Aye, their whole upcoming season feels like a massive gamble. Lost manager, captain, keeper, best player (probably). If they’re still nowhere near relegation then fair fucks.

“So Anthony, you speak four languages, are you looking forward to adding Geordie to that list?”

Was it: Happy Birthday Amad! FTM

When you say ‘hilarious’….

We’ll see what they do with the funds they now have at their disposal to replace both him and Elanga, but I’d be very surprised if they come remotely close to repeating what they did last season. A top half finish is a very good season for them this year IMO.

Marinakas currently having all of them traced so he can ban them from the stadium

West Ham forum seem to think he’s going back to Brazil

Trial done. Believe the verdict is due before the season starts.

For anyone that thinks we’re the only club that’s slow with official announcements, Arsenal have just announced Norgaard. Romano gave him the ‘here we go’ on 25th June.

If they were gonna wait that long I think it’d be far more likely to be on an evening for maximum exposure.

Unless it’s an MLS club…

No. Keeping Longstaff means we get to add one more player to the CL squad. Probably Kraft or Lascelles.

Adding Ekitike to Isak, Gordon, Elanga Barnes and Murphy gives us the best attacking squad depth in the league IMO. Can’t see it happening in the slightest like, but still.

I wasn’t being entirely serious, but I don’t think it’s an absolute given he comes straight in. If he grasps all the pressing routines and shit over pre-season, then, yeah, he will. But you only have to listen to Burns high performance podcast where he talks about how complicated it can seem when you first come in, to see a way Murphy keeps his spot initially.

First PL start home to Fulham end of October?

You’re three years too late Fab mate.

Did the first part last night then the second this morning I think.

Good player but always felt like he flattered to deceive at bit at West Ham. Might improve with better players around him like. I know they aren’t exactly like-for-like, but I’m much happier our £55m has gone on Elanga.

It’s never impossible until the contract is actually signed. Although there’s every chance that’s already happened if the medical has gone through OK.

Not sure what time the last one would be, but it is a hike back to the station from the ground.

Liverpool one’s a bit of a shitter, but happy enough with Leeds.

Seems like the second part somewhat defeats the point of the first part to me, but anyway.

There’s gonna be absolute ructions over whether all these African lads can play against us or whether they have to join up with the national teams.

Don’t think we’d let Longstaff AND Willock go
