Transfer Window Thread

[Dutch Toffee]

Don't be pathetic. London or Liverpool? Not a hard decision...

100% hand on heart, Liverpool for me.

The city that is.

London although very vibrant, Liverpool is like home away from home. I absolutely adore the city of Liverpool.

I want more spanish blood into our squad

Actually surprised Bobby hasn't sign that many Spanish players. Was expecting much more.

Yes but he only signs players from the global market to push Everton towards the Champions League, i.e. those who helped him relegate Wigan from the Premier League.

I see a load of people making excuses for why players have picked West Ham over us.

Truth is, these players are in their twenties foreign and will have a limited knowledge of the premiership and probably only know the so called top four.

I seriously doubt they check the title history of said club and see if they were winning trophies in the 19th century. All they care about is the money.

I can honestly say hand on heart I have no idea who finished 5th or 6th in La Liga, Serie A etc in recent years.

As for people talking about our history and West Hams, it's all a bit like the kopites talking about Chelsea. Funny thing is, I bet the majority of people on here talking about West Ham's lack of history have actually seen us win a trophy with their own eyes.

History and legacy is great, but I'm all about today and jealous of the lids in the 80's who witnessed great things. All I've got is the 95 cup final as a 16 year old kid.

@Mikey_Fitzgerald will love this....

He genuinely is though. Once he gets his move to the EPL and tears it up with someone like Swansea or Southampton, a lot of people on here will end up looking very foolish. Ogbonna is rank, you can quote me on that

 

[EvertonFury19]

being gentlemen in pretending to be interested to up west ham's interest?

oh you're in the know mate?

 

[Professor Toffee]

This goalkeeper talk is so boring, can we talk playmakers again please...

Paul Gerrard could do a mean long ball

7m is unbelievablely low, surely bs.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Surely the most obvious reason for Ogbonna going to West Ham (i have no idea what their wages are like compared to ours) is that he'll be first choice there week in, week out?

I suggested that on a West Ham blog... they didn't take it well.

Seems fairly self explanatory though

Folks in Twitter say there is a (upcoming) piece in the Times about us being one of a number of clubs chasing fenerbace's Mehmet Topal. Can't find a link though.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Maybe the lad chose West Ham because after speaking to us (that's if we got that far) and speaking to them, he was more impressed with what they had to say.

Can't see that being true. One position we absolutely don't need anyone in is defensive midfield.

Defensive midfielder. Surely not...

Fenerbahce have received a £5million offer from a mystery London club for Mehmet Topal with Arsenal touted as the favourites.

The Turkish giants are hoping to keep hold of their defensive midfielder but face a struggle.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also believed to hold an interest in the defender.

And one of those clubs has made an offer for the 29-year-old, according to Turkish Eurosport.

Arsenal are thought to be keen on adding another defensive midfielder to their squad to provide competition for Francis Coquelin.
