Evening chaps and chapesses! Happy Sunday hope we are all well.
Couple of things I've heard if of any interest.
- Grealish is close to Everton with rumour of a £12m fee and them covering £250k of the wages. Don't think I believe this one as that would surely smash their wage structure?
- There is a real push on now for moving out our midfielders and Emerson. There has been interest although very little and we would have to cover some wages in some cases. Emerson to Italy, Rodriguez, san lorenzo? JWP is a preferred player for Potter as seen as a safe pair of hands but literally he would be happy to move on any of the regulars (not youth) if he can get his choice of players in with the severe lack of pace addressed. Fernandez is the top choice now and we will go in with another bid this week. El Khanous also liked (Leicester wanted us to take him and Mads in a joint deal but we wanted to keep everything separate. No idea why? Can only guess we think we can do it cheaper that way).
- A couple of random ones with no bases apart from being told. all directors want out now including Sullivan but he wants it written in that he gets a cut of any stadium deal.
- Oh and Irving is on less than £10k a week! Rodger's is keeping an eye on him but nothing concrete.

Thanks for that Lee. I'm hearing rumblings about Pellegrini from Roma (the Italian lampard apparently) . Available on a free for £115k a week but Potter wants rid before he brings another midfielder and Rodriguez, Irving and possibly JWP WILL be gone.
He don't really want alvarez either
All focus is now on the midfield.
As for Sullivan and Co. I think that the time for them at West Ham is over and the sooner a buyer who cares for the club, and who wants us heading in the right direction comes in the better

Sorry I couldn’t be of more use really, apart from stating what we all really know apart from putting a bit of meat on the bones.
Have a good one!

Thanks gents. Hope everyone’s good!
Guilherme Impressed in a behind closed door friendly at the weekend and all across the media this morning we seem to be exploring Lille’s Ngal’ayel Mukau for €20m.

Another smokescreen so they can get Fernandes on the cheap

No, keep Alvarez and put Soucek, JWP, and Rodriguez in the out tray.

Hi Moanlegs, attempt number 3. To shift out the 3 players would be, without replacements, inept at best. Can you outline who you would like to see come in and replace those 3 midfielders.
Let’s keep it realistic. I did ask you before last season which strikers you would like to see, you replied Haaland. Hopefully this isn’t as painful and long winded as last season, although we are already at attempt 3.
Considering you know so much, it’s a very simple request. Looking forward to your response.

Fernandes and lamine camara would be perfect, I'd also like us to buy charlie cresswell if we still had funds

Lee, always interested in what you say. The snippet about the board and Sullivan in particular was very intriguing. Please keep us updated with any further news on this as it has the potential to be the most important piece of information.
