Agree, faith put into Wilson as first choice striker whilst getting a loan such as Broja in as decent cover. Rest of our budget this window on a right winger and probably our marquee signing of the summer. If we go again in January we can push most the budget to improving in CM or a right sided centre back. We currently win games due to our midfield 3 so it won't be a priority yet.

Current crop of Bruno, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff, Shelvey is pretty strong but Howe consistently speaks about needing two for every position so wouldn't surprise me to see another come in - possibly the young type with potential signing.

Diaby, CHO, Gordon Preference in that order. Diaby and Broja loan would complete an unbelievable two transfer windows - sensible growth. If we got those two we'd be looking at these incomings since Mandy arrived: Trippier Wood Bruno Burn Targett Pope Botman Diaby Broja

Fullbacks priced generously. Could see a lot going big at the back from the following: Trent/Roberston/Cancelo/James/Chilwell/Perisic/Doherty and our very own Trips who is only 5.0

Prices getting released today. Notables: Haaland 11.5m KDB 12.0m Saka 8.0m Martinelli 6.0m

Good character, works his bollocks off after Bielsa conditioning, technically gifted with either foot. Ticks the boxes for Howe. Given we have the added quality of Trips at RB also, I think Harrison would be a savvy signing for us RW - anywhere in the region 10-15mill I'd be happy with that?

Sunday 15th August 2021 West Ham home 4-2 loss Manager: Bruce Woodman Murphy Krafth Fernandez Clark Ritchie Hayden Shelvey Almiron Wilson ASM Bench: Gillespie, Schar, Lascelles, Lewis, Joelinton, Hendrick, Longstaff, Fraser, Gayle Possible 11 v Forest home first game of 22/23 Manager: Howe Pope Trippier Schar Botman Targett Willock Bruno Joelinton Fraser Wilson ASM Bench: Dubravka, Dummett, Krafth, Burn, Shelvey, Longstaff, Almiron, Murphy, Wood Could not be more grateful for our new owners Consider that squad v Forest with two attacking signings in for Murphy and Wood? With Fraser benched. Looking good, enjoy it!

Danjuma personal terms an issue for West Ham according to Fab. Doubt we'd break our wage structure apart just to get him either.

Players back in for pre season fitness testing tomorrow I believe? Countdown to Forest at home begins.

First sentence highlights the need for RW and ST incomings as priority. Centre midfielder could be one we see come in late in the window if an opportunity arises. Shelvey gets some unfair cop on here, think he's been really good for us last 6 months under Howe.

Our owners

We have the same attack as under Ashley/Bruce + Chris Wood and you think we won't be spending any more this summer?

x2 Something about McTominay that irks me too

Get your point but we were pretty unlucky in a couple too. Everton away Chelsea away (Murphy clear pen)

Controversy aside, looks class!

Later went on to explain about Newcastle tax and how his tweets have helped in that sense. Aye, cos selling clubs will take Luke Edwards tweets about a £60m budget as gospel and think bless them we ought to sell to Newcastle for a bit less £ really.

See if the one in one out policy continues once Botman announed - Clark out?

Hamza Choudhury

Home form will be huge for us going forward. Really believe SJP can become a fortress again. Teams will hate coming up to Newcastle.

Interesting to note in the Pope interview that he mentioned the process to sign him started a couple of weeks ago. We only heard about it the day before he was due up for a medical and it was 90% done.

Where have you seen this? Don't mind him but he certainly cooled down after a decent start. Fits the backup to Wilson role but i'd want a marquee RW signing alongside him.

One in, one out so far. Seems to be the way Ashworth operates. Completely forgot we still had Hendrick!

Two defensive signings so far then. I'd expect to see something happen at the other end of the pitch for us next. Ritchie/Gayle out to make the room.

Pope, Trippier, Targett and Burn for a combined 50m is unbelievably good business. When you consider Maguire cost Man United near 80m and i wouldn't take him over any of those for our squad.

Already done our one in one out with Woodman going Preston but I'd expect to see Darlow go by end of July yeah. Pope, Dubs, Gillespie is more than fine for our 3GK
