As far as JWP concerned. If he was forest's player and offered to us on loan til the end of the season, i think most of us would be happy with that. I don't know what happened with him. He started off really brightly and it seemed like his head dropped, maybe cos of Moyesball or maybe he'll always be a one club player. I think just do minimum business now. A couple in to cover the injury situation.

[Massive Attack]

Vieira would have more chance of getting a tune out of an actual Ice cream cornet than our Cornet melt.

[Manuel]

From Romano 

EXCL: Genoa agree deal to sign Maxwell Cornet as new winger on loan from West Ham. Verbal agreement in place with #WHUFC for winger who’s set to work under Patrick Vieira.

[John Coffey]

Silva is 29 and has hardly scored in the last 3 years. Sounds like a great fit for us.

David is 25 and scores regularly. If we could persuade him to join us it would be a massive coup, but is he suited to the centre forward role?

Agree re Silva. Seems like another non scoring striker. But probably only on a loan deal anyway.
David is a much better option, but are we actually looking at spending any money in this window? 

[Iron Duke]

Silva is 29 and has hardly scored in the last 3 years. Sounds like a great fit for us.

[fraser]

Not a fan of JWP either, was happier about him leaving than I was about signing him. 

But maybe in a different system he can change my opinion of him. 

[Manuel]

Not a fan of JWP but happy to see him come back based on the old everyone has a fresh start under a new manager.

Fancy there are some legs in Andre Silva, seems to tick the boxes.

[DukeofDevo]

Good News if we get Ward Prowse back

[Lato]

Oooops my bad, he is already on it....doh!

[Lato]

You can add Kristjan Asllani to that list. Can't find out much about him apart from he is an Albanian international midfielder, currently with Inter Milan and is highly rated by them.

Anyone else got a scooby about this fella?

[ragingbull]

I don't want that taiwo one. He looks shit, I'm always right about these things.

 

I agree.

[DukeofDevo]

Please not Callum Wilson

[honky cat]

I don't want that taiwo one. He looks shit, I'm always right about these things.

West Ham moving in for Inter Milan midfielder – Struggling with Serie A club this season

By Kaustubh Pandey

After their win over Fulham yesterday, West Ham rose to 12th in the Premier League.

The Hammers’ target would be qualification for European places and that might take some signings in January. There is now an indication that Graham Potter’s side could already be looking to bring in a midfielder this month.

InterLive have reported today that the player in question is Inter Milan’s Kristjan Asllani, who is struggling to make an impact at the Italian champions. He’s had an inconsistent few weeks and has been criticised for his performances.

That is why Inter are not ruling out an exit this month and in the meantime, West Ham have ‘made their voices heard’ for the 22-year-old Albanian midfielder.

Asllani is in demand in Italy and abroad, as there is interest from both Fiorentina and Torino and they have already tried to land him.

West Ham have been handed encouragement in the move, because the report states that Inter already have a plan to replace the Albania international. A move for Samuele Ricci will make it easier for them to let go of Asllani.

Tottenham and West Ham move in for Barcelona player – 2 PL offers arrive, decent success chance

By Naveen Ullal

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are in the mix to sign Barcelona’s Ansu Fati.

That’s according to Sport, who state the winger is expected to leave the La Liga side in the winter market.

Hansi Flick has left the 22-year-old out of the squad for last three games, and Barcelona are considering letting him leave on loan.

Tottenham and West Ham are interested in bringing him back to the Premier League even though he struggled during his loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion last season. The two Premier League sides are looking to improve their attack in January.

New Hammers manager Graham Potter will be without Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug due to injuries while Spurs missed out on signing Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Munai on loan to Juventus.

Sport point that out and add Tottenham’s defeat to Arsenal in the north London derby has only ‘triggered tension’ and the club will be looking for reinforcements in January.

The report’s summary claims Fati has received two offers from the Premier League, while Tottenham and West Ham are the only two English clubs mentioned in the report.

With Barcelona willing to let the forward leave on loan, the deal could go through if the London clubs can convince Fati.

Mario Lemina wants to leave this window… how long before we are linked…

[Fauxstralian]

We are all in no position to be paying £25m ( whatever the fee so far) for players who might develop in 2 years time
Obviously shouldn’t be buying 31yo’s like the German but I’d be happier looking at 21-23yo’s from the Championship say who have a few years playing against men & hopefully an upside

[goose]

£18m would be crazy, especially if Guido is leaving as well. I know which one I’d rather get rid of.

I can understand flogging the Brazilian kid if the money is right. He’s not going to get a look in with Bowen & Kudus & Summerville ahead of him.

[LJC]

Don’t know if it’s been changed or I just had too many but looked back at it and they have offered £18m and he doesn’t want to go. My mistake.

[LJC]

It was on KUMB but from one of our old posters who i know has a few contacts in the club.

[Takashi Miike]

any idea who's rumour that is? one of sullivan's puppets? the little cսnt seems desperate to cash in again in january, despite a new manager just walking through the door.

[LJC]

Rumours that Alvarez has agreed to join Monaco but they have offered £18m. We can’t allow him to go for that surely?

[LJC]

I reckon we will go all out for Guessand and silva will also come in and then a random Chelsea midfielder and that will be the ins done.

[Keep dreaming]

Probably right, but rather him than the Nottingham player

[stubbo-admin]

Yuri Alberto being mentioned various places. 

Well he's been on great form, and doesn't their season finish in December? Can't see it though.... Steidten identified him.
