Cheeky bet on WH to go down perhaps.

SNSUN Posted 5 September, 2020 Share Posted 5 September, 2020 9 hours ago, SuperSAINT said: Good article about it in The Athletic. Neither Moyes or Bilic expected it to happen.. West Ham need to sell-to-buy. They basically expected to lose Rice (or others) but nothing transpired, so they had to sell him instead to fund defensive reinforcements. West Ham fans on KUMB are a bit cross over the Diangana sale, I read it as they believe GSB are asset stripping them. Anderson may soon be off to Arsenal too on a cheap loan. They're not exactly blessed with attacking options and yet Moyes wants to strengthen Central Defence which for me, a non-fan looking in, is possibly their strongest position after Rice and Soucek in midfield. Crazy club...and there was me tipping them to have a decent season! Watch Chelsea swoop for Rice late in the window... Link to post Share on other sites
DT Posted 5 September, 2020 Share Posted 5 September, 2020 Just listening to LBC and a reporter said he was a Saints fan. Presenter Andrew Castle said he was a mate of Ryan Bertrand’s. ‘I hope he stays’, says Castle. Bit odd. Thought he was signed up. Then I see us linked to a new right back Czech Republic player on Instagram. Weird. Link to post Share on other sites

Dusic Posted 5 September, 2020 Share Posted 5 September, 2020 (edited) Considering Covid and the sponsorship fiasco it seems a sensible summer from Saints. At the end of the season if you had asked which positions we need to strengthen pretty much everyone would have said RB (KWP or other) and CB. We have done that. All that has changed is the sale of PEH. If we dont sign another CM then its silly and asking for trouble. If we do, and don't lose anyone key, then its been a good window in the context of being a club without mega bucks. Edited 5 September, 2020 by Dusic Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_clark Posted 5 September, 2020 Share Posted 5 September, 2020 Still can't help feeling we might be better off getting in an experienced player from a top club on loan for the season and buy a permanent midfield fixture next summer when we have more funds available, rather than buying a mediocre midfielder now and being lumbered with them when they inevitably don't become part of our long term plans.

I agree, especially Chelsea who seem to have way too many CM’s on the books. players like RLC, Barkley, Billy Gimour + a number of younger players would add some much needed quality to our midfield.

Hadn't heard of him before he moved to Charlton on loan. Scored a few goals for them and got really good reviews. Pretty sure he's bound for Palace on loan -- Alan Nixon has been saying for a while that Chelsea are waiting on him to sign a new deal before they green-light the loan. 6 minutes ago, S-Clarke said: Apart from Chelsea!

It's not like we're 300 miles from London, pretty much straight up the m3. Bertrand lives just outside of London anyway, so I can't see that being a problem. Plus, once he see's west quay and the Marland's, there's no going back to London. Link to post Share on other sites
HarvSFC Posted 5 September, 2020 Share Posted 5 September, 2020 West Ham have a fan base that can never be pleased. Complaining about a lack of investment despite reportedly putting in a £27m bid for Tarkowski and just last year they spent £24m on Fornals, £45m on Haller and £22m on Bowen. £36m on Felipe Anderson the year before that.

I tend to agree. Maybe a loan, but then they'd want to play as much as possible and would need to be real competition for Romeu, but possibly an Armstrong type signing - older and with reasonable experience - who can offer an alternative to Smallbone etc off the bench or if we get injuries.

S-Clarke Posted 6 September, 2020 Share Posted 6 September, 2020 £3.5m for Boufal? Absolute loose change again, but what can you do.
