    So I wonder whether he saw enough in Rice to believe he is a DM ;hmm

    I agree he's addressed some of the requirements, but the massive hole in our midfield that teams kept walking through for the last couple of seasons hasn't yet be filled, IMO, unless, as I say, Rice is going to be that man.

    The sum total of summer activity means I cannot wait for the season to begin. At this stage, the club could post a video of a tin of beans in a home jersey, and I'd get excited about it!

    Looks like the transfer action is speeding up. Fulham getting in some players. I think next week will se a bundle of action.

    secrethammersfan, I agree with this bit;

    But its not just the signings it is also the new manager and what he's likely to do with them that has me counting down the days til the season's start. Happy days.

    I think its clear Pellegrini has being watching us for a while and knows exactly where we are weak and what he wants from his team. He has got in pace, he has got in better technical players. Things we were severely lacking last season. If he can get a DM he will probably feel that our business is done I think.

    He has also brought the average age of the team down I think we were the 2nd oldest West Brom were 1st. Im looking forward to see how quickly Pellegrini can get them playing the way he wants and hopefully we will see some great attacking football

    Triple Training, as well. For years, we've been saying the team tire out easily. It was obvious from as far away as China, apparently!

    If you have followed previous pre-season coverage, you'll know that triple training sessions are not new.

    New for us ;whistle

    14:07 BREAKING NEWS

    West Ham have agreed a club-record deal in the region of £35m for Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson, according to Sky sources.

    Sky Sports News reported earlier on Thursday that there were some other terms still to be finalised – and we understand those have now been agreed.

    The 25-year old is expected to fly to London today to complete a medical – personal terms are not expected be a problem.

    Fulham get Seri for reported £35m. ;hmm

    I wonder at what point will he realise exactly who he’s signed for? He was likely told he was signing for a West London PL team but probably didn’t research it much further..

    Sky reporting that Palace are considering a £15mil ofr Antonio

    I dont mind letting him go, but for at least £20m+

    Also if we can recoup £10m for Hugill would be great

    Doesn’t sound good
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    To be Sold ?
  • LukerzLukerz
    I know for a fact that Winston doesn’t like Carroll. Maybe a bust up.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Well let's be honest, it was going far too well, wasn't it ;lol
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    They probably had an argument about who was having the plushest treatment room
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Maybe bought them out of their contracts? Agree with Lukerz that they wouldn't announce that they were for sale.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Thing is Reid only signed a new deal this time last summer. ;hmm
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Must be something disciplinary. Can't see what else they'd have to make a statement about ;hmm

    This is what I think the signing of Jack Wilshire will be like for the 3 years he is with us. Essentially replaced Andy Carroll with Injury prone Wilshire, I don't think the club will ever learn. xD

    He was almost gone to Chelsea wasn’t he, until he inevitably got crocked?

    Fist fight, according to some random Twitter rumours
