With Christian Benteke looking likely to join Crystal Palace now they've accepted a £25 million bid for Bolasie.

Wilfried Bony looking like the replacement for Lukaku when his transfer to Chelsea finally happens.

It does kind of look like we are missing out on players while waiting for Bacca to make up his mind.

I agree with you Mike, Slimani would be a great signing. I'd definitely take him over Bacca.

I must admit, I am also a little alarmed at our persistent interest in attacking midfield players. Ghezzal, Odegaard are two more that we're apparently looking at. How many more do we need? are we looking for Payet replacements? Is that why we are still after creative midfielders? It concerns me if that is the case.

Totally agree. I think as soon as aplayer comes available we like them. We need to stay level headed to sign needed players. A RB and a striker will do. Payet will stay. I think a transfer the size of that would of become public knowledge and would require weeks of prior preparation and negotiation.

Galatasary have now signed Cavana (RB) so should will no longer be looking to get Debuchy on loan from Arsenal.

This would be a brilliant 1 year loan with option to buy if west ham can get it done!

hi fellas, ULTIMATUM issued by WH to BACCA, ( thank goodness) Saturday evening 8pm that's it come in or don't! IRONMIKE.



09 Aug 2016 13:22:20
Hi Mike, have we made an offer for slimani?



09 Aug 2016 13:38:22
NO, but they must now be aware of the situation, in Lisbon. Keep your toes crossed. IRONMIKE.

Quick question if anyone can answer do clubs get insurance on these players they spend rediculous amounts of money on does anyone no only takes 1 bad tackle and career could be over.



{Ed002's Note - Yes, clubs insure the players.}

Hi Mike. What's the rumour that we are after odegaard? He's one for the future but do we really need him? We have tonnes of mf's!



09 Aug 2016 12:19:45
He is a petulant 17 year old, who thinks he's a world class player, which at this time he isn't. IF WH can find the space and development strategy for him, and have aright to buy at a reasonable price, THEN it may be worthwhile, just to loan him for, a fee for the season don't bother IRONMIKE.



{Ed002's Note - Sorry Mike. Odegaard is not available for a one season loan - but two seasons. There will be no "right to buy" at any price. I have already explaine dthe deal they are looking for.}

09 Aug 2016 12:53:09
THEN don't bother at all! Regards Mike.



{Ed002's Note - I would agree.}

I wish the board would come out and explain the bacca and calleri situation.



09 Aug 2016 13:00:00
What is there to explain that you are probably not already aware of, Bacca has everybody jumping up and down like puppets, on a will he won't he basis, on Calleri I'm sorry at this time I don't share the complete confidence of WH on getting him in Barcelona are VERY much in this! I would say this is no more than 60/ 40 chance to WH, IRONMIKE.
