West Ham Online

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

I Like him a lot but unless its a proper transfer i wouldnt bother, doubt he wants to come to us wuthout european football.

KWP will be announced in the next few days.

I remember saying that we needed to replace Coufal some time ago and was shot down by Goose saying that we had a right back in AWB and therefor didn’t need to replace him. Just goes to show what he knows.

Still obsessed with me I see.
Ignoring your lies, the conversation was about what’s the priority. I said given our budget restraints I would focus on a few other positions first.

and we’ve just dropped a big wage and signing on fee on a squad player.

the glaring holes in midfield and upfront and at centre back still remain.

Not obsessed with you ffs, just responding to your attack at that time. I knew it gonna happen, for anyone who knows even just a little bit about football it was obvious he needed replacing. Turns out I was right and you were wrong again.

How many clubs are lining up to sign Coufal since he became a free agent? Not even Fulham who apparently wanted hin in January

That's just it: I don't think KWP is a better player than Coufal at right-back or Emerson at left-back.

Grealish at Villa was allowed to be the creative hub of the team
At City he is asked to be a cog in Pep’s machine & forget most of his creativity 
He needs to be a big fish in a smaller pool
We are the sort of tepid paddling pool that would suit him
Be surprised if it happened 

The Grealish version at Villa I liked, the one that can barely scored these days in recent seasons I'm not keen on at all. If he regained his old form it would be a positive signing if the deal was right. Attracted by the bright lights of London would playboy Jack still have the hunger to perform and not be easily distracted? It's questionable.

I would absolutely fucking love us to sign Grealish.

Class player, class lad, thick as pigshit but would give me a reason to do that fucking slog of a walk in no mans land from the station.

Not surprised some of you librarians are turning your nose up though. Boring cunts.

Party Jack. And coming to London. Isn't really a sound idea. Not if you want a professional football player. 

If Grealish is on a wage subsidised loan in addition to a younger midfielder, and not instead of, I can get on board. He’s the sort of player we’ve always loved. Someone who gets you off your feet. Different generation but we signed Di Canio at 30.

Walker-Peters is clearly a smart signing for free when we have a limited budget, for all the reasons detailed. Experienced, covers both sides, allows AWB to play on the back three. 28 is not old, and is an upgrade on Coufal who it seems some were happy to give another deal to at nearly 33…
 

Wouldn't surprise me if Kwp becomes a fixture in the 1st 11 with Awb playing in the back 3 which could allow a CB to be sold to bring some money in
 

Anyone know how to get support for coinbase?

Can hear Sullivan now “you get 3 picks Potter and I will get the rest for you and you’re nerdy mate Kyle, look at them as my gifts to you. I know my onions when it comes to football and recruitment and transfers. Im still the best there is”.   “That Macaulay geezer and his spreadsheets, data analysis, he’s clueles”

Unless it’s a loan with MC paying a bit chunk of wages, I wouldn’t go near Grealish.
Plus we have Summerville & Guilherme in that position.

much rather we use our budget on sorting the spine of the team.

Spot on.

Grealish is a typical Sullivan “bling” or “razzle dazzle” signing. Old, played for a big club and was an England international etc.  like buying a fully loaded 2003 Masserati with 200,000 on the clock but with an electric blue metallic respray… “blinding it is”. Big shot Sullivan. 

After starting well bringing in a 20yo first teamer to help lower the age of our Dads Army Squad, we then look to immediately bring in a 28yo and a 30yo next season, having just lost a 24yo attacker. We never fucking learn.

No new news about Rocco Reitz?

Coufal wanted to leave to play first-team football.

He actually wanted to join Fulham in January.
