Is this due to disillusionment with working conditions at West Ham or just because he sensed an opportunity to climb the ladder?

DusseldorfHammer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:19 pm Some comments he made during the interview (more of a video call with some of us German journos) were pretty interesting. Including those how he came to the club.

Might post them later today.

Please do... Would be a fascinating insight

But I reckon Villa would find a way if they get CL.....

Aren't Villa on a PSR precipice?

ManYoo and Saudi-on-Tyne's game-in-hand is against each other so they can't both get the three points. If we want to finish 7th and have another crack at the Europa League, I reckon we want ManYoo to win that...

Been thinking about the Salah conundrum. He's not been at his best since returning from injury, is 32 this summer and, with Klopp leaving and a new manager due in, I wonder whether rinsing the Saudis for, say, £150mn and adding that to the pot for the new manager to bring in his players might be in ...

Sure this has been done before, but I wanted to look at the profit made from transfers this season as it will have a significant bearing on this summer's activity, I'd have thought. Data from footballtransfer.com: Summer sold: Rice £100mn, Scamacca £22.5mn, Vlasic £11.5mn: TOTAL £135mn Summer bought...

Thought I read that we'd already extended him for another season? Anyone else see that or am I dreaming?

Don't forget we still need to replace Fornals and Benrahma...

Long post alert 🚨 My mind has recently been trying to make sense of the mess that is our squad. Here's where I've ended up... We've currently got only 21 registered senior players in the squad :shocker: . Let's look at that in more detail: Loans first... Assume we don't turn Phillips' loan into a pe...

Hes likely going to Palace ( Saints , Everton, Leicester and Southampton also keen latter 2 on promotion). palace are offering a big sign on fee and wages and we dont want value him at what he wants.

According to the league the final date the appeals can be dealt with for the pending cases on Forest and Everton is May 24th. Which is in the week prior to the final day of the season. I guess they would like to get things sorted before that. That's the week after the final round of matches on Sund...

Motion to pause this thread until a less depressing time.

Seconded

Same problem that Palace have - can you get the manager you really want to come in at this stage?

Think ManYoo may sail away into the distance making it a scrap between us, Brighton and Saudi-on-Tyne for these three places.

Agree with the poster who reckons Chelsea might just go pop over the coming months. It feels like the tension's coming to the boil there...

I just don't understand the logic of waiting until the last day. Gives Norwich absolutely no time to find a replacement. Unless, of course, talks have been ongoing for a while and here I am giving myself hope again. Thing is, had we acted sooner, we could have offered Marshall as a makeweight in th...

Can anyone confirm whether Kudus has been training this week?

If we think a ban is incoming it may be prudent to let him go for less than his release clause. If we have any inside knowledge that a ban is likely we would have to declare that to any buying club or we'd end up being sued for a fortune. Newcastle are still looking into suing AC Milan for this re:...

I know we’re spoiled for strikers but surely if Marshall is away on loan we’re gonna get one in ? I would have thought the opposite! If (and it's a big if) we bring in two of Osman, Nusa, Clarke and Jota then we'd have Kudus, Bowen, Paqueta, Cornet, Antonio, plus two to fill the three forward roles...

I'm planning to play a differentials-only team next season by only selecting / transfering-in players with less than 10% ownership. Should be more fun...
