Hoedt has been built up as some sort of mega signing on here. real class etc. lets wait and see. James Horncastle reported that Hoedt is 'alright' and 'wooden' with regards to his movement around the pitch

agree with you, Hoedt was always the replacement. Yoshida (who couldnt buy a start not that long ago) is now integral to us. the AM will be a alright IMO...nothing special we appear to be on our own in this league to need to sell before we buy a top player

so, we sell VvD and no one comes in to replace him then?

one thing is for sure, if we get £75m for VvD. His replacement will be in the £10-15m range and we maybe loan a forward player the accountant fans will be loving it that we got such a huge fee for a defender

but...

but man city are signing Evans not VvD...for nearly a 3rd of the price

he can get it all at liverpool More money, CL football, vastly superior exposure around the world.

but liverpool look to have plenty of ambition now IMO

what the hell are you on about? you didnt have a problem when you posted this...

nice one

WBA were unlucky not to get the win look pretty strong (at home anyway)

but will be bring is a quality AM?

i am starting to not care on this.. making a stand is noble but it wont deter others from wanting to leave. players do not give a shyt to be honest punks like redmond to sulky ***ts like bertrand. I remember when we had a core english team in the prem who (mostly came up with us) gave their all most games. great times The only thing that puts me off selling is that the money would not be used to bring in immediate quality. We would go for a 'black box' type and go for a season for them to bed in

what have you heard about in comings? good enough to start?

I honestly believe Redmond is bang average and gets a bit of a free pass because he is English. He was bang average at Norwich when they went down, was bang average last season when Puel decided he was the next Henry and bang average already this season. Pretty bemusing when a couple on here talked him up as some sort of adequate replacement for Mane 12 months ago!!!

how he is on world class money is incredible. if he was up for sale, Turkey or the Ukraine would probably be his destination. Exactly the type of player Tadic is (although, better)

Liverpool were outstanding. Granted, against a pathetic arsenal side.

I do not believe MP has the nouse to pick what we all can see..... Forster Cedric Yoshida Hoedt Bertrand Romeu Lamina Long Davis Boufal Gabbiadini McCarthy Stephens JwP Austin Tadic Redmond Hoj Tadic and Remond surely do not deserve to start. When the hell are we going to see Boufal get a run of games, ffs I would put long in their for his pace and directness, he will get closer to Gabbi going forward too. However, I am sure we will see both Tadic and Redmond start....as per

how can you sign a £52m striker and whack him on the bench in the first big game Just bizarre

or at least (for around 2 hours a week), not look like he is about to be sent down

needs a reality check acting as if the world is going to cave in, whilst picking up £50k a week playing football.

What the hell is going on there? offer little and seem to constantly start. Long surely has to come in for one of them (redmond) and offer support to gabbiadini. But those two. Jesus

west ham have let in nearly 100 goals in the last 50 games or so. incredible

watched the 2nd half, enjoyed that. Pretty end to end. what I took from the 2nd Half... Decent energy and looked to get the ball forward Redmond is a greedy, average punk (very poor on the ball and needs to sharpen up) stephens is poor in the air, can see him missing out for hoedt Long was very good when he came on. I would have in Redmonds position all day long. Good in the air, quick, direct and gets behind the their defence nearly got a win Lamina was very good from the bits that I saw Tadic, anonymous I think Gabbi is going to lose it, 3 maybe 4 times he made a great run into space (and on goal) and the ball never got anywhere near him (redmond the worst culprit) top tip for you all - NEVER watch BT Sport's take on Soccer Sat. Horrendous!
