We do it when we send players on loan or allow a chance for a recall but it had to be agreed in an agreed timeframe.

I just think there might be a clause that allows us to send him back after 6 months. Not that I think we will

Can we do better than Tieleman’s? I doubt it. I prefer lookman in the 3 spots behind the striker than somebody like perez at this point
Nick Posted 23 January 2022 Posted 23 January 2022 1 hour ago, Lesta2014 said: I prefer lookman in the 3 spots behind the striker than somebody like perez at this point Sure. For me that spot is on the left and probably second choice to Harvey Barnes. He’s a really good player and exactly the standard for a squad member we should be aiming for. For me, Pérez needs to be sold now as he’s no longer in the managers plans.
ARM1968 Posted 23 January 2022 Posted 23 January 2022 10 hours ago, MPH said: You missed the point completely. there’s not a single player out there who is going to play a belter every game. And if we can do better than Lookman, why haven’t we? I mean, the window is here, he’s a loan player. So why haven’t we sent him back and got this better player in you are talking about? Missed what point? You didn’t really make one. Of course all players are not tip top every single game. Lookman is NOT the answer at right wing. Do you think he is? As to why we haven’t gone out and replaced him, well, we do very little business in January. No surprise there. Do you think we couldn’t replace him for someone better?

Reckon we may need a summer of self raising funds and selling perez would make sense to me. Did he sign 4 or 5 year deal?

Indeed, but some positions are more glaring than others. Very few teams couldn’t improve. My point is, and will remain, Lookman is not the droid we’re looking for.

I don’t think the class of player we can attract will come mid season. End of season fresh investment and plans will perhaps see something else happening.

How much will we get for Perez and who would want him, we paid 30m for him and can't see anyone paying over 7m for him.

If you read my earlier posts you will see that I said I doubt we will sign anyone in January.
Iran Posted 25 April 2022 Posted 25 April 2022 Per David Ornstein, KLP is being linked with West Ham.
The People's Hero Posted 25 April 2022 Posted 25 April 2022 West Ham have already had a couple of bids rejected.
Phenom Posted 25 April 2022 Posted 25 April 2022 We don't need another LW if we keep Lookman. We need a RW in the worst way. 1
DezFox Posted 24 June 2022 Posted 24 June 2022 I would rather this guy over lookman has Bowen deal all over it. Shame again. Just don’t seem to look at championship anymore very frustrating. Who were the last players we got from championship? Maddison and Justin (albeit from league 1 but I believe they got promoted) bargain this lad. West game recruiting better again if he goes there. 1

West game recruiting better again if he goes there. i think there’s a feeling that the players are over priced. I don’t agree, but i can see how 30m for championship proven players doesn’t sound a good deal. But the thing is, recently a lot of the top players have made the step up with ease. Can’t think of the last championship star to really fail. Benhrama, watkins, toney, bowen. Pereira, eze, olise. they have all shown that the gap isn’t as big as some think. I think the league has progressed from what it once was and the scouting networks are pretty vast so some really good talent is finding its way in. Joe piroe ending up at swansea is a great example of this. No way that happens 10 years ago Edited 24 June 2022 by Lambert09 2

He was no worse than trincao and we almost unanimously said we’d sign him on the other thread but obviously for the price you’d expect more but I’d still say he’s good enough for the prem Edited 24 June 2022 by Lambert09
Jobyfox Posted 24 June 2022 Posted 24 June 2022 Apparently this lad is good at Snooker and Pool as well. Or at least ......... he's a Keane Potter!! 3

I was hoping we'd take advantage of Hull's financial problems but haven't they now been bought out so he'll cost a touch more. Where he fits in if we sign Lookman as well, I'm not sure as we need a left footed right winger. What's your thoughts on giving Justin a sniff on wide right? He's said he needs to up his game, get more in the box, assist more, etc. Granted he's right footed and may benefit his game more in Barnes' position if he became injured/had a drop in form, but whilst I appreciate not of the calibre, a young Bale started left back and moved left forward without much trouble. Justin is fast, can attack players, I'd like to see him given game time there!

murphy Posted 25 June 2022 Posted 25 June 2022 (edited) My kind of transfer this. Young, highly-rated, one of the Championship's bright things. It makes perfect sense to me. Unfortunately West Ham have stolen our MO. THey'll do well out of him. Edited 26 June 2022 by murphy
