That's how you stop being a big club and become a permanent championship side. You ever thought that the lad could be quality? It doesn't matter where he signs from. It's how good he is that counts. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payet was fire for them for a couple of years. West Ham can attract players. As someone said earlier, money talks and they pay it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just can't get it right with keepers can we, a new one comes in every season and barely manages to complete it before not being needed. Maybe spending £20m will sort it. It’s all about Viljami Sinisalo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Butland is really good. Surely we can get Etheridge for a lot less though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted June 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2019 It would be hilarious if stoke agreed to take any of our keepers in px just for the fact it would rob small heath of some money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Harry Maguire is apparently worth up to £80M. It’s going to be an expensive summer whoever and whatever we sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If we can get Butland for £15m I'd say go for him. We need a quality keeper and I think he would be an excellent signing. This is going to be a very expensive window, which I guess makes sense considering it's our first one back in the PL and we released half our squad this summer as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was sat in the lower DE stand beside the north, when lower north was the away end. Wimbledon fans gave it the bigun when they went one up, by half time they were singing "we want 10" - the wimbledon fans were awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wound people up on fantasy site that he was a sell. 1 shot on target in about 10 games or similar in his slump 9 league goals is good return for first season and imagine he had similar number of assists. West Ham issue was Aranutovic wanting to leave for China mid season so can see why a striker like Gomez would be on their radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically we're talking about keepers now, Fabianski had a tremendous season for them and he was only 7m from Swansea, probably why I'm so keen on us signing Etheridge as it has similar under the radar vibes to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke want 20m + (partly due to the sell on clause to SHA). Palace and Bournemouth are certainly in for Butland so there's the competition right there if our interest is valid.

He scored 8 goals and 3 assists between GW 6-19 and 1 goal and 3 assists in the other 22 games where his form fell off a cliff for second half of season. Is that consistency worth +30 million???

Is that consistency worth +30 million??? I'd be more than happy with El Ghazi posting that next season. Even a big money winger if we sign one. League last season had elite strikers like Aubameyang, Salah and Mane being top scorers on 22 goals so I'd say a winger in his first season in England playing for mid table team scoring nearly half those goals wasn't a bad effort. Lucas Moura (who many were creaming themselves over because of his famous CL hat-trick) scored 10 premier league goals so little difference at much higher placed team.

I can't believe we called Steer back from Charlton instead of Chilavert from retirement. It beggers belief that we aren't tapping in to the retired market ffs.
