I've been to two Lazio games in December 2024 Europa Cup v a Bulgarian outfit 0-0, and then Lazio v Roma and ended up in the Curva Sud with the Roma fans, September 21st 2025

The galling part about all this early successful January signings is Sullivan only acts when he shits himself losing his Premier League golden ticket. When we've been in decent positions under previous managers to kick on turn of the year chasingthe top 4, the cսnt sits on all the cash preferring to settle with what we've got spending fuck all. Sums his reign of terror right up the tight fisted little wanker.  

[eusebiovic]

I always thought scrappy doo was massively overpaid but £350 million a week? @ eusebiovic

 

 

Yeah, stupid me but you know what I meant

[Far Cough UKunt]

Don't want the runs like a girl cսnt.

[RBshorty]

Jacob Steinberg claiming Stirling ain’t interested.?

Here’s hoping.!

[El Scorchio]

Sterling would obviously be the ‘one of mine for one of yours’ for Sullivan as he always has to have. 

[eusebiovic]

Got a couple of lazio shirts recently.  Total cost of £16

anyway, not happy with this raheem stirling rumour.  Never liked the cսnt

 

 

If it was a match fit, motivated Raheem Stirling with something to prove then it might of been worth it a couple of years ago. He's barely played for 2-3 seasons and he's on £350,000 bags a week. Also he made he first team debut at 16 years old. Those type of ex-whizz kids are usually burnt out by their 30th birthday so are best given a wide berth.

Exactly the kind of razzle dazzle signing we've come to expect. I'd be very wary but then I thought that of Jack Grealish but he's done well at Everton. 

I still think Sterling is a huge Kalvin Phillips type risk for very little return.

Hmmm

All going on today.

Two strikers in would be amazing but I'll believe it when I see it.

Two strikers plus Traore and Sterling would be decent business alongside getting our money back on Guillherme.

A decent centre half on loan would also be good.

[southbankbornnbred]

He’ll go to a lesser league, possibly where he speaks the language and will settle quicker, where you get more time and space on the ball, and he’ll do well.

Then some people will wang on about how we never got a tune out of him etc.

But the fact is we overspent on a young player who, up to now, has never been Premier League level.

We aren’t going to miss him. He’s contributed almost nothing to West Ham.

Good luck to him in the future. Hope he does well below Prem standard.

 

 

It’ll be like when we let Ajeti go. He went to Celtic, then Basel, and scored a few goals in a couple of pub leagues - and some of our fans thought we’d let go a world talent.

[Ron Eff]

I predict Guilherme to be successful in Portugal, with Pablo scoring zero in the Premier League and maybe barely kicking a ball. 

My rationale being the Portuguese league is shit. Gyokeres and Amorim should tell you that. 

That said, hopefully he turns out to be as good as Jota.

I think Guilherme may turn out to be a decent player 

Not a trick question, based on what? 

[El Scorchio]

100% he becomes a player and we will all be wondering why we were never able to get a thing out of him. 

[Fauxstralian]

I think Guilherme may turn out to be a decent player but as a club we aren’t and haven’t been in a position to pay £25m for someone ‘for the future’
Are we smart enough to have a buy back or sell on if he is going ?
Need to use the funds for someone who can play NOW 

[Far Cough UKunt]

Traore used to scare me when we played Wolves but I have come to realise he's all fur coat and no knickers. 

Prove me wrong, Adama.

[El Scorchio]

Yup. He HAS to be accounted for in a way Summerville or Paqueta just don’t when out on the wing. And you have to put a strong or pacy player on him which creates opportunities elsewhere on the pitch. Aside from Bowen we don’t have a single player like that. Even if he just runs around and stretches play without the ball it’ll have a positive effect for us. 

[zico]

As Goose says probably a couple of years too late but I would have got Traore in as Antonio's understudy a few years back.  Not a natural forward but neither was Antonio, but he is/was a battering ram who through the middle could have done a similar job.

[bell]

Nothing official from the club anywhere? 
Just YouTubers? 

[fraser]

Looks like Guilherme is off to Sporting Lisbon.

Mendes seems to be working some magic.

Guilherme was a great signing, plenty of potential and in a more successful team may have got the minutes he needed, still got most of our money back so was worth the punt..
