The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Cheers gents

Ex Hammer related; I’m currently in the rather sunny saaaahf of France with the other half - got to watch Marseille’s prodigal son throw a paddy against Napoli a couple of days ago

He’s put on some proper girth since coming back here

Is Cardoso any good? He's not one I know anything about

UtJ has been signed up by The Athletic. Kumb is going behind a paywall for access.

Does anybody have the inside track on Ajeti, in terms of a rough scouting report? His YouTube videos suggest to me he's much more of a Hernandez-like poacher than he is a Haller-like goals and assists type of forward. Might not be the right fit for us based on that rough review?

Seems to have a good header in his locker, though.

[e17]

Nah, far worse than that.. I've come up for a song for Fornals now! :raver:

Ominous

Cardosa will probably be pretty much a straight swap for Oxford I guess (salary and fee wise).

Decent business, considering that Pellegrini didn't want Oxford anywhere near the first team.

Rooney to Derby (in January) is official.

[LeonRivers]

Oh Jesus....

It sounds like some big upheaval where avatars are moved back to the left hand side from the rather disliked right hand side.

I’m sure it will be the most successful avatar migration in history.

Lock up your grannies! :lol:

I have never actually seen him play but the impression I get from what I've read is that he is physical and runs the channels well rather than just being a poacher. Isn't he about 6 foot 2 as well?

Looks like he's also going to be wearing the no.32 for them because of their sponsor. Ugh.

Goncalo Cardoso has officially completed £2.75m move to West Ham from Boavista. He has already posed for pictures in the home shirt, so expect full club announcement soon. COYI!

[OohAahButler]

Peaches is VERY excited about him. I’m not sure the rest of us have much knowledge of the lad, but his pedigree looks good.

The change is, we've clubbed together and spent on a net, so the next person who moans about net spend being mentioned, is caught in it and despatched back into the sea

Be interesting to see if Albian Ajeti is involved for Basel in Wednesday’s 7th August
Champions League Qualifying third round match between FC Basel v LASK.

Cheers OAB... Very decent of you. Sounds like a good prospect in which case
Bit of a surprise if our last business is a centre half? Whatever Pell says though I guess

[Crossd_Hammrs]

2.75m!?

That's not much is it. And this lad is supposed to be staking a claim for first choice centreback?

It all sounds a bit fishy

Apparently so.

Which makes it a bargain, if he can force his way into contention.

It gets my seal of approval
