Zero

Isak should be safe anyway.

Apparently the reason is he didn’t play regularly for Roma and he is not an Dutch international That’s ridiculous. He was on loan to Nice hence didn’t play for Roma. The rules have problems

Interesting. So a foreign player need to obtain a work permit from both the UK government and the FA, and apparently the FA one is more difficult to obtain

Angel Correa, I hope

that’s only one of the possibilities. We aren’t ITK nor people within the industry. 1. his performance at Milan 2. his performance during the second half of last season 3. his position 4. his play style 5. his wage demand 6. his personal affairs All could be the reasons. It’s just discussion bro. What we know is only West Han willing to take him at such a “discount price” very late in this window.

very impressive. Anyone got Howe’s email?

Paqueta has been shopped around all the Europe clubs for the whole summer. It’s not like West Han caught everyone else off-guard like what we did to Bruno. All clubs except West Han chose not to go ahead. We even tried bidding for Barnes Maddison etc, but not for Paqueta. West Ham may prove everyone wrong but that doesn’t mean we are wrong to suspect there are concerns from all the clubs.

Both Lyon and Paqueta are shocked to know that there were so little interests outside. Obviously his agent has been trying very hard to knock doors but only West Han answered. There must be something wrong re Paqueta.

Add Krafu and Shelvey to the list. Target probably still carrying slight injury as well.

I think he did well for pressing the opponents and getting the ball back. But the problem is he offered close to nothing other than that. Sometimes you can’t just stop to imagine what if Paqueta is playing his role.

I don’t think it was just bad luck for Howe to have injury crisis at both Bournemouth and here. Not that I blame him for this, but seems his tactics do require players to stretch to their limit, hence much more prone to injuries The board should give him more support by bringing in more up-to-standard players. We should have a better bench (never mind the starting 11) to withstand the injuries we are facing.

I don’t think he is that bad today.

Let ASM have a rest even if he is not injured today. An injury is just around the corner, I can feel it. Trippier as well. Almiron, Isak, Wood for me.

His time is running out. We will get the lad from Ajax.

Remember the Shearer strike?

He has the potential to be special. His dribbling during the last play was very impressive. That close control touch is probably just second to ASM in our team . Willock may provide better pressing for the whole game but we should sub him for Anderson much earlier

Probably due to his flop period at AC Milan.

Wait a minute. Obertan is better than Murphy. They are not even close.

It doesn’t make sense, that’s why some are suggesting that he has fallen out with Howe

Pretty accurate. Everyone should have a read.

Probably the agent himself, hoping to drum up interest and initiate a bidding war

Genuine opinion. This guy has top quality potential, he has got everything on his bag, he is tall, strong, damn quick, able to pull out a few tricks and finish well. However his decision making is questionable, or I should say, very inconsistent. He could be a world beater tonight and disappear on the pitch next week. Dortmund once hoped that they could milk a huge profit on him but decided to cut short the project and develop the other players, and the reason was his inconsistency. it’s probably a gamble that we have to take to get into the next level, and please don’t expect too much from him short term. Just like ASM two years ago, he still need lots of game time to improve his game.

......I sincerely hope this won’t be a disaster. This is a very risky purchase.

I don’t understand. What’s wrong with that? Isn’t that fucking normal?

We shouldn’t sell for anything less than 20m. Look at the bench.
