With Kompany leaving will City make a move for Declan

Reports today say Maguire will be the target. I think we’ll be ok this summer with Rice, but next year City will want a replacement for Fernandinho and that’s when I think we’ll have problems (unless they sign Rodri this summer).

Yeoldhammer · May 2019

As long as Rice doesn't get poached I don't see us losing anyone of significant worth to us as a club. I think if Pelle can strike Gold with 3 quality players, a defender, midfielder and striker. We could be set for a decent season. (however this relies that players like Yarmelenko and Lanzini get back to their best form despite their long lay offs)

Lukerz · May 2019

Rondon would be a shrewd signing & I think I would prefer him over Mitrovic. £15m for a 29 year old coming off the back of a good season & having worked with Pelle at Malaga before. Bit of a no brainier.

I've heard a few people refer to him as the French Emile Heskey

ASLEFshrugged · May 2019

The Nottingham Post says that Forest want Byram although it doesn't say whether it would be a transfer or an extension of the loan deal.

Where’s all that from?

OldCastleSwift · May 2019

The Internet and stuff

This site does a reasonable job of trawling the various sites for rumours:

https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/West+Ham+United/Transfer+News

These are the ones I've seen so far (I'm only logging 'ins'):

alderz · May 2019

Grey ;ok

I like newsnow, but I don't like it on my phone as it's not as easy to read. Always useful to see where the rumours are coming from because they are much, much easier to dismiss as nonsense when I know that ti's an exclusive from the Express :ok:

Yeoldhammer · May 2019

I think the window will largely rely on us shifting a few bodies before we get any in. I can see this being a late window of purchases for us. around the late July time.

I googled west ham

Pearces_Left_Foot · May 2019

Its been widely reported we have 30mil budget to start with and anything else has to be funded by sales so hopefully we can get at least one big signing in early than sort the rest later in the window

According to Greek Radio, West Ham have made a bid for Kostas Fortounis. He sounds expensive.

Just a quick question ,if we got two good offers for Anderson and Rice and we had to sell one which one would we take .......i think i would have to go with Anderson as i believe Rice would be harder to replace ........Dont want to loose either

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years · May 2019

Anderson

There are lots of wingers out there

Defensive midfielders are far less common

Hamstew · May 2019

100% Anderson

ASLEFshrugged · May 2019

If we're prepared to sell either then it's a signal all players that the club has limited ambitions.

But 'widely reported' can easily mean one (possibly incorrect) source endlessly repeated.

Only time will tell.

This, for me, is the biggest problem. You can find a dozen blogs/websites and half a dozen 'proper' (ish) media outlets reporting the same story so t looks at first glance like it is pretty firmly established bit of news, but they are all reporting what each other has said, and a close reading reveals that it all comes from a single speculative rumour (that used language like 'could be interested', 'may make a move for', 'are reportedly considering bidding for' , has been linked with') in something like the Express.

But it was on Claret and Hugh so it must be true

Good point, well made. My bad :yercoat:

Quite poetic Pearce 🙂

steve · May 2019

Have we signed anyone yet today.................. :tumbleweed:

McHammer · May 2019

Yes

McHammer · May 2019

ASLEFshrugged · May 2019

goal.com reckons Adrian could be going to Liverpool as back up keeper with Palace and Bournemouth also interested.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years · May 2019

Sky linking us to Clyne

I'd like for his to sign clyne, but with Zab getting an extension and the possibility of a small budget I'd doubt we'd spend almost £15mil on a RB
