If they're valuing him at close to £30m it would have to be all 3!
Worse things happen at sea…… lol

So much wrong with this I don't know where to start.Plenty of people coming back from loans capable of making an impact
Cundle, Mosquera, Chiquinho, Lembikisa, maybe Podence
Otherwise the free agent market won’t hurt if we offer good wages
Not a chance he goes for 25m plus if Norwich stay down....they are not fair off parachute payments running out, which has always been key to their business plan..Cant see us spending £25m plus on a single player tbh
We will bring a CMF in im sure but not at that price
We got £45 million for MGW. And without that we couldnt have bought Cunha. We dealt with MGW perfectly IMO.Hopefully not the same situation as MGW & Mir where loans used to develop them then want to leave when they hit the required standards
Does anyone here see West Ham as ‘bigger’ than Wolves?Hope gazza gets what he needs in the summer otherwise he'll probably walk/go to west ham

I see their squad a much better than ours.Does anyone here see West Ham as ‘bigger’ than Wolves?
Yes they have a shiny stadium and have won a trophy recently but over all of the years l have been watching Wolves since we returned to the second tier, l have always seen them as our equal. Especially when we beat them in that Div 2 fixture back in 1991(?)
I don’t see moving to West Ham as a step up. If GON goes there we need to get Moyes in
Really? We had a young England International, world cup winner, that we treated so well that he couldn't wait to leave and now shows nothing but hate and bile towards us.We got £45 million for MGW. And without that we couldnt have bought Cunha. We dealt with MGW perfectly IMO.
Yes really. I have absolutely no doubt at all. Cunha V MGW no contest . I suppose it would have been nice to finish with him on good terms but that is more down to him and his character . I would love to know what Forest players think of him.Really?

I'd say Guedhi is better than Max which is why he's on the edge of the England aquad and Max is no-where near.I find it amusing when people talk about our players and the fact we would be lucky to get 50m for this player or 35m for the other, but when they talk about other teams the fees spoken about are huge, I heard the radio shin palace would be looking for 150m for guehi, Eze and olisse, there no better than Kilman, Neto or cunha, in fact I would say cunha is the best out of them all,
OK, I should clarify, I agree with you - I also prefer Cunha to MGW. That point I was trying to make was that 'we dealt with MGW perfectly', because we obviously didn't. Something went badly wrong for him to hate us so much.Yes really. I have absolutely no doubt at all. Cunha V MGW no contest .

I think it’s down to the fans calling him a ****er last season. I’m sure he has no animosity with the club itself.OK, I should clarify, I agree with you - I also prefer Cunha to MGW.

Very cool insight. Thank you.I do understand that perception because I have for most of the last 40 odd years thought the same.
However, about 5 years ago at work I had access to some very expensive syndicated Yougov market research (I used to work in data analysis).
That research was a massive and ongoing survey of people's attitudes on a range of topics including hobbies and sports teams. You could use the statics in the research and demographics to extrapolate the level of support a club has. Obviously as a football follower I spent some time looking at who were the biggest teams using that research.
I just remember being astonished at how many people identified as a West Ham fan compared to other clubs. Overall Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, and to a lesser extent City were all where you would expect, but I was just amazed at the level of support people self reported for West ham - something like three or four times that of Wolves.
This was a few years ago, but I just was staggered because same as you I always thought they are largely the same as us. Obviously now they are pulling in 60k home crowds I think it proves their pool of supporters, I don't see any way we are pulling in crowds of 60k on a regular basis.
It was also proven using the statics that wolves had about 40% more potential support than Albion.
But they won the World Cup they like to say.I appreciate that West Ham get big crowds these days, a lot of whom I believe are heavily subsidised, but I do have a problem acknowledging a club as being 'big' if they have never won their domestic league in the whole of their history.
You beat me to it.....But they won the World Cup they like to say.

You’ve answered your own question mate, bigger stadium, they have won something, so yes, they’re bigger, add in he used to play for them, they’re in the south and he’s a southern, they spend money and we don’t!Does anyone here see West Ham as ‘bigger’ than Wolves?

Unsurprising that a lot of people self-identify as Hammers supporters given the population distribution in the S.E.I do understand that perception because I have for most of the last 40 odd years thought the same.

Wasn’t Hoever a CB when we signed him? He’s probably one of those that O’Neil has to have a look at pre-season.4 goals and 3 assists from Hoever this season from RB/RWB. I wonder if there is a way back for him. I hope so, I rated him quite a bit don't really think he did much wrong (bar that Liverpool game) but needed experience which he has now.

And cancelled the week after!Pre season tour will be announced this week....
Yes ...we everything goes so quickly......I wouldn't joke about the cancellation.....cause heard it's Korea again and maybe Singapore...And cancelled the week after!
Joking aside, if that's true, it really does feel as if the seasons blend into one don't they?
I’ve long thought Ramsdale and Nketiah for Neto might be good.Ramsdale/ Neto seems a possibility...
Wolves won it so long ago that nobody else cares tbh. It's all about what have you done for me lately. And in wolves case they haven't won anything for 2/3 generations lol.I appreciate that West Ham get big crowds these days, a lot of whom I believe are heavily subsidised, but I do have a problem acknowledging a club as being 'big' if they have never won their domestic league in the whole of their history.
Is that right? Well, Korea would be an obvious choice to tap in to Hwang-fever. And Singapore is somewhere I fancied going so I'd better check the bank balanceI
Yes ...we everything goes so quickly......I wouldn't joke about the cancellation.....cause heard it's Korea again and maybe Singapore...
I don't want Nketiah...he isn't what we need for me ...nw before people jump on me , yes he may score goals at this level but for me we don't need another fast , small , not physical striker ...we need someone who will work his socks off and provide the physicality our forward line has been lacking since Raul injury...someone who can provide the space for Cunha Hwang Sarabia etc....that's is what teams at our level need ....I’ve long thought Ramsdale and Nketiah for Neto might be good.
But arsenal fans seem to be very negative about Nketiah, they rate him less than we rate Silva…
Why have an academy if we don’t to use loans to make them better? Chiquinho is a good bench option? If you want big names on the bench that won’t happen we aren’t Aston Villa or Newcastle with an open cheque book hence we are using players like Chirewa at the moment who did well did he not?? Lembikisa I think has time on his side to improve.So much wrong with this I don't know where to start.
Cundle is on the bench for a team fighting relegation from the league below
Mosquera absolutely
Chiquinho is never going to be anything more than scraping onto the bench here, when we have injuries IMO
Lembisika is not going to impact our team
Podence, ugh
Feee agents are not free. They cost.
It's not the 20k a week extra, more the signing on bonuses etc.Why have an academy if we don’t to use loans to make them better? Chiquinho is a good bench option?

Free agents cost but there’s no transfer fee the clue is in the term free agent paying them extra 20k a week is still better outlay for the club financially?? I trust hobbs
Rumours already circulating we have buyers for players like Sa, RAN, Neto and Guedes. Let’s hope we spend wisely if we are serious about improving the team
Wouldn't be against this if he wants the move as well. He's one player that's always ****ed me off when playing against us, would be nice to have a bit of that ****housery on our side for a change.
