Hi Joyful. Do you have any intel on the supposed DOF role. I have read on other sites that Nuno will play a major part in employing this position which sounds counterproductive. Whilst I think the DOF and the manager have to be able to have a working relationship you can’t have a situation where an employee chooses his own personal boss.

This will just mean it is DOF in name only. And should we expect a number more of Jorge Menendez specials coming through the door. Please no more Pablo’s.

Oddly enough I was gonna ask the same.

This Scott geeza from the Boro was pushed our way by Salthouse, and no approach has been made by us.

I tell you, they've gone on holiday and the clock is ticking!!!!

No info at present, Hammer D, sorry. All I know is there is no definite target, as the powers that be seem to be split on this one. It will get sorted, but we need to get busy.

Cheers, Joyful. Get busy? This is West Ham, and we never do anything early.

We must surely know by now which players we are selling and which we are not, and we must have an idea of who we are after as director of football, but in true West Ham fashion, no urgency to give Nuno a proper pre-season.

The transfer window isn't open until 15th June, Phil, so can't do much at the moment, but hopefully won't be as slow as usual. It's no good playing 3 or 4 games and then trying to make signings.

We are fishing in a lot smaller pool now without the lure and wages of the Premier League, and we will be playing more games this season, so need a bigger squad.

Window doesn't open, but deals have already been done elsewhere, to be announced 15 June. No need to wait for a couple to leave. West Ham have deposit monies, need to start moving, we have a little, but need to start player ins pronto.



Wolves, Burnley, Boro have their teams at 95% readiness. Soton and a few others are at 80%. It's very difficult to create a team quickly, but if we don't, you can forget any chance of getting back next season. We cannot give others a head start.

Absolutely joyful. Although we can't sign them yet, deals in principle can be agreed.

Tabloids report we are weighing up a move for Harrison Burrows (Diouf?). Also, this midfielder from Troyes (Fernandes replacement). Interest again in Stassin (replacement for Bowen?).

Taty may be staying?

We never do anything quickly. We will wait until we sell, it's what always happens. No reason that won't change now, so I doubt they will make deals until they sell unless it's frees.

Of course, it's fun reading stories about the 100 odd players that we are linked to all window, but these never happen either.



We all know what needs to be done, but the board never do, sadly, which is how we have ended up like this.
