Goddard, I also quite like Sol Honor

I stand corrected. But he was still in the squads wasn't he? Look If you think we would have got 30 million in the summer then good for you but I disagree and I have given my reasons why

Ive just listed a number of fitness issues. Players joining late, players who are injured/carrying injuries and players who didnt have a pre season.

who the 4th? after Toth, Michalski and Pears

Derby score And we are into the bottom 3. We could be there a while.

It isn't just that He was available for 18 million , it would not have been a secret and only Palace came in.I accept we would have got more but not 30 million and every time a young player makes a move its made out that its proof we would have got a similar fee for Wharton Like earlier this summer the defender real Madrid signed from Bournemouth was used a Spanish international after earning plaudits for a strong season at the top level Dibling after some decent performances in the prem and others they are different circumstances I'm obviously gutted Wharton left so soon and I said we would get a bit more money but not 30 million like some think because Spurs happened to pay that for Gray Whether I'm right or wrong it makes no difference anyway whether he was sold for a million or 100 million we know it wasn't going to go back into the team anyway so yeah be gutted about losing a talented home grown player a fan who was an exciting player to watch but I wouldn't be getting too upset over the fee if you think It could have been much higher.its been said a multiple time by gestede and Pasha it doesn't effect budget

Yes, Raya went to Southport in the national League on loan, Michalski needs to do similar Barrett is our 5th best keeper, at best, no where near ready, & never will be

He was lucky to keep his job last season and their fans didnt seem happy that he did. They need new players and a new manager. Hes a typical modern day manager. Trying to get players to do things they clearly arent capable of doing.

Derby fans on not happy with Danny Batth and why they sign him fitness? what issues? Derby signed Carlton Morris on the 26th of June, is that late now? I guess Eustace will want to sign Oxford's winger Dembele then if he wants Wingers

I said in April an ex-player told me the senior players were all pissed off with Waggot and Pasha for the lack of ambition, the way they run the club and with Eustace leaving. Looks what has happened with the senior players since. It’s not their close relationship with Eustace. It’s the lack of any relationships at Ewood. They no longer like the working environment,

These players wont sign new deals here, not because of a relationship with Eustace. But because mainly of money, like anyone. Our inability to offer new deals promptly and offer sufficient new deals has led to us being unable to get anyone to sign in years. We dont offer competitive wages. That account clearly has an intention to make the club seem helpless and the players leaving to be unprofessional. Suggesting they had new deals offered ages ago when they said they hadnt, and repeatedly suggesting that they dont want to play for us. Unprofessional and tacky. Thankfully most have seen through it. But it sums up how dysfunctional we are.

sacking Potter isn't the answer and not after to 2 bloody games. What they need is signings.

He wants to find players similar to himself. He is 6 4

I can see the account and I read the posts when they do. Yes it is deffo someone in the know. I don't think the account really makes people turn on Travis. Some will natural cos he wants to leave. I don't get his desire to go to Derby but it must be his close relationship with Eustace, so fair enough. Its his choice. I thought Brittain would be the one player to re-sign here and how wrong I was

I think they have had a lot of issues with fitness. Agyemang isnt fit, Morris only signed late, Weimann missed some of pre season due to injury, Bobby Clark isnt up to speed, Beck is injured and Brewster missed all of pre season. They also are obviously going to strengthen with Travis, as well as Johnston (right back) and they are looking at wingers.

Surprised more 'expert' predictions didn't have West Ham down to struggle this season. I have posted I think they are likely to be involved in relegation fight. Sold one of their best attacking players and don't seem to have strengthened much. Potter's half-season last season was piss poor. I know he hadn't had the benefit of a pre-season but not sure how much value that really is - he had half a season to make some improvement but none was apparent.

Voodoo in Benin - What you need to know Genuinely is the biggest religion in Benin apparently

They dont want promotion,its not the 'project' FFS!!!

They have a poor squad but still, surely West Ham have to get rid of Potter? Crap manager.

No he wasn’t. Made his debut February 2024.

I dont get why whether one England under 21 manager selects him or not, why that determines how highly rated he was across the board? Also, international selections are often weighted towards bigger clubs. Surely more reasonable logic is to look at the direct circumstances. Where we desperate to sell? Yes. Was it in the summer when clubs spend far more, especially on players not necessarily to slot straight in? No. Brings the price down.

Not sure how many caps but yeah he was playing for them when at Bristol City

25 million Scott was with reportedly no sell on fee again I think Scott was being appreciated more than Wharton (wrongly) side and was starting ahead of young players at prem clubs for England u-21.I have previously said 25 max I think we would have gotten for Wharton I take your point about January spending but its rare a club are trying to push out a player as talented as Wharton for the price we sold him for .And for eg Spurs where looking for a midfielder like Wharton and if they favoured him over Gray they would have been putting a bid in when they knew we were desperate sellers rather than pay 30 for Wharton In the summer. We were playing poorly , Wharton had his share of poor games also as you would expect at that age It's my opinion that clubs had doubts about wrongly so...why is a lad who is obviously so talented not being picked for the England underage teams all the way up.The coaches must have had a reason for not selecting him, even with big club bias plenty of players from other championship clubs were being involved I wasn't sharing their doubts and every big club would pay a fortune for him now but after letting him prove himself at another PREM club

We accidentally over-ordered 2XL shirts from Macron & so need players who fit them…

Isnt pointing out the mistake "micro scrutinising" him and not supporting him?
