"‘Feet - when you defend Moyes it’s all about the last 4 years, but when you wanna trash Haller you isolate one season that is post cancer treatment."

[Massive Attack]

"Haller has been receiving treatment and coming to terms with a life threatening testicular cancer, so it's understandable he's been in and out the side. But even then when he has played for either Ajax or Dortmund has still managed to come up with crucial Champions League goals since he left us."

[Massive Attack]

"Pretty much, Faux. Thing is what infuriates me is we all know how damn hard it is to attract and sign quality Strikers and we did that but had to then watch them leave as soon as they arrive because we couldn't get to grips with playing to their strengths. Our loss is now Atalantas gain enjoying a phenomenal season for an unfashionable Club playing great Football, in Europa League and Italian Finals and now touching distance of the Champions League in 5th currently. with Scamacca at the heart of it all as soon as ge left us/Moyes. He has all the tools and the perfect age too at just 25yo."

[goose]

Scamacca scored 8 in 27 for us. That’s pretty far from failure.

[twoleftfeet]

"Hallers records this season, played 18 scored 3 None in the league. Yet some of you are still crying about him leaving."

[Fauxstralian]

For some reason Scamacca & Haller didn’t flourish when asked to play as a number 9 40 yds ahead of their next teammate battling 2 or 3 defenders If we are going to shift 30yds up the pitch and try and PLAY I suspect either would do better as they have shown elsewhere Obviously it will be someone else & hopefully Tim can find a gem to play with Bowen & Kudus

[Manuel]

"goose - OK mate. it's true that some don't work out in the PL due to physique etc, but looking at Scamacca he looks perfect for the PL, as for his lack of pace, Moyes doesn't really need his no 9 to be pacey. Big shame."

[Massive Attack]

"No one said it was, div. It was to make the point the fella clearly has quality in a decent level of Football we were also in, in recent times. It was always levelled at him, can't do it in the Premier League, Europa Conference is about his level and yet ripped it up in the Europa League the minute he leaves us and did it against top Premier League quality Liverpool. The excuses for your dearly beloved have one by one evaporated and in the process we've had to endure watching a raft of decent players leave as if they were all the problem and not the manager. It's the manager that got found out, not the scapegoat players."

[Side of Ham]

Then there’s the little matter of no striker did well here under Moyes you numpty…..

[Nutsin]

Just because someone does well in Europe that doesn’t always translate well to the much faster paced and more physical premier league ffs. Plenty of players who have done well in Europe have disappointed in the Prem league. Scammacca isn’t the first and won’t be the last.

[Massive Attack]

"Sounds promising. Future looks bright with so many Academy and other promising 18yo coming to the Club for the new season, hoping to impress."

[LJC]

"Massive I think Brown is predominantly a CB who can play left back. Supposed to be highly rated. Blimey, talking about 18 year olds getting in the squad and actually playing games!"

[goose]

"Manuel, it’s a toss up between Scamacca & Mateo Retegui of Genoa."

[goose]

"Manuel, it’s a toss up between Scamacca & Mateo Retegui of Genoa."

[Massive Attack]

I was hoping we'd focus on 1 of Scarles or Johnson (if he remains?) for Emerson Left Back cover next season.

[LJC]

Do we think Luis Brown is coming in as the back up left back?

[Manuel]

"Happy to hold my hands up ref Scamacca, I didn't think it was a bad thing getting rid based on his injury record and a perceived lack of pace and movement, looked like a bit of a lamppost to me, but think he's proved now he's a proper number 9 at the top level. Will he be starting for Italy in the Euro's?"

[Massive Attack]

"And his former manager was totally and completely wrong in labelling him lazy and for fucking him off and failed to get the best out of him. Italian Football not the Premier League? Scamacca has done it all season long in the Europa League. A monumental fuck up by the manager, also see letting Fornals, Kehrer and Benrahma go during the same seasons windows. Singlehandedly destroyed his own decent Squad."

[Side of Ham]

But obviously that manager plays in a way that even when lazy he’s still a key player for them….

[twoleftfeet]

Described by his manager as lazy. Stop fishing.

"This monster of a Striker in Serie A who both scored and assisted yesterday looks decent, wonder how much he'd cost to get here.. https://youtu.be/_KDb90gKVXg?si=MK7L5ahGyxuzYq_9 Serial A - 11 Goals 6 Assists Europa League - 6 Goals Italian Cup - 1 Goal 1 Assist 18 Goals 7 Assists in all competitions Helped get Atalanta to Italian Cup Final (injured couldn't play in Final) Helped Atalanta get to the Europa League Final beating Liverpool to get there (Helped some other Club win the Europa Conference last season) Helped Atalanta get to 5th in the League, just 1 point behind both Juventus and Bologna with Champions League a real possibility. All in his debut season for them. Anyone heard of him?"

"GFF West Ham interested in signing Oumar Solet from RB Salzburg According to Foot Mercato, West Ham United are interested in signing Oumar Solet (24) from RB Leipzig in the summer transfer window. The former Lyon centre-back is set to leave the Austrian Bundesliga in the summer in search of a new challenge elsewhere in Europe. Solet was almost on the move in the January transfer window. Napoli showed a strong interest in the former France youth international but were unable to complete a move for the Salzburg defender. Lens also showed interest in Solet late in the winter transfer window but a move for the Lyon academy graduate was financially unattainable. Several clubs interested West Ham are one of several clubs interested in the 24-year-old defender ahead of the summer transfer window. Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg and Roma are also showing an interest in Solet, Foot Mercato report. With such interest in his services, the Frenchman is set to be spoilt for choice when deciding where to take the next step in his career."

"Give Me Sport West Ham and Wolves Among Additional Doughty Admirers Premier League rivals aiming to take advantage of expected relegation GMS sources have been informed that Doughty is attracting interest from a string of Premier League clubs looking to take advantage of Luton's almost-certain relegation to the Championship, resulting in Palace expecting a fight for his signature if they choose to make a move in the coming weeks. It is understood that West Ham United, who are preparing to enter a new era under incoming chief Julen Lopetegui, and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also mulling over whether to hand the London-born former Stoke City man an opportunity to embark on a fresh challenge in the top flight. But Palace are continuing to monitor Doughty, who was described as 'fantastic' by Luton teammate Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, and are refusing to rule out the possibility of welcoming him to Selhurst Park as Glasner looks to make his mark."
