Byram Bid Accepted

[LinekersLegs]

The only actual info we have - ie from the horses mouth - is we offered more cash than whu to Leeds. There is no conclusive info that it was game time that swung it. I'm sure the club would like us to believe it was game time but it seems they are trying to distance themselves from the whole thing Entirely now which is pretty tough when the Leeds chairman says we were the highest bidders!

Which is why I said to date lol

If were honest its dopey Everton messing about once again. Just offer the money n get him. Same old but different transfer window

We offered more money to Leeds, but maybe we weren't willing to pay him the wages he was asking? also, we couldn't offer him first team football, because once Coleman was back, Byram was sitting on the bench.

Switch on the Internet after a hard days work and see Byram has rejected is for West Ham, that's 3 players that have rejected us for them now. That's rather embarrassing, dress it up whatever way you like and say he didn't want to be an understudy but still embarrassing them getting one over us AGAIN.

Who the three? And don't say payet as we didn't even bod for him

Went onto Twitter for some masochistic reason

I see it that there are many factors drawing him to West Ham, as opposed to putting him off joining us.

But it's disheartening to be gazumped by West Ham. For the 2nd or 3rd time of late, too. Embarrassing even. Given that 18 months ago it would have been a laughable notion.

Are you related to @Kev The Rat by any chance ?

tits generally come in pairs...

This should be locked. Going round and round

Oviedo doesn't though. Question is whether he can stay fit...

He's looking good for Sunday though by all accounts, while apparently Coleman and McCarthy also have a chance.

I reckon this is at the heart of it. His dream move to Everton fell through when we heard Coleman/Oviedo are both nearing fitness/fit and so we backed off...but kept a media interest so Leeds could negotiate from a position of strength with West Ham.

keeps Leeds sweet for another time if they have another coming through we want.

If we offered more money to Leeds I'm fairly sure we wouldnt have offered him less wages than whu

Its not over till the fat lady sings - whats her name at west ham again

This really got me this. And theres no hiding from this humiliation. Not holding my breath on any transfer action after this.

Do you really feel humiliated? The lad is from the South where his family are, he will probably get more wages and he hasn't got a Coleman to oust out. Looks like we tried but we move on and try to get other players.

Bigger and brighter stars have left Leeds and bombed, Kewel, Robinson, Snodgrass, Howsen etc.mhe will end up in the abyss that will be WHU when they try to attract every other Jonny Foriegner in a couple of seasons.

The one upset in all this is that I can't stand Sullivan and Gold after what they said about us at Brum.

 

[DanEFC92]

Bit of a concern that Stoke and West Ham are nabbing our transfer targets.

 

[davek]

This for sure. Second striker, in my opinion, is our #1 priority. I have nightmares thinking about even one game off for Rom let alone a few.

Doesn't bear thinking about. Thank God we only faced Dagenham when he limped off a couple of weeks back.
