Polarboy 2317 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Looking like Chelsea don't want to loan out Gallagher, would be happy for him to stay, and would only listen to a big offer for him, with some speculating it would take north of 40m. That more or less seems to be the case for Pulisic as well. It's going to be a very interesting end to the window for us, hopefully. We've a real need of cover at right back now that we know Krafth will likely be out for at least the majority of this season, we have Shelvey's injury obviously, and we still ideally need another attacking player. Ashworth and Howe are going to have to box very clever, unless the owners pull another Isak surprise out of the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous that the biggest clubs can sit on talent like that knowing that they're not going to play much, all within the limits of the financial fairplay system that they brought in to keep protecting their own interests whilst pretending to protect the small clubs who are losing their talent because they can't afford anything else.

I'd like to criticise them, but the Chelsea model of signing the best young players and sending them on loan to foreign leagues is something we'll probably try to emulate eventually.

That would allow us to drop Longstaff and play willock and Anderson as the two “number 8s” ahead of him. Problem there is it may weaken our press which has been instrumental in our turnaround. Is Anderson ready to step into that role for 90 minutes? Dunno You need to have a range of passing to play the 6. Joelinton is a ball carrier and doesn't have the range. Its going to be a tough game on Wed. I don't hold out much hope of a result and neither should you lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with that. Longstaff isn't as bad as people are making out. He is now the weak link in our team now though but I trust Eddie knows what he is doing. If he can get him back to a level near when he broke through then we'll have a decent squad player - on not a huge amount of money. As mentioned before he is at the 3rd choice number 6. Liverpool was going to be extremely difficult to get anything from with a full team but now we have some key players out will be even harder. I'd take a plucky narrow defeat (to keep our peckers up) or a lucky draw. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Apparently Tielemans has sold his house in the Leicester area and is in rented accommodation waiting for his move to happen. Arsenal have reportedly always been the favourites, but he'd a be an incredible addition for us given our current needs, should Arsenal not complete the deal for whatever reason. He can play as a 6, an 8, even 10 at a push given he's that talented and versatile. And if I remember correctly he's in the last year of his contract, so he should cost considerably less than Maddison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6799 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 West Ham United allegedly face the possibility of an 11th hour hijack in our move to sign Lucas Paqueta from Lyon. That’s according to Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas who has told beIN SPORTS that another club has joined the Hammers late on in the race to sign the Brazilian. The Hammers fans are getting incredibly excited about the prospect of the 25-year-old rocking up at the London Stadium this summer. The longer that time goes on without confirmation of the signing from the club though, the more concerned the fans are becoming. And it seems as though there’s a very good reason as to why… An unnamed Premier League club have entered the race to sign the Lyon ace at the final knockings. That’s according to Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas who has told beIN SPORTS: “It’s unfortunate that Lucas Paqueta is leaving. But he wanted to leave. We thought we had very big clubs, we didn’t have them. We had to talk at the last moment with West Ham. Now I know that there was an English club that wanted to come forward at the last moment so maybe tomorrow morning we’ll wake up with a novelty. I can’t tell you the name.” Wow. What a shocker it would be to lose out on Paqueta now. The Brazilian is an exceptional talent and will be able to take the Hammers to another level entirely. With an 11th hour hijack reportedly on the cards though, West Ham may well be made to regret not wrapping up a deal for Paqueta sooner. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Losing out on the 25-year-old to another Premier League club would be a truly massive blow.

Polarboy 2317 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Would you take Ross Barkley as a free agent? Chelsea have supposedly just released him. Of course he like Lingard will probably fuck any decent move by asking for ludicrous wages given his free agent status. He seems injury prone and wildly inconsistent, but perhaps that the former mostly explains the latter. If anybody could draw out his potential it's Howe of course, so he might be worth a massive punt if, again, he isn't playing silly beggars with his wage demands.

I don't think he'd be a starter here either. I bet he ends up back at Everton on loan. Edit: Sorry, just realised his contract has been terminated.
