Saint Scott

I agree he is shit and not up to the job but their 3rd was on the defenders. Unmarked, didn't need to move, unchallenged, goal

We can't be scoring 2 goals in the first half and be losing, ridiculous

Baz had no chance, great header. Terrible marking

Downes not in the West Ham squad today Piroe and Grimes start for Swansea

Championship 21/22 Appearances: 45 / Goals: 22 Championship 22/23 Appearances: 43 / Goals: 19 The players he'll have around him here are a step up from Swansea. He seems to stay fit, is a good age and a natural finisher whether he is less 'mobile' or not

So the £55m is a bluff to get Liverpool to remove their bid for Caicedo and buy Lavia... #mindgames

Yes i'd rather keep Che over AA/Mara but they both have more than 12 months on their deal and have little resale value. Piroe has an excellent scoring record in an average championship team the last 2 seasons. I'd still prefer him as our starting striker over anyone currently at the club

Piroe is being touted at £15m, so quite a lot in this division

I'm leaning towards Piroe with Martin confirming in his presser than Downes is part of the JWP deal on loan

Martin confirming in his press conference Jack Stephens is the new club captain.

Lavia could drag on a bit if Caicedo is now both of their primary target

That article seems to have originated from this tweet. Looking at the comments it seems he's a WUM on his school holidays

Let the bidding war commence!

Would love it if he goes there over the bin dippers and their pathetic offers for Lavia

Swansea loaning a centre midfielder from Arsenal and sounds like a quick turnaround from Fabrizio's original tweet. They already have Grimes, Fulton, Allen, Walsh and a promising youngster in Congreve. 6 midfielders seems a bit heavy, we can hope Wilcox has sprung into action

Maguire is being reported at £30m fee also. Although completely agree we should of been demanding a lot more for JWP By the looks of it JWP or Downes will be playing so the incentive is to get this wrapped up quickly for both parties sake

Agreed, it has deadline day written all over it. It's a shame that Aaron's looks as if he's Leeds bound. The thought of Bree as our starting RB makes me feel nauseous

Martin/Wilcox clearly see his future away from the club (rightly so) with the failed move to Turkey and stripping him of the number 4 shirt.

So who replaces JWP? Grimes (28), Hamer (26)? These players won't come cheap and can't see them being brought in quickly as Swansea/Coventry would need to secure replacements Personally I'd prefer Hamer, a better age and his contract expires next summer. Also if we do have any interest in Piroe I can't see Swansea selling us their best 2 players considering the Martin debacle.

£30m is a poor fee if this figure is correct. Looks as if it most of it is up front though

3-0

The three times the price is relevant in that West Ham are the interested club. I never mentioned they played the same position. As others have mentioned he is worth a lot more to us and could prove the difference in bouncing straight back up, which in itself is worth £100m. I personally think he will go, and likely for a fee of £40m with achievable add ons up to the £45m mark. I'd of though the CoT (Circle of Tits) would know the price Wilcox has placed on JWP anyway, or are you all too busy sniggering at memes back and forth over DM

I disagree. Is rice three times the player of JWP? A model professional that barely misses a minute, covers the most ground and arguably the best set piece taker in the world. Add to that the English player tax it adds up to a lot more despite his age. Granted, the club may have a gentleman's agreement with him, but given how stubborn Wilcox has been with prices so far this summer I think our agreed valuation is likely closer to £50m
