As with all things West Ham when it comes to player acquisitions, the club's tenuous transfer approaches are being 'stonewalled' for various reasons, the 'elephant in the room' being agents fees and low ball offers. As targets drift by the wayside, the cream of the crop are fading away, just like fans's dreams!
As the transfer window closure looms large, expect plenty of 'Hammer negging' from the Press and media, let alone the fans. Reports of the club rekindling their interest in Manchester United's Jesse Lingard are inaccurate because David Moyes has NEVER given up hope of signing the midfielder who is probably now leaning towards an Old Trafford exit.
Many fans do feel that Lingard was a 'busted flush' by the end of his time on loan at the London Bowl and they have a point, but maybe he was just cream crackered as a result of not playing 'proper' games for nearly two years? Unfortunately the Lingard story is the GOOD news, the MAD news is that Martin Braithwaite is threatening to become the 'last turkey at christmas' IF media reports are to be believed.
Well we can tell the Board with alacrity that IF they do sign Braithwaite as striker number 50, they will be inundated with fans wanting to 'defer' their season tickets by one year, as is their right to do due to the pandemic. Braithwaite does fit into the old and past it category much beloved of David Sullivan, he couldn't could he? - LN

Patience is a virtue
Soucek, Coufal, Bowen, Dawson, Benny. Plus many existing players brought on.Perhaps we should wait and pass judgment when the transfer window closes.
Na, i fear your wrong mate
Na, i fear your wrong mate ,we are incredibly thin ,just watching the big guns today will show that ,manua for instance, the stuff they have to work with is unreal ,,a bench that would make up any ordinary team in the prem ,Chelsky even more bloated, 43 man squad of which 10 are on the list never to play for them again and they refuse point blank to let any of them go for under 25 mill ,shitty can buy players fo 100 grand at the drop of a hat .
Its amazingly blunt ,these three or four clubs have an iron fist clamped firmly on the prem and they aint letting go,to me it means the league is bought and paid for by these money pits ,so much for the F A s financial fair play rules ,money rules and the rest of us are left in their exhaust fumes
Highlights and lowlights...
Just watched Yesterdays highlights of every game and every goal and if we're not careful we could be left so far behind if we don't start recruiting players as cover for our regular starting 11....to say we are light is a joke, we could be very desperate within weeks if the inevitable happens with injuries...fingers & toes crossed big time...
Money is the key
My love for the game has slowly diminished,all about pure greed nowadays.The move away from our beloved Boleyn was all to do with money,that's not what football for the working man is about...maybe I'm a dinosaur,but I've got good memories of better times
You
and me both mate
Well said 65,i know i still
Well said 65,i know i still have a season ticket,but i feel the same mate.
I admire all the ST holders who still go
I just won't give another penny to them shysters...love the carpenters before a game,its like the old days,but after that it's an anti climax but each to their own.its funny I read a couple of days ago that sully won't sell to the consortium interested in buying because he reckons that they are only interested in building property...& welcome to the Boleyn Gardens!!
Your right there mate.
