Jack Harrison rejoins Everton from Leeds.

I think if Alcaraz is injured it's even more imperative we bring in another midfielder! 😁 But seriously I don't think the Alvarez injury would have changed anything regarding Downes. Remember also clubs this summer mostly need to sell to buy - us buying Downes means West Ham can invest in someone else. FFP or whatever they call it now will play a big part in every club's transfer dealings this summer.

Air conditioning units at work - what is the point? They sit there all year and when you need the damn things, when you actually bloody need the damn things and need them to work and to do their job, they fail. I mean what is the bloody point? And then we raise a job and some company who was subcontracted by subcontractors of the contractors for my company come along and say nothing can be done for a few bloody Millennia until they get the parts, and then my company provides a fan that is less powerful than a gnat's fart as a replacement. I mean what is the bloody point!

That's a shame. I can only think we've offered KWP a new contract and he's not accepted it so we're cashing in on him now rather than losing him on a free next year. I really wanted to see KWP play for us again in the Prem but perhaps it isn't to be.

Ah well lads, at least your fans have been proper bantz.

Still time for a Stu thunderbolt...

I thought he'd retired years ago! He's younger than Lallana ffs

He'd be part of my squad for the new season - if only because I'm hoping for some pace off the bench towards the end of games to poop the opposition up. He take the Djenepo spot. Easy to forget he was bumped from Danish to French to English leagues before he even turned 21. He's moved for big money, had injuries and been part of our relegated side - and he didn't kick up a fuss about moving last summer (that I remember). He's been all fart and no shit so far (well, maybe one of those farts where a little nugget of poo comes out as a surprise but those are very rare) but I think as a bench option he's fine. That said, Everton and I think it was Fulham wanted him last summer so I wonder if that interest is still there.

Did I accurately hear on Talksport earlier that the England team have had an emergency meeting where each player has told Southgate their preferred position?!? Please tell me that's satire... Googles... No, not satire. They actually told Southgate the positions they wanted to play in. During a major tournament.

Shocking own goal from Turkey - the defender didn't even look at where the keeper was.

Anyone been following this? I'm not a big conspiracy theorist but I just went down a rabbit hole on Reddit that apparently this story contains more than meets the eye. Apparently he attacked someone with a machete last year but didn't go to jail for it, has been smuggling drugs with another female and has been kidnapped pending a ransom. Possibly all bollocks but you never know. Bluemoon forum have a discussion link here about it: https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/jay-slater-missing-kid-in-tenerife.365061

If that £12 million is accurate, which I doubt, then it would probably come with a host of add ons. That's rumoured to be the fee West Ham paid Swansea for him. Would be a fantastic bit of business though and he'd be key to the way we play next season. I'll wait until he signs on the dotted line before I get happy about this...

Depends if you'd rather have the transfer fund or your best players. Palace will probably get £150 million to £180 million for Guehi, Olise and Eze but will then be reliant on spending it properly. I know I wouldn't trust the transfer decision makers at Saints with that money to spend!

To be fair, we probably will sign a couple of Forreners.

Something to do with him being in the way of any potential GK movement. The offside law states: "The attacking player is penalised for preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the goalkeeper's line of vision." Dumfries was offside but he wasn't interfering with play - however I think because of how close he was to Maignan and because of where the ball went past him, that's why it was chalked off. The argument was that Dumfries never played for the ball, and he wasn't that close to Maignan that he was impeding him. But irrespective of whether is was a goal or not, the decision just took far too long.

If there's any justice, The Netherlands will win this. But I suspect it has swung in France's favour with that disallowed goal

VAR been working well all tournament until the Brits take control! 😁 I feel robbed, I have the Dutch in the sweep.

Good old British officials taking the longest to make a VAR decision...

And in saying that, potentially annoying Wharton and Gallagher, both CMs who have been overlooked in trying the Trent experiment. I won't lie, I had Trent in my team to start against Serbia but it was clear it didn't work - so why try it a second time? Wharton may be inexperienced at the top level but he has been taken for a reason - he should absolutely start against Slovenia.

I'll say it again - Lamine Yamal is outstanding. He's frigging 16.

Yep, a minus 12 start means you need to get close to or hit 50 points - mid-table form. It's not impossible but as we found out back in League One with the minus ten, it hands around your neck for a while as we only won one game until October. I'm not sure how Everton are still signing players but apparently they're bringing in a Villa midfielder for £10 million. I know they expect to get big money for Onana and Braithwaite but maybe get that money before you start spending it! Villa are selling Douglas Luiz and bringing in a couple of their players, one of which is Iling-Junior the England U21 players, and are also close to signing Ian Maatsen from Chelsea.

On the positive side, a point effectively gets us out the group - so we can now use the Slovenia game to try a different line up/tactics etc.

Or Zeus or whoever.
