West Ham Online

Well seems like with all these international breaks, and us languishing, the rumours of ins and outs are rife.

Chuck anything 'worthy' of discussion on this thread...

--------------

Incomings:

Pablo Felipe - €21m + €3m (Gil Vicente) | Forward
Valentin 'Taty' Castellanos - €26m + €4m (Lazio) | Forward
Adama Traore - £2m + £1m if stay up (Fulham) | Forward
Axel Disasi - Loan (Chelsea) | Centre Back
Keiber Lamadrid - £150k + £1m option | Attacking Mid

Outgoings:

Nicolas Füllkrug - 6 months loan (AC Milan)
Luis Guilherme - £17m + Sell On % (Sporting Lisbon)
George Earthy - 6 months loan (Bristol City)
Callum Marshall - 6 months loan (Bochum)
Andy Irving - 1.5m (Sparta Prague)
Guido Rodriguez - Undisclosed (Valencia)
Igor Julio - Loan Cancelled (Brighton)
James Ward Prowse - 6 months loan (Burnley)
Lucas Paqueta - £36.5m + Buy Back Clause (Flamengo)

100% he becomes a player and we will all be wondering why we were never able to get a thing out of him. 

I think Guilherme may turn out to be a decent player but as a club we aren’t and haven’t been in a position to pay £25m for someone ‘for the future’
Are we smart enough to have a buy back or sell on if he is going ?
Need to use the funds for someone who can play NOW 

Traore used to scare me when we played Wolves but I have come to realise he's all fur coat and no knickers. 

Prove me wrong, Adama.

Yup. He HAS to be accounted for in a way Summerville or Paqueta just don’t when out on the wing. And you have to put a strong or pacy player on him which creates opportunities elsewhere on the pitch. Aside from Bowen we don’t have a single player like that. Even if he just runs around and stretches play without the ball it’ll have a positive effect for us. 

As Goose says probably a couple of years too late but I would have got Traore in as Antonio's understudy a few years back.  Not a natural forward but neither was Antonio, but he is/was a battering ram who through the middle could have done a similar job.

Nothing official from the club anywhere? 
Just YouTubers?

Mendes seems to be working some magic.

Pablo (no not that one) having a medical, could be in in time for Wolves

Suits everyone 
Fulham get a couple of million plus losing his wages
Traore gets to play more and is a free agent at the end of the season
Hopefully (HOPEFULLY) we get someone to play on the break who has something to prove

Traore is a player I’ve wanted us to sign for ages. Might be a year or two too late but I love the pace & directness he brings.

Will be nice to see one of players not be constantly out muscled by the opposition.

Theyve gone away from that with the Chinese owners

The Strand Larsen one was giving me kittens as well bang out of form and already pre-programmed with a relegation mentality. He needs to build his career back up slowly after their impending relegation. Too risky to spend that amount when we might soon be joining Wolves ourselves.

These cunts signed yet?

Got to say im hugely underwhelmed by the traore signing.  Someone ive not massively rated, and cant even get in fulham's team.

Hope im Wrong

I know fuck all the other one but im glad were not getting rinsed by wolves again and giving them cash to spend 

Traore completed. Deal to end of season. Being reported by Whetstone.

If there is any possibility of Ruben Neves from Saudi I’d offer Paqueta as a swap
 

We should be looking to offload Paqueta this month but with a manager who rates the liability to be our best player, it doesn't look like that will happen.

We should agree the £40m for Strand Larsen on Friday night
And then withdraw it at 5pm on Saturday after he is left out
After Matt Jarvis & Kilman it’s not as if we will ever consider buying a Wolves player in the future

So they're not intent on a relegation fire sale?

Where's Rossal?

Can't fault the speed of a new signing, so for once the Club has acted prompt and seemingly laying down significant dough for a 21yo if the £20M is to be believed I think I read somewhere. The kind of young fit Striker signing we should have made instead of Fullkunt having failed with Duran. Question marks will have to remain about whether Pablo can produce his form in the Prem but let's see. 

Pablo medical today.
