Yeah but they are under contract and on approximately £15-20kpw and £45-50kpw you’d imagine. West Ham would want £65-70m as he’s got 6-7yrs on his contract? (Didn’t he recently sign something silly like a 8yr contract?) Then to make him move he’d want tier 1 wages of us at £170kpw. £65m+5x52x£100kpw=£101m more than keeping current two players and that’s before you get the ripple effect in squad of other players then wanting a pay rise. There’s better out there for cheaper that fit our pay structure surely.

No they didn’t. I certainly didn’t think so either. The time to of bought Bowen was when he was waiting at Ferryhill services for our call and we changed our mind allowing him to go to West Ham. The improvement he’d give us RW wouldn’t be big enough to justify the figures now.

This. Not sure why he’s even discussed. Just had a second bairn not that long ago to Mr West Ham’s daughter. He ain’t moving from London now unless we did something we never do and that’s to over pay on a player plus his wages.

Maybe the plan is to play the dream team (Gordon 11, Foden 10, Kane 9, Bell 8, Rice 6) in the Ko’s with fresh legs 🤷🏼‍♂️ 😆

Still with us as expected…

He didn’t. He says it be helpful if they were supportive. The responsibility was in regards to highlighting that players and fans do look up to them what they say. Thought he quite cleverly separated the issues personally.

Don’t think Kane said much wrong. What I couldn’t understand was apparently Shearer & Lineker have apparently been constructive in their criticism (?) yet the question the journalist asked clearly stated that Lineker said they where “shit” which obviously isn’t constructive. Was it true he said that?

Seemed excessive going off other games. Maximum subs used and the VAR check for the penalty but not much else…

Made me laugh… 😂

I’d say a yard. He used to be lightning.

Looks slow and less energetic since last watching him when beating us in the final on first glance. He used to be like kinetic energy. Take it he never fully recovered from his ACL? Reminded me of Craig Bellamy years ago with his attitude and pace. Didn’t see much of the ball TBF. Great game. The pain and the glory. Been a very good tournament so far…

When on TV I quite enjoyed Sam Wallace as always seemed to talk quite a lot of sense with balance. Strange he’s mentioned us though like you say.

Alex Crook basically saying Everton want £40m and we are simply not interested at anywhere near that price.

This 100% You could maybe argue did we need to make the Targett transfer permanent but if it hadn’t been for a series of 3 very unfortunate injuries I doubt even that would’ve been questioned that much as he would’ve got plenty of game time.

Not the player or his agent 🙂

You are correct. However if you are going to pick an opponent to help prove a point.

Football transfers are basically money laundering exercises. Roman wants his money back 🤣

Think it was one of the reasons EH didn’t drop him in midfield when Longstaff was playing injured when we had no one else. Didn’t want to make a rod for his own back by sparking another debate. Think he’ll be LB for certain games and regular wing back for others if we change formation for certain games.

I agree. Thought he pulled the defender forward holding his shirt causing the leg collision. Surprised when asked in the studio for a reason not to give it none of the pundits put forward any argument 🙂

No idea the source credibility but something to embed 😆

Was thinking similar. Looks a handful. Record at Bologna nothing special but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

@Theregularscalled this months ago. Think he predicted a Saudi move but West Ham interest might give him food for thought. Was £26m being banded about yesterday?

EH doesn’t.

Nope. Owners have actually surprised me how smart they’ve been in the transfer window.

Think his release is E45m but already on big wages circa E200kpw
