    Boring? When Adam, Dejan, Rickie, Callum, Luke & Maurice + a load of staff left it was dreadful. Boring, I kinda like boring.

    (its not exciting this summer, but with the contract extensions it feels stable, I can live with that)

    Maybe we should have had Saint! Threads for all the new contracts. That's genuinely excited me.

    West Ham being West Ham. Good signing, but getting your son to announce it is cringy.

    They might have money but they've got no class.

    Yes. I don't see why that is offensive.

    You seemed a bit offended. To me it just looks like a West Ham supporter excited about a quality new signing.

    It is slightly unprofessional to announce signings via the chairman's sons twitter account.

    very little resale value on that deal though. Not that they care, but just an observation...

    Yes. But no more than that. I think the fact that it's West Ham may be a factor here.

    The whole discussion about 'class' and/or lack of, seems to me to be a very Cockney thing. Anytime I read comments by Hammers or Spurs fans, they seem to be banging on about it.

    Just seems weird that football supporters, of all people, should always be looking to take the moral high ground over one another.
