Said it before, say it again. This lad is going to be huge for us.

Can’t see I’ve seen much of this guy but he’s clearly rated by management, this deal is robbery if he even gets close to potential they must see in him.

Feels like he’s been around forever

How is Junior Hoilett only 32

Gonna be a huge player for us, no doubts from me

LOL

Seen they are 1-1, if they manage to scrape a win here be ready for the ‘we’re better than some of the PL teams’

That is true, I wasn’t trying to sound like a fee would be useless just that the wages gone would be more important.

Highly doubt anything else happens this window other than maybe Ashby

More important to shift Frasers wage than get a minimal fee for him which would surely would only be something like 2/3m.

We are really keen on this kid, chased him in the summer and couldn’t get a deal done if reports then were true. Contracts out in the summer? Would be nice to get him in and settled now as he can be eased in and won’t be expected to start, it’s up to West Ham to agree a reasonable fee for someone whos out of contract at the end of the season or we’ll wait no doubt.

Who knows, a lot more than 40m though.

Felt like I was missing one

The heartbeat of this side.

Without looking them up, who of Rafas signings are still here? Schar, Dubs, Manquillo, Murphy, Ritchie.. any I missed?

They really are the scouse mackems.. player leaves and he’s unanimously shit

Let’s go. Hated this kid when he played against us but thought he had real potential. Excited to see what he might become here.

Gotta know where that Bob Holly emote originated from. Anyone know?

I’m not sure why some of us think along the lines of - I wanted Maddison and not Gordon, these players arnt mutually exclusive. They play different positions, are at different stages of their career and there’s every chance we go back in for Maddison in the summer anyway. Now someone might say ‘we need Maddison more NOW than we do Gordon’. We are witnessing people in charge who are going about their business meticulously and building a squad that they believe will be contenders, just because target A might be a more effective signing in the short term they won’t be ripped off in signing them if we can do good business and sign target B now. The destination is the same never mind which player comes first, we build build build for the future but we go for targets who are available for money we believe is reasonable.

You arnt, I personally am though. I think this guy will win everyone that’s unsure about him over pretty quickly should he sign.

I’m not sure they will survive but out of the options Dyche might offer them the best chance. While someone like Bielsa would be more inspiring he likely wouldn’t have the time or personnel to implement his style effectively in time to win them enough points to stay up, the guy spent a couple of seasons moulding that Leeds side into promotion winners. They need signings at the top end of the pitch mind, there’s little goals in that side as it stands. Unless Dyche can have them grind out results with set pieces and a solid back line they are done imo. And the best part is they need to sell to spend..

Went to training to say his goodbyes, get the feeling it’s all but done

I hope if he does sign our fans that are doubters of the lad warm up quickly, best thing we can do as fans to get him settled is show him a collective warm welcome after the way he’s been treated by the scouse mackems

And that’s the thing, if one of Trips, Schar or Botman go down for a significant amount of time it really could be a game changer. Bruno/Joe as well to a slightly lesser extent.

Nice theory, but why the need to skip training if it’s all done? I mean I wouldn’t want to be around that club after the way they’ve gone on lately but wouldn’t he just gut it out for few more days to avoid the press?
