Barcelona believe he is too green to promote to the 'A' team, and are prepared to put him out on loan with an option to buy.

It's said that Betis are interested, but an article I have seen in Spanish says that the Real Betis coach has ruled out getting him. Top TOP prospect if Bilic could get him!!!

Having seen the photos of the team at the airport in Malta, it worries me that we are persisting with virtually the same team that struggled to break down Birkirkara in the first leg. It looks like Slavan Bilic is staying with the same team (less Sakho) meaning we will be slow in midfield again (Nolan and Noble) and slow to go forward with Miaga up front and then presumably Lee later on.
I can understand him wanting to protect and prepare his first team for the season ahead but a 1-0 lead away from home and having seen West Ham slip so many times I for one am not confident that we are going to remain in the Europa Cup with fielding so many players who lets face it, wont see much first team action this coming season.
I just hope a week later they are fitter and we at least win!!! Thoughts? am I the only one not that confident?

The Argentinian attacking midfielder 'Manuel Lanzini' has apparently signed on loan for a year from Al Jazira. How many more will be coming and who do you think we will now sell?

Anyone going to this one? Payet and Sakho not eligible for Malta game, so good chance they will get another run out. Several ex West Ham youngsters, including George Moncur in the U's squad.

hi every one wonder if you are in agreement with me that Bobby Moore should be on the new 20 pound note i think votes have to be in today !

Blimey, Daily Telegraph is saying Carroll won't be ready until Mid-October. We need to get someone else in surely now if true. Looks like Payet is a good find from today's game.

So the draw for the next round is out. Still a long way to go but should we play Astra in Romania would anyone of you guys go on a tour and watch the game live. As some of you know I live in Bulgaria and I'm holding my breath for us to play Astra. Should we play them how on earth would I receive my ticket back in Bulgaria if they're released on General Sale 4 days before actual game?

Long may it last.

Ok, no formal bids have been offered that I'm aware of so no need to panic just yet.
However after reading of Manure's goalkeeping crisis on the BBC website www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33531333 is there the possibility/danger they could look to us to solver their dilemma?
Adrian proved his worth last season with some excellent performances and should easily retain his status as WH No.1 come the season proper. Would we be able to deflect any advances from the big guns should they come knocking and would he even think of leaving us after such a short spell?
There are still 48 days of the transfer window to go and whilst no-one has come knocking for our has beens we've also, so far, not had anyone come in looking at our first 11 other than Downing who moved for personal reasons.
Should we be worried about Adrian or any others leaving?

I feel my new found enthusiasm for our troops wilting already Signor Bilic!!!!!
