Summer transfer thread

He did. He asked a question if anyone would be alright with it? Then he said he doesn't think Silva wants to go anyway and that he wouldn't want to lose him either. That was literally all he asked.

West Ham keen on signing Andy Cole's son - Devante Cole - as trialist impresses in friendly

Colchester beat a West Ham XI 1-0 at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, with an early free-kick from former Irons trainee George Moncur.

With the Barclays Premier League club facing Birkirkara in Malta for Thursday night's Europa League second qualifying round second leg, manager Slaven Bilic opted to send a development squad up to Essex.

Striker Devante Cole, son of former England international Andy, was in the West Ham starting XI, the 20-year-old on a short trial having been at Manchester City's academy since 2003.

Colchester went ahead on 13 minutes through a 20-yard curling free-kick by Moncur, who started his career at Upton Park.

The League One side remained in control, with West Ham finding little opportunity to get back in the match before changes by both teams on the hour.

Irons goalkeeper Raphael Spiegel made a couple of smart saves from midfielder Alex Gibley and then Gavin Massey, before Sammie Szmodics hit the outside of the post as Colchester finished strongly in front of a crowd of 6,650.

West Ham Academy manager Terry Westley said today that the club were hopeful of securing a deal for Cole, who has been offered a contract at City and would be subject to a compensation package because of his age.

"He is someone we will look at seriously. We think we are short in those forward positions," Westley said.

"Unfortunately tonight it was difficult for a front player, because you are asking them to pick up their deepest midfield player and he did not get a lot of the ball.

"But he showed flashes that he is dangerous in behind, and we know of him obviously because it is part of our job to know the talented young players around.

So he has been offered a contract and he doesnt want it. Obviously doesnt have faith in his own ability to break through

I would sell Silva for 55 mill plus. Next season.

[sheblue]

Anybody even thinking about selling Silva should be shot at dawn.

That's how i read it, unless it is a poorly written article and he is signing new contract then being loaned to Hammers, although it talks of compensation for us.

More likely he has seen Lopes, Denayer & Kelechi (who's only just arrived) get promoted and doesn't fancy another loan stint? Hard to say really, but if he does sign for them there will be headlines about how we've not looked after him etc

hey, illiterate dumb fuck, i didn't suggest anything.

however, it raises an interesting point. Silva will be 30 at the end of this upcoming season. would anyone be okay with us including him in a deal to get Pogba this summer? for this hypothetical I'm gonna add that we acquire KDB separately as well. Im curious what the tipping point re: Silva is with some people.

Heheeeeee, I love it when someone is shown up for being a cunt :o)

To be fair to Phips (who gets an unwarranted amount of shit by the bandwaggon bullies on here), that quote is taken completely out of context.
The post where the quote is taken from ends with him clearly stating that he does NOT want us to sell Silva.

Would any bandwagon bullies like to punch Noolie in the face and break his glasses while he smokes a fag and reads Dune?

I wanna go on record as saying I wouldn't want that to happen and would be very much opposed.

Reads like a cunts statement when you change the topic a bit doesn't it?

Cheers

Also peace and love. Peace. And. Love.

[littlebig]

this bullying is a bit cringey tbh.

The sheik can turn down any offer. I would keep Silva and aguero for ever.
If I was worth 500bn+ I would pay them 200k a week for life.
We will always struggle to attract the top forigen players because most footballers are thick cunts, they think Manchester is cold and dark and it rains all the time. These cunts eventually end up at barca which stincks of Shit and its too hot to go outside during the day (or sleep st night).
Neymar and surarez deserve to be there they are the 2 biggest cheating cunts in the game.
I feel sorry for messi.

How nice of them . Must be bullshit then ! ;-)

[blues2win]

Di Marzio says Inter are very close to getting Jovetic. Suspect City aren't going to get what they might have hoped. If Salah is going to Roma that would mean the Dzeko is deal off. Hopefully not. We need to sell two overseas players if de Bruyne is coming. Jovetic plus Dzeko are the obvious ones.
