SuperSAINT

Cool. Do you know about any outgoings, Guan?

John Percy is very clued in at WBA. I can't imagine we would sanction this deal though (& certainly not unless we have a replacement lined up).

BILIC HOPES 'GENEROUS' CHAIRMAN WILL LAND 'A GOOD ONE' West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says the club are looking to land "a good one" before the transfer window closes at the end of the month. "Lanzini, Payet should be back Thursday or Sunday, we are alright for creation in midfield, with Andre Ayew it’s long term and hopefully he will be back December 1," said Bilic after West Ham beat Bournemouth 1-0 on Super Sunday. "Are we going to be very active? We are going to try to get one, I think the chairman is going to be very generous and he will get one if we find the proper one, it’s very hard now. "There is no club in Europe that has been linked with more players than West Ham and most of them are not true. I am going to speak with the chairman and director of recruitment on Monday and if we get one, it’s got to be a good one."

Andy Carroll out for 6 weeks.... So.... BILIC INTERESTED IN BONY West Ham are chasing Manchester City's Wilfried Bony, according to the Daily Mail. The Hammers have reportedly asked to take Bony on loan, with Slaven Bilic looking for cover for the injured Andre Ayew who is facing up to four months out. The 27-year-old Ivory Coast international has several offers to consider including one from China but is said to be interested in a move to the Olympic Stadium.

You can probably shave a chunk off of that when you take into account sell-on fees to Feyenoord & Celtic. Plus, I'm guessing you've priced Mane at £38m, when I'd probably average it out to £34m.

How much is J-Rod worth? Difficult one to put a number on.

I agree, but I believe that was the figure quoted. (And if that's true, then that's why I think he will go)

Budget: £30m - Fonte out. ***************** + Berahino (£20m) + Boufal / Stanciu / Zieych (£10m) + Denayer (Loan) (Still need a DM, but I've assumed Fonte is off so Denayer replaces him)

Your maths are probably better than mine then, because I believe we have around £30m left from player sales. We generally spend what we make from sales. The rest goes on wages, running the club & reducing the debt to the shareholder.

I think Jose is going to go & that explains the "3" possible incomings before the deadline IMO. Let's be honest, none of us want him to go, but we all know the routine. The echo even said he's staying unless we get an "eye watering" offer. (Aka £8m) which they can probably find down their sofa.

We probably have around £30m TBF.

I know this is the most generic thing to say, but he reminds me of a right-footed Hagi.

That was Monk's source wasn't it? I believe K,Billy is higher up the ITK tree.

I'd be happy if Denayer was the squad player. (But then again, why would he come here on loan if he's not going to get games?) Certainly penetrates more accurately than us at Old Trafford

Fonte is possibly the only person who might leave. Maybe J-Rod on loan, but we surely won't let them go unless we can get replacements as its getting close to deadline.

He was linked a little while ago. Plays as an AMC. Handy little YouTube video too. He's quite small as well if I recall. youtu.be/8KXjTfc36m8

Stanciu?

My updated wish list * - Berahino (SC) - Boufal or Ziyech (AMC) - Centre-back or Defensive midfielder. * Probably not that updated as I've been going on about these positions most of the summer

Can we just go for Berahino, please?

Apart from leaving us with 3 strikers.

I need more positive vibes than Guan's last post to get excited about potential deals before the window closes.

Moyes bans Kone from the club? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/1646391/sunderland-boss-david-moyes-has-banned-want-away-lamine-kone-from-the-club/?CMP=spklr-_-Editorial-_-TWITTER-_-TheSunFootball-_-20160820-_-Football-_-549858888

Any ITK's with any good news for us?

Who knows these days? I would've said £8m in real money - but he's English & with the TV money it's probably £15m.

I think he'd be a good signing. I have no idea why he signed for Liverpool though.
