yes because then we can’t buy a CB and Sancho.
Do you know what net spend means?yes because then we can’t buy a CB and Sancho.
no way is rice more important than those 2. sort out those positions and see if we’ve got £30m left for rice.
give them a lingard + cash offer, if they say no walk away.
people complained about pogba for £89m but they’re happy to pay slightly less for rice?
no I have no idea clearly you melon Why are we not selling if they won't play or won't be used enough?
so who are we selling to make up that sort of money?
He's going to be an average right back. Positionally dreadful and poor on the ball. Slide tackling doesn't make up for it.
My guess Lingard for 25, James 20, Dalot 10, Tuanzebe 10. If we are to get Ronaldo or another striker then add martial at 40-50.
so who are we selling to make up that sort of money?
who would you sell? i can’t see us making back more than £60m this summer if we are lucky
There are currently question marks over the futures of De Gea, Henderson, Bailly, Martial, Pogba, Donny, Lingard, James, Dalot, Matic and Pereira. Obviously we won’t sell all of them but to ask “how are we raising 50m” seems slightly disingenuous to be honest.
so who are we selling to make up that sort of money?
aside from lingard and martial i don’t see us earning barely anything out of those players listed. DDG won’t sell due to wages either unless we let him go for a small fee.
nobody is buying dan james for 30m
He’s not poor on the ball, where does this rubbish keep coming from?
From watching him play.
I'm not in favour of this transfer at all, but he's not poor on the ball. He's pretty average for a premier League CM.
He is no worse than most of the DM's playing for big teams and he has grown into much assured player on the ball in last year with further room for improvement as well while having great defensive game already.
Yeah, sadly, he's getting priced out a move, but to be honest, another year at West ham would do him good.Rice won’t be sold for less than 80-90 mil.
He is not worth it, but he is worth it to West Ham. That’s sadly the price anyone will have to pay nowadays for a young, good, PL proven English player.
Move on and identify a cheaper alternative. I thought we had a great scouting department
it’s crazy isn’t it.
Did they write 30?nobody is buying dan james for 30m
He has pretty good footwork too, you can tell he used to be a winger as he knows how to make space for himself to beat a man 1 on 1. I think people think he’s poor ok the ball as he looks gangly and awkward but he’s pretty effective.
Because foreign players are cheap....
That's why I placed 25m not 30m.nobody is buying dan james for 30m
Come on mate, you are better reader than that.Are you still referring to AWB? Because it’s hs
It’s bonkers. I swear some people hear others and just repeat
If we have a net-spend of £150 million then we can afford to buy 3 really expensive players as we will offload £60-70 million worth of players. Sancho is £80M, Rice is £80-90M and a central defender at about £50Myes because then we can’t buy a CB and Sancho.

nice edit!That's why I placed 25m not 30m.
i’ll believe it when I see it. we are even worse at selling than buying!
Balance is as important too. The logic of goals win games had England start a midfield of Lampard and Gerrard
Remember before we got Bruno we were heavil being linked with Maddison and Grealish, anyone of those 2 was going to cost us 70m+ yet we went outside and got Bruno for 45m.Rice won’t be sold for less than 80-90 mil.
He is not worth it, but he is worth it to West Ham. That’s sadly the price anyone will have to pay nowadays for a young, good, PL proven English player.

None of our 2 top keepers have a high value. De gea has a huge salary and Henderson is in the top 5 most paid keepers in the PL. Who would be willing to shell out 30m plus salary for any of them?
I admire your optimism having gone through all the let down over past few summers in terms of players' sales
No way are we paying that for Declan in a million years, if we can't do any kind of deal involving Jesse going the other way then fully expecting us to move for a Bissouma or maybe even Saul if he's open to actually leaving Atletico
AWB can be decent at running at defenders with his turn of pace and feints but he's very limited on the ball. His distribution IMO is mediocre and like a player who has been at Palace for a long time. Maybe he'll develop that side of his game with time and to be fair to him he has, to an extent, over the course of this season, but all in all, he's still a very basic fullback on the ball, and a far cry from the ones who are/were genuinely good on the ball (Evra, Cole, TAA etc).

Rice is CDM though not a no 8 or hybrid. May be you want to compare him with Rodri, Ndidi, Allan.
If Rice is 80m
We managed to sell Smalling for 17m. What makes you think we can’t sell those three for the value I set?
