West Ham are surprisingly prepared to sell highly-rated attacker Marcus Browne this summer amid interest from a number of Championship and League One clubs. #whufc

If we were to sign a decent left back I would really start to get excited.

He'll be playing in the Premier League this year and all you braindead idiots who said he was cack are going to look mighty silly.

I still maintain he's the most gifted player to ever play for us.

I can see those two mixed and matched to suit and ease physical stress. Certainly not convinced that Yamo will stay fit for long periods at his age and recent injury history.

That said, very pleased with the way our squad is shaping up.
I saw him play in the Swedish league this spring, and he was absolutely awful in a league that is n’t even league one standard. There is no chance of him ever resurrecting his career. Sadly.

If/when haller signs, it may be worth sticking with cresswell ahead of masuaku. Haller is fantastic in the air and could actually take advantage of Cresswells balls into the penalty area.

You're right, the rest of us are sure gonna look silly when he's crowned PFA Player of the Season at the end of the year!

(Think he'll be a complete waste of space tbh. £20 to the Bobby Moore Fund if he scores 5 or more Prem goals this season)

He's worse than cack.

And you're the only one who looks silly.

If people have a difference of opinion to you and you can't refrain from calling them 'brain dead idiots', then perhaps this isn't the place for you.

The Hugill situation as told by C+H:

Jordan Hugill has turned down a move to Wigan. He was offered £18k p/w but is on £35k per week at West Ham. The Latics offered £4m with West Ham paying off Hugill with £2.5m of that but the deal collapsed after failing to agree personal terms.

We often criticize players for sitting on the bench and receiving a paycheck, but it's easy to forget that football is their livelihood. For many, they will never make as much money in a short time span as they will while in contract with a club.

Many have joked about Hugill, though I think it's largely been good natured. As West Ham fans, we're used to odd deals and we appreciate that none of this is Jordan's fault. He's been a good pro about it all and genuinely seems like he just wants to try hard wherever he is.

But why would he leave? Where is he going to make 35k a week? That's good money and a lot of Championship clubs can't afford it.

So go on my son. It's not your fault you signed for West Ham and now they don't fancy you. But take that pay packet and train and do your best. Don't take a 50% pay cut just because they want you gone.
