    In a troubled, uncertain world where we're not sure what makes sense and whats going to happen anymore.... It's always good to know you can rely on Brookingsirons for some good, old-fashioned, consistency of pessimism ;thumbsup

    That Hugh Southon piece is a blatant Sully 'blame the gaffer' noise.

    Following on from last Jan, where Bilic was 'happy with his squad and it was his call to go with the forwards we had'.

    I enjoy a speculative discussion about prospects as much as anyone else but in truth, the transfer window is one of those times where actions speak far louder than words.

    I for one, am happy that we are keeping fairly quiet as I see little upside in constantly talking to the press about intentions and wishes.

    Come the end of the window, if in fact we have not added meaningfully to the squad and let a number of players leave, then the lack of action will certainly lead to a plethora of words, and rightly so

    until then however........... I am going to stick to my original assertion that Giroud would be a great signing, so there ;wink

    Jack Sullivan has perked up with a tweet in light of the news... ;doh

    Just when I thought they were all gonna stay silent.

    He really hasn't helped the situation, has he. Blatant attention seeking and fire-fuelling, IMO

    Iheanacho off to Leicester according to the BBC. £25m deal.

    Could it be true, though?

    The post from Jack is pathetic.

    I wonder if our maximum budget is £20m for striker one and £15m for striker two? ;hmm
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    I reckon it's all a smokescreen and they have someone else lined up. I don't know who though.

    He used a popular acronym for 'fiddlesticks' and a sad face emoticon

    And the relevance to West Ham is? ;puzzled

    In response to what?
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Shortly after Twitter reported Bilic pulled the plug on Iheanacho.

    Who the BBC are now saying is close to joining Leicester.

    Oh dear

    Another PR classic from those involved at the club. ;doh

    So he (Jack) could be referring to

    C&H?

    The BBC?

    His dad allowing the manager to have the final say on transfers?

    All it's served to do is rile up the online fan community.

    And me, to be honest. He must have realised what would have happened. Utterly unnecessary.

    Mrs G,

    or, and I know this sounds really far out and crazy, he could have elected to just tweet nothing at all??..

    Absolutely. But he's done that loathsome fishing thing and left it there. No explanation offered. Just dangles some obviously bad news on social media and leave the fans second guessing.

    Completely irresponsible, IMO.

    No disrespect to herb but his transfer thread is now 80 pages long and all we have to show for it is a 33 year old freebie.

    Would it be possible to shut this one down and get Baz to open a new one in the hope reversing the fortunes and bringing some good karma?

    OCS ;ok I've never been happy with Jack tweeting.

    I get that he's a fan - so if he is just tweeting as a fan, fair enough I suppose. He's allowed.

    But If he's tweeting on the basis of his privileged position, and inside info as the owner's son, he should shut up.

    You can't have it both ways.

    Edit: I refer you to brookings' earlier post re twonks. ;wink
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Are you saying that Herb is some sort of Jonah? ;lol
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    No im rather saying that Baz is a proven miracle worker and we could do with a sprinkle of his magic dust
