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)

I think Traore would be decent for us. Gives an option to Summerville and Bowen on either side. Gives you an out ball when you are lining up on your own 18 yard box.

Yes his final ball isn't great, but i reckon he will thrive under Nuno

Wont say no to Traore. Ofcourse we need better but who better is going to come here in our position? 

Cant be anymore wasteful in the final third than Summerville is.

There's no logical reason to sell Earthy unless we are that unbelievably skint that we have to, and he's the only player anyone wants.

Sargeant and Traore? 

100% down if those two are the ideas to add to the squad. 

Sargeant scored 2 in 26 last time he was in the Prem,  Hardly prolific.

Josh Sargeant? Hmmm, beggars and all that but his recent stats not great but do we have to factor in that Norwich are a struggling team?  Would a good striker still manage to get goals or does he miss a lot? Sounds like he aint that quick or great in the air?  Now Ashton werent quick and others down the years ( Kane ) but compensated with aerial ability. Oh and he’s a ginge

Or maybe the Braintrust feel’s. Sell while you can. Because we going to get fleeced in the Summer.? 

Keep Earthy....if we get relegated players like him will be valuable to our squad.

Hammers Chat are extrapolating in something Ex said and adding 9 anyway...more likely is he gets a loan second half of season.

Not sure any fee we’d get for Earthy would vary between January & the summer if we were relegated 
Should have been on the bench Sunday ahead of Rodriquez 
So should Doris the tea lady but that’s another matter

I thought we were signing Neymar

PRIMED FOR THE DROP.

At a time when many have rightly complained of a lack of leaders and players taking responsibility in the dressing room as well. Warned this would happen and yet we continue to shoot ourselves needlessly in the foot. Our Transfer policies are 1 of the worst around be it incomings or outgoings.

COYI.

Hayden Hackney at Boro and Jack Rudoni at Coventry are the two best players in the Championship. Both midfielders the first one is box to box and the second is more attacking.

Hackney is from Redcar and Rudoni from Carshalton - he started out at Wimbledon. It's a shame that we'll probably miss out on them due to far more urgent priorities.

We need a striker though...two strikers even - one a left sided forward that cuts in at the very least.

 

Paper talk probably bollocks about Conor Gallagher
If Atletico Madrid wanted to do a swap for Paqueta he’d be more use in a relegation scrap

Is Sargent premier league standard?
Joined Norwich when they were plummeting out of the league & scored 2 in 26 in a terrible team
Has played 3 and a bit Championship seasons since scoring around 50 league goals in 113 league games

The only strikers who have done anything in recent years for us … Ashton , Antonio plus Bowen if you want to call him a striker .. have come from the Championship 
The massive failures have been from European leagues. Zaza, Scamacca, Haller, Fullkrug etc

Being linked with the lad from Coventry as well (Haji Wright).  Only seen brief highlights, but looks like someone that would be worth having....although strikers from the Championship rarely make good transitions to the Prem it feels.
