The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.

[HammerAl]

Is that the same Brownhill that hm11 has been banging on about for weeks?

FFS

The same Brownhill that peaches said was the best CM in the world the other week!

[YorksHammer]

Hammers chat saying that we could be interested in Tielemans if Arsenal don't want him. Haven't seen his name linked to WH anywhere really, so it's probably just speculation / a wish.

Wanted Tielemans before he went to Leicester.

We need a Belgian.

[IronZ-79]

I'd take Tielemans, surprised we've never been linked to be honest

I've mentioned his name a couple times. Has a year left on his contract so reckon £20-25m might do it in terms of offer.

Whether the player himself is interested is another thing altogether.

[norse]

He's a levels above the Brownhills, Gilmours out there for sure

[NedN]

We should be all over that deal. Why are we not hijacking it? Didnt we supposedly bid 50m for philip and rafina last season?

I’d guess we’re probably not hijacking it because 1. We never were actually serious about getting Raphinha or Phillips in January and def not at 50 mill plus, and 2. Because he is likely going to prefer it there than here unless we offered a salary which would decimate our wage structure.

Agree on the potential benefit of signing some current Chelsea forwards though. I’m not entirely sure they are getting significantly better forward players than the ones they have if they make these rumoured signings, especially if their current players could be utilized better or put into a better environment. I think Raphinha and Sterling are maybe an improvement on their current crop, but I’m not sure how much of one they would be.

[Doyley72]

I think that’s about right to be fair, I do think we need a player a level above him.

He may turn out to be class but if last year was evident, we need players who can make an instant impact.

So for about the same price, £15m, who do you go for? KLP, a young raw talent with bags of potential or a "steady eddie" in Brownhill who does a job, doesn't get injuried but probably isn't next level (decent squad player).

I know they are completely different players in different position but as we have a "budget" we can't buy both....can we?

[Reg Stretch]

Ok fine ill be quoting you at the end of the window.

What's happening with lingard. Are we getting the band back together then or no?

So you don’t know then ...sorry DON’T know then

[GALF]

Tielemans would be very very good business but I cannot see it happening. I thought he was looking to leave Leicester for UCL football?

If he’s going at a similar price to Bissouma that, to me, is every part as good of a deal as Bissouma is at that price. I’d imagine he’d be asking for considerably more £ in wages though.

[funky chicken]

Sources have now confirmed to 90min that manager David Moyes, who has praised Lingard publicly on a number of occasions, is continuing to push West Ham's hierarchy towards concluding a deal, and is hopeful of a positive outcome.

Were West Ham to complete a deal for Lingard, he would likely become one of the highest paid players at the club, earning in excess of £100,000-per-week.

Newcastle, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid have all shown an interest in Lingard previously, who could command wages in excess of £100,000-per-week, but it's unlikely that the 29-year-old will join any of those clubs at this stage.

In addition to targeting Lingard, West Ham are actively pursuing moves for Keane Lewis-Potter and Armando Broja, while there's also a desire to reinforce in central midfield after the retirement of Mark Noble and end of Alex Kral's unsuccessful loan spell.

He is quality, but also wants Champions League and big wages.

[e20too]

I agree though in reality having bought one already (hopefully) we may only be able to afford one other of that quality without outgoings if as we feel and Moyes appears to agree we need another three or four players thereafter. To meet that agenda we will have to go for at least 2 cheapies, hopefuls or loanees perhaps 3 with our likely budget so depends on how he manipulates the cash relative to need and applies it accordingly. Got to be at least one hopeful punt on a youngster surely even with Moyes conservatism…. or maybe not. You maybe right in presuming midfield won’t be an area we will take a risk in however we do need reliable depth.

[Romfordboy]

If Moyes true my wanted KLP I doubt Brentford would have beaten us

Tielmens looks like he is in the same wait pile as Hickey…

[NWhammer]

No one knows what the budget is. Danjuma is a level above KLP, they’re the sort of players we should be prioritising, ones who improve our first 11, I don’t think KLP improves us now.

We could, and should, sign both - for the roles they'd fill on the bench initially, or as first reserve, £15m is a good price and would deal with two of the signings in positions we are reported to want for another £30m total.

@David_Ornstein
EXCL: Chelsea close to agreeing fee north of £55m with Leeds for Raphinha but not done yet. #CFC now best placed with #LUFC & 25yo as long-term favourites Barcelona can’t afford it at present + Arsenal not currently at required price

Match the price West Ham. Get involved. If we were gonna spend close to that for WARD-Prowse then may as well try our luck with him.

[paulhs1]

He is quality, but also wants Champions League and big wages.

Leicester look to be on a bit of a decline so you can see why Tielemans might want a new challenge. He is the type of player that would probably thrive with a club just outside of the top 4, so Gooners, us and Spurs most suited probably.

If we can find a way to get wages at £100k or less than for his age and profile he would definately add value.

[Turns to Stone]

Lewis-Potter should be coming in as a replacement for Vlasic imo.

Then we need a spare central midfielder, but I'd like us to go after one with more quality than Brownhill personally. Having said that. Left-back is a greater priority and Brownhill would be a big step-up on Kral.

I'd rather Loftus-Cheek on loan to be honest.

[EastleighHammer16]

Match the price West Ham. Get involved. If we were gonna spend close to that for WARD-Prowse then may as well try our luck with him.

Well he's not coming to us over Chelsea or Arsenal and that would also be a complete waste of money when we need other positions in the team sorted.

[MB]

Sign them both Lewis-Potter can play the 40% of games Danjuma misses every season...

I do think the attack is the place we can take a risk or two and back a youngster. Further back we absolutely need first team quality from the get go

[Colours never run]

Well he's not coming to us over Chelsea or Arsenal and that would also be a complete waste of money when we need other positions in the team sorted.

He'd be a complete waste of money at £55m?

He'd be worth every penny and it still wouldn't break the bank for us. A creative tricky winger opposite to Bowen is what we need in any case, this one just so happens to be **** hot. And even if we didn't have a need for one, I'd still make room for exceptional talents. If you enjoyed Payet, you'd enjoy this fella too. What a forward line that would be.



Serious player.
