MrSpaM Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 It's nearer £70m which will all be paid off when they sell Upton Park and move to the Olympic stadium. I wish we got 70 million for moving grounds! I'm interested to hear your logic behind this?
Guest Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 Yeah but will he want to sit on the bench for liverpool I think any player would prefer the bench and dreams of Europe with a Massive club rather than the Champ with Leicester.
wellyfox Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 I wish we got 70 million for moving grounds! I'm interested to hear your logic behind this? i think the implication is developers will pay 70mill for upton park :crylaugh:
MrSpaM Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 i think the implication is developers will pay 70mill for upton park :crylaugh: And that their getting the olympic stadium for free ?!?
wellyfox Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 And that their getting the olympic stadium for free ?!? This is the mighty hammers with the biggest fan base in the world. See your taking the piss but the whole world wants the hammers to win :crylaugh: :crylaugh:
escos Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 I wish we got 70 million for moving grounds! I'm interested to hear your logic behind this? My logic is it was what I was told by somebody very close to West Ham who is a good friend has no reason to lie. The land the stadium is on is worth a fortune plus they will get new sponsership deals for the new stadium which they are leasing and not buying.

But has been reported in all press that they have to borrow 40 from newham council. And that is on there bid for the stadium not made up.

You are right but that money,which is being borrowed at a very very low rate for a very very long time,is for boxes and retractable seating etc etc. They are leasing the ground on a 100 year lease.
foxes2011 Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 i saw an interview with big sam on ssn, he said that west ham have enquired about him, doubt hed come to us , he would probley be able to get pl
fadedfox Posted 28 July 2011 Posted 28 July 2011 This seems a little odd from a West Ham perspective imo. They couldn't stump up the cash up front for CMS at £3million so what makes them able to do £8 million for Long now? They haven't shifted any of their best players yet so where are the extra funds coming from? I think this is a case of... ...just waiting to happen. Sullivan and Gold have put in £30 mill this summer from personal funds and have stated this publicly. Dont believe all the hype about the clubs debts and so called poor financial state. Sullivan and Golkd are VERY smart businessmen and are worth about £800m between them according to the rich list.
80footgiraffe Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 What would people think about an £8m bid for long? ....do you know something?
Kilworthfox Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 What would people think about an £8m bid for long? Too much & Liverpool have expressed an interest according to SSN, I can't see it personally. U just throwing this one out there as a suggestion?
The Doctor Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 I'd think we've been duped. Decent enough player but not worth 8 mill, closer to 2 or 3.
sphericalfox Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 What would people think about an £8m bid for long? As an Irish supporter the lad is Fraytt x 20. Great with his head, great with his feet, and pacey as fook. However, 8 million is a lot of monies. Though he would easily repay it with goals for fun, and the support from our immense midfield. We would need a decent winger to utilise his talents to the full. Unless that's coming, I can't see him doing what he's done at Reading again for us.
Dan Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 A deal potentially being £8mil with at LEAST £3mil of that add-ons, acceptable. £8mil up front would be plain daft.
Callabinho Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 What would people think about an £8m bid for long? Definitely not worth that much.
Kilworthfox Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 After the play-off final defeat against Swansea, chairman John Madejski declared Long to be world class. "What is the value I would place on him? £20m."
Happy Fox Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 A fantastic striker so it is true about this about this amount of money which was mooted 2 days ago, so obviously it would be difficult to entice a striker from the prem to come to the championship so now we are turning our attention to Long, he would be a fantastic striker for us
Stevosevic Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 Too much i think, i would pay £5million but i know Reading want £10million.
JmorsonLCFC Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 last season was the only season that he's done well in....no thank you, well not for that much.
