Badger Posted 14 April, 2019 Share Posted 14 April, 2019 West Ham being linked with Jean-Kevin Augustin. He’s been an unused dub recently so his value must have dropped. I’d say if we can match any other bid, the lure of working with RH could make it a goer. That’s if Ralph still wants him. http://https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/report-claims-west-ham-could-rekindle-january-interest-in-rb-leipzig-striker-jean-kevin-augustin/amp/ Thought they were in for Mitrovic Season not over yet and West Ham linked with everyone already. Nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Kucho Posted 14 April, 2019 Share Posted 14 April, 2019 I can sort of see why people think Boufal might produce something under Ralph, even if I disagree personally. The rest of those players though have shown absolutely no sign of anything close to being a Premier League footballer. The last two aren't even youth players any more, Hesketh is 23 and come next season Reed will be nearly 25. I can understand the club wanting Ralph to try and get something out of Boufal, Elyounoussie and Carrillo. We paid big money for them after all.

Danbert Posted 14 April, 2019 Share Posted 14 April, 2019 Would give Carillo, Boufal, Elyonoussi, Hesketh and Reed a go at the start of next season. Maby not starting but in the squad. A new good CD. And a good Striker is enough for me this summer. Reed, Ramsey or Yoshida can replace Valery if he can't play. Sell Gallagher, Austin, Stephens, Forster, Clasie, Hoedt and McQueen or Targett. Goal Gunn, McCarthy, u23 RB Valery, Reed CD New, Vestergard, Bednarek, Yoshida LB Bertrand, Targett or McQueen DM Romeu, Höjbjerg, Lemina, Reed OM/RW/LW Redmond, Sims, JWP, Elyonoussi, Armstrong, Hesketh, Boufal ST New, Ings, Long, Carillo You'd seriously keep Elyuseless? There is no point in filling up our squad with dross like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza82 Posted 14 April, 2019 Share Posted 14 April, 2019 I think we should try to get Tomori from Chelsea. He really impressed me when we played against him earlier this season.

We paid big money for them after all. None of them are good enough. Desperately clinging on to them in the hope that they will suddenly improve isn’t going to bring that money back, just waste more on wages whilst blocking us from bringing someone else in.

Kingsland Red Posted 14 April, 2019 Share Posted 14 April, 2019 Anybody else watching Lille v PSG ? Very impressed with Pepe and Bamba up front ( with Ruis Fonte !) tonight ,as Jose Fonte scored the 5th goal in Lille's 5-1 win ?

Skickat från min SM-G955F via Tapatalk I had a huge soft spot for Ramirez, and I'd like to see Boufal come back, but, I've never seen Elyonoussi do anything to suggest that he has any of the qualities to succeed at this level. He's slow, he plays the obvious ball, he can't trick his way past his man, he's behind the play - he's just... useless. He must be fit now, and he doesn't even make the subs bench - he's behind Reading reject Josh Sims in the pecking order. Hassenhuttl must've formed an opinion by know, and if we possibly can shift him this summer, I'm sure we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph tried to use him and gave him a few chances, but he never showed any glimpses of anything decent, and I'm reasonably sure now that he will not feature again. Hopefully we can sell him in the Summer, but have my doubts, probably have to loan him back to his Norwegian club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big problem we face in the summer, all these coming back from loans we will have to try and loan out again as we will never get a decent offer for a sale for any of them. Its just such a waste of our limited transfer budget and also takes so much time to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article also talks about homegrown players - the salient point being that the likes of Shane Long were all developed in the English leagues and have a good understanding of what English football requires.

Though we are hardly a foreign XI, we have JWP, Redmond, Gunn, Ings, Bertrand who all have England caps or U21 caps, plus Yoshida has been here for years and generally the Scandanavian players seem to settle into British culture pretty well. And then Valery is a youth academy product so has been around British football for a while. But probably good we focus more on some lower league talents. There are definitely some good players in the Championship right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
