You're trying to trigger me but I'm not biting.Good back up for Smalling

Other clubs maybe would, we wouldn’t.As much as we all want to get rid of Rojo, in today's climate we could easily get £15m for him so I wouldn't say £60m is that great for us but its certainly better than paying £60m cash
He’s not wrong. He shouldn’t be seen as a clear improvement on Smalling right away anyway.You're trying to trigger me but I'm not biting.
They weren't born yesterday.Give them Jones , Rojo and Bailly for all I care .
It's impossible for Diop to be miles better than Ake if Ake has had the far better season. He was one of the best centre half's in the league.Nathan Ake is 5'11 in height. Diop is 6'4. For me Diop is miles better with a much higher ceiling to improve.
Nathan ake is not 5’11Nathan Ake is 5'11 in height. Diop is 6'4. For me Diop is miles better with a much higher ceiling to improve.
He's 5'10½Nathan ake is not 5’11
Big clubs are interested in promising players to be fair.PSG, Barca & Utd all want him eh?
Smells like a 'give me a better contract' one to me.
From zero interest from anyone to PSG, Barca & Utd in the space of a day, we'll see .Big clubs are interested in promising players to be fair.
at 6' 4" , he'd need a higher ceiling.Nathan Ake is 5'11 in height. Diop is 6'4. For me Diop is miles better with a much higher ceiling to improve.
Barca and PSG both have 3 CBs better than him.Big clubs are interested in promising players to be fair.
I doubt there is ‘zero interest’ in a player who captained Toulouse at 19, a key member of a recent French cup winning national team, and cost West Ham £22m at 21 years old as a defender from France. Most top clubs would be aware of him and be watching him. Maybe the clubs mentioned are not planning to sign him now, but have tried to tell him not to join United yet as they are keeping an eye.From zero interest from anyone to PSG, Barca & Utd in the space of a day, we'll see .
That would have been funny if we were talking about any other position other than center backAre you Jose?
Ok, zero 'reported' interest.I doubt there is ‘zero interest’ in a player who captained Toulouse at 19, a key member of a recent French cup winning national team, and cost West Ham £22m at 21 years old as a defender from France.

Yet unsurprisingly clubs like that still continue to watch promising young players. Because that’s how the game goes.Barca and PSG both have 3 CBs better than him.
True. Hopefully Juan Mata doesn't invite him round for tea so.at 6' 4" , he'd need a higher ceiling.
He joined West Ham 11 months ago. He has no leverage. And ‘reports’ don’t really mean that much. Big clubs watch loads and loads of players. The reports tend to come when there is some actual movement.Ok, zero 'reported' interest.
I could be wide of the mark, but won't be shocked if he ends up on improved terms at West Ham shortly.
Probably Bailly, and we're reluctant because of his age and potential value.Rumoured to be Bailly, or Rojo
Just assuming this is true, who could they possibly want that we are refusing to give? I would give them any defender in our team except Lindelof.Tweet

I would not give up any of our CBs for Diop including Axel.Just assuming this is true, who could they possibly want that we are refusing to give? I would give them any defender in our team except Lindelof.
You don't rate Diop? I dont know much about him apart from the few games I've seen so I can't really judge the player.I would not give up any of our CBs for Diop including Axel.
On last season's form and availability £15 million sounds like double what we'd get for RojoAs much as we all want to get rid of Rojo, in today's climate we could easily get £15m for him so I wouldn't say £60m is that great for us but its certainly better than paying £60m cash
Maybe smalling, hes worth a decent amount I'd say (and I wouldnt want to give him up). Or bailly. Smalling, lindelof and bailly are our only CBs worth anything. Bailly is probably for sale but worth around 30m I'd say.Just assuming this is true, who could they possibly want that we are refusing to give? I would give them any defender in our team except Lindelof.
I'd bet everything I own it's Martial they're asking for.Just assuming this is true, who could they possibly want that we are refusing to give? I would give them any defender in our team except Lindelof.
Depends what you want from a CB. Personally, i'd be taking Tah from that list as he's the best passer and used to dominating possession.Is Diop a better prospect than Konate, Upamecano, Tah, etc?

Doubt it. WH can't afford to pay Tony what he's on.I'd bet everything I own it's Martial they're asking for.
He has really good defensive qualities but, I do not think he is good enough on the ball to play for a top side.You don't rate Diop? I dont know much about him apart from the few games I've seen so I can't really judge the player.
Absolutely not.Is Diop a better prospect than Konate, Upamecano, Tah, etc?
Tah definitely looks a player that could develop into a real rock of a CB. He's physically imposing, good on the ball, strong in the air and fast. He has everything in his locker to potentially become a dominant CB for a big club.Depends what you want from a CB. Personally, i'd be taking Tah from that list as he's the best passer and used to dominating possession.
Approximately my thoughts too.I've no idea how good he is, but I'd still be willing to take this deal if Rojo or Jones goes the other way
