Davros Sullivan who came to exterminate WHU. 

[Sir Alf]

Its looking that way Massive. Sullivan is like Davros the leader of the Daleks.

[Massive Attack]

Knowing our fucking luck the disgusting slug manages to see past 100 before ponying up to be cryogenically frozen and haunt the Club for the next 1000 years with occasional awakenings from his deep sleep. Thankfully I'll be long gone by then but I fear the poor Club will forever be haunted by the devil incarnate. 

[Sir Alf]

Apologies Massive. I just felt the need to set expectations lower than they already were. Realism is often very depressing

I have alerted the Samaritans to expect calls from West Ham fans who might dwell on the thought of Sullivan living into his 90s which would make it 15 years more.  

[Massive Attack]

“The Sullivan Effect” will ensure any transfer business we conduct will be underwhelming at best and farcical. 

Sullivan is 76 and has a good 10 years left to wreak havoc. 

You cսnt, what a depressing thought...

If the dwarf is buying Duran it would be funded by selling Kudus no other way.

wouldn't be too opposed to this, Kudus is fast becoming at risk of being a flash in the pan

Absolutely agree, he gets on the ball a lot, but does fuck all with it. 

[Massive Attack]

Nick on c&b released a video yesterday morning which he recorded Sunday night saying we were about to bid for Duran again. I thought it was bullshit. But seeing as it wasn't he also said we're talking to a player that will blow everyone's mind and a Paraguayan defender from La Liga, can't remember his name but I wasn't taking any of it seriously... But seeing as he was right about Duran... Hopefully the rest has some substance, and yes it's the hope that kills. 

Would be such a Sullivan move to go back in for Neymar after all these years after a bad injury and announce we are about to sign him on a 4 year deal for millions.

Villa instantly rejected it anyway. If £57M plus add ons isn't going to be enough to prize him away from Villa now as a back-up Striker, then I'd seriously think about turning our attentions to Liam Delap and still have change left over. They too may not accept a bid for him preferring to avoid the drop but we should at least ask the question and we could always go back in for him in the Summer. 

[claypole]

After having a look around on some forums literally nobody believes the sincerity of the Duran bid. A big majority of people are starting to see past the razzle dazzle and lies. 

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

I think we all know as per sullivan's form, he's offered a huge sum... knowing fully well it has fuck all chance of going through.

he's dusting off the "we tried" press release as we speak

Of course it's all bollocks .
 but Ive always  hated Aston fookin Viler...and their tosspot  fanny support..
.so tip my cap to smurf on this one


 

[Massive Attack]

Or we could just keep signing tge likes of Ings and Füllkrug... Summer we should have done it... 

 

 

It fucked our season in not doing so. So what does the Club do instead, spend big on slow as arseholes injury prone Fullkrug!

Durans goals and being a general nightmare for opposition Defenders up top with his lightning pace would have made a real difference. And that's regardless of whoever was our manager, even if we still had ultra defensive Moyes in charge. Instead we've had to put up with playing injury ridden old biddies in Fullkrug 31, Ings 32, Antonio 34 all with over 10 years on him.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Smurf under WHU  reminds me of a  NFL 'franchise'

 loads of badly dressed   fat cunts standing about doing jack shit  .

[Steady]

Cornet has moved to Genoa on loan until end of this season

[Mad Ferret]

Kudus can go.

[ragingbull]

[Forest Gate Ugly]

We tried…

Good point that we could get a couple of decent players with £57m. Truth is, Sullivan has no intention of spending that kind of money this window. If Villa did say yes, which they never would, he’d find a way to reverse out of the deal at 100mph 

[El Scorchio]

Our business model is terrible.



 

It does seems to focus on THE player, rather than that type of player.

Too right. We should be looking at identifying the next Duran or player of that type. Not the current one somewhat after the horse has bolted and it'll already cost a fortune. 

[claypole]

Classic Razzle Dazzle
As said below nothing to see here

[fraser]

He's an excellent player, ironically one they bought with the £15 million we paid them for Ings.

Knows where the net is, has explosive pace and power in his shots. Still only just 21 a massive ceiling. 

Unfortunately he won't be coming to us. Yea it's a big fee but it would probably be paid over the course of his contract, even at £12 million a season it's good business. We'd probably sell in 2-3 seasons for a profit... 

Or we could just keep signing tge likes of Ings and Füllkrug... Summer we should have done it... 

[LJC]

For £40m we could have David & Gomes

Madness.

That’s where I am with it. As much as I want him to come, if we’ve got £60m to spend we could get 3 players that would improve our first 11 and then add in a couple of loans and we would look a hell of a lot better. All we’ve done is show our hand to everyone.

That div jinxed reckons the deal is not dead and more talks tomorrow and the player wants to come.
