West Ham Online

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
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

Harvey Elliot had his medical yet? 
​​​​​​

Who knows who we will get, I was warming to Big John though... Not seen much of Hermanson other than some good saves against us and throwing one in his own net. 

It's a lot of money. We've also bid for a German keeper from Werder Breman... 

A bit embarrassing that Hammers News is calling our transfer chase for a goalkeeper a "masterclass" suggesting that the John Victor bid was a carefully calculated smokescreen to get the Hermanson deal done.

Well firstly, not even convinced that we'll get the Hermanson deal done seeing as for me he's the best choice, but also... as if this all intentional and tactical from West Ham.

It's out usual scattergun approach and then see what happens.

Don’t be silly. We can save a whole weeks wages if we sign him hours before the opening game or even better several weeks, hours before the window shuts.

4D chess from Sullivan yet again.  

What happened to getting this keeper (whoever it may be) in before the Lille game so they could play in that?

Started to type Hermansen into my search engine & it tried to correct to Hermaphrodite so if we are signing him can we make sure the medical is thorough 

Don’t know Reitz Palacios or Sudakov
From what I’d seen previously Reitz had rejected us & had bigger fish to fry
Sudakov sounded expensive though I guess could be negotiated down if no other suitors will pay
Palacios is a recent one … most of the comments seem to imply he’d be looking at bigger clubs

Sorry to piss on anyone’s chips  

I said back in June we wouldn't see much action until close to the start of the season and low and behold that's what's happening!

Pathetic really, all we have is 1 signing (Not including Todibo) and a couple of frees.

just maybe had we got our arse into gear and got more than the bare bones in a month or so ago, a decent time for the new faces to gel and up to speed, now its the usual scramble (or punt) and hope we can find players before the end of the month.

Typical West Ham

Villa have not got much wrong in the transfer market since their return. Quite impressive they were in the championship just 5/6 years ago. 

One of a number of clubs that have leaped frogged us in terms of quality whilst we have sat still/gone backwards. 

 

The Ivory Coast striker Guessand of Nice who we had on our never ending list is signing for Villa for £26m + £4.3m add ons
Medical today
Talk of Ollie Watkins going to Man U previously 

Tyler Morton of Liverpool signs for Lyon for £15m
Guessing we are prioritising Freddie Potts over a player who’d had a couple of good Championship seasons on loan

Reitz, Palacios and Sudakov would improve our team MASSIVELY!!!

Top 8 no doubt

I wouldn’t say I believe him but it is a real threat and a sobering thought. To laugh it off and dismiss it completely is an extreme reaction .  A real sign that you’re rattled. It’s ok it’s an awful reality to live under. 

Turn it in ffs we've got the Politics thread for this. And I will laugh off clearly unsubstantiated alarmist bollocks when I do see it because you believe him. So if anyone's rattled because of it being called out, it's you.

According to Leicester City

You're wrong. I've heard the poison dwarf has squirreled away Club funds for years now (hence only renting a poxy Athletics Stadium for peanuts) to put towards a special R & D branch of the Club where they are currently in the process of building an AI version of Sullivan. So when he does eventually evaporate, we will still be left with an equally terrifying holographic incarnation of himself, but this time indestructible and with powers ramped up to 100 terabytes of evilness and spite towards the fanbase.
