anyone heard or thie coufal who we are signing? he is a RB from slavia prague like soucek.
{Ed002's Note - The interest has been there for some time but the club cannot get their preferred choices and have returned to VC. I am not so sure it is a good idea.}

cheers ed see slavia confirm it but had no idea who he was so we are settling for like 5th choice haha typical west ham.

5th was a random guess but bloody hell we are and always will be a shambles under sullivan.
{Ed002's Note - The money is not there unless it can be raised through sales. Selling the likes of Felipe Anderson and Lanzini has been a problem because of clubs suffering pandemic-related losses and not having the money to spend - further complicated by the wages. It is not the fault of the owners.}

Because he is on 115 k a week and we would have to move or sell an ATM yes he would have improved the side he is a good player but not a position that needs filling . if C.V. does to this season like last season the wage bill for a lot of clubs is huge.

I’m a Barkley fan but the wages 115k a week is to much plus his loan fee we need a CB RB cover the only way you could justify 2 players leaving Wiltshire and one over.

Seen a few sources saying we have made a £20 Million pound bid for Fiorentina CB Nikola Milenkovic,
Haven't seen much of him but he's a big lad, plays CB and RB and only 22 years old, read that he is also a promising talent been scouted in the past by some big clubs,
What do people think?

Never seen the lad play before. I like that he's young with potential to develop and sell on for more if he plays well.
We are linked with a lot of players at the moment. Feels like the scatter gun approach is back in effect.
Martin Hinteregger (CB) - Frankfurt
Jonathan Tah (CB) - Leverkusen
Nikola Maksimovic (CB) - Napoli
Nikola Milenkovic (CB) - Fiorentina
Dennis Hadžikadunić (CB) - Rostov
Zeki Celik (RB) - Lille
Daniele Rugani (CB) - Juventus
James Tavernier (RB) - Rangers
Joe Rodon (CB) - Swansea
Chris Ajer (CB) - Celtic
This list isn't exhaustive either and level of interest probably varies.

Sky Sports saying we are bidding for Vladmir Coufal from Slavia Prague.
{Ed002's Note - Slavia Prague have indeed said that West Ham have returned - it is a surprise and he is well down the list for West Ham - but will be cheap and he is available.
Additionally, Nikola Maksimovic (CB) Everton, West Ham and Inter Milan have all spoken to Napoli about Maksimovic.}

I have to say I’m surprised we are in for Vladimir Coufal. Having seen his stats his average at best. His ratings are mid 6.5 out of 10 in Czech league.
I’m pretty sure Ben Johnson would be comparable to that. Just seems a lot of money for an average player.
{Ed002's Note - I agree.}

29 Sep 2020 14:57:43
I know nothing of Coufal, but do we seriously believe we will get any more than an average at best player, with our financial implications? But after Sunday’s performance do we need any more than cover? ⚒⚒⚒.

29 Sep 2020 15:21:47
Ed, is he valued at £4m, if so why don’t they just buy him if they want him?
{Ed002's Note - I would doubt it would be any more Stevie. The lesson to be learned is don't buy players simply for the sake of it.}

Soucek will, I’m sure, have an opinion on how good he might, or might not be.

29 Sep 2020 19:22:43
I’m with Ed on this one. Why buy for the sake of buying. Based upon his player ratings, it makes more sense to loan him and see how he shapes than buy him outright, no matter how low the price. If he’s say £4m and we pay him £20,000 a week which isn’t much. On a 4 year contract that’s still £8m wasted if he languishes in the reserves.

29 Sep 2020 19:37:30
I would seen they have seen enough videos of him and scouted him this loan move maybe due to fredericks limping of.

Mac. You need to realise that it’s a strange old time with clubs facing financial difficulty.
I don’t think it’s a case of leaving it too late. I think it’s a case if trying to bring in first choice players on a limited budget and having to look down the bottom of the list now.
What you will probably find is that instead of buying players like Tarkowski who we can’t afford and putting them straight into the side, the stance has probably changed and we will make do with what we have and start them and use some 2nd or 3rd choices as back up players.
This I was always going to be the plan if we couldn’t get players we want. However, if we can’t get the 1st choice players who improve the side then it’s better to loan other players until we top up the coffers, make do with what we have and buy the 1st choice players in next window.
Makes perfect business sense to me mate.

Even if just 4 mill that is 4 mill less we have to spend on someone else. I can see why they might have tried the loan for cover but can’t see why we would buy.

Mac. You say you understand the financial situation then talk about matching other clubs valuations of players we want.
Firstly, only clubs like Man City, Barcelona and Real Madrid can be flippant with their decisions, not other club.
Secondly, you clearly don’t grasp the implications of keeping a football club afloat and liquid.
Agree0

30 Sep 2020 20:12:17
I think you need to pay attention to what the rest of the footballing world does to improve themselves. A totally different philosophy to west ham. They identify targets snd go get them not the gold and sullivan way of mulling pondering preparing bids which are a disgrace and when refused move down the list again and again finally settling on players through sheer desperation. Successful clubs get one or two that they need and only need and don't scatter bid to see who will bite at the cheapest price.

30 Sep 2020 20:53:21
Mac3.
I do understand the frustrations. As a fan, I too get riled by bidding low. What is important to note is that pellegrini spent over £180m in less than 2 years.
This is a massive investment by the club and potentially still have outstanding payments on many of these players.
For me, no matter how disappointing it is, I would rather see our club live to fight another day than go to the wall.

Fantastic win last night shows we do have the fight to move on, the system worked well
ED002, I reading so much that Chelsea are coming in this week for a bid for Rice, if they really wanted why wait to the last min to bid?, do you think they may offer a couple of players plus money for Rice, to entice to sale, maybe a DM involved in the bid?
Thank you in advance.
{Ed002's Note - If Chelsea do make an offer they will look to include a player in the deal, but I suspect WHU would prefer cash if they are even considering a sale.}

28 Sep 2020 16:20:49
Ed02 I think it’s a bit late in the day to sell we would need to replace dec which won’t be easy if we had lost yesterday the pressure would been on the board to come up with cash for which may have pushed the rice sale through. I don’t expect him to be at west ham next year but given the current market circumstances if he is sold do it in the beginning of the window when it does benefit us I know some fans are calling for or Barkley Kante/ 140 k a week Barkley 1/ 120 a week our biggest problem is an unbalanced squad and our main target is a CB does mean moyes is looking to go to a 352.
{Ed002's Note - Thomas Soucek could cover but WHU need the money and a CB is top priority. They will resist I would think if an offer is made. Obviously Kante is not an option but Barkley certainly is.}
Agree0
Disagree0
28 Sep 2020 21:38:48
We would lose Souceks goals if he has to sit deeper like Rice. Really doesn't make sense why we would sell our best player with so little time to get replacements. If a mammoth bid comes in at the start of a window and you have plenty of time to reshape the squad then maybe we should consider it but not now that ship has sailed.
Agree0
Disagree0
29 Sep 2020 14:57:35
And Barkley on 100/ 120 k a week I’m not saying Barkley would not improve the team but we have an abundance of ATM we just need to balance the squad out and play to our strengths we always seem play a right footer on the left and if yarms is on the right we have a very narrow midfield with very little space to play in. they very rarely put crosses into the box Anderson will put a poor cross in or run into to many bodies.
Agree0
Disagree0
29 Sep 2020 19:26:00
The timing is well and truly ludicrous if Chelsea bid for Rice. Even if they have is £80m (which they won’t) we will never find a replacement on time.
If they want Rice, then they should make an agreement with West Ham to take him at the end of the season. This is IF and ONLY IF Rice wants to go and the deal is a good one for us.
The only thing they will do coming in with a bid this late, is unsettle Rice and affect his game.

I like to think that we can hold on to Dec but i can't see that happening, we need players decent players to come in and let's face it the only way is to sell Rice he will free up enough money to buy 2-3 players with the money from previous sales, if we don't the writing is on the wall RELEGATION LOOMS
Cn anyone see any other options that will work because i cant.

At least the money for Rio was used to build the old Dr Martens stand at Upton Park. Rice's sale will go straight into DGS back pocket.

25 Sep 2020 10:43:34
Rice is not going to save us on his own, the truth is we as a club simply do not deserve an outstanding player, why should he be held back, you can’t keep a dissatisfied player, look at Arnautovic! £30m plus a couple of excess to requirements from Chelsea would be a good deal, cash in while we can! ⚒⚒⚒.

You play with the Dec you’ve got until something else is on the cards.
Agree0

25 Sep 2020 14:33:19
There is a strong reason for Dec to stay, and that is the fact that he will get experience captaining a side in the PL with us this season. If he is confident in his ability, then there WILL be suitors for him next summer again, and proving himself as a captain will only help him develop and get bigger interest.
His contract is long, so i do not think WHU will lose out too much on his value if he stays.
No guarantees in today's football, i hope he stays though.
I fear the main battle at the moment is Sullivan and transfers. Sullivan spent big on Pellegrini's wishlist and look where it got us. Now Moyes wants to spend all our budget on one player, and Sullivan is nervous to do so after all the spending under MP. Understandable IMO, he may hesitate putting all his eggs in Moyes's basket like he did for Pellegrini, Moyes did buy Hugill after all. If there is any time to align with the manager though it is now, and CB is CLEARLY an area we need to improve.

I think how we performed against Arsenal the other night shows that we can stay in the premier league and not be relegated. True, if we want to push on, we need new players, but I still think we can improve on last season with Bowen and Soucek.

25 Sep 2020 15:22:41
Nick, my sole reason for saying let him go as I said was, no point in trying to shackle a player that could be resentful of WH refusing his move if there is indeed an offer for him?
He seems a very, stable, level headed man possibly mature beyond his years, if he felt he needed more experience in any footballing way that he could get with us, to consolidate his future in football then he would remain! I think we can can kick on with or without Rice but obviously if he remained it would be a massive bonus for us! ⚒⚒⚒⚒.
Agree0

25 Sep 2020 22:12:46
I'm a yes or no man if he wants to go let him go it does nobody any good by digging your heels in and saying he ain't going, we don't know what's be said so its pointless guessing if or not he's asked for the move to Chelsea my brothers quite well informed by people at Chelsea and its gone quiet on RICE so weather declans trying to get talks moving I doubt but if he's going to be sold please let's not do it near the end of the window and leaving us no time to get a replacement in but with SGB nothing would surprise me. COYI.
Agree0

25 Sep 2020 22:33:11
I say let him go. His value ‘may’ reduce if we struggle, plus Chelsea could offer us some players plus cash for him should we want. Let’s be honest, most Chelsea players would improve our 11. If we could get 2 of them plus £20-30m we cannot lose. Specifically as we hold the trump card. Rice.
Loftus Cheek, Barkley, Abrahams, Alonso, Rudiger would improve our team.

I’ve never heard any mention of him wanting to leave and recruitment has been difficult enough Barkley would improve the squad but it in defense but on 120 k a week. the problem we have players ain’t joining us to win trophy’s it’s for above average wages which makes them difficult to move on .

26 Sep 2020 18:05:45
if he chooses to leave I say let the lad go to where he feels is right for him and his career and then if we can benefit from it so be it. Above all, west ham football club comes first and if we could get a great deal out of it we would be crazy to refuse.
