May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.
Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?
Window this close season comes in two parts:
Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September
Leicester star in advanced talks with West Ham regarding transfer
A Leicester City star is said to be in 'advanced talks' regarding a prospective transfer to Premier League side West Ham United. This supposed update has emerged following a report stating LCFC were content to allow the Fox in question to leave the East Midlands. Who is the mystery man? Do we advocate a sale here? And is an agreement foreseeable? Let's see.
Leicester City resigned to letting standout player or two exit this summer?
Leicester are either happy, or being forced, to relinquish up to two of their outstanding assets. That's the general belief of most experts or journalists who have commented on the situation on Filbert Way.
Again, not to bore you, but Mads Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss are the obvious pair we are speaking of. West Ham are actually reportedly eyeing up both Foxes talents, if we can trust speculation surrounding supposed events here.
Unfortunately Foxes of Leicester must reluctantly champion one or two sales in this instance. Usually one star would be sold over the offseason, and even that scenario is hard for Leicester's Blue Army fan base to stomach.
Though surely the majority of us supporters would understand if El Khannouss and Hermansen both leave. That eventuality is preferable to LCFC suffering further financial problems, uncertainty or woe.
LCFC Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen apparently involved in discussions regarding possible switch back to Premier League with West Ham United
It isn't El Khannouss. The Hammers appear to be getting closer to signing the Dane. I will pass on this message to the WHUFC support: you're potentially buying real quality here.
"We believe advanced talks between West Ham and Leicester are taking place to solve the transfer of Mads Hermansen. Leicester are looking for a fee in the region of £35million. West Ham might be more eager to pay £20million. We just have to wait and see were this lands."
TCF, 'A TRUSTED SOURCE' FOR LCFC NEWS
The only issue West Ham will likely endure going forward is big six clubs attempting to prise Hermansen away for themselves. However, with Hermansen's groin injury, Leicester's tough negotiating and the East Londoners ostensibly having other 'keeper targets, a deal is still yet to be reached.

Sir Alf - I do enjoy your posts. Douglas Bader and Fatty Arbuckle....unusually when famous people are mentioned, I know who you're talking about!

Some of you will I am sure have seen this off Hammers chat but it's a little revelation (from Antonio) about how he was signed by West Ham. Very revealing as to the Sullivan and Salthouse relationship and how he doesn't give a shit what his managers actually want. It's quite funny but at the same time very depressing.
I've set it to start at 20.50 when that part starts but just in case. It's at 20 mins 50 secs
Unlike goose I take advantage of opportunities to see other teams play, unlike goose and many others on here I know what I’m talking about.
talk me through all the Parma games you watched last season then...............

You would think with the season 2 weeks away there would be a sense of urgency to get at least 1 central midfielder, a keeper that can handle crosses and not play like Douglas Bader with the ball on the deck and a striker under 35 that can run faster than Fatty Arbuckle?
The self professed ITKs and countless web sites and media outlets are all throwing out names of players we are about to sign.
I suspect, in true Sullivan style, that we will not be bringing anyone else in until the last week of the window as “penny wise, pounds foolish” Sully, the man who’s forward planning and thinking struggles to get beyond the tip of his nose, holds out to try and secure loans rather than purchases or believe he can get a last minute derisory bid accepted or get the selling club to accept poor terms and/or conditions ( long installment schedule, add on in fee that is unachievable etc). And of course, wait until the death in the hope of selling as many of the players as possible even though no one is interested. Even if they are interested, Sully will ask for an unrealistoc fee before “chickening out” and accepting a loss on the player as he usually does ( exception - Rice ).
In summary, I expect us to start the season with just Diouf, KWP as additions. Wilson will be announced in the last week under the cover of another deal.
Potter will likely start the season without the squad changes needed imo. Its not pessimistic really and amost West Ham fans will be dreading this scenario and not be surprised if it plays out this way.
I stopped reading after transfer urgency. When has that ever been important for Sullivan (expect when he can pocket money though...)?

I only saw Cooper in the play off final, and he was the reason they didn't go up. It was a very weak shot to let in.
Also if 'feet thinks he's superb, then I have even more reservations about him.
That's because you are a prick.
I have seen him 4 times live and countless times on TV and he is a very good keeper.
Unlike you I leave my bedroom and see the light of day.
you leave the house to watch sheffield united?

This is a list of all clients on the Unique Sports roster which is Will Salthouse I predict we will end up with Che Adams up front at some point in the future. Just scroll down the page.
I see we're being linked with Fabio Viera of the Arse...
He is under Gestifute - Jorge Mendes the Portugeezer super agent.
I also checked out Barry Silkman but it looks like he has retired and dissolved his company and the same with Willie McKay but in his case it was due to the fallout of the Emiliano Sala case. I mean, booking a handglider to fly over the Bay of Biscay in the dead of night... What's the worst that could happen?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Hermanson. The club have seemingly put in a lot of work to get him to the club, like getting his old coach.
Same but then the salthouse connection…
it’s proper Sullivan to let the club prepare for hermanson then let his mate pull his pants down at the last minute and shit all over his staff’s plans
Oh, and Cooper is likely cheaper as well, so Sullivan is probably unzipping his flies over the prospect of lining his mate and his pockets AND saving 5-10 million in the process.
