"Striker... not a priority for West Ham"

Is he drunk?

Popped in, now popping out again

We must have invested some of the 55 million budget into state of the art hamstrings for the big man

I have no idea who this fella is or why he would know anything.

To answer my own question, unverified account with 400 followers who "used to work at the Mail" and now "works closely with Sky".

...Sounds like he's really well connected.

I don't really know who most of these journalists are tbh.

His bio says:

Used to work at The Daily Mail.
Currently work closely with Sky.
London based journalist.

Can't fail to bring in a striker if we pretend we didn't want one anyway.

I’d imagine almost everyone on this thread could post an update that is less b*llocks than this tweet

He has a pinned tweet with all the "transfer deals he has got correct ". Trying to create a career out of nothing.

Not so sure about that.

or maybe moyes is just being shafted by sulli - as he does with every manager

moyes is pragmatic, he isn't going to wait to the last couple of weeks to make all his signings, not with a squad like this in a covid world, 1 or 2 - sure, you can see how he might be willing to chance that if he has a number of possible targets... but no all his business, i doubt this window is going as planned which seems to be what you are hinting at

hope you are right - but i doubt it

I'm not hinting at anything, I'm saying wait and see because Moyes DOES SEEM to have a preference for leaving it late.

Coufal, Lingard, Dawson, Bowen, Benrahma (twice), Soucek...all signed in the last few days (or day) of the window...I can only find Randolph that he signed with about 10 days of the window to go...

That's a clear pattern, maybe it's how he likes it, maybe it's how it is working with Sullivan...I don't know.. But choosing to ignore what is a clear pattern in Moyes' transfer dealings is just plain silly.

Arsenal bid £60m+ for Maddison.

All getting a bit reminiscent of Man U spending £130m on Wan Bissaka and Herman Munster

[ohsnap]

striker not a priority - only at West Ham where we have 0 strikers (yes yes I know Antonio) could someone come out and say that and I honestly believe it

[RockyMtnHammer]

He has a pinned tweet with all the "transfer deals he has got correct ". Trying to create a career out of nothing.

And the very first one is Bowen to Liverpool that hasn't actually been verified, let alone happened.

Yikes.
