  1. Marcus Rashford (out) | signs for Villa on loan

    It'd have toibe subsidised, then again no club will be paying close to his full wages I suspect, he just hasn't performed close to s 300k+ type player. Our wage-turnover is very healthy, even without European football. In theory 150k would certainly be possible. I don't think any club in world...
  2. Michail Antonio | Involved in a road traffic accident

    From the sounds of things from itk he has both legs fractured. July was the earliest from the sounds of things and at his age you'd have to be doubtful he will come back at this level. He has definately been lucky though, was fearing the worst for a short while.
  3. Nations League 24/25 | November Internationals (Matchday 5-6)

    At least it looks more balanced and actually has a midfield this time round. Hopefully won't get cut open as quickly.
  4. England Squad Discussion (The Carsley Era)

    Utterly absurd formation with the players used like they were. It might work against a real minnow but Greece are a somewhat decent team at the moiment, albeit a team like England should be able to beat. The one big similarity to Southgate is Carsley trying to shoehorn in 'key/undroppable'...
  5. Transfer Tweets - England/Scotland - 2024/25

    Its no surprise that the two clubs who pulled in the largest cash sales in the last couple of years outside of the top 6 are the clubs splashing money around (Brighton and West Ham). Villa did it a few years back as well with the Grealish money which worked out well for them.
  6. Chelsea 2024/25

    Apart from Sterling and Lukaku who are probably both on giant wages the rest is pure book balancing. Sell off young academy assets which are pure profit pn the books. Should be fine to it this year, but eventually you will run out of road with that tactic as your youth no longer can be sold as...
  7. West Ham - 2024/25

    Cleared to play, though who knows what headspace he is in. Rumours are we are looking for one more creative MF player who i guess would be his replacement should the ban hammer come down or his head isnt where it needs to be.
  8. West Ham - 2024/25

    Tough to call this season. On paper we have a very solid first 11, and even our bench is looking increasingly solid these days. However there has been considerable changes in squad makeup and manager, which can go either way. I think we probably have the widest range of possible finishing...
  9. West Ham - 2024/25

    Absolutely £0. Sadly his knees are finished and can barely run anymore. It's either move to Saudi and get a wedge or retire next season. I suspect West Ham would pay him off regardless as he is just a waste of a squad space now sadly. Shame as he is in many ways our best defender, but even a...
  10. Wan-Bissaka for sale | joins West Ham

    We were horrific in defense last season, some defensive stability would go a long way as in attack we were actually ok. The 4th worst goals conceded last season, only above the relegation 3. So a defensive solid RB, even if maybe a little limited relatively speaking going forward I'd exactly...
  11. Jean-Clair Todibo | signs for West Ham on loan with option to buy

    My guess is like a few other big signings in recent years he may have a release clause that would become active 2 seasons after signing. Gives some secruity to both player and club that way. Just a guess though! I've heard it is an obligation not an option as well, hence the sell on clause...
  12. Jean-Clair Todibo | signs for West Ham on loan with option to buy

    Because Juve haven't got the money or they don't want to risk the money, West Ham are relatively cash rich this summer so can provide the money. This is Tobido/agent realising Nice will not accept whatever Juve are offering and going for the next best option. If he proves himself in the prem...
  13. Paris Olympic football, men

    Never should have been overturned. The fact they reviewed it for several minutes means its clearly not a clear and obvious error.
  14. Transfer Tweets - England/Scotland - 2024/25

    We've got a really strong wage ratio (I think its like 58%) We still have yet to invest in the Rice money (net positive last year) and my guess is we may well be hedging the likelihood Kudus goes for very big money next summer. Basically we should have lots to spend, one of the few cash rich...
  15. Wan-Bissaka for sale | joins West Ham

    I don't think between the clubs was ever an issue, and Sullivan would always be keen on a Salthouse player. It's just between the player and us now. Given a pretty modest transfer fee I'd be surprised if this doesn't get done now.
