SuperSAINT Posted 23 May, 2018 Share Posted 23 May, 2018 #DildoBrosWatch GOLD PROMISES PELLERGRINI FUNDS David Gold says West Ham plan to provide new manager Manuel Pellegrini with more transfer funds this summer than in any previous transfer window. Pellegrini was confirmed as Hammers boss on Tuesday and immediately targeted "four or five" new signings to ensure no repeat of last season's relegation struggle. Gold and fellow joint-chairman David Sullivan have come under fire for a perceived lack of spending in the past, but the 81-year-old has promised to splash the cash with Pellegrini already putting together his wish list. "He's working on it right now, that's why he's been brought in," Gold told talkSPORT. "He's identified the positions he feels we need to strengthen, and it's up to him now to tell us the players and we'll do everything we can to bring them in. "You can't put a figure on it because you don't know which players are going to leave and that will add to the kitty, but what I can assure everyone is we will probably spend more money in this window than we've spent in any window in the past.

SuperSAINT Posted 24 May, 2018 Share Posted 24 May, 2018 Nice signing. Was very good last season. WOLVES CLOSE ON BOLY Wolves are close to completing a deal to sign Porto defender Willy Boly on a permanent basis, according to Sky sources. The 27-year-old spent last season on loan at Molineux and helped them to promotion to the Premier League as winners of the Sky Bet Championship. Sky Sports News understands Wolves have triggered an option to sign Boly for a fee in the region of £10m. Boly scored three goals in 36 appearances, earning himself a place in the PFA’s Championship team of the season. The Frenchman will become Wolves’ first signing of the summer.

They want the Roma goalie, but they want £60m or so for him, to make up for what they perceive as Salah being too cheap. They also want to sign Fekir.

Plus whatever Roma can get out of them for their goalkeeper. £50m?? Plus Fekir maybe for £60m. So that would be say about £200m. The PL has well and truly become a joke about who can spend the most.

I am not saying he isn't a good prospect, but he's very far from the finished article and still will be next year, he's got plenty of mistakes in him and needs more time to develop and get experience. Plus clap clap they finally produced a decent talent that actually makes it into the first team, first one since what Gerrard? hardly like it's an achievement. ---------------------------------------------- If they get who they are expected to get their spend over the last 3 windows is going to push £350 million, if they don't win the league they have failed IMO.

SNSUN Posted 29 May, 2018 Share Posted 29 May, 2018 Can't see it. Soon as they start getting near the top, they will lose players to Barca etc. Agree with this, although I'm surprised there aren't more noises about the "giant teams" being interested in Salah and Mané. Oh, and Liverpool were recently linked to perennial Saints-HCDAJFU stalwart Hakim Ziyech, although now it looks as if he's off to Roma. I hate to say it, because I hate them, but Liverpool are making the right noises in the transfer market. I just keep hoping the other top 6 keep getting stronger and frustrate them.

SuperSAINT Posted 30 May, 2018 Share Posted 30 May, 2018 No surprise to see teams wanting J-Rod. TOP-FLIGHT CLUBS KEEN ON £20M RODRIGUEZ Burnley and Bournemouth are interested in signing West Brom striker Jay Rodriguez, SSN understands, following the Baggies’ relegation from the Premier League. West Ham and Palace are also keen on the striker, and are monitoring developments, we’ve been told. But the Baggies will not sell Rodriguez on the cheap - he scored 11 times last season in all competitions, in a team that managed only 31 goals in 38 Premier League games. He still has three years left on his West Brom contract, after joining from Southampton for £12m last summer. It’s thought any bid for the player would have to be worth more than £20m for Albion to be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 30 May, 2018 Share Posted 30 May, 2018 Certainly think it was a bit careless of us last year letting him go, north of £20m is fair for him, really good player who works his arse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 30 May, 2018 Share Posted 30 May, 2018 Certainly think it was a bit careless of us last year letting him go, north of £20m is fair for him, really good player who works his arse off. I like him, but he wanted to go and he (or his father) had been agitating for a move. £12m was a fair price given his post injury contribution. I though it represented a bit of a punt by WBA (imagine the meltdown on here if the roles had been reversed), and they'll do well to get back what they paid imo.

Do agree that it was time for him to leave, but can't help but feel we should have given him more of a chance under Puel, he only seemed to get the odd game, and when he started he showed he can still do it (Bompey away). Turned out ok for both parties, but I'd take him back right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 30 May, 2018 Share Posted 30 May, 2018 SSN: Afobe to Wolves? WOLVES TO TRIGGER £12.5M AFOBE RELEASE CLAUSE Wolves are set to trigger Benik Afobe’s £12.5m release clause, allowing the Bournemouth striker to return to Molineux on a permanent deal. SSN understands talks are at an advanced stage for Afobe, who scored six goals in seven starts after signing on loan for the Championship winners in January.

And is now worth more than they paid for him. They'll be laughing. Even though he only signed for him a few years ago, the market for players has increased considerably since then so the fact he was signed for £10m doesn't mean much. They're probably selling him for £8m in 'old' money terms now for £12.5m. That's why the clubs that buy players and send them on loan prosper - those players don't even need to do well they just need to exist and clubs make decent profits on them.
