    Carrol’s Gradually improving and Silva would learn a lot given some games - set us up for next season.

    Then use the proceeds in the summer.

    I agree that January isn't the best time to buy, but 'making do' could mean we miss out on a European spot, or possibly a cup final.

    It feels like we've finally got a bit of momentum, so to lose Arnie and not replace him could put the brakes on somewhat.

    I guess a lot depends on whether Pelle believes Perez and/or Hernandez can step up until the summer.

    Didn't I read that Batshuayi has been a flop at Valencia and they want to terminate his loan?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Bats had his chance and chased the money. Tough!
  • AdamAdam
    I’m not sure how much of a chance he’s been given. He’s only started 4 games this season, scoring one goal.

    Valencia have scored 17 goals in 19 games, so as a team they’re not exactly prolific.

    He was very good at Dortmund. So, on loan, it’s a good opportunity.

    23 appearances in total (although I can't find how many minutes were involved).

    The manager is pretty scathing.

    tbh, I didn't really rate him at Chelsea and don't want him now.

    What about the Brazilian striker who is on loan at santos babigol or whatever his name. I would do a loan spend in the summer
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Gabigol?

    We couldn't get a work permit, apparently, and he’s now signed (or is signing) for Flamengo

    1042 minutes, 10 starts but only managed a full 90 minutes 4 times.

    Monaco are interested (Thierry Henry has spoken highly of Bats) and he's also been linked with Everton.

    Some Twitter talk that Obiang is off to Fiorentina for €10m and we're lining up Medel or Shelvey as a replacement

    Let's get Drinkwater from Chelsea.

    I've hived off the Arnie comments to this thread:

    http://www.whu606.com/discussion/10783/the-arnie-situation-one-thread-to-rule-them-all#latest

    Can we keep them to that one now?

    10m for Obiang, if Medel is the replacement, seems strange 5 years older and doesn't seem that much better.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Why? Is any replacement for Obiang going to be happy to not be a regular starter unless they are going to be an upgrade?

    If the Shelvey rumour gains any momentum I will leave it to our special correspondent to deal with it. I am sure she is just getting ready to vent her spleen. ;biggrin

    If we want to push on as a club, next season I think we need a very good central midfielder (like a Pogba type) who can dominate the midfield (who will eventually take Noble’s starting place).

    I hope that if we do bring in Medel or Shelvey (please no!), then we still look to bring in a ‘top’ central midfielder.

    Did someone mention Bats? ;weep

    Obiang close to joining Fiorentina for £10m, according to Sky Sports.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Would need a replacement obviously, only have 2 natural central midfielders available excluding Wilsheres who cannot be relied upon

    I like Obiang, he doesn't do anything particularly special but he's a solid player who is normally reliable and £10mil in this market doesn't really get you much
  • stevesteve
    ;hmm See the shelvey rumours have started again .please ;nonono ;nonono ;nonono
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We are not helped by pundits such as Redknapp saying Guardiola should be looking at signing Declan.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    West Ham and Southampton are preparing to table bids Southend’s teenage sensation Charlie Kelman, Football Insider understands.

    As Suze said earlier, any club who didn't have people considering Rice should sack them immediately.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    If you believe Pep listens to Redknapp, senior or junior, then i think you are mistaken.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Very sceptical of this site but....

    I have a photo of me in a West Ham shirt. If I post it will I be considered as a transfer target too? ;biggrin

    (I will only accept polite responses ;lol )

    We've been linked with Bristol Rover's 21yo LB Michael Kelly and Southend's 17yo striker Charlie Kelman.

    Kelman made his debut in November, 5 minutes against Southampton's U23s in the EFL Trophy. He made his second appearance against Plymouth on Saturday, came on in the 71st minute against Plymouth and scored in injury time.

    Hernandez has agreed terms with Valencia.

    All our strikers are AWOL lol.
