I love the way some people have decided the board suddenly are clueless about transfers!!! This same board brought in huddlestone, livermore, ben arfa, rameriez and the like, very very good deals (despite how they played). Same board also saw the sales of long, ince, chester and brady at market value or better rather then get hammered by other boards.

I have no doubts those overly criticalof the boards transfer dealings have negotiated many million pounds worth of complex business deals.

I agree, not606 doesn't get the credit it deserves.

You don't know that, unless you know all the clauses, wages, instalments...etc you have no idea how good the deals were, your just saying they did well to bring in big names.
 
Why don't we just pay them the bloody money? £7m for a goal return like he had last season is where I expected his price to be anyway.

We **** around so much I find it irritating. We could have done this earlier and had them in time ready to play this Saturday - now we won't have either and we seem hell bent on screwing up the chances of signing either.

The Brentford owner is a wealthy man and also a fan of the club, clearly he doesn't need to sell. The price for Gray is the price. Unlike most of our players, Gray still has a lot of time to run on his contract.

Some of you should try and find a job for the club, the amount of time spent on here posting messages about if 21 year old boys are going to sign for your team is a bit worrysome. If they sign they will sign, if they don't. Who cares!!!!

West Ham transfer news: Hammers chase Hull City striker Nikica Jelavic

West Ham United are set to make a move for Hull City forward Nikica Jelavic as they look to solve their striker crisis.

The Hammers are sweating on the fitness of their stars this summers as Enner Valencia's knee injury has ruled him out for 12 weeks.

Andy Carroll is also a cause for concern having been sidelined for the majority of the summer missing their Europa League qualifiers through injury.

Now Slaven Bilic is looking to address the issue and make a signing before the season opener against Arsenal this weekend.

The Croatian boss is hopeful of tying up a deal for Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, but he is now thought to be looking at compatriot Jelavic.

The player is believed to be interested in a switch to remain in the top flight of English football.

Hull City were relegated from the Premier League last term on the last day of the season and will now be looking to sell some of their highest earners.

have they looked at his injury record?
 
I think he'll be fine. His injury record was fime before last season wasn't it? He just desperately wanted to play before he was fully fit every time and we kept letting him, which was a gamble that backfired. I think he's fit now and the injury is behind him.

It's the kind of player he is, which is why it'll be a good thing if we can keep him.
 
Torino bid for Hernandez?

Torino have reportedly made a fresh approach for Hull City striker Abel Hernandez and are monitoring Danubio defender Fabricio Formiliano.

Tuttosport believe that the Granata made an offer to Hull yesterday and are now awaiting a response.

Although no figures have been quoted, the paper believes that the deal is likely to be for a loan with compulsory purchase clause.

It is also believed that the Tigers will not want to make a heavy loss on the €12m they spent on the Uruguayan a year ago.

Toro are also believed to be preparing a bid for centre-back Formiliano according to Tuttosport, and the 22-year-old could cost around €3m.

If we keep the current squad plus gray and obudaju or however its spelt. We'll be a really strong contender to win the championship.

I can see us going for this. Although it's a loan strictly speaking it isn't and a compulsory loan is just a way of Toro spreading the costs to next year to comply with FFP. With this being in the Torino based sports daily if say their sources will be tight.

with Steve (cant get the ball outta our own half) Bruce?
yeah we're more likely to be playing Rochdale than Chelsea next season
