    My head is leading my hart on this one, the idea of him coming to us makes my stomach gurgle as I really do not feel we need him, however looking at this from arms length, I think this particular rumour has legs and is not a tongue in cheek suggestion.

    I was going to post a comment in response but decided that would just have been a knee jerk reaction.

    I'm surprised we haven't been linked with Ronaldo yet.

    C&h reporting talks ongoing for incheanho city want 25 mill

    They also say we want a right sided midfielder. Hello Antonio? ;hmm
  • mikemike
    I'd prefer incheanho over bats.Just pay the 25 mill and get it over with(wish it was that easy ;biggrin)anyway iv'e just read that leicester are odds on favourites to sign him.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    West Ham making signings and the word "Easy" very rarely appear in the same sentence! ;weep

    According to L'Equipe Lacazette is on his way to Arsenal with Giroud told he can leave. Apparently he's not keen on a move back to France so we are - allegedly - his preferred destination.

    See the problem is if the buy back fee is pretty close to the purchase fee, we could end up at an overall loss by the time we've paid his wages, agents fees etc. So we would be taking all the risks of ownership and enjoy none of the financial benefits if he is a success. Doesn't sound like a compelling deal (if the rumoured but back thing is true). In some ways it'd be worse than a loan.

    ;hmm

    That's not really building for the future, though. It's a short term fix. Not what I mean when I think of 'the next level' ;ok

    Rumours are Leicester are now favourites to sign him. Getting ready for the excuses, it may only be June but we appear to be following a similar path on transfers to previous windows. ;weep

    There is nothing whatsoever to suggest that we're messing around, so why say we are?

    grey,

    I come in peace. ;ok

    I am basing it on the transfer business that certain other clubs, who are supposed to be in our bracket, the likes of Leicester and Everton, have completed so far.

    Are we 'messing around' or are we being messed around? Who knows?

    We're resigning Jonny Specs ;hmm

    What baffles me slightly is the suggestion that we'll match any offer for Giroud ;hmm

    I mean, if we want him, why not make an offer for him now? It just suggests to me that he's on the back burner whilst we wait for decisions to be made elsewhere, i.e. Iheanacho or Bats, which given the debacle with Bacca last season, is a very risky game to play.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    I think that we may end up with the Bat
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I can understand a sell on clause for Iheanacho but I doubt City will buy him back anyway. A club that size financially is able to go after players better than him. If Pep for example thought he fitted in he wouldn't be selling him and would be telling him he's in his plans.

    I'm most likely being impatient but I feel frustrated that no Bats or Iheanacho good news is forthcoming

    Baz, Die Fledermaus rules OK - ;thumbsup

    I haven't seen that anywhere (although I confess I've been trying to limit my exposure to transfer tittle-tattle trauma). Where had you read that?

    Probably best to avoid a transfer speculation thread then ;ok
