Transfer rumours and speculation to take us through to summer.

His stats are better than I thought he scored as many goals as any of our forwards last season in a struggling Newcastle team. I think he would be a decent signing for the rumoured £16mil as a second striker we still need to sign a main striker hopefully Gomez

Adam

As a backup striker, I don’t think we’ll find a better player for the rumoured £16m. I’ve never been a fan of his, mainly because of his goal scoring record. But as a backup, I would definitely take him.

Not West Ham, but still worth a mention I feel. Celtic have signed the wonderfully named Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo.

MrsGrey

I remarked on that to grey this morning. Looking forward to Kammy having a go at that one on Goals on Sunday. :devil:

It will be a battle between Kammy and Merse

OldCastleSwift

Strong rumours on Twitter that Valencia will announce Gomez either tonight or tomorrow.

Yeoldhammer

Who is next on the West Ham list.

OldCastleSwift

Rondon, I guess.

Probably the 2019 equivalent of Lucas Perez

OldCastleSwift

But then Rondon is probably a Carroll replacement.

If Arnie goes, we'll need another striker. Maybe two if we're replacing Perez.

Yeoldhammer

And flush with Perez cash i'm sure Newcastle will be back in for Rondon

OldCastleSwift

Maybe. But with Rafa gone he may not fancy it.

Hopefully the draw Pelle will be enough.

Are we actually going to get a DM? I fear we won’t. Carlos Sanchez it is then

OldCastleSwift

According to Ex's latest podcast, Oxford, Cullen and Coventry will be given pre-season to see if they can be an effective back-up to Rice.

So if you believe that, then probably not.

I believe it when I see it , the story seems to change every day . He has only just finished playing for Uruguay I think he will probably go on holiday next and I am sure his agent will be exploring how much money he can make ( the agent that is ! )

baracks_a_hammer

Here’s a completely wildcard and ludicrous suggestion. If Gomez inevitably fails, why don’t we offer to give Alexis Sanchez a home for a year if his current employers continue to subsidise the bulk of his wage

ianbishoplegend

I would be happy with Rondon & a wildcard. I would also be happy to start the season with Antonio upfront. He is the perfect foil for Lanzini, Anderson and Fornal.

If Pelle can’t get the best out of his fellow countryman, I doubt anyone could

:hmm: Carroll is still a free agent :biggrin:

Anyone know where Carlton is these days :whistle:

thornburyiron

At West Ham. He’s always there

Fortuneseeker

Anyone have any idea what is going on with the West Ham Women's team as yet another player has left today and there is no sign of any new ones coming in? I appreciate a few of their better players had major injuries last season but their squad wasn't that big in the first place and they played several games without a full bench.

MrsGrey

I'm sure the manager has it all under control.

Vorselaarhammer

Have to give 20% of that to Stoke...

Adam

I’ve heard it’s an overage. So, 20% of anything over £20m.

PrestonHammer

If true, then good riddance to bad rubbish.

Yeoldhammer

23m is tragic but to get rid of that toxic character from the dressing room thank god.
