We put that bid in before Shelvey got injured and he’s a right sided attacking midfielder which for all we know, we may still be after that type of player. A manager can change his thoughts around tactics, style of play and what’s the best system going forward you know… 


No evidence at all he has changed his mind though and I think you will see that come next week.

Hey, I know fuck all when it comes to who and what type of player we are after like most of us I guess so it’s all open for speculation. I think we will try to sign a midfielder, whether that’s a DCM or an ACM or a RW is anyone’s guess…

Just as long as we play them at DM?

So it looks like we have our first choice centre back (Botman), midfielder (Bruno) and striker (Isak). Next summer we go again for our first choice winger in Diaby?

 

And first choice GK in Pope.


That's a hell of a spine to the team.

Next week more likely at this rate.

Seems to me before Isak that this summer we have only spent around £50m on the first team.  £10m to make Target permanent £10m on Pope and £30m on Botman.  So £58m on Isak and we still haven't spent as much as West Ham who have spent around £128m this summer.  So matching the Paqueta bid is doable in my book then a right winger on loan and the squad is looking good.

Aye but we did spend nearly £100m in January.  So Isak will make it over £200m this year.

 

Also looks like we still want Pedro for around £30m.

What happened to the 50 mil budget, Luke?

 

Trying to cover his back by saying it was £50m budget but now they are getting Isak the budget for January (whatever that was) goes down instead.

 

It's just horseshit in reality, he knows nothing and then tries to cover that up when he's outed.

Buzzing that we might actually have a quality bench after this week too 

 

Could well have Isak and Pedro on the bench for Wolves and almost certainly for Liverpool. And who know who else at this rate.

Latest on Paqueta from L'Equipe:

Transfers: OL rejects nearly €50m bid from West Ham for Lucas Paqueta

Lyon have rejected a proposal from the Hammers close to €50m, including bonuses, for the Brazilian midfielder. They expect almost €10 million more.

While OL is still unable to sell the players on which it no longer counts, starting with Moussa Dembélé and Houssem Aouar, it could see its end of the mercato animated by the Lucas Paqueta case. The Brazilian international midfielder, the biggest market value of the Rhone squad, is not opposed to the idea of changing air this summer, even if he would not mind staying in Lyon less than three months before the World Cup. The left-hander, who has earned his place as a starter in the Seleçao (33 caps, 7 goals), has great ambitions with Brazil and does not want to put himself in danger as the competition approaches.

But OL seems to have had planned his sale this summer, or at least has opened the door for several months. Paqueta's rating is indeed at its peak, three years from the end of his contract, and the Rhone leaders have long hoped to beat the club's record sale (Ndombele to Tottenham in 2019, € 60 million [and € 10 million of bonus]) with the former AC Milan player. This may not be the case: Paqueta had not received a firm offer until this Wednesday, although several Premier League clubs have met with his representatives and expressed their interest.

The player's representatives are in London

As revealed this Wednesday by Sky Sports, West Ham was the first to draw a proposal. It is close to 50 M€, including bonuses, according to our information, and was immediately rejected by OL. Sources at the club also explained during the day that the positions were quite distant: OL expects at least 10 M€ more. For his part, Paqueta trained normally today. The latter also has no financial agreement with the Hammers, who will certainly have to make great efforts on the salary to attract him to London.

The Brazilian representatives of the player are currently in the English capital to discuss with several Premier League clubs, and be ready in case of an offer accepted by OL. For the moment, West Ham does not intend to raise its offer much higher, but the Hammers could still come back to the charge before the weekend. Lyon are still hoping to get a higher price for Paqueta than the one obtained for the sale of Bruno Guimaraes to Newcastle (€51 million including bonuses).

Paqueta not opposed to this idea

The Magpies could also be an option for the Lyon playmaker, and some intermediaries with a strong presence in England were supposed to bring an offer from the Premier League's new rich man for Paqueta. However, the likely €70m purchase of Alexander Isak (Real Sociedad) could put a strain on Newcastle's summer budget and keep the deal off the table.

Paqueta, however, would not be completely closed to the idea of joining West Ham, since playing in a club outside the top 5 of the Premier League does not prevent from being a starter in the Seleçao: Richarlison (Everton), Raphinha (Leeds) or Coutinho (Aston Villa) have been very recent examples of this. But he knows that some circumstances could help him to have better. Manchester City, for example, has targeted him in case of the departure of Bernardo Silva, who wants to change air and has been mentioned at Barcelona and PSG. The next few days will be decisive for Paqueta, but also for OL: in case of departure of the Brazilian, and without a replacement of the same level, the team of Peter Bosz, 8th of L1 last season, would not necessarily come out very strengthened from the mercato.

I think we are in for a more defensive midfielder though…

 

It's interesting we've been linked with both central midfielders that get forward and more defensive ones.

 

I'm beginning to think we are looking at both types, and looking to get the best midfielder we can get regardless of which of those categories they fall into.

 

And then depending who that is it will then determine what role Bruno plays.
