    The Sun says the Saudi side that Bilic managed last season want Antonio and Palace want him if Zaha leaves.

    The Sun also says we're looking at Eibar's CM Joan Jordan.

    Apparently Joan is a boy's name in parts of Spain and France. Who knew...

    Think Joan Miró (painter from Barcelona). Joan is the Catalan version of Juan, although I'm fairly certain that you were already aware of that ;)

    Lobotka is a defensive midfielder I think

    Would prefer if we targeted a box to box type player who can grab some goals

    The Maxi Gomez/Lobotka deal would allegedly cost £53.5m, a bit more than our supposed £30m budget even including money earned from sales. Maybe we're throwing in Hernandez as part-ex but even that wouldn't make up the difference.

    The Guardian claims that Kostas Fortounis would prefer to extend his contract at Olympiakos rather than move to the Premier League. He was an Olympiakos youth player, released in 2008, played for other Greek sides for three seasons, spent three seasons with Kaiserslautern then returned to Olympiakos in 2014.

    Maybe he gets homesick, let's not go down that road again.

    Why is anybody believing we only have £30M to spend?
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    I thought with sales they reckon we will have about £70m to spend in total .
  • alderzalderz
    Nobody knows how much we have to spend, and whatever we do spend doesn’t mean it was our budget anyway (I’m guessing Spurs had a bigger budget than nothing last year)

    It seems to be the amount being bandied around by plenty of sources although with £10.5m from Perez and Fernandes its now supposedly around £40m.

    Meanwhile the Guardian says a "source" claims Oxford's move to Ausburg is 50/50 but Pellegrini is willing to listen to offers for Ogbonna, Hernandez and Obiang.

    Obiang allegedly wants to go back to Italy for "family reasons". Another one?!?!?

    'they' are all passing on the same rumours between themselves. And then because the same info is everywhere, it has developed a legitimacy through ubiquity.

    The transfer window equivalent of money laundering. Rumour washing?

    Thinking about it, maybe 'rumour muddying' is a better term :hmm:

    ...or maybe the club are astute enough not to tell anyone their budget, target-positions or walk away positions before going into negotiations, and we should stop giving weight to stories that say "West Ham will not spend more than Xm this summer, and are willing to pay as much as Ym for [insert player name here]."

    Liverpool Echo reports that we have withdrawn from Gomes bid according to reports. Surely saying according to reports means you can say anything and blame someone anonymous.

    McH,

    We've probably been told that he wants to go to Everton, well that is what is all over the media.

    I never believed the £30m to begin with, I just find it amusing that the so called ITKs like C&H etc. make these claims and some people think its gospel.

    ASLEF,

    Are you trying to tell me they don't have the inside track on all that goes on at WHUFC! :nonono:
