    We don't need another striker IMO we have Bowen, Fulkrüg, Wilson, Marshall plus other attacking wide players, also it is highly unlikely we will find one before Monday. Any late incomings are likely to be defensive.
  • LukerzLukerz
    I'd be surprised Füllkrug, Wilson & Marshall got 5 PL goals between them.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I'd be surprised if they didn't, even bearing in mind that Marshall will probably be out on loan.

    Although I would like another striker, I believe goals will come whoever is up front providing we sort out midfield. Bowen is best on the right. Paqueta or Summerville on the left. Wingbacks to provide crosses. Fullkrug and Wilson will get goals providing they get balls into them.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Craig Dawson is a free agent...... Just saying
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    What, as a striker? 😉
  • LukerzLukerz
    I agree Bowen & (hopefully a fully fit & sharp) Summerville either side of Wilson/Füllkrug should result in chances for them.

    I still feel, with our current squad, our best bet is Paquetá as a false 9 & he's not even a striker.

    Having said that, being reported Paquetá may not travel with squad on Sunday due to transfer interest.

    ✈️ There is lot of chance that Lucas Paqueta will not travelled with West Ham for the game against Nottingham Forest

    ❗️As revelead, Aston Villa have opened talks with West Ham for the Brazilian midfielder.

    ❌️ During the last weeks, West Ham turne down a proposal from Tottenham

    We need some experience in defence to sort the others out. Dawson would not cost lots in wages.

    Surprised Potter hasn't pushed for Dunk or Duffy

  • alderzalderz
    I know he’s about 80 years old but I would love Dawson back
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Billy Bonds or Julian Dicks would sort our weak defence.

    Being serious for a moment, I reckon he would do a solid job behind the scenes as part of the squad., encouragement, example, etc and if needed………

  • LukerzLukerz
    Aguerd in advanced talks with Marseille
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    We must be bringing in a CB then; our current 4 is 1 light if we're playing a back 3 imo, but going into the season with only 3 would be crazy, even if Potter wants to utilise other players, such as AWB, there.
  • stevesteve
    whats all this talk about vieria from arsenal ,if this is to replace paqueta .Then im not interested .Villa can do one
  • alderzalderz
    If Aguerd left and Charlie Cresswell came in, I’d be happy with that. Cresswell’s vocal and good in the air, and in the middle of our back three I think he’d do really well. But Dawson should come in too and be the alternative option. Idk who mentioned Dawson first, but I’m very into this idea.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Ex says Aguerd out, Cresswell in

    Yeah, I'd be more than happy with that. He's probably a bit slower than Aguerd, and less cultured with the ball at his feet, but he's much better in the air and hopefully wants to be here, which, it seems, Aguerd doesn't want to be.

    Dawson was desperate to move away from London when he left, would he really want to come back south?

    I’d personally sell Paqueta if it’s big money and we are replacing him. He does disappoint more than he delivers IMO.

    But if we’re selling him and not bringing in an attacking midfielder that would be a bad decision at this stage of the window
  • LukerzLukerz
    Was Fernandes not the replacement?

    He's more of a JWP replacement imo.

    I don’t think he would, I’m just saying stuff

    The Athletic report we are continuing to work to reach an agreement with Villa, with the possibility of a loan to include an obligation.

    If that is the case he’s not being replaced.

    So I went on to the oracle that is Twitter to see what they say about the Paqueta situation and we can possibly see what actually happens by close of play.



    1. Deal agreed for 47m including loan fee, obligation to buy and addons. Paqueta wants to go.
    2. Potter does not want him to go and insisting he stays
    3. Paqueta does not want to go and his family are settled and want to stay where they are but an agent close to Sully is leaking this stuff to get the move done as they couldn't sell anyone else.
    4. Villa pushing for the sale but West Ham want to keep him. This one makes no sense as Villa cannot cause the deal to happen unless meeting a valuation of our asking, and if we don't want it to happen that valuation is 100m.

    Romano report Emerson is moving to Marseille for €1mil

    We have to be wage capped right? Why are we getting such a low fee for a good player

    Good luck to him, been a pretty good signing for us
  • LukerzLukerz
    £50m for Paqueta is a lot of money. You can see why the club might be tempted to sell.

    I still think it would be madness to let him go on the penultimate day of the window. However, £50m is a lot for a player who I still don’t know where his best position is. It may well just help the overall balance of the side.
  • BarneyBarney
    Personally I dont think he will be a great loss if we can get a more energetic / mobile replacement. Will miss the bit of magic he sometimes comes up with but he does fade in and out of games a lot.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    If we sell Paqueta and don't replace him, that IMO will be crazy and a dangerous move IMO...
