    I heard he saw Calleri play and decided he wanted to come back and fight for his place.

    What a battle that would be!

    If Zabaleta is one of the three players to take us to the next level, does that mean the other 2 are going to be strikers, as most of ours can't stay fit long enough to make a valid contribution to the team moving upwards?
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    So I've been out all day and now find out that we haven't signed Iheanacho ;hmm

    Can't be right, surely
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    It's almost like the papers and bloggers make stuff up.

    Which is, obviously, just impossible.

    West Ham are prepared to meet the £140,000-per-week wage demands of Everton's England midfielder Ross Barkley, 23. (Star)

    Hart
    Zabaleta - Reid - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Obiang - Kouyate
    Antonio - Barkley - Lanzini
    Iheanacho

    Amazing XI we're going to have ;lol
  • LukerzLukerz
    Being linked with Pickford in a Sun 'Exclusive'.

    £17m with Adrian going the other way.

    I would be reasonably confident we would not be prepared to do any such thing, and that we would not contemplate paying £50m for a player with one year left on their deal.

    Sky are reporting that Lyon have offered 12 million Euros for Javier Hernandez, would he be a better option than Kelechi, especially if we might have to sell him back in 2 years?
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Fortune

    He's certainly the more 'proven' of the two.

    I wouldn't pay too much attention to that 'buy back' thing - I don't think that website is particularly reliable or accurate.

    Think, overall, I'd prefer Iheanacho - but what about both?

    (Memo to self: find 'yeah right' smiley.)

    Fails to mention the most compelling reason: he's just signed a new contract at Juve...
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    grey, We could certainly do with 2 decent "fit" strikers. You could put forward a case to sell all our current ones and start with a new set. ;ok
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    I'd rather keep ;ac

    I think if we had another main, fit first choice striker, it would ease the pressure on his old bones and muscles. There's no question that when fit he is still a very good player.

    On balance, Grey, my preference would be to move AC on. I don't think he can fulfill the role of a back up because when needed there's every chance he'll be crocked. He just seems to get injured randomly and this isn't necessarily caused by a heavy workload. If Sakho also leaves, I would say we probably need two strikers

    Iheanacho would be a great signing IMO as he scores all kinds of goals and has the perfect physique for the PL. Also, he's already done it here.

    Whether he's available or not I have no idea. I would have thought Man City would want to keep him.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    grey, the problem with AC is on his day he can be unplayable but as baracks indicated his availability can only really be measured in days and not months.
  • mikemike
    I would back that fortune IF we could sell our strikers. ;ok

    I've just seen this round up of today's stories.....

    A round up of Sunday's Transfer rumours - so take with a pinch of a Salt.

    Snodgrass- Brighton are lining up an £8 million bid for the Scotsman. -

    Ross Barkley - West Ham are prepared to match Barkleys £140k a week salary.

    Pickford - Everton and West Ham have made Enquires.

    Martial - West Ham and PSG are in talks with the Manchester United attacker with Man Utd wanting around £50 million for him.

    Iheanacho - Rumoured Medical has been taken but still waiting on City to set a asking price for him.

    I would think that Barkley will end up at Manu, Martial to PSG (WH compete financially with PSG ;lol)..

    snodgrass ;hmm, can't see it after 6 months.

    Think city will have a buy back clause in the contract but I think we shpuld go for it anyways the kid can be a huge asset

    Can't just go forward with him though as he is only a young lad and there will be load software pressure on him
  • MarkNobleLocalHeroMarkNobleLocalHero
    software pressure?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    He'll be in bits...... ;run

    I'm not going to byte...
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I can see the sense in a "first option" clause but can't see any club agreeing to buy a player where the selling club can say "we are buying him back now".
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    I watched a program on that ....

    That's what happened with Morata at Juve. Real just took him back when they were ready
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    And carvahal

    Barcelona but clauses into most of their young players they let go like Romeu and Deulofeu

    United have a clause to get Depay back

    Chelsea looking to get rid of traore with a buy back clause
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    as long as the buyback clause is more than you paid for them it should be okay. if we got Inhenacho for 24m then put the buyback on it at 30m or 40m
  • alderzalderz
    The frustration would be if they took him back for £30m only to sell him on for £50m
