Hi Guys do you think that maybe DGS didn't want to spend big in this window because they want to see how results and performances go to the end of the season and then if not happy they won't give Bilic a new contract and give a new Manager a bigger budget?

GroutyHammer

1.) 03 Feb 2017 10:52:30
100 % No, Billic obviously thought the team was good enough to last out the season. Instead of spending top dollar on 3rd 4th choice in January we can go for 1st and 2nd options when they're more likely to be available in the summer.


2.) 03 Feb 2017 19:31:37
We're not buying anyone in the summer, the best thing you can do if you love West Ham is not renew your season ticket!


3.) 03 Feb 2017 21:29:55
As I said in a previous post you would probably have to overpay for players in January, maybe his thinking is get through this season, start next with a stronger squad?

See some rumour this morning saying we are after Kevin Malcuit RB for St Etienne anyone know anymore about this also if we are looking at Harry Maguire at Hull does anyone think Ginge might go

GroutyHammer

1.) 30 Jan 2017 10:40:01
Hey Grouty, not seen the Malcuit rumour myself and I know nothing about the player. However we need a right back to play second fiddle to Byram in my opinion anyway.

With regards to Harry Maguire, if we sign him I think he is only going to be back up to Reid and Fonte. Unless we revert back to playing 3 centre backs and 2 wing backs. Which would allow Kouyate to move back up into midfield. You've got to bare in mind that Ogbonna is out for the remainder of the season and I think signing Maguire would just sure up the numbers in defence. I don't think Collins will be sold, especially not in this window.

Also, all this talk about Joe Hart, I'd take him in a heart beat. Adrian' contract expires in the summer (although we can still activate the 2 year extension in his contract at any point in between now and the summer) .

Just announced on ssn that we have agreed to sell Payet to Marseille

GroutyHammer

1.) 29 Jan 2017 16:18:58
Now go get braithwaite for gods sake

{Ed002's Note - Hogan is the target.}


2.) 29 Jan 2017 16:27:52
All this over hogan and we don't know if he will pass the medical, be a lot of wasted time if he fails . Unless this is more about finances and needing to get payet resolved first


3.) 29 Jan 2017 16:29:05
if we also lose calleri we've lost two strikers this window to replace with hogan? My maths ain't what it used to be and of course we may yet sell feghouli and braithwaite can double up out wide. Just a thought pmsl.


4.) 29 Jan 2017 16:35:33
I would imagine that Martinez can be recalled though Phil


5.) 29 Jan 2017 16:32:32
Oh yeah and we may well lose Fletcher to Leeds and Martinez has gone oxford. What's that ed? Four strikers out and hogan in? Brilliant!


6.) 29 Jan 2017 16:43:19
I think all the West Ham fans should chip in to get the£1.5m that West Ham were short for Braithwaite and make Phil a happy man, lol.


7.) 29 Jan 2017 16:58:05
Got to trust Phil it's the only thing that keeps me sane :) anyway I'm looking forward to Wednesday night, new faces and a team that looks together :) plus we can't be as bad as the fa cup game again :) , do we know if AC is fit?


8.) 30 Jan 2017 11:29:43
Calleri is staying.


 

 

27 Jan 2017 18:37:25
Anyone else reckon that we are delaying on Hogan as we are using this as a smokescreen to go after someone else?

GroutyHammer

1.) 27 Jan 2017 18:42:29
Don't mention Braithwaite! Phil is watching :) I'm not convinced we will go through with Hogan but in fairness there hasn't been a quiet approach for anyone that hasn't ended up being very public knowledge . So I doubt it but this is West Ham so who's knows lol


2.) 27 Jan 2017 18:53:06
Braithwaite?


3.) 27 Jan 2017 18:59:37
Happy with mr snodgrass Phil? And yes I'm on your side a full price offer to tolouse would be great but unlikely sadly, do you reckon hogan a smokescreen? ( I don't )


4.) 27 Jan 2017 21:33:12
Snodgrass at £7m with add ons is a steal. Hard worker and great dead ball specialist gives us nice balance and chips in with goals so got to be happy. Now let's get rid of payet and get hogan. braithwaite is my choice at his price and with his pace and power but it would take something extraordinary to get Toulouse to do any business with us and I fear its getting that way with a few clubs after the way we've conducted our business.


 

 

27 Jan 2017 18:27:45
Just announced the signing of Snodgrass on ssn 7 mill rising to 10 mill

GroutyHammer

1.) 27 Jan 2017 19:02:21
Well pleased with that snodgrass one side antonio other 2 goalscoring hard working wingers with has the jewel in the middle

Just gave out on ssn that if anyone has this seasons shirt with Payet on it then they can take it back to any West Ham shop and exchange it for another named shirt but you have still got to pay £25 for it!

GroutyHammer

1.) 30 Jan 2017 13:04:09
Negotiations have started with Hogan, AGAIN! Gues that means no to Braithwaite but we are sending Flecther and Oxford out on loan?


2.) 30 Jan 2017 14:17:28
HOGAN deal will happen today 100% certain of that because I've never been wrong before ever, ever, . Lol.


3.) 30 Jan 2017 16:12:43
Never?


4.) 30 Jan 2017 22:39:04
That's what I meant to pay I mean say. Lol. Phil. lol


 

 

30 Jan 2017 10:54:01
Hi DIE 4 the RB position still needs to be sorted as Byram is always going to pick up bookings and face suspension so need cover, maybe the club feel they might get by using Norveidt if they had to until the summer and look at this again then.
As regards Hart I think most fans would welcome us signing him in the summer only thing is Randolph would then be back up again how would he react to that?

GroutyHammer

1.) 30 Jan 2017 11:55:25
We need forwards? Calleri is staying but Fletcher going to Leeds, Martinez to Oxford!


 

 

14 Jan 2017 14:39:09
Agree Stevie why is calleri on bench when Martinez is overlooked again, unless he is injured?

GroutyHammer

 

 

13 Jan 2017 15:50:16
Anyone else like me fed up with this winter transfer window, my position on transfers should be that teams have to buy players before the season starts that way managers know the players they have for the whole season if you get injuries tough have to play the younger players then end of season players can go only lower league sides should have winter window to be able to take players on loan from premier/ championship.

If Payet is allegedly not wanting to train and or play for us how does the club stand regards his wages?

GroutyHammer

{Ed002's Note - We really don't want to get involved in that sort of speculative discussion.}


1.) 12 Jan 2017 12:12:50
A bit of speculation already is that Payet may well end up at Arsenal. We could end up with OX, Jenks and Wilshire


2.) 12 Jan 2017 12:21:40
Preferably Morgan Sanson and Snodgrass


3.) 12 Jan 2017 12:43:03
Arsene wenger wouldn't pay that sort of money for a 29 year old it's well known his philosophy on ageing players


4.) 12 Jan 2017 12:45:59
Hi Phil

Isn't the point of all this with Payet that he want to go back to Marseille?,

As much as his attitude stinks and has acted disgracefully, we can't cut of our nose to spite our face. If we can get £30m plus from Marseille than ship him on his way, in the baggage compartment on Euro star, and go and get some much needed replacements which we will be able to afford. let's not let this drag on and on just to make a point.

With this unprofessional stance the lad must want to leave so much, so although it sticks in everyone throat let him go get the best possible price and move on. It happened before at clubs and will happen again, what ever we can't do is sell to another Prem club as personally that would wind me up hearing his name every week

{Ed002's Note - Players are transient and they come and go. It is no big deal although you seem to think West Ham are somehow special - they are not.}


5.) 12 Jan 2017 13:26:19
I agree Ed players are transient but not of all of them act in such a way. I surprised by your comments. again, of course Westham are special to all that post on westham rumours, and in turn if your not a westham fan than of course this saga does not matter, . but we are westham fans and it does matter to us, and we are reacting as another club fans would do if their best player acted in such a way.

I have wanted to comment for a long time how dismissive you come across to some posting their opinion on here, that's the point of the site, and just because some are not as knowledgeable as you on some facts, your comments are sometimes blantentley rude, but as you have the big word ED002 Note I suppose you can get away with it!

{Ed002's Note - It makes a lot of sense for you to just not bother reading anything I write - clearly it disturbs you. I explained a couple of weeks ago about Payet and what Marseille were planning- all I got was the morons dribbling out rubbish on a subject they know nothing about. You want to read the Bermondsey Advertiser or whatever paper it is that gives you all of the West Ham "bid gone in" bullshit with your Kleenex in your hand, then I am sure you will be much happier than reading anything I have provided.

Alternatively I will not provide anything for this page - I am sure you can get everything you need from Twitter or Facebook.}


6.) 12 Jan 2017 14:27:32
Its not what you provide Ed, its the way you come across, you are sometimes dismissive to people who are airing their opinion,

Im sure your facts and info are valid, but as in your last reply about Morans Drbbling On, so what if someone posts something that they may not understand, isn't this what it is all about people with opinions weather they choose to ignore facts or not? . Its a Forum

Im sorry you have reacted in a way, it was not meant to be a criticism but observation in some of your reply's which do come across as sometimes rude as mentioned

If you wish not to provide anything for this page it will be a shame as you do provide good insight as mentioned above, my comments where in no way against your knowledge of facts but how you reply to some you seem to get annoyed at.

{Ed002's Note - You can all manage on your own for a while then.}


7.) 12 Jan 2017 18:15:10
Oooops :-) I agree with you warrington about Payet. I just hope we can move on from this and go get some players that can srengthen our midfield. Then sort the back 4 out and go get the hogan deal done


8.) 13 Jan 2017 01:48:32
Yes West Ham are special, but so are every club to their supporters. The thing is the only constant is the supporters. Players will come and go, managers, owners, just a shame to have someone who has acted so petulantly, but he will soon be history and in the long term he won't be but a blip on the history of the club. Remember Ince wearing a Man Utd shirt before anyone even knew he wanted to leave, but the club didn't die because of it. I just hope Payet gets his wish and ends up back in France so we don't have to see him play for another Premier league side and despite all the issues this season the club will kick on again and the stadium deal is still a damn good deal that means we don't have the financial difficulties that we had a few years back.
