    BTFC were bought by Glenn Tamplin - who owns AGP Steel Structures, "The Fabrication Specialist" - in November, less than a week after it was announced that he'd withdrawn a bid for Dagenham & Redbridge.

    They are saying Mark Wright ex Towie is buying 20% of the club and a documentary will follow ;hmm

    its ok saying we spent big in the summer , but if you buy a load of rubbish players what's the point .

    How much did this lot cost in wages and loan fee's

    Tore - rubbish
    Calleri - rubbish
    Arbeloa - missing
    Nordveit - never good enough
    Zaza - never worked out.

    not all signings work out I understand that but this many is dreadful
    business and cannot happen again if we are to ever improve as a club.

    in all honesty although I think Ayew will work out so far Fonte and Snodgrass
    haven't had the best of starts .

    Surely this should tell the board to buy quality proven premier league
    players in the future .....


  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Snodgrass Ayew and Fonte are suppose to fall under that catergory of proven.

    However the best players for the majority of teams in the top half apart from Spurs are all Foreign. Need better scouting and a mix of PL quality mixed with Actual pace and technical ability of the other lands !

    It has taken Spurs a lot of transfer windows to get to where they are now.

    random comment but okay.

    I didn't intend it to be random.

    My pint was, that it will take a lot of transfer windows for us to have a hope of significantly improving our squad.

    Nordtveit on his lack of opportunities: “That’s the way football is. Something has been negative, but all in all I do not regret the move.”
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    I think this a rehashed story but....

    So just me posting today....

    This seems about right.

    Barcelona are apparently lining up a £135m move for Kante and Coutinho.

    Coutinho for £15m is a bargain.

    West Ham could submit a £30m bid for Arsenal and England midfielder Jack Wilshere, 25, who is on loan at Bournemouth. The Hammers are also interested in a loan deal for Chelsea and Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi, 23. (Evening Standard)

    The Hammers will also offer winger Michail Antonio, 27, a new £65,000-a-week deal to keep him at the club next season. (Sun)
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    When I first saw the Wilshere story I sort of laughed and shook my head. Then I saw it in a different paper and thought (even though I dont believe the story for a second) yes, West Ham would at this moment have to pay 15 to 20 million over the odds to beat other teams to an injury prone English player ;doh

    #insert Sturridges name for Wilshere and reads same thing
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    p.s the game time theyre giving Batshuyai will most likely destroy all his confidence just in time for a move to the London Stadium ;doh again

    JW dad is a big WH fan according to Ray Parlour.

    Who's position would he take in our best 11?
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    I also see the Zabaleta story seems to have legs.

    Not sure if he does anymore however...

    I thought if you bought pre-broken stuff it was cheaper?

    That applies to everything (including biscuits which takes me back to my youth) apart from footballers who are English
  • LukerzLukerz
    Sky reporting that Antonio has rejected our contract offer. He wants to be one of the top earners.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    He should be

    Since he broke into the first team he's always been a top 5 player in our team despite shoehorned into playing in every position

    It's between him and Obiang for me for HOTY and last year he was the only guy who was a threat to Payet winning HOTY

    Should be one of the biggest earners
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Luke this morning Slav said "we will definitely be offering him a new contract in the near future" and by this afternoon sky report he's rejected. It all happens so fast.
    I hadn't realised by the head future Slav meant in the next 10 minutes or so.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It might have been a revised offer with Sky reporting what they read on the web.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Personally don't think he'll be here next season.
