Diouf, Brentford have made firm offer tonight £36 m plus 4.5 m addons, it’s all about the structure of the deal. Now, WH have told the bees whilst they will accept the offer, In principle, they have to make large down payment. No long term contract either.

Wow £41m for Diouf!!! That's ridiculously high for a player I didn't think was that special last year. Go get Harrison Burrows.

I quite rate him to be fair and think Brentford will turn him into a monster, but at that price we probably have to accept.

I hope to God Joyful can shed some light on potential replacements for Diouf and AWB?

It's all a balance, merry-go-round:

Club finances
Player's preferences
Available cover in the existing squad
New money for further reinforcements

And so on and so on.

All things considered, I'd take this deal.

It's a question of circumstances. To be fair, the player never gave any problems. Unlike many others, he never asked to leave. It is what it is.
Unfortunately West Ham could sell the whole current squad, and get nowhere near the whole debt, but Kretinsky has done fantastic on sales.
Now we must bring in players.

Mac, Veltman cover for wp is all that looks likely for AWB.

Lb is a different story, Burrows is the obvious candidate. They're already looking. Sheff Utd will sell, remains to be seen.
