Taking into account the cirmunstances, and on the condition that the young signings develop and can avoid serious injuries... it's an 8/10 for me.

Likewise.

I expect 125 rising to 130 with very achievable add ons (he scores a few goals and doesn't get injured forever in his first game) Considering he hates Newcastle and is toxic, I think this is a good thing, we are finally free.

Many reports saying it's £130 million, not 125. I guess we will find out.

Exactly.

Shearer joined the club where he grew up and supports to this day. And he actually wasn't toxic, so this comparrison is a bit of creative license.

All it takes it one injury and this whole dynamic changes. But yes.

I feel the opposite. I'm buzzing. The guy hates us and we got a record fee.

THANK GOD!

We should have got him. Hopefully we can find a creative midfielder and another striker somewhere in the next 2 days because we sorely need them.

That's horrendous by DCL

The Rolls Royce has broken down again, ffs.

Better

Ramsey injured by Longstaff.

Schar belter from range please barkeep.

It appears that Mourinho never evolved, he was amazing for a 5 year period with a certain set up and tactics but the game moved on and evidently, he did not.

I love West Ham, their pitch and stadium is delightful. The fans are further away from the pitch so they have less impact, combined with the best playing surface in the league (won the award last season for best playing surface) it's just carte blanche to destroy them.

Rejected by strikers all Summer then covertly land the most promising target. This guy has the potential to be incredible and I think the Prem suits him and he seems well up for it. 6'6 beast with twinkle toes. What a difference a day makes.

BUZZING!

Well, well, well (yes the Bundesliga is lesser lol)

At this stage, buy a promising striker from the Championship or a lesser foreign league, then go big in Jan or something.

Warrior, the beating heart of the entire team, a noble knight, our lion. Considering he's not that tall and has a slight build too, his bravery, skill, strength and sheer will is unfathomable.

Agreed and he also gets himself injured while tying his shoelaces.

He got 19 last season in a far inferior team, could score a load for us, who knows

Joe will injure himself on the way down there to sign the contract, back sprain after eating a Big Mac too enthusiatically at Northampton service station, out for half the season.
