May explain Kudus’ recent links to the Gooners. If true of course.

[BrumHammer]

Is anyone else jealous of Wolves?

Not outside Portugal, I imagine.

I would guess there is exactly 0 truth in this.

I know watching this club can be amazing and hilarious at time, but Tim ending up at Arsenal…that would probably be the best one ever

More chance of a flock of pigs flying past The Emirates Stadium imo.

Don’t say that - the price of Bacon is already high enough

You joke but they did hire Sven Mislintat not so long ago who was absolutely useless for them.

”Sven Mislintat is a German football scout and sporting director. He is nicknamed "Diamantenauge" (Diamond Eye) for his ability in spotting players.”

Sounds familiar doesn’t it, perhaps they have the same publicist

“Oh, do pay attention Bond! Goldfinger, Diamond Eye and the Pearl Diver are due to meet on a Brazilian island to discuss how they are going to distribute the loot they have extracted…”

Only had one eye on it but Osimhen seemed to do quite well last night ?

I truly believe this guy is as capable of our backwards trajectory in the last 18 months as Sullivan (although the full ire is on Sullivan still), and he is as disappointing as Lopetegui. Perhaps (likely) he has been hamstrung by Sullivan, but since his more public involvement with the dressing room - the club has been awful.

[DublinDave]

Before he came to West Ham he was known as Der
Perlentaucher

Since he's been here he's been Der Scheißschaufel.

[funky chicken]

Was he at the game yesterday? I’m not sure I’ve seen him out on the pitch like he usually is during the warm ups in recent weeks.

The problem is that our fails in the transfer window happen to coincide with the gaping holes in our squad.

If the brief is top 7 then Guido is not the answer in midfield. Meanwhile the striker dept is currently bottom 6 quality.

We needed two marquee signings in CM and CF and we didn’t get them.

[Westbourne Bill]

I’d try to unload Álvarez in Jan to plug one of the gaps, if not two.

Tim joins Rice at Arsenal? I guess he will ‘know him so well’.
