"If you look at our transfer business as of 8am today, then it's been pretty shit considering the players we've needed to bring in. There's still plenty of time before the window closes, of course, but not so much time if you want players bedded in for the start of the season."

[Manuel]

"I suppose realistically if only the manager changes and not the owners then any changes won't be significant. Suspect we will get the 3 or so we need but likely won't happen imminently. If it doesn't happen Loppi will walk. Also, this pearl diver nonsense isn't really a thing is it."

[onsideman]

Or maybe I should say it feels like a Sullivan transfer window

[onsideman]

"Dare I say it that at the moment it feels a bit like a Moyes transfer window? Still time for that to change but Zouma, Aguerd, Ings etc have all gone to the States Cornet has had 45 mins in each friendly but hasn't exactly grabbed the opportunity. Figurwd we're in dire need of full backs, striker(s) and left wing and seen nothing yet to dispel those thoughts"

[Manuel]

"It all feels a little unclear right now since besides having a new manager (head coach) it's still unclear who is leaving, our best youngsters are a year older and may get chances, and will the likes of Cornet get a chance now? As is stands I'd say we need 3 more first teamers in, I fancy Duran will happen soon and Aguerd will go out. Hopefully can ship out old man Zouma and Ings and wouldn't be against Soucek going. JWP can stay."

[onsideman]

"RootsRadical 11:12 Mon Jul 22 Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread Villa are having a clear out, not sure why as they finished 4th but seem to think that because they are in the CL they need better. Fancy that, have a good season and then try to get better. Of course that's the sensible approach. Try to improve every year. It's called progress. Onana's their 7th signing with only 2 having been sold (assuming Diaby goes), so they are going to need to out a few more I would think"

[Fauxstralian]

We were close to getting Onana until his sister/agent wanted 30% on top of his salary for her Presume Everton agreed to that Didn’t think he was anything special Villa have bought about 7 players I think but have sold Douglas Luis to Juve for £42m or thereabouts Also think they are selling Diaby to Saudi for a decent fee

"Villa have posted 4 big losses in a row and are under FFP investigation , they need to sort there books and still improve the squad or they are next ."

[RootsRadical]

"Matty Cash available apparently. A yes from me. Villa are having a clear out, not sure why as they finished 4th but seem to think that because they are in the CL they need better."

[Mex Martillo]

Anyone else find Onana for 50M a bit odd? I felt Everton robbed him from us and so watched him against us. Thought he was nothing special and was happy we got Alvarez instead.

[Matthew Holmes]

Frustrating Kylay son You'd think there must be a role for fan scouting or did the scouting department even waist a year ago. Worth putting in the suggestion box

[LJC]

Rumour that Man Utd have told us they will take £10m for AWB but they want it now so they can get Mazraoui over the line.

"Nothing happening really. Opening bids are “testing the water” and it is “boiling hot” with every club looking at £40million for any half decent player. We aint shopping in that aisle now Kilman is done. This will be week 3 of inactivity after a promising start. We aint got European football which most quality players want and limited funds? Need some “pearls” to be uncovered ? We ate still very good at selling players mind. No Ins but I bet Aguerd will be home in the next 2 weeks at less than we paid for him. Sullivan loves the cash flow coming in even if it represents a loss over the long term. Downes and Aguerd, Benrahma, Kehrer and Fornals last Jan. What does that total in fees and wages? Only Kilman and the Brazilian kid recruited. Sullivan is a happy man as he’s in the “black” so far thus window"

"This is the LB from Atlanta I said we should take a long, hard look at end of last season. I saw most of his minutes in Atlanta and really believe he'll be a very solid premier league player in a year or two. lots of pace and strength, but above all very good vision and football intelligence which is unusual for an American. Gutted to see him going to Chelsea given their track record developing players and the fact they are cunts: https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/caleb-wiley-completes-chelsea-transfer"

"Florian Plettenberg @Plettigoal EXCL | Manchester United and West Ham exploring deal to sign Noussair Mazraoui! First concrete talks took place. Mazraoui is at the top of the list for both clubs and he’s keen to play Premier League. #MUFC | #WHUFC The 26 y/o right-back can leave FC Bayern now. Originally they demanded €30m. However, the market does not support this amount. Now, Bayern pushing to get €20-25m. Most realistic price: €15-20m all-in. Mazraoui spacer"

Strikers are West Ham Kryptonite… Apparently…

[Takashi Miike]

"there's zero chance of us getting relegated, only a moronic cսnt would be predicting that"

[Lee Trundle]

"It'll take a supreme amount of shitness from Lopetegui to get this squad relegated, which I severely doubt will happen. I think questioned can be asked if we've strengthened the squad much (as of now) but it's not really been weakened at all with the players that have left."

[the exile]

"COYI in acting like a defeatist miserable cսnt shocker. 1. We will bring in at least two more good signings, possibly more, depending on outgoings. 2. Not only will we not be in a relegation battle, we will finish higher than last season. Both of those are promises. Feel free to hold me to them."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Should easily be good enough to avoid the drop, especially without Europe, but we could easily be in the mix. Our squad was weak beyond 4 or 5 players last season. We also didn’t win a single game when Paqueta was out. If Lopetegui is to play an attacking passing style we need to address the lack of creativity we have, otherwise our crap defence might get caught out more."

[dealcanvey]

"'As it stands, our squad is easily relegation fodder. Got a sinking feeling about this coming season.' On what basis? Who have we let go this window that was a regular in our 11 last season? Plus no European football to think about. We will still bring in a RB, LW and ST this window. Another CB if Aguerd leaves."

[RootsRadical]

"Don't think so LB. Usually we were told by a dithering Moyes how ""difficult it is to sign players so hopefully they'll be one or two in by the end of the window"" This year it was mentioned shortly after Loppy's appointment, it is important due obviously to having a new manager and a lot of new players."

[Alan]

"Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano EXCL: West Ham have submitted initial proposal to Leeds United for Crysencio Summerville. Talks took place also on player side, but still not close, considered very expensive. AS Roma have also included Summerville in their list but only in case Soulé deal doesn’t happen."
