Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[LeonW]

I think Luiz is worth keeping as an 8. He’s not a 6. But he can be useful and we’re trying to build a squad. He’s only just turned 24.

If he won’t sign a new contract (assuming one has been offered) or if he’s not prepared to fight for his place then move him on above what we paid for him.

Rumours are Bissouma is going to West Ham to replace the retiring Noble. Quite an upgrade!

West Ham fans I know say the issue with Soucek is Moyes trying to sit him deeper alongside Rice, which is not his game.

We seem to have had a million defensive midfielders who don't want to be defensive midfield.

[eamonn]

All these players have grown-up playing Fifa and want to be attacking all the time.

A bit like us with McGinn and Luiz then Jim.

Being linked with a 19-year old centre back that played for Peterbrough last season. Ronnie Edwards, who Spurs and Southampton are interested in too. Peterborough want £10m. I doubt we'll pay that when we're picking up other promising kids for about £250k.

Looking at wiki, he played 34 times in the championship last season so his valuation is justifiably higher than most youth players.  No idea whether he’s £10m good though.

[cdbearsfan]

£10 million made up mostly of add-ons wouldn't be unreasonable. If he turns out to the next James Bree, they get two or three million quid. Useful to them, not the end of the world for us. If he goes on to establish himself as a Premier League centre half and, maybe, plays for England, £10 million would be perfectly fair.

More likely a replacement for Rice

So West Ham have been linked with Watkins and now McGinn, next week Mings?

That’s West Ham with their cheap skate scum bag board…they flirt with all types of players through their little London press pack but rarely show the bottle to do the deals….Moyes is doing amazing despite not because of his board

Their record transfer fee is around £10m higher than ours.

It doesn't mean they spent it wisely, but it seems an odd criticism to throw.

“Linked with”

Generally speaking it’s utter bollocks.

west ham are a funny club. I used to watch their fans’ podcasts at the start of the season for a laugh. They were apoplectic with rage against GSB and hated the ‘London’ stadium. Strange how things turn out sometimes.

[algy]

Got a feeling there might be a striker coming on soon. There was talk about Phillips just before we signed Kamara, then of Tarkowski in the lead up to Diego Carlos, and now seeing lots of rumours of Suarez and (to a lesser extent) Mkhitaryan.

They landed Benrahma and Bowen - we were linked with both but seem to have baulked.
