  • Why would we also sell Magassa?
  • Lukerz said:

    According to what I’ve read, we’re selling Magassa, Fernandes, Paquetá & Rodríguez!

    I’d give up reading, if I were you. Try to save something from January.
  • I know this is sort of thing that a lot of people don't care about, but 'The West Ham Way' website is describing Lamadrid as a right winger.

    According to transfermarkt, he's played just about everywhere, but he's certainly not a right winger.


  • @alderz, He doesn't appear to have an experience of playing Centre Back though?
  • Loaning a 22 year old to go into our development squad seems strange. How are you going to tell if he is good enough for the first team from playing PL2 games in the 5 months we are loaning him for ? then to boot at 22 he is already in my opinion past the age of "will he or will he not make it" at that age you are either playing in the first team or should be shipped out and looking for another club at a lower level.

    I’d assume it’s to give him 5 months to get used to being in England but it doesn’t help us loads.
  • Burnley want Ward-Prowse loan

    Latest from Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth and Chris Reidy:

    Burnley want to sign West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse on loan until the end of the season.

    They have explored the conditions of a potential deal for the 31-year-old.

    Ward-Prowse is not in West Ham’s plans and has been told he can leave. His contract runs until the summer of 2027.

    Burnley want a midfielder with Premier League experience after Josh Cullen suffered an ACL injury.
  • Why would we do that to a team just below us
  • How about Hermansen for Kinsky loan swap? Rumour from Ex.

    I am not sure he would improve them that much as he has been poor for us and like us they need attacking intent to get out of this relegation fight, and that's not his strong point. This said how annoying would it be to see him suddenly discover his dead ball skills he left at Southampton again?
  • Latest rumour is Spurs want Summerville for £25m
  • They can want, but they can't get.

    Shame about Cullen. He was forging a good career. Hope he isn't derailed too badly.
  • I think it’s a Sully “one for the future”.

    I give it three games until someone on Twitter has decided the reason we’re not out of the relegation zone is that Nuno hasn’t played this guy.

    Ex confirmed that he’s a Sullivan pick

    Apparently DS has a thing for obscure Latino players, maybe he thinks he’s going to find the next Pele who has been overlooked by every other scouting team in the world

    I reckon Paqueta, Roderiguex and JWP will be leaving but the last two on loan.

    Read somewhere that JWP will be staying as Irving and Rodriguez leaves Soucek, Potts, Magassa, Fernandes and Paqueta to cover 3 central midfield slots

    Paqueta deal has stalled as Flamengo aren’t interested in a loan back until May
  • Tim Vickety on SKY just now -

    Lamadrid is a punt

    Paqueta - West Ham are resisting the sale, Flamengo not in a hurry but need to sort out payment details, Paqueta wants out.

    Paqueta - West Ham are resisting the sale, Flamengo not in a hurry but need to sort out payment details, Paqueta wants out.

    Flamengo sporting director José Boto says (from C&H)

    “This is the first and last time I’m going to talk about it. We really want Paquetá, and he really wants to come. In negotiations, there’s always a third party involved, and that third party isn’t very convinced about selling Paquetá.

    “We’ve made significant progress on this issue, but it’s a very difficult operation. These are high values and a player of a very high calibre. We have to be patient in negotiating with West Ham.

    “It’s not exclusive to Brazilian clubs to pay in instalments. All clubs in the world pay in instalments. There are a series of dealings that take time. We wanted Paquetá here already, and we’re working very hard to make it happen.”

    As mentioned the Brazilian transfer window doesn’t close until 31 March
  • West Ham sign Lamadrid on loan

    West Ham have completed the signing of Keiber Lamadrid from Venezuelan club Deportivo La Guaira on loan for the rest of the season.

    The loan has an option to make the move permanent in the summer.
  • So the sticking point is that Flamengo want to pay in instalments.

    And maybe Nuno wants to keep him?

    And maybe Nuno wants to keep him?
    So why was Flamengo’s argument that in Brazil it’s normal to pay in instalments?

    I think this situation calls for Donald pp Trump ,to resolve the argument bigly
  • Brazilian TV channel Globo Esporte says Flamengo made a formal bid of £29.9m plus £4.3m add ons but that still doesn’t meet our valuation of £38.5m
  • edited January 23
    Perhaps he can make up the shortfall out of his winnings. =)
  • My guess is that they wait until our window closes and say this is the best offer you will get now, couple this with his not being playable for some odd reason at present and the club will be over a barrel. The best we could try and negotiate is the add on to the fee rather than add ons which would take the fee to 34m. I imagine he would refuse even if someone like Chelsea offered us 40m.
  • C&H reckon the bid was £30m over 5 years plus £5m performance related add ons

    The bid has been rejected as the board want a bigger initial payment and smaller add ons

    Seems like it’s now a matter of “when” rather than “if”
  • I do think we need a bigger initial payment.

    I wonder what his wages are.
  • He's on £150k/week.
  • So £5m a year.

    What a world we live in
  • More like £7.8m, plus bonus. 😬
  • Great Maths from me!

    Crazy.

    So this month he gets well over half a million without playing. I guess he does have a back strain. 😡
