Saint NL Posted 29 August, 2025 Posted 29 August, 2025 I've been asked by two different West Ham fans what Fernandes is like. So either West Ham fans just don't take an interest in other teams, or Fernandes has flown under the radar somewhat.

Simple. Shame to lose him but happy with the replacements. 47% of the Portuguese squad currently play in leagues ranked at or below Championship level. 'Hypocrite of the Week' award on its way to Mr Martinez... 2
benjii Posted 29 August, 2025 Posted 29 August, 2025 1 hour ago, Chez said: Proper PL quality players almost always depart on relegation, so no surprise he departed at all. I thought for a second the £50m price tag might be a red line and be too high, but no. If we get promoted and West Ham relegated, would you take him back? Nah. Just Hojbjerg with smoother edges.
Saint NL Posted 29 August, 2025 Posted 29 August, 2025 When Potter is sacked and Mourinho is the new West Ham manager, I wonder how Fernandes will feel.

die Mannyschaft Posted 29 August, 2025 Posted 29 August, 2025 4 hours ago, Totton Saint said: We are, or should be a FC not factory Most clubs are player factories that's how they keep afloat. With ridiculously high wags for playing a game clubs like Saints are a selling club. And it will only get worse. Don't think we have kept hold of any top class player in last 5 years. Saints are also a stepping stone club, playercome here to to take tgd next transfer to develop. That's the worry I have with local derby games as most players don't have any affiliation to Saints so its not a priority. Or been here long enough to realise it a derby v Pompey.
davefizzy14 Posted 30 August, 2025 Posted 30 August, 2025 Good luck to Matty, wish he had stayed as he is a gem of a player. 2
spyinthesky Posted 31 August, 2025 Posted 31 August, 2025 (edited) According to the West Ham fans, Fernandes made a great impression on his debut and the initial view is that, if he continues to play like he did today, he will be snapped up by a bigger club, which would provide us with a decent sell on figure, if that happens. Seems the Hammers fans have taken to KWP too but dear old JWP, who started so well at the Dildo Dome, now seems to be well down the order of the favourites. Edited 31 August, 2025 by spyinthesky
gio1saints Posted 31 August, 2025 Posted 31 August, 2025 Both him and KWP played very well indeed. I like him playing with their #10 Paqueta who is a top top and very intelligent footballer will bring him along for sure. Mattie is a star player basically and destined to play for his country in big matches my belief. 2

He did I watched the first 80 minute missed all the goals but he was very good as was KWP. Ward Prowse had a typical ward Prowse game, he was okay worked really hard covered lots of ground did all the stuff that people don’t notice. I thought at the time West Ham fans wouldn’t take to him for those reasons and seems to be the case 1
LegalEagle Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I see that PSG are after Fernandes. Did we have a sell on clause?

Graziano94 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Came here to ask this exact question. 15% of profit could be very helpful to balance the books if the perspective transfer fees are to be believed.
SaintTex Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I think I posted this a few weeks ago, but Fernandes' sale (€44.00m) paid for: Leo €9.00m Fellows €9.25m Aziz €13.90m Jander €12.00m Peretz (loan fee €500k) Larin (loan) Total : (€44.65m) 5

TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted April 23 Posted April 23 We all loved Fernandes like we’re now loving Sienza, will we still be loving him if he’s poached in the summer? I’m still a bit of a Matty fan as I probably would be with Leo in similar circumstances.

I can't imagine he'd go for a significant enough amount that 15% of profit would go very far for us. He'll probably sell for £60million tops.

Saint86 Posted April 23 Posted April 23 (edited) 6 hours ago, AlexLaw76 said: Why are you quoting this in Euros? I presume he was quoting transfermarket, which states all monetary values in euros. Its not like the unit matters when comparing like for like anyway 😅 Edited April 23 by Saint86

Oldandtired Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Reportedly (gossiply) West Ham have put a price of 84mill on his head. Have we got any skin in the game on that? 1
