Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

I feel West Ham have pulled off another good deal with Scamacca.  Sounds like he'd be well suited to the PL.

He’s a very good talent

I feel West Ham have pulled off another good deal with Scamacca.  Sounds like he'd be well suited to the PL.

To repeat from the Other Transfers thread:

Strikers coming off one great season in Serie A tend not to do very well, and strikers going to West Ham for loads of money tend not to do very well.

Calling it now - a goal on his debut, a hat-trick in the first League Cup game they play, followed by one in his next ten, the second half of the season on the bench and then a season long loan to Genoa next summer.

I'll go with a goal in each of his first three appearances, then what you said.

There’s no guarantees but he looks well suited to the PL to me.  We’ll see.

He'll be a poor man's Rolando Bianchi.

Corrado Grabbi says hello.

[cdbearsfan]

Never heard of him but think he is brilliant.

[cdbearsfan]

Never heard of him but think he is rubbish.

[cdbearsfan]

I will cunningly delete one of the above messages at the end of the season.

[LeeB]

Remember Pierlugi Casiraghi having a great rep and being Blues at Chelsea too.

Hah, thwarted your evil plan!

RISSSSOOOOO!!!!

Not worthy of a new thread but blimey, Gabby Agbonlahor and Richard Keys are having a cat-fight on Twitter and Gabby is being erudite (of erdington) and winning!

Richard Keys is an absolute fuckwit, so yeah, go Gabby, fill yer boots.

It's like gutter rats having a barney over which is worse. Although Keys wins that hairy hands down.

Moyes has a pretty decent hit rate with transfers at West Ham so I would think a lot of diligence has gone into Scamacca. He holds up the ball and gets 7-8 goals while Bowen and the others score a few he'll be a decent buy.

All the noise at Villa was Gerrard has a pretty big budget this summer, having negotiated Coutinho into reasonable money, Kamara on a free and Carlos for £26m, I genuinely think we'll see a couple of big buys coming in at some point still.

Watching our pre season games, I still don't think either Ings or Watkins suit our team, neither are good enough at any particular aspect to fully back them, and Archer looks close but maybe another 12 months starting in the champ might round him off a bit, much like the season Tammy had with us after Bristol and Swansea.

I would also love to see a Thiago type, that just keeps the ball ticking and moving in midfield. Mcginn and Ramsey are too similar long term. Maybe Luiz can do that though.

Injury ended his career there. Was a decent striker in his day in Seria A and with Italy at a time when it was the best league in the world.

[Dogtanian]

I heard this new Italian is flip hot.
