He's been absolutely shocking, you can go back nearly every game and pick out mistakes he's made leading to goals. Awful awful player he brings nothing to the team. Oh come off it, you're on the wind up now. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 James Chester? No way unless it's on severly reduced terms. I could take loaning him until the end of the season for 50% of his wages and then reasses in the summer, but I don't want to be handing him a contract anywhere near the current one. Considering he is also turning 31 in 10 days I wouldn't go above a 2 year deal with an option of a third on Championship wages. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a weird turn of events after having to overpay every bugger up until now. Guess we'll have to wait and see, wouldn't think anything would happen with Roberts before the summer anyway 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No prem side will indulge him, he's dropped from prem league quality and is 31 in a couple of weeks. So he will be looking at the champo, and I don't see anyone paying above 20k for him there. He'll be lucky to get that to be honest. He will likely be looking for 3 years I would think to make up a little for his drop in wages. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Still rather have Ben, if we can afford him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 What a back 3 we would have if Gibson did come back! Personally I’d drop fry and keep howson in there if he did, haven’t been that impressed with him this season he’s been all over the place at times. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-london-club-in-advanced-talks-to-sign-tottenham-player-after-breakthrough/ We kind of knew by this point but QPR seem like they've wrapped up Clarke. https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-keeper-bid-fails/ Also West Ham have had a 7 million bid rejected for Etheridge which is mental, I doubt they want to shell out 11 million for 2 GKs so it makes you wonder if the Randolph move is already dead... Top WH source: “The bid was turned down by Cardiff. We are still waiting on Randolph but his injury is a worry! " Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 If the Hammers want to Eff us around over Randolph we should start by increasing the price as soon as they come back in for him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Another 3 year deal for someone 30+ and he's no longer Premier League quality? I suppose I'd ask what the point is then? A 31 year old to replace the 31 year old we currently have that we don't want because we are paying him too much and really he's not that good. Sounds like a plan. I do get what you're saying though, it just feels like we're repeating what we've done recently without success. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Jesus this Randolph saga is taking long. You’d think it was 100 million pound deal. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just confused as to how this is possible all of a sudden when nothing like it seemed possible a few months ago. A new wage structure, won't pay more than £10k per week and a few months later that's out the window? There's no way we're signing these players on less than that, if we are able to sign them of course, so something has drastically changed it would seem or it's ***. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Was it a torn thigh muscle? Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the lack of expenditure in the summer and the possible sales are loosening the purse strings a little. Link to post Share on other sites
