And so the rumours are starting that there is little or no money to spend (Here we go again). A little deja vu here.

Lille could demand as much as €68 million (£57 million) for the Amadou Onana. SO far we have had bids of £20m and £25m rejected by Lille for him. Why don't we ask them what price they are looking for and then at least try and get near it but if they want somewhere in and around £57m, well our £25m is a bit of a joke

Be realistic and not contradictory all the time. Typical underbidding by us trying to get a cheap deal. We spent nothing in January and what happened to Kresinkys so called "Investment" in players. They've bid twice so clearly want him so at least get near the asking price instead of embarrassing both us and them

Depends on what you believe is true, latest report I've seen is that Lille have rejected €30m from an unnamed club but are looking to get €40m. That wouldn't put us to far apart if we are the unnamed club. Have to say 40m is a lot for a 20 year old defensive midfielder.

Kretinsky isn't the answer everybody thinks he's an investor who will loan west ham money that needs paying back its just a loan the word investor shouldn't be taken as the moneypitt people think he's a very shrewd businessman who knows exactly what he is doing.

Mainlander I am being realistic and sorry if you think i'm being contradictory but I stand by my statement, spending somebody else's money is always easier than spending your own. The transfer market is a complex place. A selling club, particularly a reluctant one will put an over inflated price on a player and a buying club will always test the water with a low opening gambit. If a deal can be struck they then meet somewhere in the middle. Then the player has to agree terms whilst being advised by agents as to what is the best deal. It’s a nightmare! I certainly wouldn’t want to have to do it . The lad from Swansea was quicker because he wanted to play for us and the badge. Generally it’s all wheeling and dealing which takes time and effort
