A transfer request towards the end of the window might force west hams hand, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that happened.
One obvious issue, say in the last week of the window we sign one of Akliouche or Paqueta or whoever, there will be a section of our fanbase who will jump on the club for signing a last minute target, which usually also has them waiting for a mistake so they can kick off This ignores the fact Akliouche has drifted in and out of our focus since the start of the window, as he was first linked as an alternative to Kudus and/or Xavi Simons which indicates we've done our diligence there, while in the case of Paqueta not only does he have PL experience it's a little hard trying to write him off as the cheapo option nobody wanted given the Mansourites bungled signing him a couple of years ago and Villa are reportedly also watching him But it's not like facts and truth are in the Lunatic Fringe's wheelhouse at the best of times...
This is almost certainly going to be the case, I said last week Eriksen on a free will arrive just before we have to submit the squads to the FA and UEFA.
if we are going the raid the Spammers for what meagre riches they possess, why don't we do a proper job and get Wan Bissaka as well on the cheap as our Porro back-up?
Genuinely wonder if there was any point in the window where signing El Khannouss wouldn't cause a degree of friction If we signed him early in the window, the complaints would be he wasn't a starter...even though PL football has been a squad game for yonks at this point If we signed him as soon as Maddison went down, the complaints would be he was an unambitious replacement If we signed him in the last week of the transfer window, the complaints would be he was a panic buy Have to wonder if Paqueta might fall into the exact same issue
Mike MgGrath says Gala are in talks for Bissouma. Loan with obligation. Edit: Ali Gold has literally just verified the claim too.
Still don’t get why we didn’t snap up KWP. We’ve got three available CG spots for CL and could probably offer him similar amounts of game time as to what West Ham will be anyway.
Various lower tier sources so take with salt etc saying we’re gonna make a move for Paqueta. Surely West Ham won’t sell us another key player? Huge kick in the bollocks for them if we get him on top of Kudus. I wouldn’t say no to Paqueta but I really hope the club pulls a rabbit out of the hat and goes for Rogers. Rogers would be elite under Frank, I’d have taken him over MGW.
We’re going to make a move? wonder what we waiting for all things considered sounds like a load of crock to me
The journos and so called ITKs can’t even stand by their made up rubbish anymore! I’ve noticed these woolly words to cover their backs now being used more and more all summer.
