Transfer Window Jan 2025

Robert Sanchez. Name resembles Roberto and Carlos Sanchez. Two of the worst players to have ever worn our shirt in the modern era.

No.

How is Butland doing up at Rangers ? I remember last season people were saying he was doing really well however, I don’t watch many of their games.

Average, few clangers this season. Probably found his level.

To be fair to him, I'm kind of with him this time!

You can make a strong case for replacing nearly any position in the starting XI and will come down as much who we can sell as who we can buy I suspect.

And that is starting spots before even getting into us having the depth of a puddle in certain positions and surplus in others.

It is like a Football Manager save shared with a brother who hates you.

Sanchez at Chelsea? I know 3 Chelsea fans - all think he’s poor. Andy Jacobs (ST holder) on TS, says the same.

Comedy gold ! Never change HM

Robert Sanchez is joint 1. in errors leading to goals this season, Mavropanos isn't even on the list

Probably not Sanchez however I do suspect that we will see at least one arrival from Chelsea this summer. I’ve no doubt that although he had numerous players foisted on him, there will have been a couple he wanted that haven’t broken through, or there’ll be a couple in the reserves that he likes the look of.

Ridiculous isn't it. If we had that much turn over in playing staff every single window we would be even more of a shambles

There are very good players in our squad and some that would make a solid spine with others added

Just add a proper box to box midfielder and a striker on top of what we have and suddenly it doesnt seem so bad

Providing all the loans return

I'd love to see the other nine starters and how you are lining them up...

No.

100% agree with this logic.

[PaoloD]

Forget about Kelleher. He is going to a) expensive and b) have better options than us to consider.

He is CL level, and we are not even in Europe - let's get real.

We are far more likely to end up with Sanchez, who Chelsea will no doubt want rid of and Potter would presumably take having worked with him before.

Reality show idea - H11 gets to manage west ham but must have 10 ins and 10 outs every transfer window (operating under our usual budget). The players also have to wear kits with H11 spellings of their names.

If watching West Ham now has you jaded, get ready to be more invested in the team than ever before

Simple tbh depending how we want to line up we can line up a solid team

--------------------areola
--------todibo killman aguard
AWB --alvarez --new player -- scarles
--------bowen new player -- Summerville

Now that's without the likes of paquata, kudus , JWP, soucek , Emerson , fulkerg

My 2 players would be if we sign the loan players (soler and Ferguson) and then aguard , Potts etc return

So in that line up I'd put Ferguson at first then you just need a high energy box to box midfielder and suddenly we transform

It's a shame we can't get everyone fit now because we could have tried paquata in there but we won't have Summerville back in time

In a 433 I'd play the following

--------------------areola
AWB -----todibo killman scarles
-------paquata Alvarez new player
Bowen ----- new / Ferguson --- Summerville

Our first team isn't at all awful it's the depth

But we need that midfield player to be the link

Not forgetting that Potts is returning and plays that kind of game.. could provide depth cover

We don't need complete overhaul every single summer

If a player comes up that suits and would improve us by all means but don't sign for the sake.

[Cuenca 'ammer]

I would really like to see where we are/were with the players that GP has here, provided all of them are fit.

Summerville
Todibo
Fullkrug

maybe he CAN get them to gel and be better players. hopefully he'll get some time with them, before the end of the season comes around and he's stuck with only the pre-season to judge who he can count on next season.

he's more than likely got an idea.

depends on the budget of course. is he going to get good money, or decent money and given who he can sell to generate more funds. then it becomes who would be value for money for someone to buy ?

e.g. he might "want" to keep Alvarez/Soucek but wither or both would generate money to top up what he is "given" so he has to dispense with players who he would want to keep. and we can play that "game" with everyone else in the squad. they'll be untouchables of course, few of them I would reckon, Summerville and Bowen. Paqueta, depending on his court case and whether again, there would be someone to give us 40M for him again to add to the transfer pot.

we can all say who we'd keep or happily dispatch, but no point in flogging off players who won't give us any income if the budget is say 50M (a figure plucked out of the air) or he can keep whoever he wants if the money pot is 150M (ha ha ha).

I would honestly like it, and have stated it, that we're well clear of the relegation "dog fight" and we were able to give more starting minutes to Scarles, give Orford some time, maybe see if one of the other kids would be fine in a position of need and give Guilherme enough time to see whether he can fulfill his "potential."

otherwise, we're stuck with a few preseason games, then the transfer window closes and we're stuck with positions of need again, or caught trying to sign someone who we will end up paying over the odds to get, with the selling club knowing there isn't enough time left to haggle....

I cant be the only one who thinks Kelleher isnt that good?

Summerville and fulkerg looked excellent in the first half against villa until injury struck

Unfortunately todibo hasn't stayed fit yet because he is an excellent defender

It is also without goals, assists or the ability to defend in this league (IMO)...

That striker and box to box better be world class.

Shot stopper, but the art of goalkeeping, is so.much more than that. I've grown tired of saying this, in judging a goalkeeper, assess him on the shots he doesn't need to save, not the ones he does. To make it easier, Gianluigi Buffon, made the goal look tiny, through, brilliant positioning, organisation of defence and it was no coincidence, the number of strikes that went straight at him. Every football league club has an adequate shot stopper, which is the easiest part of being a goalkèeper
