Based purely on personal preference. Chiesa.
Little bit younger, and whilst he is a clear cut right winger he is also more adaptable positionally than Raphina. Chiesa can operate off the left or even as a striker if need be.
And finishing above them last two seasons? Or does actually football not matter once you ‘win transfers’
It’s much easier for an underachieving, mid-table team to improve their team (if they put their mind to it) than a top-tier side.
Arguably, neither City nor Liverpool have improved their first eleven this window (yet). It doesn’t make West Ham (or us) more ambitious than those clubs. It just means they’ve had greater opportunity to improve with further to go.
If West Ham sign a CH who improves them but wouldn’t improve us — there’s no way Toribo (IF they get him) plays ahead of Romero — then I couldn’t give a fig.

Somebody’s going to lose an eye!
SKY journalists are the same ones who yesterday were trying to tell us that no talks were close to beginning between us and Bournemouth.
Now they're trying to make out that they were the ones that were on top the story all the way.
So you do want receipts. Here you go:
That was your original post. Here was my reply:
You having the second pea brain on here, with no sense of humour to add, assumed I meant we would sign no-one. At no point did the words, "We'll sign no-one like 2018" ever leave my fingers. You made the leap because you are the one obssesed with 2018 projecting on others for even mentioning it. I was solely talking about a couple of quality players - I clarified this a million times but your obsession with net spend since 2018 wouldn't allow it to register:
"Now tbf quality is subjective but to make my point clear so you don't make assumptions again, for a club who signed zero players for an entire year, I would not put it past them to not sign a COUPLE OF QUALITY PLAYERS for the remainder of this window. This club is more than capable defying belief in transfer windows"
"Do you think a became a spurs fan in 2018, fell into a coma and then woke up last week? You're still arguing with a ghost. Because you dodged my original question you continue to assume I'm talking about whether we spend on principle as opposed to WHAT we spend on. I'll quote you for a 3rd time on the sole point I have been trying to make: you questioned concern that we'll get "couple of quality" signings. I only used 2018 as an example that this club is more than capable of incompetence with signing quality to the comedic extreme of not buying anyone at all but you were too triggered by a four digit number to allow that to transpire and immediately went into "net spend" mode."
Take a bow you muppet.
This is how I know the people who shout down others for putting 2,0,1 and 8 together and claim we need to move on and need help for doing so are the biggest projectionists on here. They are the ones who can't move past it and seem to lose key stage 3 comprehension skills once seeing it.
I bet if 2,0,1,8 came up on your winning lotto ticket you'd be stupid enough to throw it away.
Is he the one who was lead singer with the Searchers back in the day?
How about Kubo?
I like the signing. Quite a bit. The fee makes me wince a little bit, but I can't sulk at us not spending big and then complain when we do.
The only concern would be, do we have enough wiggle room in the boards eyes to do anything else substantial after this. Because we do still need more.

I cringe at some of the stuff we got away with as kids!
My mate had a pistol crossbow, and I remember once this ‘twang’ as a bolt went into the tree I was stood next to at head height!
Without thinking and in knee jerk reaction, I raised my air pistol from the hip Billy the Kid style, and promptly shot him in the butt from 30 feet!
I was well chuffed with that shot! My mate less so!
Well, we are on +50m net spend right now.
We spent well over 100m+ last season. So youd probably expect there's at least two more on the way.
In an alternative universe, I’m thinking that Neto might have had a sneaky-good agent who would slow-play his transfer so he could extract the most he could get for himself and his client.
I doubt that someone as experienced as Mendes would jump at the earliest offer when he knows there’s other interested parties.
All reports previously indicated striker + wide player, but we'll see. I need to either see Eze heating up or new links to wingers.
Makes me feel positively cheerful tbh,
In all three previous seasons we did business on January too though, which accounts for some of our net spend.
