The time has come :)
So what do you think has got to be done in the summer regarding ins and outs?

From what I've read, Lopetegui plays with his "wide" forwards very narrow, since it's the fullbacks providing the width...very much inside forwards rather than wingers.
On that basis "left" Vs "right" is probably less important than ensuring the wider forwards are comfortable playing in more central areas.
Most of the Brazilian views on Guilherme are that he is really a no. 10 who is quite similar in his play to Rivaldo, so no doubt will be fine to grow into either inside forwards roles in a 4-3-3.
Bottom line he's super talented, and we're trying to get in at the right point in time...wait 3 years and he's out of our league, or disappeared without trace. If we want to he in for players who could become the next big thing at a world class level, we have to take these chances.
He's also an 18 year old kid...so can't be expected to come in and tear up the league from the get go.

You need 4 centre halves & Ogbonna is gone & Aguerd & maybe Zouma going
You’d need some more experience & if it’s not Bruno then maybe Kilman (if the manager wants him) with Mavropanos Greaves & Edwards

I agree Nagel long as the other positions get sorted but I’ll be surprised if we haven’t dented our kitty spending 25m on this kid. My concern is we don’t get a Forward and Lopetegui is happy to carry on with Antonio after he wanted him at Wolves

Faux 1.22 do you mean Edwards & Greaves as back up centre backs, as a pairing of those two in the heart of our defence would lead to an even leakier defence than this season?
I watched Edwards in a few games in Peterborouhs promotion push including the play offs and he looked too small for a centre back and nowhere near good enough, never seen Greaves play so can't comment

No recent updates on Jota Silva
All the stories saying we are ‘close’ are from 5 days ago

With the Paqueta £85m disappearing we will have to wheel & deal
Was Kehrer £11m, should get £15m for Benrahma & if we can get an auction going for Aguerd in France that could be £30m
Hopefully some of our youngsters can step up & have said I’d like to see Greaves & Ronnie Edwards as centre halves who shouldn’t be crazily expensive

Hopefully we are still in for Jota Silva who can play on the left.
I assume that Guilherme is largely seen as a Kudus replacement for the season after next but that he will get quite a bit of game time this season.
Exciting times.
Presumably Paqueta will be around until his fate is decided so could well play quite a bit of next season if it all drags out.

Guilherme can play as a 10 as well as RW, same as Kudus. As he's only 18 he might be being bought to ease him into the team as a sub/backup for Bowen and Kudus, at least until next season.
As long as there's still money in the kitty for a LW, striker and all the other positions that are much higher priority then all well and good I suppose.

Even a couple of posts down say that he plays through the middle lately and that’s his best position. Add to that he plays wing back and the fact loppy has said it’s not all about rigid positions, I think you will see all three play and interchange. Plus are we only ever going to have a starting eleven, we are allowed good subs as well.

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Article I read said Luis G can play right, left or as a number 10.
Paqueta won’t be with us one way or another
Bowen is going nowhere & suspect we will have Kudus for one more season before his buyout kicks in.
All the more reason to get a couple of these young players in to share the load with each other & hopefully step up the season after

Re: The summer transfer window thread

It's not just that he's a right winger, but that he's a left footed right winger the same as Bowen and Kudus.
I wonder if we might cash in on one of them this summer now Paqueta is likely to stay if this kid joins.

I read Guilherme is a right winger.
He sounds exciting but I was hoping we would prioritise the left wing given we have Bowen and Kudus who prefer the right side.

fraser - It appears so and that reflects in the price difference, obviously we won't buy both so yea I'd prefer Guilherme. Was just asking the question.

Isn't Guilherme considered a much better prospect than Westley?

Last I saw was that Tim has spoken with Wesley’s representative but that there are 5 or 6 clubs interested. Seems less likely
Same article said we were also one of 5 or 6 looking at Summerville of Leeds

Romano - More on West Ham and Luis Guilherme exclusive story.
West Ham have agreed also personal terms with 2006 born talent, salary and contract ready.
Talks at final stages with Palmeiras on €30m fee plus 20% future sale, West Ham are almost there — cautious until the end.
