The time has come :)

So what do you think has got to be done in the summer regarding ins and outs?

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Reckon Fabianski has one more season in him as no2 keeper but Ogbonna, Cresswell, Ings obviously need to move on.
Kehrer & Benrahma will be sold & to me Zouma’s knee spells the end … if we can get a fee.
Big job for whoever takes over from Moyes

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Areola is def good enough, Fab ok number 2 in new Season.

Dinos is good enough to start with a new left sided CB, but get a young right sided CB to push him, keep one of Zouma or Aguerd as 4th choice, let Oggy go.

Coufal not good enough to start, need a new RB, coufal to bench.

Emerson good enough to start, new young LB to push him, let Cresswell and Johnson go.

Alvarez ok, need another dynamic CM to relegate Soucek and JWP to the bench, bring back Downes.

Bowen, Kudus and Paqueta ok, even Cornet may get time under a new coach? Need a new LW to challenge first team, Hudson Odi? or of that calibra.

New striker needed to start, Ivan Toney type, keep Antonio to bench, maybe a 3rd striker to come in? Ings to go

Areola
New RB Dinos New CB Emerson
Alvarez New CM
Bowen Kudus Paqueta
New CF

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Looks to me like roughly half the squad need to be moved on. Can't see much to be gained by retaining Cresswell, Ogbonna, Zouma, Fabianski, Aguerd, or Ings. Benrahma and Kehrer all but gone already, Phillips loan all over (mercifully). Paqueta would have to convince new manager he wants to put in a shift, but 85 million looks very appealing. Soucek, Cornet......? Personally not convinced that Areola is good enough.
Get Downes back, give Antonio one year, keep the rest (though seems like Johnson and Mubama have little interest in staying.

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Soucek is an interesting one, if the new manager wants us to play football, he's completely redundant. 29 years old now, perfect time to cash in and add to the transfer pot. Selling him, Aguerd and Paqueta will give the club a nice pot to play with.

Re: The summer transfer window thread

I struggle to take anyone seriously when they suggest Cresswell should stay on another year.

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Fullkrug under Moyes would of been a waste of time anyway. Exact same type as Haller

Re: The summer transfer window thread

I read the other day that Steidten wanted Niclas Füllkrug but we didn't buy him because Moyes was holding out for Broja... Imagine having this cunt fucking up our business again

Not WHO's Frankie, I hope?

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Geo did a vid with some fella called Frankie, seems a good bloke tbf, but was saying Cresswell should be given another year, then went on to say he wouldn't expect him to play and we should sign another LB, but his loyalty and dedication to the club merits another year and he will be a good bloke to have ''around the club''. The mind boggles.

Looks like we will sign the Corinthians left winger, they are just haggling for a couple of more mil. meant to be mustard, but a big step up of course.

Kudas release clause . Dosent kick in until next summer .

Re: The summer transfer window thread

It'll be sad to see Antonio go, as I've always liked him. Maybe one last pay day for him in Saudi and then returns to us as 'grinning coach'.

He's been doing a fair bit of Media training at Salford Quays, so punditry will be his next career.

Re: The summer transfer window thread

A couple so far deal… Jacob Greaves, 23 year old CB and Callum O'Hare, 26, AM.

Re: The summer transfer window thread

West Ham is a professional football club , not a benevelant home for aging employees.
But for too long we have been too skewed toward the latter .
It’s time to lose the sentimentality and bring down the age profile.
A big thanks to Ogbonna , Fab , Cresswell, Antonio .
Careful with your millions in your retirement
Or best of luck with your next gig to add to your pension pot .

Re: The summer transfer window thread

I see talk of Cresswell staying another year.

Out of all the old guard, feel that he is the one we need to say goodbye too. We need a RB and LB this summer in order to improve. Cresswell has been a great servant and signing for this club but it really is time for getting someone better in that position.

No doubt we are starting to worry about our HG quota which isn’t looking good. Hope we are looking at some options from
The championship as it has served us well in the past.

No issue with Fabianski staying on for another year. He’s been solid and is still a very good number 2.

Saw that he said he WILL be leaving when his contract ends
Villa & us interested according to reports
Free transfer ... magic words for Sullivan

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Not seen him before but Callum O'Hare only played the last 10 minutes for Coventry last night but was quite effective when he came on... similar style of play (and build) to Grealish. Spent the ten minutes mainly on the left.

Re: The summer transfer window thread

Think it was in a Jacob Steinberg article where he said we were looking at a couple of Championship players
Callum O'hare 26yo (tomorrow!) winger from Coventry available on a free
Jacob Greaves 23yo 6'4 centre half from Hull. We were linked previously, perhaps Bowen can put in a word

Re: The summer transfer window thread

I see little issue with that. It'll be for a high figure.

I have no real issue with Paqueta's either. It pretty much gives an ultimatum if a team wants to buy him with no messing about. It's either that figure, or you don't get him.
