Think the last link was Fabrice Hawkins saying Bournemouth weren't signing him and we are 'pushing'Was the only link to Diakite the Mercato one?
Although I’ve heard good things I don’t think CB is a good place to have an 18 year old, especially the pressure we’ll be under this year.Vuskovic available for loan, potential CB?
Loan Vuskovic and buy a centre back who is older and in their prime. We need two anyway imoAlthough I’ve heard good things I don’t think CB is a good place to have an 18 year old, especially the pressure we’ll be under this year.
This is probably why we’re taking so long because it’s the position we are trying to get players who are in their prime age (25-30)
Lucumi and diakite would be the dream, I’m sure the club know that CB has been the most important position since the beginning and have set aside a big portion of the budget towards it. They would probably cost over £60 mil together but it would be money well spent imo.I’m still convinced we’re in for diakite
reports were Bournemouth pulled out and we were intensifying talks a couple weeks ago and been no reports about him from other clubs or us since
probably means it’s one we’re still trying for imo
Looked like they were pretty firm on the €40m asking price which I'm guessing put us offHas anything else been reported about Diakite or does it look like he’s staying at Lille
Tbf we had allegedly bid like 33m from those same sources, maybe not miles off.Looked like they were pretty firm on the €40m asking price which I'm guessing put us off
Agree, it's a very important addition for usCalmest I’ve been about our recruitment ever especially with how links can come from nowhere at any time but I am getting a little twitchy on the centre halves, think aslong as one is in by mid next week they should be fine for West Ham provided they’ve had a pre season
Doesn’t help that one of the consistent links all summer plays for West HamAgree, it's a very important addition for us

All the value in that deal is foratm I can't see us spending 40m
give it a couple of seasons and we are most established then yes,
Not sure any of them could be haha, Triantis linked away and missed last couple games due to it (I think). Seelt has a minor knock, Hjelde is out for the first 3 PL gamesIf Triantis, Seelt and Hjelde are a central three against Augsburg we could see mast hysteria break out![]()

Southampton. And quite right too. They have brought the player up .

Surely we get him here do the medical and signing and put him up in the hylton for couple days if needs beI might be stating the bleeding obvious here mind. Apologies. Whilst the weather may have been ok yesterday to fly, if he was due a return flight today then a delay may well have been warranted.
