Weve been linked with him for a while now, young and looks quality can't see Moyes sactioning it.

Instead we are starting talks for James ward prowse a 28 year old valued at 35m.

Yeah, a one-dimensional over-priced player, nearer the end of his career than the start. Moyes’ fingerprints all over it. Still, mustn’t whinge, eh?

AC MILAN have pulled out of DAICHI KAMADA Free transfer which has opened the door for us to explore, if we hurry

Kamada would be a very nice addition. Seemingly we are willing to listen to offers for fornals, benrahma and cornet!

West Ham and Juventus are no closer to reaching an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Denis Zakaria, according to reports in Italy explaining a stale mate has been reached over the player. Pinto is again expected in London for further talks over GIANLUCCA SCAMACCA and Arsenal hope to complete the deal for DECLAN RICE before the squad flies out on Sunday for pre season.

When we played EF KAMADA stood out like a sore thumb as a very gifted player so what the hel, are our scouts doing if we can see he's very good and we still haven't even put a bid in for him.?⚒⚒⚒

Because we are still talking to JUVENTUS about ZAKARIA (how long does it realistically take these days to sort out a transfer) . Our lot love to drag it out, just look at the DECLAN RICE FIASCO. Believe me, this is not all ARSENAL's doing

Ok the Rice transfer is turning into a bit of a saga now but for once West Ham have actually done well imo.
They held out for the money they wanted and it appears will get the payment structure they want and need.
I'm no Sully fan but I think they've done well, so you're correct not all Arsenal's fault but it's looking ever closer and on this occasion Sully has done well imo.
Hopefully when that's completed it will open the door to conclude the deals we are working on, when Dec actually walks out the door we will see how constructive they've been.
Then if nothing happens and there are protracted negotiations and failed deals I could understand the moans and groans. Other than that I don't know why some of you torture yourselves every time on supposedly ITK mostly BS fairytales.

In my opinion, the one thing that stands out in this window is that, without the guarantee of the Rice money, either there is no money in the transfer chest, or our board are unwilling to sanction any outlay without it. The latter could indicate an imminent takeover. Who knows?

Interesting thought TinLegs. The board not wanting to part with money because a take over is in the works would kind of make sense. Although, I am not sure that's the case.

One thing that stands out to me, a couple Summers ago, Jack Grealish made a big money move to Manchester City. Aston Villa spent that money, before completing the Grealish sale at the end of the window.
West Ham have never outlaid money knowing that the sale of a player is going to offset.

I think our reluctance to spend prior to the guarantee of the Rice sale is two part:

Firstly, because we are in the spot light of UEFA for FFP, which are different to the Premier Leagues FFP. Apparently we are one of four teams, along with Chelsea, Manchester City and Leicester now being “monitored closely in the upcoming period” and have been asked to provide additional financial information.

Secondly, I think the arrival of Tim Steidten last week has also been a factor. He has a proven track record of signing young, hungry players with bags of potential at both Wolfsburg (Kevin De Bruyne, Thomas Delaney and Serge Gnabry) and Leverkusen (Edmond Tapsoba, Piero Hincapie, Exequiel Palacios, Moussa Diaby, Jeremie Frimpong, Adam Hlozek and Patrik Schick) . What would be the point of bringing in a Technical Director with a proven track record in the transfer market, only to tell him we have already assigned all our transfer funds on specific targets?

Tim Steidten has been in the position for a little more than a week and I reckon it is fair to assume he has come with his own targets in mind and has had conversations about those targets with the board and manager already. It is only really a matter of time before we start seeing a couple of incomings.

Or at least I hope.

Quick side note, Tim Steidten played a HUGE part in getting Xabi Alonso to become Leverkusen manager. So my hope is that he has been brought in, not only to assist with success of our transfer targets, but also because Xabi Alonso is seen as the successor of David Moyes when he goes.

Is it true that west ham will announce the signing of LUIZ FELIPE by the end of the week any truth please ED.⚒⚒⚒

{Ed002's Note - Luiz Felipe (CB) added as a Free Agent to replace Marc Bartra last summer but he has had a patchy season and Betis will look to cash in and pick up some much needed funds. West Ham have spoken with Real Betis about taking him after a move to Osasuna was rejected. There will need to be some negotiation on price but both sides are open to completing a deal.

I have no way of being able to predict the timing of any announcement from West Ham.

Hi Ed002

Are you aware of who the most likely candidates are to become our new signings? There is a lot of speculation in the online media but I suspect most of it is click bait

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer "most likely" questions but I can say where I know interest has been shown.}

Any information provided would be greatly appreciated ED

{Ed002's Note - I can tell you from this post that Kamada will not be joining West Ham.

Pablo Maia (DM/CB) Sao Paulo are having to cut their squad size and are willing to listen to offers for a number of players including Maia. Whilst Fulham and West Ham have indicated an interest to his agent, unless playing well over the odds, obtaining a Work Permit to play in England will be difficult. May head to Portugal. Agent also spoke with Nottingham Forest and Genk.}
