I did infer that it was made up bollocks.

So, we're open to selling Fernandes to one of the Manchester's according to latest reports.  Who comes up with this shit?

Which one, Salford?

Utter nonsense! If it was true Nick from C & B would be all over it considering he called it right about us signing Neymar and Redknapp being our new manager

Well you tell us, where did you hear it?

This would be double ridiculous given I'm pretty sure he played for Southampton early season so can't play for another Club.

No doubt the report is more "if relegated" and "then West Ham will have a firesale"....and where Fernandes is concerned, we probably will lose him.

We need to stay up.

The Venezuelan is awaiting medical. Nuno is going for counterattacking, outscoring the opposition

[El Scorchio]

Wonder if there's any takers for Ward Prowse? 

Fuck no. He'd have been out of here like a shot if that was the case, I am sure. No-one will offer him half of what he's on here and he's probably no chance of playing in the premier league for anyone again.

Even the likes of Wolves are selling some of their players to better clubs for decent money while we struggle to even give most of ours away. Shows how awful even compared to a side below us our recruitment has been.

[Beef&Tomato]

If we can get a centre half in, get shot of Paqueta and maybe get another winger in then I'll be happy with our window.

[El Scorchio]

Sullivan busy undoing his trousers and bending over for all comers right now if a penny over 45 million has been offered, in reality or fiction.

The story, from 'sportsboom' sounds like absolute unsubstantiated bollocks.

[Fortunes Hiding]

Alfs, where have you heard that????

Just listened to an interview with Vlad Coufal from this morning. Another indication of how stupid the club are came up that hadn’t really dawned on me until then. We stopped him going to Fulham for a fee only to let him go for free in the summer. When he wasn’t a starter anyway. Fucking retarded. What a short sighted shambles. Turning down free money. 

We weren’t safe from relegation last Jan.

Makes perfect sense to keep him just in case. The fee would only have been a couple of million max anyway.

Looking at four CBs apparently, Victor Lindelof, Tyrone Mings, Bobby Thomas and Axel Disasi?

Doubt we'd get Thomas, would take any of the other 3 on loan. all better than Kilman.  Mings or Lindelof will have an eye on the WC so might be better options

Sullivan yesterday told that nonce Sean Whetstone Guido going nowhere and staying till end of season 

Today Fabrizio reporting close to agreeing a loan to Valencia, full wages covered


 

It's fucking farcical. 

[Mad Ferret]

Oscar Bobb to Fulham.

We should be all over that.

Correct- and Sullivan trying to say in public 'The manager doesn't want Wilson but I do. I am right.' Sure, maybe you are on this occasion but for fuck's sake keep it in house you petty egomanic. As was also said on YT, being 'proven right' is clearly more important to him than West Ham being successful. Mental.

The process of hanging yet another manager out to dry has well and truly begun. Some of you might say fair enough in Nuno's case, but that's not the point. It's a bigger issue than Nuno. It happens EVERY TIME. We'll start to get stories of how this player or that player was offered to the manager and turned down, about how with Taty and Pablo it was all 'against his better judgement', the poor innocent old benevolent man being taken advantage of by everyone around him.

In the meantime where is this fucking centre back? Where is this PL ready winger (or two)?
He's wasting time badmouthing his staff and rearranging deckchairs on the titanic by pursuing a really, REALLY low priority player while it all burns down around him and trying to convince everyone that it's everyone else's fault but his own.

[Westham67]

We have some momentum and new players up front as an outlet, taking pressure off our defenders. Pablo does need to get up to speed, but Tatty looks the real deal. More wingers seem to be on their way 

 

[Sir Alf]

Our transfer dealings are evidence of why Sullivan has to go.  Just got Lamadrid in for the future on a 6 month loan !!! Referred to as a Sullivan “present”.  WE ARE GOING DOWN, WHERE IS THE CB, CM & WINGER, MORE STRIKERS WE NEED NOW ?  

Sullivan emailing everyone about how he wants to keep Wilson. Nuno may be wrong wanting Wilson out but Sullivan again pulling in a different direction and undermining the manager, even if we dont think he’s right. You do all this in private. Sullivan undermines everyone if things go awry to make it look like he is the good guy and everyone else is wrong. “Sullivan first, West Ham 2nd”.  Sullivan is a cancer.  Sullivan may be right on this but he is a “man child” and continues to be the biggest problem we have.

It just carries on. 15 years of Sullivan wanting to be football manager, Nuno wanting full control too.  Another bloke putting himself before the best interests of the club who brings in 2 players from his only agent connection and probably gettting a kickback because Pablo aint ready for Championship, not PL yet.  Yes we’ve appointed the wrong bloke but who appointed him, who vetoed the board majority to insist on Lopetegui.  

We cannot stay up with this disunity. BS out makes more sense than ever. West Ham is a failed business run by a man who is not a very good businessman outside of buying property and renting it or selling it at a profit ( even I can do that ) or selling porn.   

I bore on about it ( well about everything actually ) but we have no long term plan/strategy, hence no operational plan to deliver said strategy, no organisational infrastructure or business processes in place to ensure the operational plan is executed effectively.  Short sighted West Ham, reactive, scattergun, “shoot from the hip” and all pulling in different directions.  

We beat Spurs, the effort and attitude was the big positive, but who sees Sunderland being as easy esoecially at the LS where our form is worse than away?  They wont play like Spurs, they have pace and strength in midfield and it will be a totally different proposition.  We need more options for the first team and Sully is getting a Sully special that is a loan because even he knows its a unlikely punt

 

[El Scorchio]

Heard on the old YT Lamadrid is seen as 'one for the future'. Not ready to contribute for 12 months. We have him on a 6 month loan with an option.
The one time it's beyond urgent to get players in who are ready to contribute right away, and Sullivan wastes time getting this deal done which is so far from a priority right now. This is the sort of move that was needed two seasons ago when we were handing over 40 million quid for James Ward Prowse instead.

Fucking joke owner. Enough of the fucking Sullivan specials. Especially now.
