You need to be playing in Europe to attract the likes of Mertens etc but you won't get there unless there is a freak of a season like last year or you spend over the odds on wages. We are not going to be able to shop at the second level let alone the top clubs.
All a bit circular.
If we sold Lanzini to Everton from £30mil but got Sigurdsson for £25mil.....would that be a good deal?
Can't we have both?
The Sun also quotes Bilic on Defoe - and actually uses his full quote which the Mirror doesn't - but doesn't mention Adams at all.

Looks like a piece of "creative" journalism by the Mirror
“We are going to have to take some risks because we are not a Real Madrid or a Manchester United.
“They can get a player who is no risk and just say 'get him here.' We can't do that.
“Either you take a risk on players who have possibly made it in a lower league or somebody who did it two years ago and then maybe had a little blip and you hope he's going to do it again.
“Maybe he’s a little in injury prone or who is a strange character. It is hard for us to get those who are a 10 out of 10.”
Bony, Sturridge and Balotelli on the list then...
They should be posted to the top of any transfer thread....
Also I think Defoe will happen, for hi, to say this is home in such a positive and open manner...
The highest West Ham can finish this season is 9th, winning £22.8m prize money, the lowest is 16th, which would earn the club £9.5m.
Raul Jiminez ;hmm
Also linked to Bony again
I think Bony is more likely than Jimenez, to be honest
