"Antonio for me lacks and has always lacked the finishing to be deemed a natural forward. He was for many years played as a wide player where his strength and speed got him in behind defences and getting crosses in. Moyes , to his credit, saw how his strength and running was a good fit to the quick countering that is essential to Moyesball. Even Arnautovic had impressive strength on the ball and thus was able to play well centrally in a Moyes set up. But Antonio was converted and did a decent job. I still think he has another season in him but back out wide as a impact sub or starting some games for first 60 mins. But technically he, like Soucek and Zouma, Coufal, lack pasding and the control/ first touch to excel in a team that tries to keep the ball, build from the back and play thru or around teams. But we shall see soon enough"

[Side of Ham]

"Yep Moyes can convert a winger into a striker but none of the players he buys directly as strikers (for a lot of wedge) can work.......because he's a shit manager.....he sees a striker as a man less to defend......bye, bye Moyes......"

[LJC]

"The most least exciting rumour, we are in for Foderingham as 3rd choice keeper."

[Jasnik]

I will tell you one thing he definitely is not a right back

[Jasnik]

Thierry Henry

[LJC]

Trevoh Chalobah Available for £25m apparently. Should be all over that.

[Far Cough]

"Geoff Hurst, converted from wing half, therefore NOT a striker ;-)"

[dolph]

Cristiano Ronaldo's not a striker too then?

[Lee Trundle]

*professional career

[Lee Trundle]

"It's almost like he didn't paly the first 11 years of his professional as a winger, isn't it?"

[twoleftfeet]

"Marko Arnautovic prospered under Moyes. So to be clear Antonio isn’t striker he is a converted winger? So Henry wasn’t a striker then? There are not many players that start as strikers, most get converted. But hey let the Moyes haters have their say, the blokes gone now but he is living rent free inside their heads"

[Massive Attack]

"Antonio was once played at Right Back, guess that made him a Right Back... follow the logic for the hard of thinking."

[Nutsin]

"* He is playing striker that makes him a fucking striker now, doesn’t it. Fucking phone."

[LJC]

Billy. That’s what I’m getting at. It’s amazing that people getting away with writing such tripe.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

LJC Sorry mustve missed that where have you taken it from re Aguerd going on a free... that would be madness!!

[Fauxstralian]

Free transfer? Ha ha ha Maybe we could then bring in Haaland ON A FREE TRANSFER

[LJC]

"11. Nayef Aguerd Aguerd's West Ham contract still has another three years to run but he has been tipped as one that could leave the club on a free transfer this summer. As with many, it depends on Lopetegui's plans, but the defender could well be sold amid interest from France. Amazing."

[RBshorty]

If they want Kudus this summer. It’s £120 million. No less.

[riosleftsock]

"If I was Guardiola I would be buying Kudus, not Paqueta. If Paqueta is worth 85m (he isn't), Kudus must be worth nearer 100m"

[Massive Attack]

"That's the way I understood it Side of Ham, Antonio isn't an orthodox Striker, just as neither is Kudus or Bowen is."

[LJC]

I think and I could be wrong but I think it’s something like premiership clubs can start on 14th June and international from 1st July.

[LJC]

I think and I could be wrong but I think it’s something like premiership clubs can start on 14th June and international from 1st July.

[RBshorty]

Thought it wasn’t until July.? Either way. Let’s see if Paqueta is still on the market by the time the Euro’s ends.Can’t see it myself.

[LJC]

Can’t premier league clubs start trading on 14th June.

[RBshorty]

Well the transfer window opens up on July 1st. And the Euro’s final is on July 14th. Let’s see if Paqueta is still here by the 15th.?
