Re: ✍ Welcome, Jarrod Bowen

If Bowen keeps in form till the end of the season and hits that 20 milestone, Southgate will have to take him. Other than Saka, there is no other player who can do what Bowen does so effective on the right wing / forward position. Palmer, Gordon etc on that wing are square pegs in round holes. Don't...

Re: Summer 2023/24 Transfer Thread

You have to ask why so many players are open to leaving us and not many banging down the door to join, we just won a trophy, Europe 3 years in row, some of the best fans in the world but players want to leave. There is rather a serious problem with the management and / or ownership that players don’...

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v Wolverhampton Wanderers: match thread

Moyes won’t be playing Scamacca, Areola, Cornet or Emerson against Wolves Over the next couple weeks he will be working with Fornals, Cresswell, Dawson, Benni, his old guard on a game plan with the coaching stuff to beat Wolves. He may play Paqueta, but I reckon Dawson will come in for Kehrer. It’s ...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa v West Ham United: match thread

Hopefully Benni on the left, Scamacca up top, I would consider cornet on the right and drop Bowen, Bowen hasn’t offered anything in the prem so far. If moyes starts Fornals, Lanzini, Antonio and Bowen up top it will be hugely frustrating Who he plays in the full back positions will be interesting Us...

Re: Europa Conference League 22-23

I’m pleased it’s a tricky draw, we have the better squad than any and home matches shouldn’t be a problem but the way grounds of Anderlecht and FCSB grounds will be a good test for some of the players. We don’t want teams who will just roll over we need all the squad players to be challenged and tes...

Lovely finish.

Be even more amazing if he played in the premier league!

Very astute signing, young, fast, can use both feet, versatile and proven he can score in the prem. Also showed desire to join us. All for £17.5m

30% pay rise, 1.4m a year and one of the top earners at the club! Seems ok to me

Hope not, he’s got a 17.5m buyout clause

I agree. I would politely inform them right now that they can remove him from their future shopping list.

Re: January 2022 Transfer Window

I think York exposes a key point. Which proven but affordable striker is going to be prepared to join us as Antonio’s understudy or medium term replacement? Why would origi swap Liverpool bench for our bench? And if he did, why would he perform better for us than Liverpool (yesterday apart)? Simila...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021

I agree with S-H selling him for 40m+ and bringing in three quality players for that money would represent great business, especially if the other alternative is selling Rice. When you find 3 quality players for 40m in today's market, let me Moyes know. If you can then let me know the winning Euro ...

So, no need to panic.
I didn't say i would take a bid for 50m by the way. FWIW - i doubt i would for him.
Given our owners, track record in the transfer market (albeit Moyes not at the helm), that 50m wouldn't be invested in an upgrade of Bowen

Yes.. I'm not saying I want to shift him, but everyone has a price. Why is that so hard to understand? Because of the risks that arise when you do shift a player who has been successful so far. Who you replace that player is a different matter and if that works out etc. There's key players in a tea...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021

If we could shift Bowen for decent money, it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. I like him a lot, but he is quite a limited footballer, if we are being completely honest. You would shift a 24 year old, English Player, who can play across the front line, who chips with 10+ goals a year (Goals ...
