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)

Callum Marshall just scored for Bochum after coming on as sub

I still can't believe we loaned out Earthy as a viable option off the bench for us. Can play him anywhere along the forward line behind a Striker whilst we also look around for another. I get that he's young etc, it's more the logic of limiting your options when there is no other alternative when Paqueta's been angling for a move all window. Seems to be a running theme with Nuno to cut off his nose to spite his face when it comes to offloading/disregarding players available to him when needs must and can't be so choosey. 

It's more the impact we would suffer, John. Without a creative ball carrier, as you put it, we can still compete, but without competent wingers, we are completely fucked, as our game is based around our wide men. Summerville is injury prone in general, so a bad injury to Bowen, with no back up signed, what would we do?

It would also give us options from the bench, as Wilson aside, that is another very weak point. Most of our games are tight, and bringing on one of 2 fast wingers would be game changing. 

Given we are in a massive hole and can’t solve all the problems in one go, I would rather prioritise what we don’t have rather than worrying about additional backup. With that in mind, my preference would for ball carrying creativity. Someone to deliver what Paqueta is meant to do but doesn’t.

We need back up wingers more than anything else imo, because as much as we need a CB, without Bowen & Jimmy, we have absolutely nothing backing them up. We at least have CB options, regardless of how shit, but we're an injury away from KWP playing on the wing. We don't even have a youth player to come in.

Watching Summerville destroy them yesterday in the first half, it's just baffling why we aren't trying to add more pace to the team.

Pablo is proper oil tanker slow, and Taty is not quick by any means, imagine if we had another player with raw pace in attack, with the way we are set up to play?

Should be our number 1 priority with anyone else coming in. If Summerville gets injured, we will be absolutely fucked.

And what a start for Carrick....

Good hope he fucks off

Paqueta not even on the bench today has to be a certain move to Brasil?

Monaco lost 3-1 tonight at home. With over 60% of possession.! Eric Dier ain’t the solution to our problems. So hopefully this is a no.

Palace implosion!

I bet Johnson was glad he joined.

 

Reckon Glasner will get a big job in Germany rather than Man U
Gary Neville reckons Man U should go for Tuchel Ancellotti or Pochettino 

Glasner, Eze & Guehi gone. Wharton & Mateta off in the summer
Nice while it lasted but Palace likely to return to being Palace

Mukiele, Lacroix, Esteve and Murillo = one Kilman

Will he get a new heart put in his chest at Palace?

I think I might just hibernate until Feb.

 They way this club endlessly dicks around with transfers

I would stretch it to even give them.5 mill for him

Glasner leaving Palace at the end of the season.. Man u?
