictured on Twitter.
