Might get stick for this but we need to go get DEFOE.

Paul I said that at the beginning of this transfer merry go round, why is everyone forgetting Fletcher give the boy a chance.

What always amazes me is that if WE CAN see where there a GLARING Problems and we can identify potential solutions how on earth can DGS and SB Not see the same issues and address them, or are they so superior that they don't believe they need to fill positions of need. We could have got Borthwick Jackson who was brilliant when brought in by Manchester United last year. We could have got Bony by now (don't tell me his wages are too much cause we pay Payet £120,000 a week and am sure there would have been room to move) . All summer we have messed or been messed about making ludicrous bids which have been refused, the latest of which we offer £6.2m and then £7m for Ghezal (another WINGER for gods sake) when Lyon value him at £13m, Why even bother because its not going to be accepted. How many more loan players or freebies will we get this summer.

Phil. its all well and good getting on the boards and managers back when things don't go well and yes it can be frustrating. But. jus try remember where we were before dgs came in.

We have a good squad and I'm sure the Chelsea result would of been different if we didn't have half the team out with injuries. I agree with the point about identifying targets and another winger in our eyes are stupid.

Just because the papers say we want him desnt mean we actually do. We all know where we need to invest and I'm sure SB does too. We have been so unlucky with injuries and unfortunately it has left us wth not much more money to spend.

Yes, we would love a 20 goal a season striker. Yes we need a Rb. But that's the only areas we need. Its only mid August. Still time. Have some faith. Appreciate where things could of gone without dgs.

Ayew out till Xmas only at westham!



17 Aug 2016 22:23:07
Then off to afcon haha what a joke.



17 Aug 2016 20:08:11
Ohhhhh that's really bad Antonio one of best players last season SB pull finger out of ass.



17 Aug 2016 20:01:42
Apparently payet is out for 2 weeks is this true?



17 Aug 2016 20:50:45
2 weeks means 2 months I rekon.



17 Aug 2016 19:26:08
I know it's only one game but already feel this is not going to be the season we were thinking it would be! With Sullivan talking for months about buying a 20/ 30 million striker and not even getting close to one they really have given fans false hope and made us bit of a laughing stock I hope he learns his lesson and keep his mouth shut! And I hope this talk of Robson - Kanu is just that talk! Why when we look at players and know the price do we make stupid offers no wonder we can't sign anyone and why did we offer such stupid money for ayew yet quibble for other players that I think could have been better for us sorry but I just don't see what others see in ayew? Hope I'm proved wrong but don't think I will!



17 Aug 2016 18:17:15
Mike QPR fans have christened him Junior Toilet as he is that bad. as for Robso Kanu he played 3 decent games in a poor euro competition and is not premiership quality. All these top players we are being linked with is exactly the same as what happened at Birmingham when D&S ran them. It feels so close and yet so far.



17 Aug 2016 19:06:23
3 goals in 28 championship games for kanu would be pointless just play youngsters, ayew is out for up to 4 monthes aswell apparantly.



17 Aug 2016 19:27:59
IM not SUGGESTING anybody, only tell of the names that are run past me, BUT all this we can cope business is palpable nonsense, WE couldn't cope, with all these fixtures EVEN IF we had no injuries, BUT now we do, EXPECT more incomings and outgoings it's going to be busy, WE have to lay some money out, WE don't SEEM to have much luck with newbies that's for sure, fortunes still hiding!, A SWAP package with Torino looking likely they value OBiang at 7m euro we at 8m, they value maxim at 30m euro expect a bid of 20m euro plus OBiang we need quality in, Talks are underway, IRONMIKE.



17 Aug 2016 18:39:57
We won't get Robson kanu. Surely not and hoilett. Surely dgs kow better. If we can't get this striker make up with sakho. Everyone has hissy fits. don't they ed. Make up with him. got no one better have we.



17 Aug 2016 23:03:35
Torino value at 8m euros we value 7m euros so that's deal gone than, I really feel all this transfer bids are all a big con, DGS have given us all hope only to have bullshitted us all to sell tickets, this is going tits up, the DGS know what there doing, expect a foreign buyer soon, they have done there job in putting hundreds of millions on the club price to sell, kerrching for the David's.

Hi Hammers: Celtic fan here looking for some genuine help--
Re tickets.

My Son (15) over the last 2 season has taken a big liking for the Hammers. We stay in Glasgow and i`m looking to get him down to a Home at the new ground. So it will need to go on his Santa list (in case kids are on here) .
Whats the chances of getting general sale tickets and how far in advance can I get them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and all the best for the season.



17 Aug 2016 19:43:26
Hi Celtic fan. It's very difficult to get tickets at present, because everything's so new and people who didn't buy season tickets are clamouring for alook at the stadium, my advise would be let things settle down a bit wait until end October / beginning November, when the weather turns a bit, I'm sure you will then meet with success, IRONMIKE.



17 Aug 2016 21:14:06
IRONMIKE thanks appreciate the help.



17 Aug 2016 16:15:07
HI felllas OK first one down looks to be GHEZZAL WH bid of 7m Everton have bid 11,5m also have offered better terms, don't think we are going anywhere with this one. NEXT MAXIM this has been going on since early APRIL, he is what we need, BUT will we pay the price! IF a terms are agreed? Torino want 22m euro, NEXT BONY there has been no WH interest whatsoever, AS I INFORMED everyone the wages on his man city contract are the problem. CITY called WH some time ago to ask IF they wanted a loan deal, it was reasonable, BUT they want his, wages paid, that was met with an immediate no, and that's the reason EVERTON havnt signed him as yet AS they cannot make a wage agreement at oresent WH WOULD BUY him for 13m, which would be acceptable to city, BUT they would then have to let BONY have that money as a contract payoff . Which at the moment they don't want to do, HOWEVER it. May still come to that, BENTEKE this is even more ridiculous, LIVERPOOL have already spoken to WH and again want a reasonable amount for a loan to buy this is not the problem WH think he is overpriced at 32m, and WH think he is worth closer to 20m and On this occasion I think that's about right PALACE wanted to buy BENTEKE for. 32 m and put clauses in their with goals CL football cup wins etc plain ridiculous, NOT ONE CLUB, has made abid for, SISSOKO, this is where in my own opinion we may force a deal for a very good player, I am told 20m will buy him, with him and kouyate we could force the pace and get link up play without payet or Lanzini, two different styles if you like WH unfortunately are not bold enough, we need to think outside the box. lastly, don't be suprised to hear about junior hoilett or robson kanu both free agents IRONMIKE.



17 Aug 2016 16:27:14
SO let's get this right, we bid £7m for a player Lyon value at £13m?

And we would be willing to buy Bony for £13m? What would happen about his huge wage demands which seem to be the sticking point!



17 Aug 2016 17:04:16
HI PHIL As I said. The player is not going to, swallow his contract at man city, he is going to want a pay off, would any player be much different? He is going to want that 13 m as his pay off, so IF you like he will leave city on afree, WH would probably get him for 90k a week which he would then sign for, SWansea have moved on, BUT everton WBA and Arsenal, would be interested IF that situation came fo pass, , EVEN allowing for injuries, We'are way short of two complete teams which are going to be needed should we progress in this competition IRONMIKE.



{Ed002's Note - The asking price for Bony is £30M Mike.}

17 Aug 2016 17:10:03
PLEADE Check this out ED as I NOW understand Man city have, now DROPPED the asking price to get shot of the player, regards IRONMIKE.



{Ed002's Note - They will be open to negotiation but will not be giving him away Mike. Besiktas are (possibly) interested in a loan but are in London to discuss another player.}

Just seen ayew has a thigh injury. Now I specialise in sport science. Thigh injuries can take up to 6 weeks to heal and sometimes rehabilitation can take up to 3 months. let's hope this isn't the case and its only a minor injury.



17 Aug 2016 17:49:30
Femoral nerve pain I understand, IRONMIKE.



17 Aug 2016 18:46:15
Yeah just seen he's out for a few weeks. But plus rehabilitation could be out for longer depends on how he recovers. We are cursed with injuries lol.
