They've apparently bid £20mil for Celtic Dembele. I wouldn't like to see him end up there. Hopefully that bid is just for show for their fans. Anyway, I don't think the bid is enough nor Dembele stupid enough to go there.
edit: now the rumour is the €20mil is not for Dembele but Snodgrass

Defoe, Snodgrass, I can see they are certainly prepared to spend big to achieve their aim to be one of the leading clubs in Europe. RM must be gutted to see they'll have a fight on their hands to get any more superstars.

Sounds like they have money lined up for Payet they are ready to spend, Payet body language and early subs would also support that idea

I suppose raping their fellow relegation candidates makes sense.
FTFY.

Snodgrass will do well for them, 7 goals so far this season and makes Hull tick. At 29 not much of a future.

The Evening Standard are reporting that WH are increasing a previous £8M bid for Scott Hogan at Brentford to £10M (Brentford want £15M).
So from sending a begging letter to PL top clubs (except us of course) pleading for players on loan, they are now looking to buy from the Championship. Someone has recallibrated their aspiration level in the correct, downward, direction.
(No slight against Hogan intended, as I know nothing about him and have no idea whether the step-up to PL would be good for him. (Obviously joining the Spam is not a step-up, apart from currently being a PL side)).

My nephew is a season ticket holder at Brentford and rates him highly, but he did think Pritchard would make a premiership player when he was on loan there!

I think that they originally bid £3m and wanted the taxpayer to make up the remaining £12m.

Originally published in the Daily Mail and on MailOnline on Monday 9 January 2017, award-winning sports columnist Martin Samuel penned his views after the FA Cup third round exit at the hands of Emirates Marketing Project.
The five times SJA Sports Journalist of the Year and regular Sky Sports Sunday Supplement guest took a closer look at West Ham United’s current form and dismissed a correlation with this summer’s move to London Stadium.....
Who remembers Fortress Upton Park? No, me neither.
And, yet, after another depressing capitulation, this time against Emirates Marketing Project, the airwaves and message boards were full of disgruntled West Ham fans who could not recall their team rolling over like this at the old place.
Shipping five goals to City and Arsenal at home in the same season is being blamed on the move to the London Stadium, as if the best teams once shivered when imagining a trip to east London.
Happily, there are record books for the times when memories fail, so we can see Emirates Marketing Project lost once in seven visits to Upton Park in the period from March 1, 2009. West Ham's home record against Arsenal was even worse, a single victory in 14 matches since October 3, 1999.
As for Manchester United — 2-0 winners on January 2 — they also recorded two-goal margins of victory in 2014, 2011 and 2009, and Chelsea won by a margin of three goals or more at Upton Park in 2013, 2010, 2008, 2007 and twice in 2006.
So let's not pretend. Upton Park had its moments — not least in the final year — but it was never mistaken for the Bernabeu by visitors.
The negativity felt by the locals towards West Ham's new stadium is a contradiction anyway. On one hand, fans are furious because the team keep losing, on the other they say they did not want to move to a new stadium, because West Ham was more about community, good football, and having a laugh with your mates, and it didn't matter that they wouldn't win the league.
So which one is it? It cannot be outrageous that West Ham keep losing, but equally outrageous that the club should have left Upton Park because success was never the aim. Does the result matter or not?
In the 17 years between 1964 and 1981, West Ham won three FA Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup, and lost in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup and the League Cup. In the 35 years since, the club reached one FA Cup final, beaten by Liverpool, and were relegated four times between 1989 and 2011.
So whatever magic existed at Upton Park, it wasn't working, in finite terms. Stay, and West Ham could only get smaller and smaller, onwards to irrelevance, as their London rivals expanded. Leave and there was a hope of becoming more competitive if the club pulled together.
Sadly, the stadium has now become an excuse for failure. This has to change if West Ham are not to plunge headlong into catastrophe. Buying poorly in the summer has more to do with West Ham's poor form this season than concrete.

That's not the only embarrassing thing that they've posted on their official site recently. Much more of this and people will start to think that they don't know what they are doing.

So what is the message? Wet Spam were sh*t before the move and are sh*t now, so it's not right to blame the stadium?
