Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
Vlad has another year on his contract no matter what doesn’t he? If he doesn’t accept a new offer, it doesn’t mean we can’t go into another season with him. He can stay. I imagine we’ll sign another RB. I am convinced we’ll go in for Wan-Bissaka as I was we would for Ward-Prowse last summer. Ticks l...

Re: Newcastle Utd v West Ham Utd - Match Thread
Go with the exact same tactics that worked a treat for Forest when they won there. And remember, this is the same Forest who has one of the worst away records in the league. Pending on there being no injuries I suspect it’ll be the same starting 10 of the 11 who played against Villa. The only questi...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I initially wanted a LAM. But, now I’ve seen how well Kudus has performed there, as well as any other position he’s pretty much played in across the attack, I’m more inclined to say we should try and find another Kudus/Lingard, who can play anywhere across the front 3, let alone at LAM. If we’re tal...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
There’s at least 2 ways to look at this potential Ioannidis signing. It’s a classic ‘value for money’ Sullivan signing, rather than going for the ‘smart’, ‘sensible’, option, whether that’s Toney, Solanke, Awoniyi, etc. Or, it’s simply a hidden gem Tim or a member of the recruitment team have discov...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
The only ‘Sky 6’ club I can see possibly coming in for Toney is the Gooners and even then I don’t think he’s a guaranteed starter, so it all comes down to whether he’d be content with that. Would he start at the Spuds? Does Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City need him? Villa, he won’t start ahead of Wat...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
Cancelo is 29 years old. No thanks. Knowing the fact that both Vlad and Emerson will be 32 and 30 respectively by the end of the first month in the new season, it’s the last area of the squad we could do with more ageing players. The oldest I want any incoming fullback to be is 27. 28 at a push if t...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I can absolutely understand keeping Oggy as a 4th or even 5th choice for his character and professionalism, let alone his reliability. The fact he’s supposedly willing to even take a wage reduction to stay sums up what a good egg he is, when there are many ageing players out there who’d want one las...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I see Ex on his podcast (apparently) suggested Oggy will be offered a new one year contract, on reduced wages.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
There seems to be a lot of supposition that Man City will trigger Paqueta's €100m release clause. I'm unconvinced. I suspect there is better value out there. This is the same Man City who spunked £100m on Jack Grealish, £53m on Matheus Nunes and £45m on our friend Kalvin, so wouldn’t rule it out th...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
Should Paqueta leave and we want to bring in a CAM to keep Kudus on the left, isn’t Daichi Kamada out of contract at Lazio? His spell at Lazio hasn’t gone well, but if you can recapture his form from his Eintracht Frankfurt days….. He is just one year older and plays in the same sort of positions. W...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
It may be best to prioritise which positions we’ll look to fill with a homegrown player first, as then there won’t be pressure later on in the window to sign some. Plus, knowing the fact we spend big money on 2-3 players every summer window, we need to consider what positions we want to save the big...

Re: Where will we finish?
9th-10th. The draws against Sheffield Utd and Burnley will come back to haunt us. Plus, the Europa League is bound to have an effect. I wonder what the lowest ever points total is for 7th in the history of the Premier League? There’s so many unconvincing teams below Man Utd there’s a very good chanc...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)
Personally, I don’t think the issue were so much who Moyes brought on from the bench, as I understood the logic with all of them. Even Johnson’s introduction. If anything it was more who he didn’t bring on. In my opinion Ings should’ve come on for the CAM role. I think his intelligence with the ball...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
I don’t think a need for a striker has ever been in question per say. The question was only really whether it’s one that needs to waltz straight into the starting 11, or whether it’s one who needs to be more of a squad player, while Bowen remained as the first choice CF. A plan B if you will. Should...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)
As well as he played on Thursday I thought Kudus had an absolute stinker in the 2nd half today. It felt like everything he touched turned to sh*t. Was surprised and disappointed Moyes didn’t bring on Ings for Paqueta. To be fair, Ward-Prowse very nearly won us the game with his freekick that was whi...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
Should we decide to stick with Bowen and Kudus out wide and we’re targeting a 1st choice CF for Antonio’s long term replacement, then no messing about this summer please. I don’t want to see any razzle-dazzle punts from abroad, or forwards that don’t suit how we want to play. Just go out there and g...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
If anything will cost us an even better season domestically it’s our results against the teams at the bottom. Our results against teams from 12th to 20th: - Burnley home and away: 4 points. - Sheffield Utd home and away: 4 points. - Nottingham Forest home and away: 3 points. - Everton home and away:...
