May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.
Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?
Window this close season comes in two parts:
Part 1: 1st June to 10th June

The fact he was injured for Saturday
Was that ever confirmed by the club? I did wonder if he was already injured considering he was nowhere to be seen in either of the games.

Wilson is the same failed and tested formula that the clubs owners repeat year after year.
For the club, it is the cheaper alternative to give him a shot than to seriously invest in the ST department.
His last pay day. Knows that with lack of competition there is a hi likelihood he will be relied upon this season. Probably be the fittest he has ever been and will chip in with a few goals but that is as good as it gets.
Hoping Fullkrug can stay fit as feel as he may have a big season for us. We need him to or we are fucked.
No point playing Fullkrug without someone alongside him.

I don't think anyone is questioning Wilson's goal-scoring ability.
But West Ham do not get on well with injury-prone players, especially at 33 years old when the desire and ability to recover quickly probably isn't the same as it is when you are 23.
It's all well and good saying: "If he's fit...." but it's the "IF" that make this deal so questionable. In that it's so fucking big.

I hope you're right, but everything about the signing feels wrong. His age, his last season, his injury record, our record with injuries to strikers.
He was a superb player, who knows, we might get lucky. Can't see it personally.
The fact he was injured for Saturday pretty much sums it up, but if he plays and we create chances, he'll score.

Didn't Wilson only score 2 goals in his last 18 months at Newcastle, why would he suddenly score 2 in one game?
Hope he does, just can't see it
He started 2 games last season.
2022-2023 he got 18.
I'd rather we got someone young not at the end of their career, but he does know how to put away chances, we created some great chances on Saturday in the first half, that were made for him.

Indeed it is.
No one in their right mind can be positive/happy about Wilson signing, I'm certainly not.
I'm happy with the other signings though, think we've done some good business.
if Wilson had been playing on Saturday he'd probably have had 2 goals.

I wasn't suggesting you were saying all of that after he had signed?
Anyway, it's a pointless row.

Man City had a 20% sell on clause for Lavia when they sold him to Southampton so maybe he would have gone for less otherwise. I don't think Sporting had that kind of clause with Fernandes.

There was a bidding war for Lavia but they also got good money for Livramento was it £50 million?

I can't see us weighing out anything north of £40mil including unrealistic add-ons. Anything up to that feels like we'll get an excellent player, given what we've read and the snippets seen of him.
Feels like we won't get this one done, sadly, but fingers crossed.

Class finish, but also Fernandes started that in his own half, saw the space and directed the ball to the right hand side, and made a run to the box to finish it off. Impressive.
Didn't Saints hold out for £50m+ for Lavia a couple of seasons ago - and Lavia was younger and had played fewer games for them than Fernandes has? Think we're going go have to pay up IF Potter and co think Fernandes is the midfielder to build everything around.

So, the usual practice gobbling up Salthouse's shit greedily and asking for more hasn't helped a jot when it comes to getting one of his players who is actually any good. Hope Sullivan wakes up a little bit.

Yeah, BEFORE he signed, I was refusing to believe it would happen, because I thought it was a shocking deal for us.
When he signed, I said on here what a shocking, shit signing it was for us. Hence saying to Jaan that we all moaned about that signing when it happened.
What is it you're failing to understand? I didn't have you down as being this thick?

None of this really matters, but completely lying is a bit pathetic, son.
I'm not lying. It was how it came across to me, that you were trying to be positive and trying to calm everyone when they were losing their shit over Wilson joining. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick about everything you posted about the potential deal below?
"I'm calling bollocks on that. Him and Wilson might end up signing, but to say the deals are done is horse shit, so I'll leave being pissed off about it until it actually happens."
"I just can't let myself believe, given what has gone on in the last couple of years, that he'll be thick enough to sign Wilson.
Won't happen. Can't happen."

A couple of German clubs interested in Buonnotte
Brighton would prefer to loan him in the Premier league for his development with us Leeds & Forest interested
Developing players for Brighton
Not sure that was what moving to London Stadium was meant to achieve

The Mail is reporting that Brighton are willing to loan out the midfielder Facundo Buonanotte and that we are in for him.

Supposedly they’d scouted this Muckau & if Saturday was an audition he passed & according to reports (I didn’t watch) 20m Euros is a no brainer
Dont know the other Lille player but presumably gettable from a French club
Fernandes I’d go higher to maybe 35 or 40 with add ons but not 50 or 60
El Khannous of Leicester I believe has a buyout around 20 which expires this week. Newcastle sniffing around I read
