Utterly fucking clueless management from tofrom bottom. We're doomed.

It's not because "he cannot take it anymore", it'll be because he's on a heavily incentivised performance-related contract and we've just signed two players who will be vying for his shirt

Definitely. Certainly puts his head in where it hurts.

On the face of it, seems like a crazy signing, the usual short sighted, doesn't fit requirements we need buy.

However, at this point, who gives a fuck. 

Let's just hope this Castellanos fella and that Pablo Felipe fella have something about them.

It's a massive risk to lay out so much dough (for us) on two Latin forwards who have never played in the Premier League before.

Castellanos Confirmed by ExWHU as complete. Been training with the squad today and announcement later.

Expected to wear no. 11.

Seems madness to me, Lazio fans and all the Serie A pundits say he is massivly overpriced.  We look dead and buried, £23m to be sold for £15m in a few months time. 

I'd rather put the cash towards two or three champ players in the summer.

Castellano currently at the training ground finalising the move.

Who writes this crap? He isn’t going to Spurs. 

Might as well just surrender and  sell them Bowen as well, then they'll have our 3 best players! Tremendous.

Shame as he'd have been handy next season in the EFL

Hammers News saying Guilherme to Sporting Lisbon is £17m

I want to thank everyone for this time together and for all the affection I received. Now I move on to another challenge in my career, taking with me everything I lived here and with the certainty that good things are ahead. Grateful for everything. Once a Hammer

Add to the fact that neither could get a gig in the PL this season after leaving speaks volumes about the quality or absolute lack of, of both Kilman and Mav. We’d have been no worse of turning out two ‘over the hill’ full backs deemed not good enough to be at the club. 

The comment was about the character of the players, as in senior and experienced.
