Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Methuselah]

Enough about Bolasie; what do you think about Wilshire?

Whenever I see the name Wilshire I have this mental image of a footballer in Arsenal kit, lying on the floor with his arm straight up in the air calling for an ambulance with life saving equipment.

West Ham are rattling the top 6's cage...our carpetbagger owner needs to flash the cash tout de suite.

 

[navidson]

£15,600,000 in basic wages over three years.

Plus a signing on fee.

They've basically paid £17/18m for him.

And like I said, I wouldn't have been against us getting him, but I'm not gutted we haven't got him. He isn't going to turn them into top 6 contenders. They have even more work to do on that front than we do (and we have a heck of a lot of work to do).

We'll be paying Gylfi Siggurdson £31.2m in wages over his 5 year contract - Does that mean we paid £76m for him?

As I said in the Lookman thread, maybe he likes the place/the people/the club.

The Bundesliga definitely suits Lookman's style of play as well as it's more open even than the Premier League.

Sometimes it's good for young English players to have ambitions to play abroad. I just hope in this case he doesn't fulfil that

So many awful players to be punted...Leipzig have made a stack of cash buying/selling players and id hate the next one to be lookman.

Think he will end up class...

Upamecano from them + Lozano signed and it would soften the blow a little.

Yes, by the logic in the previous post.

In for Zaha.

 

[Boss Silva]

In for Zaha.

In for Zaha.

Would have but Palace would ask for a stupid fee.

If Lookman wants to go I do not blame him, so if we MUST sell him I prefer we do it outside of the league. If I am making the decision I would demand MUCH more from Leipzig though.

Lad doesn't strike me as a player who would force a move unless it's necessary. He obviously just wants to play.

You went on WhoScored didn’t you.

Yes.

Call me whatever you want but I believe a club should be transparent with their fans

Some people prefer business to be done behind closed doors fine but I prefer to be kept in the loop with what the club is trying to do

At the moment we have no idea what is going on what players have been targeted what negotiations have taken place or are taking place

Galatasaray made an official statement to their fans saying they were negotiating with us to sign onyekuru on loan

I wish our club would do something similar but they never will.

I think Marcel Brands should walk around with a Go-Pro attached to him for the entirety of the transfer window and it should be streamed on GrandOldTeam.com

Seeing West Ham becoming a glamour club has me absolutely fuuuuuming. And I imagine the mood at FF is something similar; I'm not surprised someone has taken to the bogs with a sledge hammer

"Winning the transfer window" means nothing. And saying they are winning this transfer window is a stretch.
