Definitely, don't mind Bilic at all, quite a likeable chap.
But judging by the players they've so far been linked with their approach hasn't changed much, so we should be in for a bit of a giggle this summer...hopefully the hopeless owners will be gobbling off like normal and making stupid promises, which inevitably will end in anger from their fans, that's always nice.

I think the 'talk' is why a lot of our fans have such contempt for Redknapp as well. It's one thing to be open and honest with your fans, but FFS keep it professional - when something doesn't need to be stated on twitter or hanging out of your car window - Don't say it!

It's hilarious to watch but how they're run is the definition of stupidity.

Especially when his conception of seasoned internationals is (almost literally) someone who played for Botswana under 23's in an Olympic qualifier once

But their transfer policy is delusional - they seem to bid for every player on the market, regardless of the player being a good fit/motivated to join them/remotely interested. Then after rejection after rejection they sign a semi-crippled, inconsistent, overpaid waster.

They need to go back to basics and actually build a strategy from the ground up - otherwise they'll continually waste money on fees and wages for little reward.

Looks like they've got that sorted now. .. They're after Sturridge this time.

Iheanacho and Batshuayi are our two top forward targets and we will make a move for both ⚒

(As covered on the podcast) Zabaleta has a great contract offer from us, he has other offers from abroad but is expected to join us soon ⚒

Yes that's the username. I can believe the Zabaleta one, it was even in the media a few days back, but the other two.. come on. They did go for Batshuayi before, actually, but he obviously rejected them to stay in France. Long before Chelsea came along. Iheanacho.. I can see him wanting to play more but not play for them. Not even as a makeweight in another deal because they have no one City would want (Lanzini at a really really big stretch).

It's the Daves going around saying they are going to sign a 30m striker again, isn't it?

Batshuayi would be on loan

Their internet fans seem to be going full Liverpool and Arsenal in their transfer dreaming.

He's been getting better each week. Reckon Conte likes him and will have him pushing Costa more next season. Can see him getting a good run. He's got that edge about him and he's a better finisher than Costa.

Cannot see any young players wanting to go or stay there now

David Gold issues bleak outlook for West Ham's youth players

He said on Twitter: "I think we all have to (accept) that it is extremely unlikely that a teenager will break into a (Premier League) team full of seasoned international(s)."

wow, Gold has just hit a new level of stupidity with that tweet.

The likes of Kane, Winks and Mason say hi by the way Dave

Its so short sighted, imagine how the older players in their academy feel after reading that.

Just as unlikely IMO. More minutes at the end of the season, showing he can score goals.. they'd be mad to get rid of him, unless they are buying someone new they have Solanke (out of contract soon) and Remy (on loan somewhere) and that's it for back up strikers.

Speculation is that Chelsea may be looking at getting 2 strikers this summer.....

If they do that then i would guess Bats is free to leave.

They'll buy, it's the Chelsea way
