Ever since they got the reputation as the pinnacle of transfer reporting, they really have built into the hype & really bigged themselves up. The ‘Jim White’ lovefest is when it all started & now they really do believe their own hype. Deadline day is when it all comes to the boil, Jim White sits there with phone ringing from various agents & read out the texts he receives from people.
The other day they reported Manchester United interested in Diop & prepared to pay £45m plus a player. They say West Ham will not entertain any offers below £60m & that they were told he is not for sale.
Then they report that West Ham will sell for
£60m, which is basically what they said before but now with the more concrete ‘West Ham will see at that price, we understand’.
Independent report that we are only going to entertain a sale if we get Martial as part of the deal. Manchester United have rejected that & so we have said ‘no deal’.
Think there isn't much between him and Anderson. Think Martial is the greater goal threat but Anderson is a slightly better playmaker
Both a bit too inconsistent
Either way there is no way United would include him in a deal + money
Looks like Rice is not in their radar at the moment.
We have basically asked for one of their few talented players, plus money, for our CB. We probably knew they would say no, but it’s just our way of saying what it will take to get him & how much we value him.
I know it is rumour, but is Ole simply going on a FIFA19 style spending spree? Search a load of players between 20-22 & make bids for them all?
Ole for me is really unlikely to see out the season.
I've started the car, I'll drive him there myself.
As I said, 23/24 he’ll be a top four player. But not yet. He needs another year or two at us, playing every week. He is not ready for a starting role at a club like Manchester United (albeit they aren’t as good as they used to be) &, despite the rumours, I imagine Manchester United know that.
I also thought Rice was excellent in his debut and the 2nd half against Portugal.
Tackle success rate of 58%.
That's not a lot, is it.
Though where Gomez is concerned, I'm believing absolutely nothing until he actually signs for his next club. This smacks of the Anderson saga from last season where there was rumour and counter-rumour for literally months. I don't have the energy for that drama this year.
