There are a number of pretty good players that we could pick up at reasonable prices from the relegated sides such as Sheff Utd's Gustavo Hamer, Vinicus Souza & Breton Diaz, Luton's Carlton Morris, Ross Barkley & Burnley's Datro Fofana & Jacob Brunn Laresen. The is also some talented players in the Championship such as Norwich's Gabriel Sara & my favourite Jonathan Rowe.

Thilo was an obligation to buy confirmed by Plattenburg in Jan. It was after a small number of games around 5, for approx 10mil total fee. Said Benrahma was an option to buy but has helped Lyon climb the table and he has openly talked about his frustrations at West Ham he wont be back. At least this time our loans have been positive mostly and helped our players maintain or increase their value. Which will add to the budget. Also don't be so sure Antonio stays either he wants a final pay day and the Saudis may come knocking. Many of Moyes's favourites will not suit a Lopetegui system so expect more movement than most fans are thinking.

Are you sure Kehre is an option, heard it was an obligation? He’s got CL where he is too.

I think you will find that Alverez plays in a hybrid role. When we're up against it he'll be in the middle of a back 3, progressing forward in possession.

Thanks, Frankie. You always put on a good informative show

I can't see many players coming back. I think we'll lose Aguerd, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Downes, Paqueta, Ings, Mubama . Kudus can't leave till summer 25. Keep Bowen, Mavrapanos, Soucek, Coufal, Areola, Fabianski, Emerson, Ward Prowse, Antonio.... I keep hearing 6 new players needed. I think that's a, big underestimation because of players leaving, retiring etc. Even with say 4 talented youth players and no European football our bench is still light. I'd say more like 12 players needed but only 6 starters. The rest can be quality bench players. I know it's not a good thing to buy so many in one go and maybe we could do this in two stages over this window and January. If Tim really is totally in charge of transfers we could get some bargains. I think right now we need to buy a left back, right back, two central defenders a quality attacking midfielder, two strikers and a left winger, plus have proper options on the bench. Sullivan needs to stay out of it except writing the cheques.

Tim has said a three four year rebuild of the squad. Some are saying we need 8 to 10 players in this window.,, if Sullivan gets his way it will be2. 3. Promoted from the junior squats. 2 3 back in from loan. a couple of free transfers over 30,,, and one or two pound land specials

What about Lewis Orford?

I thought Kerher and Benrahma were definatly gone?

I’d bring them both back. They are good options to have if they want to stay

Keep Kherer and sell Benny for me. I'd love Kherer as a right WB or a high CB.

I really want unity between everyone associated with West Ham. Especially the unification of us fans. It would be nice to see Steidten & JLO fused together, to make the squad a success, to make the pro Moyes pundits, choke on thier own venom regarding thier poison towards our fans. COYI.
