Chico seems to be doing his best to win a move though! Had a very good game against Germany and then hits the winner against Korea, got to be worth at least £30m now if someone came sniffing!

Why would we want to sell him?

Not saying we should, but wouldnt be surprised if someone had a sniff given his stop start season for us. At least by having a good world cup we can ask a small fortune...

Seri would be a cracking signing. I am happy with our business so far, and getting Seri and A.N Other would be a great summer. We have addressed several key areas, and as long as we get a DM and a replacement for Lanzini, and can keep Arnie and get Chicharito in the team, then the coming season could well be a cracker!
Agree.... but we thought that last summer !!

I think last summer Sullivan had a bigger say in things, Bilic was already under pressure and the doubts were already there. I think with the new manager who has a proven track record, and some more good purchases to back up people like Arnie who pretty much carried the team in some games we should feel a bit more optimistic. Not saying aim for top 6 finish mind you! Be nice not to spend 3/4s of the season stuck in a relegation battle.

The problem is that you have to spend £50m just to stand still these days.

An ‘ok’ Championship player now costs anywhere between £10m and £20m and GSB have always baulked at spending that much money, so we will always struggle to stay at ‘same level’ never mind getting to the promised ‘next level’.

We might not want to but we've seen what happens when players want out. Didn't play to his strengths last season so assume that's being considered/assessed etc. especially watching his last couple games for Mex.

New Director of Football taking over negotiations apparently - hopefully keeps Sully from upsetting the other side for a while longer argue

I know that I should know better having supported the Hammers for 54 years but... I have the feeling that Pellegrini and his assistants could make a big difference to the club.

Hopefully it'll be the change that we've needed for a long time - we've been amateur like for too long in dealing with other clubs, transfers & the press.

I’ve thought that too many times in the past.

Reports of a bid for Bruno Fernandes this morning...given the unrest at the club this might have some legs in it?

Unrest at the club Fernandes is at! Last month a bunch of fans stored the training ground and attacked the players, who in turn want their contract cancelled so they can leave. I think the club has come to an agreement to sell them instead for reduced fees...
