Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

of course, I just mean I reckon if our budget was as high as some people think, deals would be easier to do.

 

That’s fair to a degree but it’s not simply opinions being expressed if you’re honest …

.. people are expressing what they describe as desperation, fear, etc.

Nowt wrong with that, but repeating it constantly makes it less of an opinion and more of an anxiety.

But that's just my opinion.

 

A guy at work is a hammers fan, he's watched every presesson game. He said they've been playing a 343, with bowen and paquetta playing as the 2 behind the striker. Sounds like he still keeps a wider role but will drift inside into pockets of space. My mate said they'll then drop to a back 5 out of possession and almost go 541

 

You were on form last night marra.

 

Everything somebody says is in their opinion, how is it not an opinion if it’s an anxiety? It’s an opinion just a worried one

To say the thread is being ruined for you (not you btw just who said it) because someone else is worried is a bit far

 

nice of them to drop lucumi off

 

People are policing posters again?

 

Top post marra.

Cannot wait for tomorrow stream, sol on Sunday, then the opening day breakfast in the pub at 11 with family and friends...

Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads

 

you still need to sell your bastard house because of the Rene Marc saga man, get in that tent

 

Both sides are doing my head in, go and touch grass people.

 

Don't think there's a stream marra.

 

One thing we now absolutely know about our recruitment is that we will not be bullied either by price or time into taking anyone, if speakman believes the deal isn’t right for us we simply walk away. We did it for two seasons with strikers and we may very well do it with defenders. All we, as supporters, can do is watch and trust that they get it right, nothing to suggest, based on last few years that they’ll get it wrong.

 

Been in a meeting and come back to it again haha

 

Not for those of us in the UK. I'm intending to travel to Botswana to watch it on the tele there I think.

 

I’m not too bothered about what people post on a transfer thread tbh.

But expressing the opinion that we need to sign one/two CBs is just an opinion.

Repeating that opinion daily/ hourly doesn’t make it any better or more valid.

When multiple people are posting the same thing it turns the thread into something other than a transfer rumours thread imo. If, after days or weeks of anxiety over signings, we announce one it’s all been unnecessary desperation and dozens of similar posts.

My opinion is that I’d like us to sign one, if not two, CBs …

… and that's my opinion until further notice.

 

Amen to that.

 

Okay. People can post it as much as they like this is the transfer thread and right now we only really need CBs so people are going to say it and the longer it goes on the more worrying it becomes

 

People can post what they want like? leave it at that

 

From a WBA fan page


Bologna are in advanced talks to sign West Brom’s Torbjørn Heggem.

An initial €6m bid was rejected, but #WBA now want €8m + €2m bonuses.

A 4-year deal is being discussed, with optimism he’ll replace Lucumí.

Negotiations “going in the right direction.”
