"LJC The kid Kylian, although used to stand as a nipper in Chav Corner still had his heart set on joining Real Madrid (plus the £100M signing on fee helped a little too). https://twitter.com/KMbappe?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor ""Même si j'ai adoré encourager les puissants Hammers alors que j'étais à Chav Corner en train de renifler Charlie sur la tête de mon père, je veux toujours aller sous le soleil de Madrid."" ⚒️"

MA I can’t believe you overlooked that article I posted.

[Massive Attack]

A few different popular Brazilian journos now reporting it's in the process of getting done.. https://twitter.com/andrehernan Clearly Steidten threatened to release compromising CCTV footage of Sullivan with 1 of his weird wax work dummies in his home to finally twist his arm to cough up.

[Massive Attack]

To translate from the Brazilian journo: Luís Guilherme at West Ham being closed for 23 million euros (R$ 131 million) fixed + 7 million euros (R$ 40 million) for goals. Global value of 30 million euros (R$ 171 million). Palmeiras is already in the process of exchanging documents with the English club

[LJC]

I can top that for you Alf… https://www.hammers.news/news/sudden-west-ham-link-to-world-superstar-leaves-everyone-baffled/

"Hurry up and bundle him on that private jet of yours, Timmy old son and send us back 1 of them beautiful beaming smug German grin of yours via WhatsApp before take off, before the oil ragheads nab him.... https://twitter.com/brunoandrd/status/1797683478676590656 https://twitter.com/brunoandrd/status/1797683478676590656"

[Sir Alf]

"Some of the usual web sites now suggesting Steidten to be sacked by Sullivan as this 3rd Brazilian deal collapses :-) You couldnt make it up? Only that is exactly what these sites do. The Sun, Mirror are the same. Get stories together that rioe everyone up. One thing Im noticing is since old Hugh went to meet his maker, the C&H site is like an echo with stories from all otged sites being repeated. I suppose Hugh did have Gold and maybe Sullivan throw him a bone now and then. Since he’s pegged it C&H is essentially the web site equivalent of “Fat bloke doen the pub” with its stories"

[Massive Attack]

"The Athletic Roshane Thomas @RoshaneSport 54m Luis Guilherme's representatives are still hopeful of getting a deal done. Talks remain ongoing between West Ham and Palmeiras. #WHUFC This could all just be a bit of razzmatazz posturing on our side by Sullivan trying to save a couple of bob as well as make the deal look like a real coup for the Club having looked likely it would be called off at one stage due to interest from Saudi Arabia. Sources in Brazil close to the Reps involved in the deal on Palmieras side seem to be saying deals still on, what's the fucking fuss all you mad English bastards.."

[Massive Attack]

"Conflicting reports now, more saying it's still on course... Brazil source: https://twitter.com/Infos_palestra/status/1797636529734733871 Luis Guilherme: Although some English portals point out that negotiations with West Ham could fall through, people involved in the deal claim that nothing has changed According to sources interviewed, the deal remains well underway and should progress over the next few days. We continue following"

and Rossal.... ditto lol

ED We can't take the word of Journos its all supposition and making 2 + 2 = 5 because it fits their agenda... But tbf in this case £25m for an unproven 18 yo is a bit steep.

Eerie Descent 6:29 Mon Jun 3 Few journos now saying Sully pulled the plug on it. Every fucking summer same old tricks. Wake up

(Always him that fucks this shit up when it comes to paying at the till)"

"LJC - Yeah, I might try and give that a whirl..."

[Vexed]

"I aint fussed. We sign him, OK. We dont sign him, shrug. I'm not super impressed with his extremely one footed YouTube vid anyway. Didnt think the big old bruiser CB looked anything special either. Competent. I think scarf cսnt just likes the hoes in Brazil."

"Ludo, if you don’t want to hear anything until a deal is done, I would suggest not reading a transfer rumours and gossip thread."

[Eerie Descent]

"Rossal 5:59 Mon Jun 3 Of all the regular shit that I read on here, this has to take the brainless cake, bar none."

[ludo21]

"I'd love to know who leaks all of this info. If it's the selling club or the players agent then obviously not much you can do but if these are coming from the club then they need to stop. Can't take anything seriously, compromises any genuine negotiations and just looks absolutely shit. Don't want to hear anything until a deal is done."

[Massive Attack]

"Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen Follow West Ham's deal for Palmeiras' Luis Guilherme is in some doubt. There is genuine Saudi interest, although nothing yet formal. A £5m-base plus bonuses package has been discussed. Unclear yet if anything will develop further. But a big push being made in Brazil by Saudi Pro League dealmakers since clubs can now add two foreigners 21 or under from next season. For an unproven 18yo in the Premier League, we can't compete with that, on top of the £25M plus agents fees we would also have to fork out for to get him."

[Rossal]

Season ticket renewal deadline on the same day the wonderkid deal collapses what a coincidence!

[ludo21]

To be fair... £30k pw to sit on our bench or £100k pw to play in Saudi and then move again in 2-3 years is a bit of a no brainer even if it does show a distinct lack of ambition. Hopefully the toe rag will never be heard of again.
