Lampard seems to be trying to sell some of his players. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we get offered Tammy in the next few days.

Hudson-Odoi may be available too.

With the news yesterday that potentially there will be no crowds until March? the loss of revenue must be huge for the club and with the money that they must be putting into the club to pay wages etc..,this must be costing them a fortune,

I think that the owners may now put the cheque book away (or hide the BACs card).


There was never going to be 40,000 back inside Villa Park any time soon. It would have been a few thousand at the most for now and they would have known this so I can't see it making too much of a difference to spending.

I would love it if we signed Tammy.

Samatta out and Tammy in would be on a par with the Baros / Carew swap.  I know Samatta isn't going to Chelsea but in terms of the squad strength I mean.

Really can't see Chelsea letting Kevin go. They've sent out Batshuayi to palace, so really they have him and Giroud as back-up to Werner which is the least you'd want considering injuries and CL/cup games

Correct. There’s no way Chelsea will let Tammy go unless they buy another striker, which would be highly unlikely.

Talk of Chelsea buying Declan Rice for £80m so they might want to bring some money back in. Not necessarily on Abraham but maybe on some of their kids who they're making it hard for them to break through. Think of the likes of that right back that Brighton bought.

Declan Rice. £80m?! Is that a typo?

That's truly remarkable. 80m. Jesus Christ.

I’d have Tammy, and for that matter Tuanzebe, back today if possible.

I think we’ve done about 76m out of the ‘100m’ so can only see one more max. big money signing through the door. Or a couple of smaller signings. I already think we’ve spent enough to get mid-table-ish. So might be best to hold on to a few quid for if we are forced to strengthen in Jan?

We really, really need a new decent central midfielder.  If we don't get one, I think it'll be nearly as stupid as going into last season with just Wesley up front.

Declan Rice would be ideal for us - but not at £80 million

CMF and CB. We're vulnerable in both areas.

Rice, albeit on a limited sample size, has never impressed me much.

Declan Rice and £80 million in the same sentence, wow.  Would be funny though to see the response from West Ham fans.  They'd be laying siege on the directors box again if it was football as normal.
