Transfer rumours and speculation to take us through to summer.

PrestonHammer

Yes, in the Champions League.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

I mean we've done everything we could, havent we

We had a fee accepted

Just the player who is Spanish speaking, who loves in Spain, has decided to join another Spanish club who are a bigger club then us (they have yoyo'd a bit but they were always among spanish second tier behind the big 2/3) who are in the champions league

Absolutely bang on the head. There's more to transfers than the money.

We're in the running for Isaac Hayden because he wants to move south for family reasons, Scott Parker didn't want to leave London because of his kids, Payet turned down an offer from PSG because his missus has upped and taken the kids back to Marseilles, etc.

Football players are human.

Payet Human yes probably think that when he’s playing in China for a humongous salary

Pearces_Left_Foot

He hasn’t joined anyone yet ? Who thought we would get Anderson or Fornals I think playing in London Pellegrini and the premier league are big pulls plus loads of cash aswell

Pearces_Left_Foot

Reports in Spain saying negotiations between Valencia and Celta Vigo have broken down :hmm:

Expat_Hammer

Maybe the tide has turned, the mighty Hammers are on the ascendant

:coyi:

BubblesNeverDies

Up, up and away - ooh, I feel a song coming on :biggrin:

OldCastleSwift

Been in a meeting for two hours. Have we signed Gomez yet?

baracks_a_hammer

I don’t think so. I’ve been refreshing quite a bit and as a result my phone is on 68%. I’m not sure it will last the day

Pearces_Left_Foot

London Evening Standard say we are upping our offer

ASLEFshrugged

Julien Maynard of French TV channel TF1 says Diop is up for a move to Man U.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca Celta Vigo prefer a part-ex deal with Valencia, CF Santi Mina plus cash for Gomez.

That's cool then, I mean Man U are a way off Champions league football...

McHammer

Why don't we give chicarito to Valencia. Then they can let us have Maxi 😂

baracks_a_hammer

The gut feel (mine) seems to be that he actually doesn’t want to join us. Fair enough if so, but we should then close it off quickly and move on. We don’t want Bacca mark 2 because all it will mean is that we will end up with a Calleri equivalent come 8th August.

Pearces_Left_Foot

Im sure Hussilos and Pelle have a cunning plan B C D and E lined up rather than just asking their son who looks good on Football Manager/FIFA

Wouldn’t call Arnie a Calleri equivalent personally

So Sky say Diop is content at West Ham but wants to play in the Champions League in the future.

Reports in France say his camp want the move & may force him to hand in a transfer request.

:hmm:

I mean Manchester United offering £50m for him? I like Diop & he has potential but not £50m based on last season. United just appear desperate at the moment.

I interpreted barack's comment to be referring to a new signing.

Sometimes potential is worth taking a chance and me personally believe diop will become a top player

Bazshuayi

Bearing in mind his age and that it was hi first season in the Prem, I'd say he will be better next season and has the potential to be a massive player (not just literally). Just a matter of time before hes called up to the France squad apparently...

In todays market, with the 50M bid for Wan Bissaka and rumoured 80M for Maguire etc., I'd want comfortably more than 45M (paper quote bid)

Yes, he will eventually go for CL football. However, it'd be nice if we were more like other clubs and got a massive fee for one of our shrewd investments for a change.

We could then chase Maripan and co., using at least a chunk of the money gained to strengthen our squad

Yes, that sounds simple and easy :whistle:

#70M

thornburyiron

If we’d really gone for 7th and got it we’d be in Europa next season. Win that and it’s champions league the year after. Can’t be that difficult can it?

Bazshuayi

Did someone say 'nurse' :hmm: :puzzled:

Josh Pask joins Coventry

Lukerz

God once they start Sky they don’t stop on a story do they. Why on earth would we let a players agent know what we would sell him for?

Hamstew

I actually wouldn't want Pogba. Only take him to sell him to some other mug club

MrsGrey

Sanchez :biggrin:

thornburyiron

Sounds like Sky just regurgitating their own story. They said yesterday that the club say he’s not for sale and wouldn’t sell for anything less than £60M when they were reporting an alleged £45M bid.
