Firstly unless he has requested a transfer why would we sell Pacman for a loss once his names cleared this week(hopefully)..It would make no sense as he has two years left on contract so try and keep him and play the younger lads around him i mean at worse we lose him next summer for a lower fee sure but to lose him with the likes of JWP Rodriguez Soucek being there is surely madness.
Secondly why does Bowen stay? i mean i am happy as Larry that he has(fingers crossed)but could we honestly blame him if a club comes in waving the cash about and he goes...he has been at the club long enough to see the farcical way we are run and winning anything again in my Lifetime and maybe even Louis's to boot! sorry to burst your bubble there Louis but i would like to no what or how many times a day the thought of leaving may cross Bowens mind.
I think Bowen is settled in
I think Bowen is settled in London. New Mrs, a couple of new saucepans. Plus his Father in Law. I think Bowen has reached a status at West Ham, where he is an icon. He's seen Noble and Rice reach that pinnacle and he is fast on their heels to join that club.
I'm not saying he's here for life. But I genuinely think he loves his status. Club Captain and all that bollox.
Rice went, Grealish at Villa was also in that club at the time and eventually went to Citeh. Bowen is young enough, he'll probably last another season then take stock of life.
He knows we are run like a shower of shit, but he is well looked after. Time will tell?
Paqueta is staying put
Unless of course Salthouse has the ideal replacement as in some injury prone old bugger going on a free!
As for Bowen who is out there that needs him? Chelski err no and if he did he'd be getting a shirt number in the hundreds, Gooners ha no they got that silly little bugger everyone reckons is better than Bowen but the stats prove otherwise Spuds his father-in-law would chop his you no whats off at the merest mention and he just strikes me as a player who would not do that to us,Liverpool ahhh nope Manure why? just why would you Citeh don't need him Newcastle have wide players and it may be a good town to party in but otherwise it's to bloody cold so that is a no so unless Bayern Munich come on for him i just do not see who has the cash for him or the place in there squads
Exactly HG and he's well
Exactly HG and he's well looked after here and knows which way his bread is buttered. Where else could he get that security right now?
