First Ibe then Lallana. Let the silly season begin. Wouldn't want either even for a stupidly cheap fee let alone what Liverpool will want for them!

Lallana has been excellent this season. Don't see why we would consider selling.

Ibe would be sold IMO if a reasonable offer is tabled.

Lazy journalism linking Poch to a former player I think. He'd be extra depth in our am area but you wouldn't sell for any less than you paid which is bad business on behalf.

Ibe if you were forcing him out to play Ojo more then maybe he'd be worth looking at for us. But again he'd be depth so I wouldn't expect us to spend much on that sort of player

West Adelaide Bloods, Man City.
i suspect the 30 mil euros bid (funny dildo king uses euros) is for lacazette. for some reason i think the other bid for the player in england could be matic. dont think he'd go to west ham but i doubt they bid for lacazette/batshuayi as well as benteke.

Wtf happens to their current strikers if they're signing Benteke and one other? Does Bilic often play with two up front? No need for 4 front line strikers if you don't play 442 that often

They wont sign Benteke and one of Lacazette/Batshuayi, they will sign one of the three. They wont shell out 50m on 2 players.

Not sure why they'd sign Benteke with the other two on offer for 10m or so more.

Batshuayi is a star, very possible he keeps Lukaku out of the Belgium starting XI at Euro's.

Bony anyone? Can't imagine £20m+ but West Ham have been linked.
See I think Bony has more scope than Benteke.

Bony's goal scoring record is 1 in 2 at every club he's been at, besides City. He was a beast in Holland, he was v.good at Swansea.

I'm sure someone like Stoke etc would love a "Swansea Bony".

Could be a Lukaku replacement if he moves on as well.

My only doubt is the malaria. Can't remember who it was but I'm sure someone struggled for a good 6 months after malaria, and then came good. Maybe Drogba?

"We put in a bid today for €30m (£23.7m) for a player and other bids will be going in. We are going to make a £20m or £25m bid for a player in England this week. So whatever happens, we'll bring a top striker in."
Benteke to West Ham for 20-25mil I think is good. Was hoping for something between 20-25mil and that does it.

If we can get Gotze for around 20mil then that's good enough for me.
