So much melting over us not paying £60m for Kudus. A player that is average in a shite team. A player that’s been barely mentioned on this forum before 10 days ago. Is everyone so desperate for the dopamine hit of a signing that we’re now demanding a club record fee be spent on Mohammed fucking Kudus?

Settle down for fucks sake.

Very predictable

Complain about being lined to Kudus
Complain when he goes to Chelsea.
 
Kudus will go Chelsea. It's so obvious.

West Ham will take glee in shafting us for a player we want and selling to Chelsea. We will dither because we are too tight to pay what is required. Chelsea will come in and get the deal done in days.

Just watch. Will be just like the Neto situation.

Then we watch a rival in Chelsea and Woolwich, but more so Chelsea, stacked with about 9 top attackers, and we can barely field 3 for the upcoming season.

YAY.

I'm just sick of it to be honest, every single year it's the same and it will never change whilst Levy is pulling the strings.
Watch Arse & Chelsea dump their unwanted on us.
 
Well said. Can't just start overpaying and let West Ham rip us off for a player they are desperate to sell. Let Chelsea come in with a stupid offer of they want.

For all the noise coming out of West Ham. It sounds like we are the only club who's offered anything so far and Chelsea have their hands in alot of pies. No guarantee they come in for kudus
And we’re believing noise from a West Ham ITK? Jesus fuck. Maybe it is the case, I have no idea, but hardly worth losing our shit about.

Tough to get value in the English game anymore. Even if teams “have to sell”, they still get top bucks for their players.

I’d imagine we are working on many deals right now - we just aren’t advertising it on a billboard outside the ground.
 
Who is a better alternative?
Hold on, let me consult my extensive worldwide scouting word document……

How the fuck would I know? I’ve seen Kudus play and haven’t been impressed. Certainly not “£60m and help out West Ham” impressed. I’m sure there are many players in the world who would offer better value, but my life, family, job, etc makes it tough for me to do the work of a scouting team dozens of people strong.

Kudus is very talented and I’ve been impressed when I’m watched him in recent seasons. Technically gifted winger who would add something to our squad we don’t have.

It’s a player the manager clearly wants and who was already the next option after not getting mbeumo. So sorry if fans are unhappy we’re not getting our 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice for a position we desperately need upgrading and will likely end up with the 5th or 6th name on the list that the club will spin us who we wanted all along. Why don’t you tell us who you’d be happy with us signing for RW now that mbeumo kudus and semenyo aren’t happening ?
 
So currently there is Dibling available for around 40-45 mill and he will probably be happy with 60k a week

Or there is Bakayoko at PSV who has one year left on his contract so PSV will let him go for 25-30 mill and I guess he would sign a 70-90k a week contract

Dibling we bid for in January and apparently Frank at Brentford was looking at Bakayoko to eventually replace Mbeuno

Can't really think of any other viable options tbh......Fofana at Lyon? I saw Guessand mentioned too

Lol.

It's not one player. Fuck me why are some people so slow.

It's years and years of the same general approach every window.

I couldn't give a shit about Kudus specifically, but the same numpties pipe up making the same excuses for this ownership every summer, like clockwork.

Man, seriously, stop it with that shite. You must know that’s made up bollocks when you type it?

As for desperately needing upgraded and who I’d play right wing - I’d not sign anyone and play our top scorer there instead. But I’m one of those weird old fashioned cunts that like my attackers to attack and score goals and my defenders to defend and stop goals.

We don't need Dibling. Another young prospect who isn't ready to start for us. It's debatable if Dibling would even be ahead of Moore and Odobert in the pecking order..
