Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Ex and now Sam Inkersole running with a story about us targeting a young Portuguese CB who will challenge Diop and Balbuena for a first team spot. Any ideas anyone? Ruben Dias would be the obvious candidate given he’s been linked with the Premier League recently, but the article says teenage and he...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Being reported that Eintracht are desperate to keep Haller, and are willing to make him their highest earner. No idea what that would equate to, or if it’s all just agent talk, but we need to wrap this up on either Monday or Tuesday. If we don’t get Haller in, I have no faith that we will get a sim...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Ex is covering every base! It's true but not true and what you think is true isn't unless you have read it to be true in which case it is. I'd say unlike 99% of people he isn't jumping the gun because he hasn't heard anything other than the player has his doubts about coming here and would prefer a...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

If the only link to Zapata is via the Sun then forget about it. Atalanta have the right of redemption on him for €12m at any point, they haven't taken that up yet but surely will given the fact he's worth at least 4 times that now. This is the guy we thought we had signed under Allardyce then found ...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

The person on WestHamOnline, Mr Wendell, who called Fornals before the press did and pretty much stated this whole time that Maxi Gomez wasn’t happening, has stated that we have a “very decent” chance at getting Haller. Could be nothing in it, but he’s been right so far this summer. Proceed with ca...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

I haven’t heard us being linked to Koutris for months now which is strange because it looked quite likely that we would move for him at one point! Would be happy to sell Cresswell and go for Koutris. I’ve not heard of Kaldarim at all is he any good? I think Masuaku will be the first choice left bac...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Maybe it's just me but there seems to be a definitive pattern with these transfers. Everything DS is involved in via his pool of agents is leaked regularly via the media - i.e Haller (agent Willie McKay) - Gomez (agent Barbour) - Yarmolenko last year (agent Salthouse) - Diop (may have been McKay too...

L'Equipe reporting that the infamous Willie McKay is involved in the Haller deal and although he wants a Champions League club they claim the deal isn't dead.

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Higuain.......I just can’t see that being true. Strangely I think he’d be a disastrous signing for, he’d be on massive wages and lacking motivation with minimal resale value due to his age. I'd doubt we'd buy him, apparently we offered a loan with an option which becomes obligatory if he reaches ce...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Doesn't seem the 62,000 stadium, World class Manager, £100k per week plus and London and all that seems to have the pulling power it used to have.

We were signing better players under Redknapp in the 90's ffs. Worse ones too mind. :lol:

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

I'm actually warming to Weghorst as an option... 6 ft 6 inches tall, and good at holding the ball up. Also this snippet interests me from https://footballbh.net/2019/03/29/wout-weghorst-wolfsburg-bundesliga-tactical-analysis/ "Weghorst’s pressing is impressive and his work rate is nothing shor...

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Only at West Ham could your Board/Management Team have ambitions of a frontline consisting of Gomez/Arnautovic and Rondon and you end up with Antonio/Hernandez and Hugill - 4 weeks to sort it out tossers and the clock is ticking whilst your targets and their teams all tell you to **** off. :lol:

Re: The summer transfer window 2019 thread

If they want £40m for him then surely they will take £20m now and £10m in summer 2020 and 2021. Anyone would think they were trying to sell Pele in his pomp, this bloke wasn’t a regular starter in the Copa America. They need a reality check. They want Mina from Valencia and the other player on loan...

I'm not talking about the media as a whole, I'm stating one West Ham source get the majority of their information directly from an owner.

Even our most reliable ITK’s have become NITK’s since pellegrini came in and long may it continue.
Well it actually is in most cases from one source.
