We are SO much better with him that it's something that should be considered. Obviously the contract couldn't be anything like what he's on now but don't need to match that, we just need to match what he'd get elsewhere.Am

Pretty much this. If we can slot the winger into the center if the central striker breaks, that would be a massive bonus.…you can only sell players when a club wants to buy them and when they are prepared to leave. Nobody will ‘buy’ Ali, it’s unlikely Keane will go on his salary.
I imagine Holgate, Gomes & maybe Godfrey will be open to offers. Simms could be sold. Cannon is already a better 3rd choice than Maupay. No way will the club want Coleman to leave, he’s such an influence & I actually think we’re ok at RB with him and Patterson.
I doubt we’ll keep Coady but he was a useful loanee, Branthwaite could be a fine addition.
For me, we need an effective central striker. We need a winger who offers genuine threat and goals and we need a LB.
Hamer is an excellent little player, very creative, gets goals, quick, strong, and not afraid to get stuck in there. Ward Prowse is an odd one imo, he is world class on set pieces but the res of his midfield play is fairly ordinary. If you look at his numbers for other stuff like tackles and interceptions and passing and general midfield stuff they are nothing special.Yes would be a good fit considering how crucial set pieces will be next season. I assume thought he'll be part of the collection of players West Ham will attempt to buy to try to replace Rice in one go.
Wonder if Hamer from Coventry is worth a look at? Scored a nice goal in the play off final and scored 11 for them over the season.
Thelwell's hit rate is actually pretty good, most of the guys we signed last summer have contributed well, Garner looks a player and we'd already make a profit on Onana. He also got us 40m for Gordon. it's just that the key position was striker and we got Maupay so that's a pretty big negative but I'd say his work so far is neutral to good.i know Thelwell recruitment hasn’t been great but we’ve had 3 signings ( Tarkowski, McNeil and Gueye) who’ve been pretty much ever present and 2 ( garner and Onana) who’ve shown promise.
Another 3 or 4 ( a LB, CH, ST, RW) first XIers please this summer…
Can we try and swerve PL players full stop pleaseCan we try and swerve the recently relegated players who will cost a fortune still.
