I looked at Lallana’s minutes earlier today and I wouldn’t consider him a “regular”. And he might be coming purely as a coach or coach / backup

I don’t really believe the Ings links

Fair, I just aimed to exclude the players who got a couple appearances. And if we're bringing Lallana in mostly as a coach, I'd rather that we pay him like a coach, rather than getting 10x as much to be a player (and that's assuming he takes a significant wage cut).
 
Bad for us that Moyes is gone. Pretty much dead cert we’d have signed him otherwise as Moyes just didn’t seem to rate him. New manager will give him a chance you’d think, and as a West Ham fan, Downes will want to stay and play himself into the team there if he is given the chance.
West Ham fans are looking forwards to his return, we don't think he got a fair crack of the whip under Moyes because he's 5ft8 and Soucek is 6ft5. As much as I love Tommy because he's good at getting in the way of the opposition and scoring, he's a bit limited with the ball at his feet which stops attacks before they've had a chance to start. Downes is far better in that regard.
 
Centre back links point towards 3 at the back being used more next season. Don’t see us spending 20m on another one though.

Think an enquiry about Joe Rodon wouldn’t be the worst idea. Seems like Spurs don’t want him so can’t imagine he’d be massively expensive

Definitely makes sense to keep him around with Bazunu injury. Can see us offering him a one year deal where he stays as number one until Bazunu is fit at least, then depending how he’s been playing possibly the rest of the season.

Whether he would want that is another matter, I know he looks really old but don’t think he’s as old as you’d think, like 33 maybe? Still got a few years left as a keeper

Yeah 1 yr deal as No1 until Bazunu is back. However, I am pretty sure for security he will want a 3 yr deal and will get it elsewhere.

Not moaning as that is what I would do in his position. However, the last few weeks have made us thankful we did have him.
