I think we have done well with transfers so far, but I would have concerns about the disparity between first team and the B string, especially in the event of injuries. As we are in a much better place than last season, I was hoping we would get someone like Josh King, but that seems highly unlikely.

Not being funny but I think that is why the Big6 will probably finish 1-6, Everton, Leicester, Us and Wolves, possibly Leeds look like they have very good starting line ups but 2 or 3 omissions and the cupboard is reasonably bare.

Benrahma has failed his medical at Wet Spam, apparently

I saw that, staggered if true.

Apparently, it was the blood test?


how do you "fail" a West Ham medical when those sicknotes Wilshere(now free) and Carroll can pass one ??

so fucking bizarre. After all of the summer not going anywhere Benrahma has joined West Ham on loan. I imagine with an obligation to buy with a hefty price tag.

In other news: Villa legend Robbie Keane is manager of LA Galaxy

Yep, obliged to buy him for £25m rising to £30m come the end of the season.

Rumour is they are being taken over, hence their pretty paltry outlay over the summer.

A little bit surprised Ramsey (J) didn’t get a loan out - anyone with more of an inside track got any thoughts ? I like him, but think he might have benefited from regular 90 minutes.

Quite right too, much rather bring him along than another signing

Jack Butland moving to Palace for an initial £1M. Wasn’t he commanding a £20M last summer?

Didn’t Small Heath insist on a sell on clause in case he got a big move?
