I’d be up for giving Trippier plus 60m for Kudus Doubling their money plus fixing their RB issue

That could work out well, Tonali gets a run out!!

We were linked with Berge when Ashworth was here Was it last Jan or this Jan?

Yeah, Tonali, Isak and Bruno were way more 'exciting' signings in that sense. Unless you're signing a Nesta, a CB signing will never be 'that' exciting. Even his current status as 'starting England CB' was because Maguire surprisingly got dropped. Not sure under the new manager whoever he is, that his position is as certain - whereas Stones definitely would be a starting CB. That said, not complaining as he's a very good player and seems a great fit.

Replace Debuchy with Coloccini and Srnicek with Pope and that’s a great XI subs: Beardsley, Ba, Ferdinand, Robert, Lee, Trippier, Botman

Anyone rather get De Ligt over Guehi?

Thanks for this really appreciate the kind offer!! Spoke to the mrs and think we will just do the late game on Friday and stay out of town on the Saturday! It’s kind of following us around at the moment, I’m from Nottingham and this Saturday gone was our turn to have these bloody riots!

I'm Asian (Muslim) from the Midlands and going to SJP with my young kids (all under 7 - their first trip) next weekend. Any places I need to avoid? Any places I should check out? Is it better to go to the Girona game on the Friday so we avoid Newcastle city centre on the Saturday?

West Ham are bascially Newcastle under Freddy Shepherd - fairly exciting signings on the face of it, but mostly opportunistic or big names without a strategy in mind

Damien Duff vs what my expectations of him were

Never understood the hate, he only played 4 games, even scored once and had a great record of top scorer in France two seasons running, perhaps just hadn’t settled down yet in a new team and environment. Even was said to be the worst PL import ever which is incredibly harsh we could have had a front line of England’s and France’s number 9 in 1998 but the team itself were in disarray too

Dabizas Lazaro

Treat Marc Guehi-tly...

West Ham hat trick

Yeah it’s not quite the guile / flair of an Olise but can imagine the industry and robustness and tenacity would be a nightmare to play against and would free up space for Bruno Gordon Isak Trippier etc. wonder if we get Yilmaz would we still get Roque or would that be overkill?

Mehdi Abied

Ditto Would be lethal on the counter

I’d prefer a price point 50-55m with 10-15m achievable bonuses

West Ham have improved transfers a lot since that Tim steiden came in with the likes of Paqueta Kudus Bowen

One of the things they may have thought of is chemistry, if Hall, Tino and Guehi have all been trained the Chelsea way, they will know each others game and have a high standard of training they came through even if they were in different aged teams. Makes you think though, there was so much Abramovich did to make them a world class entity, building foundations for the future, the only problem other than Mourinho he never found his Wenger or Pep, the one to put in place a long term pathway to the team. It’s crazy how Bohley has destroyed the hard work within a few seasons, in time he will be remembered as their Ashley I’m sure

If the choice was Guehi or Diomande/Silva for 60m which would you prefer?

I’d prefer the former in that case

If we get Guehi Orsula Roque and that starting RW in August that would be a blockbuster summer and set us up perfectly for a real attack at this season. All of a sudden we’re looking solid everywhere and even in depth too Next season we could go large on a big GK and more depth

He only plays LCB because Anderson is their Schar, great passer etc who plays RCB. Shows he's versatile and can play both, as he's right footed

Good shout, worth breaking the bank for, for sure.
