Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Hugh Jargon]

Today is the day. Maybe. Hart delay is a tad odd. I'm thinking a triple announcement. Today. Or Thursday.
Why am I attracted to short sentences?. Pardon?

[RayleighHammer23]

Sorry but if you think we have any chance of getting Keita you're living in a total fantasy.Hes linked with the elite clubs in Europe we have no chance.

Not forgetting he already plays for a club far bigger than ours too. Money talks but I can't see the Daves spending big.

I honestly fail to see how people can't see Hart being a good signing? His England place is at serious stake (rightly so). He's not coming here to sit around and finish his career. He'll know full well that he's under pressure to perform this season and with City contributing to the wages of a player who has won numerous honours we've got a guy who is a considerable upgrade on our current options. Can't wait to see him in goal.

Keita is out of contract next summer and reportedly available for just over €20m

Not out of our price range - but not out of range of many clubs

Hart delay isn't odd. If he did half a medical in Spire Roding and the rest is with the medical team in Austria, he needed to fly to Austria after his medical yesterday afternoon. Complete it this morning. Pose with Bilic. Job done.

Lazio are a bigger club than us in most ways, but we have a much bigger fanbase and revenue, which these days often equates to a greater power in buying players.

It's a moot point though as he will probably end up at a bigger fish than both of us.

SSN reporting £6M bid for Wilshere from Sampdoria. I agree with some on here, he's worth a punt.

You don't think we're up to our quota of injury prone players yet then?

Something tells me that's his agent trying to see if we're going to bite. Jinxed and Ex have both suggested interest in him if he's cheap enough, I think.

And if there comes a time that guns and gates no longer hold you in and if you're free to make a choice just look towards the west and make a friend.

I reckon we can nick Keita

Yorks, are you vegan?

I am...

I could tell by the way you post.

Only joking. I bumped into you on Twitter, feverishly tweeting about Big Britt.

£6m Wilshire?? That's chicken feed these days. Of course he's had issue after issue but at that price if I was DG I'd be sending a car straight away

[fjthegrey]

Lazio aren't a notably bigger club than us either.

6m is chicken feed?
Is that including his signing on fee and wages for the next three years - most of which he'll spend being injured if his previous three years is anything to go by?

[Ozza]

At 6m I'd have Wilshire here, bearing in mind we spent 5m on Calleri last season....

If you can get him fit and keep him fit then he is a outstanding talent, and his injury last season wasn't connected to his previous issues

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Whilst it may only seem like yesterday when Trevor Francis was sold for £1M to become the record transfer fee, in the grand scheme of things, some 38 years down the road, £6M is peanuts and in spite of Wilshere's dubious injury record, at that price it's a no-brainer

[ironilunga]

£6m Wilshire?? That's chicken feed these days.

Its the hope that kills you. I have personally become a bit too burnt out over the years waiting for players to reach full fitness. It feels like we have had more than our fair share including Dyer, Carroll, Ashton, Hall, Sakho and a good few more.

Let someone else take the risk this time. We should sign players who are ready to go.

[ashbanki]

Not saying Wilshire is not good - but, where would you play him? That central MF is well stocked,imo - Kouyate,Noble,Obiang,Fernandes and Lanzini.If it were to replace Kouyate, we would lose our back up CB.Likewise Obiang,in a defensive capacity.Noble will be used sparingly anyway and Fernandes to add legs,imo.
I daresay he is on fairly big wages and, if it's such a good deal, why are Bournemouth not all over it??
If Kouyate was to go, he needs to be replaced with a predominantly controlled defensive MF or a deep lying "playmaker" neither of which are really Wilshire,imo.

[Nick W]

6m peanuts. Maybe to anyone but West Ham.

Instead we attempt to spend millions by loaning players..

Wiltshire worth a punt?
I am losing the will to live in this window. But if we sign another player who is constantly injured, I'm going to be so annoyed (again)

4 weeks to our first game, I expect us to be signing players fit and ready to play who are quality. Not 12th or 13th choice pickings...

Pay up or self up S and G
