Surely questions are being asked why the club did not stomp up the extra money Villa wanted for striker Duran. The man is on fire and can score goals from all over the field. If Villa wanted £40m in the summer. They will want £60m now.
Why was the money not paid? Did someone truly not fancy him? Missing out on a signing like Duran could be what costs us a return to Europe.

Adama Traoré mainly this guy as i think he will avoid Bissaka and give Emerson big problems with his pace and power so boys is anyone brave enough in our squad to stick one on him early doors to slow him down? of course Alvarez wont have a problem with that lol but jeeez he needs to avoid the bookings mounting up again.
Madness you say but this weekends game at Fulham is a big one and i do not want to see him doing his usual hold onto the ball in tight areas only to get a clip fall over and writhe in pain all the while the refs letting the game go on.....and the times he tries to keep the ball in stupid areas and gets robbed and puts the back four under real pressure.....So for me start Kudus on the right Bowen in the middle Summerville on the left and lets see what Soler or another can do.....it might just Piss off Pacman enough for him to perform coming on as a sub stop his sulking and show us why everyone raves about him so much.....Because for me all he is doing is treading water till the FA stop dithering and either ban him or drop the charges and once that's all done he will be on the blower to Pep to please come and get me.
International week so more booooos so has anyone got any recommendations for films to look at and no boys not THOSE kind!
So i have seen "The Killer" and "Duchess" recently both with strong female actors but clearly not films for when kids are about but and with no Spoilers please do you boys have anymore i could take a look at.
Oh and please not a "ROM COM" pass the bucket please.
It's international break boooo well hears a little something to cheer you boys up my Dads favourite West Ham Player and i only wish i had been around to see him play in the flesh but Youtube does help at times.
Has anybody here used this method of buying tickets for a game and is it as easy as it makes out?

West Ham United have just completed what many are claiming is the club's BEST transfer activity in the last window for many a year, but could it have been so much better? The fact that the club had to send out over £100 Million of 'talent' out on loan does rather cast an ill light on who was in control of those expensive imports.
Famed for his due diligence ahead of player purchases, ex-Hammers boss 'Dithering Dave' Moyes seems to have had a mighty ricket with the purchases of the above mentioned players, delve back further and Nikola Vlasic rears his ugly head as well.
Having had the transfer 'kitty' well and truly decimated by Manuel Pellegrini ahead of his arrival, it was assumed Moyes would bring a much calmer approach to transfers, but the figures don't lie and for every success he had at least two failures!
Heavens fobid if he had been allowed to bring in Harry Naguire and Scott Mc Tominay as he had originally planned!
Hammers can now look forward to a more balanced and less ego driven policy whereby the manager 'suggests' players he wants and a PROPR director of football goes out and gets them!-Ed
So. After the uninspiring victory over AFC Bournemouth last night. What did we learn. Or more importantly. What did J Lo learn?
I think Coufal is now a spent force. All he seemed to want to do was look for a backwards pass. Wan-Bissaka looks mustard. Todibo looks like he needs a few games but he has pace. His withdrawl at HT highlighted how vulnerable we are defensively to attacking pace with Mavrapanos & Coufal defending down the right. Alvarez was Alvarez. Dogged and determined. JWP & Soucek contribute absolutely nothing to the team in open play. Summerville looks like he will be a threat when he finds his fight. Though his preference to drive at defenders rather than cross the ball is not going to do any favours to our German striker Fullkrug. Rodriguez was a worthy replacement for Alvarez. Dropping JWP and Soucek for Paqueta & Kudus is a must. But keep Summerville out wide on the left. He could be a great foil for Emerson. Eould a 4-1-4-1 suit? Still work to be done but when this team click. Things could happen.
