    Suspect Norwich will resist or want more.

    I nearly froze to death that night. There was so much space in the stands because of a low attendance that you didn't even have the benefit of the body heat from those around you to keep you warm.

    I would think West Ham will have to increase that bid, probably double it at least. Proven premier league strikers that are English don't go for four million. Its a bit of a disgusting offer tbh. So its hard to judge our offer for j rod to that one but Holt must be worth more.

    Not just age, but resale. Holt is probably a sunk cost from the second you purchase him, Rodriguez is young enough that -- even if he proves to be a less-than-spectacular fit, but not appalling -- a team could recoup a decent chunk of that transfer fee.

    to think holt and rickie were in the same rochdale team 6 years ago- and there are people on here saying buying players that at 23 are still in league1 or the championship is a waste of money. potentially holt and rickie are worth around 20 million today

    That has to be the crux of the discussion. His age. Personally, I think he would have to do it again this season to prove it wasn't a flash in the pan effort.

    Kuyt's gone to Fenerbahce, presumably for a far higher salary than we would ever pay, so that puts that annoying suggestion to bed. Liverpool possibly after Sigurdsson :(

    Heard Kuyt expressed his DELIGHT at joining the Turkish outfit.

    We need quality defenders with pace , we will score goals but we will ship far too many with our current defence .

    When the Rodriguez signing is made official, will we all shut up about Hooper?

    There will be other targets already lined up and we don't know for certain that he was a target. No news from the club to say he is or otherwise which is the norm nowadays.

    How the **** many strikers do West Ham need??!! It's already looking like a massive EU striker mountain. Absolutely clueless - I would be gutted if I was a West ham fan, as they are heading down a blind alley, and going to end up screwed financially. I give Big Sam three months, and he's gone.

    Won't happen. Jay is coming.

    Joe:

    Yes. I think I'd rather have Jay than Gary anyway.

    I don't think rodriguez is a done deal yet. It depends on how greedy he is and how flexible we are.

    We won't blowdown to money grabbers.

    He wanted too much last summer which is why the deal never happened.

    No. The deal never happened last summer because we never had a bid accepted.
