If stories are true, then £25m for JWP & £35m for Lavia probably puts them both £10m under where they’d be realistic. Not that far off, really.

Especially when they supposedly bid £45m for the Fulham guy - who’s the same age as JWP.

From SSN: (it’s fair to say West Ham have an extensive shortlist) —————- West Ham: Palhinha, Ward-Prowse, Zakaria latest After more talks, there is still a gap in valuation between what West Ham United are prepared to pay for midfielder Joao Palhinha and what Fulham want. West Ham remain interested, but are deciding whether to go back in with an improved offer after having a £45m bid rejected earlier this month. Any potential deal could be hampered after Palhinha suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder in Fulham’s Premier League Summer Series game against Brentford on Sunday. West Ham are expected to push to sign Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse. It’s thought they are getting encouragement the player would be open to a move to the London Stadium. Ward-Prowse has three years left on his Southampton contract. Talks, meanwhile, continue with Juventus over the signing of Denis Zakaria. It’s understood they are still exploring the possibility of a deal for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher. Gallagher has featured heavily for Chelsea in pre-season. He has two years left on his contract and Chelsea are open to extending his stay. West Ham retain an interest in Monaco’s French international Youssof Fofana and remain keen on Manchester United’s Scott McTominay, while there is open dialogue with Ajax over Edson Alvarez

What if Russell Martin REALLY wanted him though?

Interesting signing.

He still posts news AFTER other people & pretends to have contacts all over Europe.

Jacob Tanswell mentioned interest from Europe (mainly Germany) and 1 prem side.

He does. Peeps need to get realistic about who’s staying & who’s going. Going to get very busy.

Alan Nixon mentioned about a possible European move last month, I believe.

"His hair is fine.... Eats pizza all-the-time...."

It really does. Momentum is so important. I still remember that opening win against Leeds in the Championship. Absolute magic.

Torino for Stu? https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-evaluating-possibility-getting-hands-southampton-veteran-novelty-transfer-plans/

Is Stu there ? Haven’t seen him at all.

Paul / DCC aren’t in Turkey, apparently.
