Guilherme needs time to develop also. Might as well look to sell him in January. ;-)

[RBshorty]

Seems a bit daft. Cash Cow for the club. Look at the quality the rent boys have to let go. Lopetegui can't wait around for the player to break through. Club knows this and maybe the player is very aware of this too.?

"""We ain't got the luxury of time to wait for him to develop"" Might as well bin off the academy completely then?"

[RBshorty]

We ain't got the luxury of time to wait for him to develop. Everyone has a price tag. We move on.

"The fucking wailing on here will be endless if we let a youth player go to Villa. Nevermind that they've never seen him play or that perhaps the club know what they're doing (Diangana, Ashby, Ngakia, Perkins.... etc) but if he's youth or had a West Ham duvet as a child it's gonna be like Thorpe Park in the middle of summer with children crying next to dropped ice creams level of wailing on here."

"Roots - we just retain Coufal as back up, who is not on big wages and who we wouldn't get much of a fee if sold and / or it gives a young prospect a chance."

[Russ of the BML]

Really agitated by Orford leaving. Why on earth do we hardly ever see any of our youth prospects make it to become a first team regular?

[Russ of the BML]

It was reported that Man Utd wanted Mazraoui but had to sell AWB first. Then I heard we were in for Mazraoui. I wonder if Steidten wanted Mazraoui all along and the AWB link was just to stall Man Utd? If it was it was a masterstroke. But probably more just luck and coincidence.

[RootsRadical]

Mazraoui has missed 79 games through injury in the last 4 seasons apparently.

[Manuel]

"Happy with the RB from Bayern, looks a proper signing that."

[Manuel]

"Orford leaving, bit of a shock that and a bit gutted, although I am a little biased as I know his old man."

[LJC]

Ludo I think it sounds like that was the case a few years ago and he has slipped behind a couple of the others now. Can’t say I’ve seen a lot of them so can’t really comment. It’s just what I’ve read.

[ludo21]

I thought that Lewis Orford was the next great hope!? Disappointing if he's off either way.

[ray winstone]

"Smith-Rowe off to Fulham? Wouldn't have minded seeing him at E20, bit over priced maybe?"

[Lee Trundle]

He's a life long Hammer (so is his whole family) and is a great prospect. There should be questions asked if he's not willing to sign a contract with us.

[LJC]

Or the other rumour I just read is that he wasn’t signing a new contract and had already agreed to join villa.

[LJC]

I don’t think we were offering Orford a new contract (for some reason) and Villa was sniffing around anyway. If that’s the case then it makes a bit more sense.

[LJC]

Apparently AWB turned us down and Mazraoui is comfortable at LB as well. Sounds like a cheap deal to me. I know there are injury concerns but looks like he was playing with an injury and making it worse when he should have got it seen too.

[Lee Trundle]

"""We've offered cash + Lewis Orford for Jhon Duran"" I think we need to move on from Duran, personally. I don't think our transfer strategy has changed much at all, judging by this window. We've bent over and received enough."

[Rossal]

We've offered cash + Lewis Orford for Jhon Duran Be gutting to lose Orford if we pursue Duran.....i'd rather we go elsewhere then get near £40m for Duran seems crazy money

[LJC]

"Seems other people rate Irving… From The Anvil - West Ham United ⚒ @FromTheAnvilWHU · Follow The club received loan offers from Espanyol and an unnamed Bundesliga side for Andy Irving, but Lopetegui felt he warranted an opportunity to impress in pre-season. The Scottish midfielder has not let Lopetegui down."

[ludo21]

Seen a few Bayern fans on twitter moaning about the low fee and referring to him as their 'best full back' and a 'world class fb' so looks promising... usually they can't wait to get our targets out the door...

[ludo21]

We only seem capable of doing one deal at a time so hopefully Mazraoui will get done in the next few days and we can move on to a striker.
