This is the same player who now wants to leave West Ham for a Champions League team a year and a half after signing him, these players have no loyalty or team ethic and we should be steering well clear of them.
We shouldn’t try and buy players who want to leave their clubs?

Not sure buying players absolutely loyal to their clubs is going to work.

It’s West Ham can hardly blame him.

Anybody know anything about Joachim Anderson the Danish CB from Sampdoria? Seen quite a few articles linking us to him.
Not seen a ton but he's a biggun. Right footed but has played LCB to decent acclaim. Can pass and not give you a heart attack. Rumors say he's affordable in the 20m range but who knows how accurate that is. Could all be contract talk agent rubbish for all anyone knows right now it seems.

I've seen articles go as far to say that their chairman had travelled to London for negotiations. Although I believe about 5% of shit I read about transfers.

Lucas Moura hasn't improved our attacking options? Foyth our defensive options? Fabian Ruiz would have done wonders for our midfield this year, release clause had him move to Napoli for a very reasonable fee. Torreira the same for Arsenal.

The club has successfully brain washed a lot of you that these deals are just impossible to make.

how do you know he would of improved us? he might of struggled like so do, he might of got injured like many have.

Moura has improved, because had he not we would of struggled while players where finding their feet, and getting some rest. he hasn't cost us a match, in fact he helped us win at OT for the 1st time in 4 seasons when others weren't available

Foyth has improved our defensive options, has played 2 PL games, won 2 PL games scoring the winner in one, he like Moura has improved our depth

Arnautovic was £20m a player right infront of peoples noses for 3 years but most couldn’t see his potential or how he may flourish with slightly better players. People get very snobby buying from stoke instead of Ajax.
Your conclusion may be right but your evidence does not support it.

Arnautovic was at inter and was very poor and was surrounded by good players. He has a poor attitude and that has been evidenced at most clubs he’s been at.

Particularly stark given the emphasis poch and the players have on the quality of the dressing room.

Arnautovic? Never in a million years.

Uh, not sure what you're getting at. So any transfer can fail, of course. I never said they couldn't?

"you just said Fabian Ruiz would do wonders"? and at 75m you would want it guaranteed (going by the price others posted after the post I quoted).

Fabian Ruiz cost 30 mil, hence why I was discussing reasonable fees for players that would help us.

Le Parisien saying PSG's sporting director is making a contingency plan to sell Rabiot to either us or Juve in January. Usually a top tier source when it comes to PSG. Interesting as I thought he was off to Barca

I think they ideally want to keep him, but would rather sell him to someone in January before he leaves for a free in the summer. Makes sense, but ultimately up to the player. From everything I've read seems like he'll hold off to the summer. Can't blame him.

I'm really torn on him as a player and whether I would want him. Most people say he's a dick, but he's exactly the kind of midfielder we all want. But then I've read fans say he doesn't look as good playing against the top sides in the Champions League. I lean towards I'll pass.

I think he'd be class in the PL. He's got the aggression, size and quality. I mean, he could well be a dick, but a lot of the stuff I've read it seems he's typically French when it comes to speaking his mind when it comes to his team's poor performance. I'd don't mind a bit of that, as long as you've got a strong coach to stay on top of it.

Has it been him that's the issue or his mother? I always thought it was the latter.

Either way, he's the profile we should be looking at. Young, talented and cheap-ish due to contract situation.

He would be most welcome but must be on silly wages at PSG so juventus is the most likely destination.

From what I've seen/read the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Ah. May still be worth it, though. Aurier was thought to be a bit of a headache when he was there, but he's turned out to be fairly harmless (at least off the pitch!). Maybe getting Rabiot out of France and under a strong manager would curtail some of his dickishness.

What about Betis' left-back; Junior? Dude loves to attack, he's been involved in a few goals recently and can cross fairly well from what I've seen. Fairly quick though which is a huge bonus
