This is what you said; "they lack the basic decision making ability to play at the top level let alone the top 10". So it was more about decision making and end product/consistency is another one that got thrown about (perhaps not by yourself). All things that both Traore and Arnie have been labelled before. I don't think he's the next Arnautovic but there's a player in there IMO and would be worth buying (and then developing) at the right price.fmgod wrote:

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
The funniest thing about that (if it is true) is that we ended up with neither the Sporting player or the PSG player... Classic West Ham...

An owner/manager of a company would have got a secretary/assistant to type the email, corrrecting the grammar/spelling before sending it, especially sending to an oversees recipient to make it easy to translate/understand ?

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
Sully's working the old percentages game - If we bid for one Sporting player per season they're bound to sell us one of them eventually . Or else we'll threaten to loan someone from PSG .

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
I swear these journalists make up us buying west brom players every season because alphabetically we are next to them. That is how much truth there is in the rumours they spread. How many wba players have we been linked with compared to how many have ever bought?
West Ham have joined the race to land £3m Jonny Evans, 30, as Premier League sides prepare for West Brom's relegation. (Mirror)

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
That email is legit, Sullivan released it to try and prove he made a bid for Carvalho, that’s when the sniggering started, then Sullivan Jr said we are suing for serious libel, that's when we fell about laughing.
Someone did put a picture up comparing our email and one that Leicester City send when they send a formal request to buy a player. One looked very professional the other didn't.

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
It won’t happen but Wanyama and Dembele would be a great pairing for us. I really like Dembele. A solid all round midfielder.Tottenham are ready to sell England left-back Danny Rose, 27, 29-year-old Belgium centre-back Toby Alderweireld, Kenya midfielder Victor Wanyama, 26, and Belgium midfielder Mousa Dembele to raise £170m as manager Mauricio Pochettino looks to strengthen his squad for next season

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
I knew he'd had his injury problems. That is a shame. Quality player
Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
Dembele will be off to China apparently, MB. Class player though, like you say, IMO he's too good for over there.

If the latest stories are right then he vetoed the Belgian lad which suggests the board were willing to spend.ToiletDuck wrote:Just read the'moyes to get january transfer budget' why the hell did he not get it in january??
Moyes is cautious in the transfer market so I doubt a January window when he has been at the club five minutes is well suited to his style.
Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018
Dembele would be class, more chance of Jock Stein being our manager and Ancelotti as his assistant though :lol:MB wrote:It won’t happen but Wanyama and Dembele would be a great pairing for us. I really like Dembele. A solid all round midfielder.
