I'll be amazed if we hold on to Payet now!

Apparently he doesn't want to go:-

H67, do you do AV installation? Could potentially need your hope later on this year, drop me a line if you want to talk about several potential jobs.

Not exactly BM. I just do the occasional job for a mate who does logistical work for a couple of local AV dealers. I don't do any of the tech work, just help out when more hands are needed, some of the screens now are so big they're often a 4 man lift.

OK no worries, always like to give work to people where I can! 4 men to life one TV?! Crikey!

Didn't like reading this:-

Let's not talk ourselves into a sale.

I can't see either of them taking him - bearing in mind age etc.

Besides as long as he's a WHUFC player I can just about bring myself to cheer for France

[TCEvo]

Incidentally the Club's confirmed that Tomkins has left & joined Palace - bloody shame.

In better news Antonio & Cresswell have both signed new contracts.

Agree pity about Tomkins.

And then there's also this - France’s Dimitri Payet happy to stay at West Ham next season

Better get used to it. Being in Europe and with Payet this will happen more

Doesn't help though when after a lot of grief (not from him) my son is down at Centre Parcs that weekend.I've made arrangements on the Saturday to drive down to Longleat from Essex,pick him up at 9 am,bought tickets to get the train back to London(instead of doing 4 x circa 170 miles journeys in the car) then back onto the train back after the game to Longleat to drop him back and then drive home.....and now they've changed it to the Sunday FFS

Apparently Inter are going to offer £38m for Payet:-

I wouldn't say don't sell at any price but if that is the value I would prefer to keep him in claret & blue.

BBC reporting we have signed Gokhan Tore on a 1 year loan.

[TCEvo]

Yep, confirmed by the Club yesterday:

http://www.whufc.com/News/Articles/2016/July/11-Ju...

Apparently there's a large loan fee plus an option to buy.

I think that's three new signings now & sounds like more to come w/ Caros Bacca negotiations ongoing.

Annoyingly Lanzini's off to the Olympics w/ the Argies - if they get all the way to the final that's played on the 20 Aug.

[Axionknight]

Apparently Sunderland have been sniffing around Sakho and he is willing to leave - how would you chaps rate him? As a long suffering Sunderland fan we really could do with bolstering our attacking options, do you reckon he would be up to the job if we were to clinch him?

[sjc]

Works hard,good strength, prob needs to up his finishing a tad to be top top level, but our fans appreciate him and he'llbe a good buy. Personal life seems to have the odd issue .

We're used to that!

[TCEvo]

As per SJC, decent player but has his personal issues; which appeared to cause problems last season. Also a bit injury prone.

Scored 7 from 23 appearances last term, 12 from 26 the previous.

Another thing to bear in mind is that he plays for Sengal, who'll be at the African Cup of Nations - depending on how far they get that competition runs from 14 January – 5 February 2017.

Whether he'd move to Sunderland if BS takes the England job remains to be seen though.

[Axionknight]

Aye the last bit is a bit of a head scratcher. We took Whabi Khazri (Tunisian) in during the January transfer and Sunderland refused to release him due to our usual relegation woes looming large, although if the club was finally in a more comfortable league position by January this time around (a man can live in hope) then I doubt him leaving would be an earth shaker.

[TCEvo]

It's more the former Manager / former player relationship - seems always to be a lazy journo story; hence any player that was signed for or played for BS during his WHU tenure seems to be perpetually linked with a follow-move to where he turns up (although if it's Eng & it involves Noble that's not such a bad thing )
