Watched Sampdoria v Udinese on a trip to Italy at the weekend..obviously just one match but Beto was non existent didn’t catch the eye, got subbed off whilst still 0-0 against a struggling sampdoria team so from that performance would probably fit in nicely here! great to see Gabbiadini again however!

and how did Gabbiadini play? Still making lots of dangerous runs off the shoulder of defenders that midfielders fail to see?

Bournemouth agree fee for Semenyo.

Do they have any of their own scouts or do they just Google who their rivals are rumoured to be looking at?

TBF - I think they've had 2 bids rejected already, think they moved first on that one.

With all due respect, if he was the only striker we were bringing in, we'd be playing Championship football next season.

Nowhere near good enough. Hopefully he was a smokescreen for another target.

Antonio at Hammers is available - bring him back!

It's smoke signals that I'm waiting for.

Oh sod it! Off to the pub.

32 years old  5"10 - 10 goals , 8 assists over 36 games last season - 2 goals and 2 assist this season
Kind of similar player to Che (better finishing)
If we could get a loan til end of season, it's no brainer... but I reckon he'll want a last pay day with a 2.5 year contract or so.

All part of an elaborate ruse to get Bournemouth to sign him.

West Ham wont feel safe from relegation yet, so I cant see them selling Antonio to a relegation rival, let alone loaning him to one.
Imagine if he scored the goals for us that sent them down.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Imagine this whole time Semenyo, Jackson etc we’re smokescreens for Gonçalo Ramos and Kamaldeen Sulamana - my opinion of RA would completely change.

Like I say, imagine. 🤣

 

Also I see Lewis Payne has signed a new contract, I bet he regrets that once Bree inevitably signs and he’s fourth choice RB. 😅

KWP is off in the summer and there is a major doubt about how Tino will recover after 2 significant injures and 12-18 months out. 

Its not inconceivable that he’ll be back up RB come next season in the championship.

What is Tino's 2nd injury? The one that has put him on crutches? Do we know anything about it or the reason he's not expected back this season? Wrong thread i know, but follows on from your post.

We should be throwing the kitchen sink at trying to get Ramos, he's exactly what we need.

Whether he's happy playing championship football next year is another matter.

WHU want £ not loan apparently. Antonio suggesting talks happening , according to BBC website

[derry]

It's been reported that we talked to Semenyo's agent last week and after that meeting decided not to pursue.

We should stay well clear of Antonio. A 32 year old on the slide. 

[goodymatt]

Whoever we are pursuing, there are seemingly zero links in the media about them atm. 

[Saint Matty 76]

We need to get a striker in cause Che can't finish, ah yes let's go for Michail Antonio
