The Transfer Window 2: Electric Boogaloo

Cuz1

Daily mail saying we are after moussa marega Mali international at Porto he’s valued at 22m and looking at kueyete being part of the deal, can’t say I’ve heard of him to be honest though

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Daily mail is awful imo
That, the sun and the mirror arent worth paying attention to 99% of the time

Also it would be odd to spend £22m on a striker when he is probably 3rd choice (unless Hernandez moves)

Cuz1

I actually agree champo on both counts and me personally would prefer a more prolific scorer for that money

Pearces_Left_Foot

Nathan Holland is rumoured to have been impressed and not being sent out on loan so he might be included in first team squad

thornburyiron

Isn't 22 in 29 games prolific.

Pearces

For the purpose of the 25 player squad list, players under 21 don't need to be named, but can still play in the first team.

We must have someone lined up if we’re selling him.

I think this would be one of those deal where the balance tips between filling spaces we really need and causing upheaval with too many changes. Hope whoever is (surely) coming in, is significantly better and can settle.

Also from sky

claretandbluesky

It may be worth a shot keeping him as we have seen his ability at times. It is interesting the difference player management can make to players. Although there was indeed a change of position as well Arnie looked a different player under Moyes as opposed Billic, Whilst Payet seemed reach new heights under Slav when first arriving. Lets hope Pelle can bring a few to a new level.

IronHerb

That SKY report just doesn't make sense. We are going to go through all the transfer process then ask him if he wants to go even though we don't want to sell him. ;puzzled

Cuz1

iH we are West Ham

IronHerb

Yeah, perhaps we'll loan him out. ;doh

Cuz1

And pay his wages cus we don’t want him to go

grey_til_I_dye

I'm thinking this is how it played out:

PEDRO: You wanted to see me, boss?

PELLE: Yes, look I need you to do me a favour. Mr Sullivan is very sad as he hasn't been able to play in the transfer market this season, so I told him to see about a deal for you with Sampdoria.

PEDRO: What? But you said I was an important part of your plans, and now you want me out?

PELLE: No, no, not at all. I have already told Mr Sullivan it will be your decision.

PEDRO: I still don't get it.

PELLE: Look, Mr Sullivan gets to spend time negotiating with Sampdoria, and that makes him happy. If they can't make a deal, no problem. If they do make a deal, you just say you'd rather stay here, and I say how delighted that makes me.

PEDRO: OK, boss, if that's what you want.

PELLE:Thanks, Pedro, and you wait, it will be worth it when you see his smiley happy face

Probably get him for about forty quid and a trade in of Sullys old ford Consul.

C&H and football london saying we rejected a opening £11mil bid for Kouyate saying we want £15mil but are in no rush to sell

As usual, dunno if the source is any way reliable but I think that would be an good bit of business even if it is to a premier league rival

OldCastleSwift

£15m is a good price for a player that has been in decline for the last two seasons. I don't think he threatens the first XI this coming season with Rice, Wilshere, Obiang and Noble already ahead of him in the pecking order (IMO at least), so if we can get £15m for him, and another £10m for Oxford, and reinvest in a replacement midfielder then I'm all for it.

Husillos does say "for the moment" but it seems clearer than ever Pellegrini feels Hernandez is very much part of his plans

Article states we are looking to give Obiang a new deal to fend off Sampdoria interest ;hmm

IronHerb

Don't think we were going to sell both Obiang and Kouyate. As we have already turned down an offer from Palace I think Kouyate is the one going.

Fortuneseeker

We are trying to use Kouyate as part of the deal to obtain Marega from Porto according to reports.

Lukerz

Fulham close to signing both Mawson and Mitrovic. Although I didn’t realise Mawson was injured and will miss the start of the season. Not bad business for them added to Schurle & Seri.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Well mitrovic was with them last year,so they are just making it permanent

But true with mawson its a big statement of intent from them...again

jay_in_cpt

Ok so who had heard of Seri b4 the last 2 months?...

grey_til_I_dye

Who's Seri, now?

PrestonHammer

Isn't Seri the talking woman on a make of phone?

Preston

Now you're just being Seri...
