i posted about spending on quality before. i wasn't implying we necessarily had to spend huge amounts although i do think its time we started to do so if required with the guaranteed new income of the new stadium etc. however defoe and johnson are being mentioned. to me, these two would be good signings. both are proven premier league players, both will not need anytime to settle either into the football or the country. defoe will slot in upfront and would be great to see feeding off the service from payet and lanzini. johnson is a no brainer, no nonsense solid right back who provides good attacking service too. we also linked with hogan. tbh i personally know nothing about him or how brentford are playing. however i do like the sound of a lower league english striker as opposed to someone from overseas. i think dembele is a non starter. if I'm not mistaken he's only recently signed at celtic and is in their first team? i simply don't think the owners would offer nearly enough. so in my view if you tell me that we will sign three players: defoe, johnson and hogan id be well pleased with those who i think would add to the first team and hogan being the wild card.
Cant disagree with that dicksy!
We could spend a lot of money on the likes on unproven players,or like you say relatively small amounts on the 3 players above...ive got a feeling defoe will come to us,but its going to take a bid of around 15 mill imo...yes it is a lot of money for someone who is 34,but he knows where the onion bag is & thats the most important thing imo...johnson- we desperately need a right back & at a million its an absolute no brainer!As for hulk hogan,hes worth a punt!!
When you think we could of
When you think we could of ended up with fishermans friend for 25 mil,getting them 3 for around 30 mil would seem like a bargin I surpose,i wonder if defo will hand in a transfer ;)
I can see that coming!
Defoe will jump at the chance to come back to the hammers imo,& how ironic would that be-he puts in a transfer request!!the mackems will be spitting feathers!!
why oh why oh why
do we keep putting low bids in? Snodgrass from hull we made a £3million bid which was rejected well surprise surprise..ffs he may have turned down contract offer from hull and have I think 18months left on his current deal so what makes us think we could get him for £3million...its a dumb bid it makes us look pathetic IMO...are we doing it so we can look active in the market without actually getting anyone...as for the £20million offered for dembele at celtic well its been reported no such bid has been made...so the usual west ham transfer tactics carrying over from the summer...lot of noise no substance
Totally
agree
very close to signing striker
very close to signing striker Scott Hogan
offer made
for Fonte around £4million just to see if Southampton interested.....manure/poo were after him as well so I reckon we have little or no chance with any kinda deal especially one of our low bid specials
4 million eh?
Nice to see we are splashing the cash!!
He'd probably want that in
He'd probably want that in wages!!!
