Daily Mirror £15m for Arter

The world has gone officially mental. £15m for Harry Arter according to the Daily Mirror. If we pay that we need our bumps felt.

Isn’t he Scott Parker’s brother in law?
I suspect Parker is still a better player than him

Yes but Arter has...PREMIER LEAGUE EXPERIENCE!!!
You know like Payet and Lanzini did.
Best not to sign that Dendoncker bloke for a few million more as he does not have any experience of this league so it would be a MASSIVE risk. Also most Belgians who come to the PL are clearly shit...

We pay £15M for Arter and get rid of our best goalscorer for the same price,ridiculous.

this type of signing shows how little they know about the game, how little ambition they have for the future and how much contempt the have for moyes

If this is the type of signing Sullivan thinks will take us to the next level, there should be a mass boycott of season ticket purchases in the summer.
Sheer lunacy to do otherwise.

Shit signing that improves nothing, he just adds an extra body to the squad. This year's Snodgrass or even further back, it reminds me of when we signed Quashie. I really don't see the logic in it, it's not even a good short term solution for this season.
If Bournemouth, one of the few teams who have performed worse than us this season, don't think he's the answer in a relegation battle and play others over him, why are we prepared to shell out 15m for him? Or any amount of money for that matter, even if we got him on a free he still would not add anything to us.
If this is the best we can attract, then just give Cullen a run in the team.

I think this is interesting if true, if Moyes really wants Arter and £15m is the price then will tight arse Sullivan pay the money, this is a good test of Sullivan dping things on the cheap i think.
Like others though £15m for a 29 year old with little sell on value and probably going to be a squad player is not money well spent.

1 assist this season, I know Arter is a half decent player but we need someone who can play passes into attackers that aren't at neck or knee height!

Definitely agree with this. We are falling into the trap where a poor summer (and this has happened a few years in a row) has dictated what has to happen in winter, and then the board claim what they had to do in winter impacts funds for the summer.
Pffffttt.
They need to just stop being half arsed in the summer trust the manager and football people at the club and give them what they say they need. Trouble is that for every signing that doesn't work out you get Sullivan wheeling out his 'the manager wanted him but I didn't', 'My family begged me not to sign him.' crap, which to be quite frank is disgraceful. You don't see any other owners behaving like that. He seems really desperate not to appear responsible for any bad signings.

the thing about the scum owners is linking us to shit is the continuation of lowering expectations, they're experts at it

All part of the West Ham vicious transfer cycle. Lack of summer investment blamed on desperation winter signings draining the resources leading to the threat of relegation which sees desperate, expensive winter signings and less money in the summer.
All down to a board who’s highest aspiration is average.

Re: Daily Mirror £15m for Arter

Mind you not even Wilshere was a regular for Bournemouth last season...
The problem is that because Moyes is only employed to the end of the season, his ambitions are to keep us from relegation so that he gets a new long-term contract or at least so that he can justify a job elsewhere.
He wants midfielders that can hit the ground running and that keep his job prospects high. He doesn't want a player for the future. He wants on for today...

And presumably they're faced with the same kind of challenges.
Such as the problem that nobody of the 'next level' will want to join a team threatened with relegation. And the bastard agents playing everyone off against each other to the last minute of the window's last day.
