Transfer discussion thread

Did you see Zola and Luiz’s comments?

Yeah. Im a little worried.

Rabiot to Barca, Gomes to Everton permanently

One of the Hammers web-sites thinks we've offered 15M for Bradley Dack from Blackburn.

Not sure if it's true or not, we've been linked to Gabriel Barbosa from Inter and Gary Medel from Besitkas in recent days also. Dack is an interesting one though, he's 24, attacking midfielder / striker and I think he's in double figures for goals in the Championship so far this season.

Wouldn't think we have much money left to spend, would presume we'd be selling one of Reid / Ogbonna / Carroll / Lucas Perez etc. to bring some money in and free up some wage money.

medel was awful for cardiff from memory. massively limited footballer and would be making a pretty decent living in turkey. i'd love to see gabigol in the prem but his move to europe really didn't turn out how it should've

Sounds like Batshuayis loan to Valencia is going to be canned. Monaco want him, we really need to sell him for his own sake.

 

[Magma]

barca signing murillo feels pointless. at least mina had potential

 

[chef]

Do it.

 

[mike123]

Did it actually happen this time?

 

[Zoom]

Do it.

Don’t know about this one chef. Higuain has five goals in the Serie A. He’s scoring a goal every 204 minutes. In contrast, Morata has five goals in the Premier League. He’s scoring a goal every 167 minutes. Morata has better output in a harder league. He’s also not turning 32 next year.

Our striker situation is dire but I think we should be patient. Hazard/Morata/Giroud is good enough to get us top four this season. That should be our aim. Guys like Wilson and Higuain aren’t going to have us all of a sudden challenge for the league. They’re barely an upgrade on what we have and are the definition of a stop gap. I hope we sit tight for now then invest heavily into someone worthwhile in the summer.

Hi Zoom, keen to hear your thoughts on Willian? Do you rate him?

He’s a thief. He has been stealing money from Chelsea since 2013. He also has incriminating photos of Roman Abramovich. He needs to be stopped.

 

[chef]

Willians actually better when he's played LW with Hazard as the 9.

 

[Sub_Zero]

Do it.

No thanks

I'd take Higuain on a 6 month loan(if we can't get Mertens) and piss Morata off. Then reload in the summer, let Giroud walk and sell Morata and Batman buy a decent 9 whos suited for Sarriball and have Tammy as backup/development option.

Who knows Sarri may make Hazard into his Mertens.

Willians actually better when he's played LW with Hazard as the 9.

Thought he was poor against Brighton and decent enough against City (he should’ve scored but he butchered a great opportunity). Haven’t watched him play any other games on the LW with Hazard up top. Maybe a bit when Conte was experimenting with it, but I don’t recall him doing anything of note?

I think it’s pretty obvious he has many deficiencies and if we’re serious he needs to be replaced. The club have tried to fix that RW position for years now. Cuadrado, Schurrle, Salah, Traore, de Bruyne and Pedro have all had a crack at it, but amazingly Willian survived and still manages to regularly start today.

I saw a photo the other day of the highest Brazilian goal scorers in the Premier League because Firmino was about to overtake Coutinho, but what I also noticed is that Gabby Jesus, who debuted in the Premier League last year, is about to overtake Willian for goals scored. It’s not good enough.

It’s obvious I’m not fond of him as a player and that shit he pulled with Conte really shat me up the wall. I could go on and on, but I’ll try not to. F*** you glenferry23 for bringing him up.

I agree with all of it except for the six months with Higuain. I don’t think Higuain will hit the ground running in the Premier League. A player of his age would take time to adjust to the tempo of the league plus would need settle in well with new teammates, new tactics, a new country etc. Just don’t think he will have the impact that is required of him in such a short period.

I think he'd have a pretty good understanding of what we are trying to do.

Don't get me wrong I think he needs to be replaced/upgrade(play CHO FFS) but he hasn't been terrible(apart from finishing), his key pass stats are pretty good.
