    IF the rumours that DM went for JWP over Fofana of Monaco then it was a very poor decision IMO.

    At the time The guardian reckoned Moyes wanted someone with Premier League experience but we signed Alvarez as well as JWP.

    Rumours were we offered Monaco £30m for Fofana but he went to AC Milan a year later for £20m

    Maybe he turned us down

    Not something for me, but thought this would be of interest https://bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cj07p5r3z73o

    I don't remember it being called a bad move in his first season when he scored 7 and got 12 assists.
    I agree he's been pretty poor since his return from loan.
  • SlackerSlacker
    Yeah I remember there being talk about him being picked again for England in his first season for us, but he’s definitely gone downhill since.

    Watching Defoe and Kudus in after match interview, sickening- two traitors IMO
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    No bad feelings towards either

    If we'd let Defoe leave when he asked for a transfer in the summer he'd have joined Manchester United instead of Spurs in January and we might have got more for him (Man U signed Louis Saha from Fulham instead)

    At least Defoe carried on playing after relegation, 15 goals in 22 appearances 2003/04 including a goal on the opening day at Preston but he also got sent off three times

    As for Kudus he was a Felipe Anderson, one good season and pants afterwards. We made a profit and cleared some space from the wage bill

    Not a surprise is it?

    Tottenham owners inject £100 million into the club! Depending where you look their owners appear to have less wealth than ours.

    West Ham's principal owners and shareholders are majority owner David Sullivan and Daniel Kretinsky, who have net worths of approximately £1.2 billion and £13 billion respectively, according to a May 2024 report by City AM. The Gold family, led by Vanessa Gold, and Albert "Tripp" Smith are also significant shareholders, with the combined wealth of the West Ham owners placing them among the richest in the Premier League.

    The WHUWFC are in the mess they are due to a lack of proper investment and the Mens team aren't doing much better!

    Tuchel complaining that more England fans didn't feel compelled to attend yet another pointless friendly in which the result was virtually assured before kick off, such was the quality of the opposition. He then goes on to suggest they could have got a fourth or fifth, but got no energy from the England support.

    @Fortuneseeker
    But this is just railing at the wind. I think most West Ham fans are in general agreement with you, I am for one. The biggest gripe is the stadium and the boards insistence that it’s a great deal for a world class stadium. A lot of fans, me included, disagree with that. I had no issue leaving Upton Park but apart from capacity there are few pluses.
    Investment is important but the Golds want out, Kretinsky put in £100m + a few years ago and Sully is happy with the situation.
    I believe it is the lack of owning the stadium that deters prospective buyers, added to Sullys reluctance to sell, and this is, imo, the main issue.
    While the Golds shares are for sale I don’t think West Ham are in an investable situation.

    C+H saying Fullkrug injured again .muscle tear could be out for a few weeks

    C&H claim that the Gold family only want to sell 15% of their 25% but potential buyers have been put off because they need 20% to get a vote on major decisions

    Earlier this year it was rumoured that Tripp Smith might buy 15% to add to his 8% or Kretinsky might buy them and become the biggest shareholder but that hasn't happened
