Dani Alves leaving PSG. Let's get him!

Sign up Cellabos stick a wedge on Rondon. Forget Maxi Gomez. Our midfield first 11 would be complete.

Just had a quick gander at KUMB’s transfer thread.
My head hurts now.
Are all the posters about 15 and have an encyclopaedic knowledge of FIFA?

Cuellar was touted as a done deal by a journo, via C&H back in May:

We have apparently bid 10 million plus hughill or byram for Rondon. Great work agent Bilic.

steve

is it not both players plus 10 m .guess we might have to up that a bit ,as i read they turned it down

baracks_a_hammer

One way to up the bid is to remove Hugill from the equation

I expect the transfer market to explode once AFCON and Copa America are done

Fortuneseeker

Yeold,

Copa America finishes on July 7 so Gomez can complete his transfer then. :pray:

AFCON goes onto 19 July which is a few weeks before we play Athletico Bilbao, not much time to settle in.

Understood we were looking a four of the French strikers at the Under 21's so they could join sooner.

Declan Rice comment today according to Daily Express.

The Hammers academy product publicly committed his future to the club on Twitter on Tuesday when asked by a fan if he plans on wearing the No.41 shirt next season.

He replied by saying: “Had loads of people asking this... I WILL be keeping 41 for this season.”

The no. 41 shirt at Man U is currently untaken...

ASLEF, surely a professional footballer wouldn't be that cynical would they? :hmm:

ASLEFshrugged

Surely a professional footballer couldn't count that high...

That's what agents are for.

Innit. From what I've read from a number of ITKs, we're waiting for the various tournaments to finish before anything will happen. Two of our rumoured targets, Gomez and Maripan, are at the Copa America so I doubt they'll be progressed until that's done.

I suspect we're also waiting to shift some players before we bring anyone else in. Hernandez, Obiang, Hugill and Byram probably represent £20-25m of our budget so a lot is dependent on them being sold.

Marega progress? http://sportwitness.co.uk/player-said-believe-hes-signing-west-ham-hammers-waving-e35m-offer/

I would like Payet, Morrison, amazing left-back and a box to box powerhouse midfielder. Not sure what all the fuss is about Gomez, would prefer Arnie and Antonio over him anyday. I would take just payet though, would be wonderful, what an abosulte joy he was to watch. I think he controlls the ball with his mind.

ASLEFshrugged

Where does Payet (or Morrison) fit into the squad? We've just bought Fornals and we've got plenty of players to fill the attacking midfield/winger positions.

We'd end up with a lot of well paid benchwarmers.

ianbishoplegend

We would have quality on the bench rather then dead wood. The quality would get a lot of game time, as many positions interchangeable. Morrison would replace Lanzini, who may struggle with the arrival of Formal anyway. Payet would walk into the side, putting Anderson on the right. Leaving the Ukraine and Antonio on the bench - replacing Arnie, Payet and Anderson whenever needed.
