Thuram seems to have been left alone this window which is a bit strange as you would think he would be a default choice for Liverpool after the Caicedo/Lavia collapses. Wonder if his personal references were poor, as most teams seem to be more than okay with scooping up players before they are fully ready - Hojlund, Lavia etc. Guess it goes on the pile with the Jonathan David transfer that never happens.

I think we’ll hear nowt and Eddie will say something vague in the presser.

perfect in that he’d no longer be able to score against them

I think it had been made clear he wouldn’t be number one and Courtois did his ligaments

I think there are many folk who don’t fully understand the parasocial relationship with the players (at all teams, not just ours). They lose sight that the players are people too, young people at that. They carry a lot of the same insecurities, pressures that we all do. Being well compensated doesn’t make a lot of the shit they get okay. There are a sizeable number of folks who it’s part of the ritual go to the pub watch the game, slag off your own players, and if it remains in the pub it’s fine. But when these folks get on socials to try and directly vent at players it crosses the line at times. It’s the nature of the beast I suppose. Sort of strayed from the original incident here I suppose, which was just a clickbait post to start arguments.

Yeah I’m in the camp that players should be strongly advised against socials, specifically Twitter. You really as someone of any public profile need to consider the worse thing someone could say to you and if you can’t handle it then don’t sign up.

quite shocked at how poor their knowledge of our team seems to be

We’ll get him back in a few years when the next Bohley fire sale occurs.

Miley too unless we aren’t counting him as established first team yet

Romano is an insufferable big club suck up.

Get to live in Florence and there’s already another Scotsman there.

Sturridge? Before his body broke

Calciomercato reporting Zefi close in this hilariously translated article

James?

I think the story it tells is that he was one of the longest serving players there and wanted to get out of dodge. He’s experienced a winning team and dressings toon there. Chelsea wanted him to stay but equally didn’t want to lose him on a free next year.

Ain’t nothing but a heartbreak

He’s literally the spot fixer (allegedly) wether or not he placed any bets personally is immaterial

Announce Zefi

What Toney did was stupid but this is different. Spot fixing is a criminal offence. Apparently it was reported to police by Betway. They could end up cost West Ham more here than they’ve ever paid in sponsorship money

Thought he’d also been done for betting for a second there Class that he’s getting some competitive games for them. What a guy.

Fair enough I’m just thinking it would be difficult to enforce once the initial deal period is complete. Sort of just feels Chelsea are trying to make it slightly cheaper if they ever want to try and get him back.

Seems a fair price given the market, his contract situation, West Ham not needing to sell and Man Cities wealth.
