West Ham fight North London pair for English star West Ham United are interested in Hull City defender Josh Tymon but have a host of Premier League rivals as competition for the teenager’s signature including Tottenham and Arsenal, according to ESPN. The 17-year-old is highly rated at Molineux and broke into the club’s first team in 2015-16, making a number of impressive cameos. http://foreverwestham.com/2016/05/b...ham-fight-north-london-pair-for-english-star?
Back in the PL then I only expect us to lose Jahraldo-Martin and Taylor. Aluko is a 50/50 imo. However first off we NEED 3 new strikers before anything else.
Surely Sone is gone whichever league we're in, as we wont want him and he wont want to stay. The most important thing for him next season is to play 30 games no matter at what level. There's such a good player there and I think 50% of the problem is in his head.
I suspect that Glasgow Rangers may take him back especially as a FAT. However, on his day he is more than good enough for the PL here. But as you say Aluko needs to play and he would in the SPL.
footballing wise i'd keep Snod and the back four the rest can go. you guys want to keep elmo and thudd? are you mad
as long as we look at signing Will Hughes from Derby then Thudd could go, however in the Premier League he`ll have a point to prove and marginally more time so could once again do a job for us.
I'd look at some of the fringe players of big Premier League clubs, like we did last time, maybe Loftus-Cheek on loan and put an offer in for somebody like Januzaj. I'd also take Ruddy from Norwich if we go up.
As we need a third keeper now in the PL. I'd be more than happy to keep Jak. I think he has earnt another deal. Decent goalie for us.
Pulisic who I have said I would love us to sign (or get on loan) just scored for the US and became the youngest american in the modern game to score an international goal at 17. Not sure we could even sign him to be honest he made 9 league appearances for Borussia Dortmund this last season and scored 2 league goals.
Wishlist: - Prolific striker to partner Hernandez - Depth striker to come off the bench (Wilson, Bamford, Rashford on loan if possible) - Left winger (Clucas will probably end up depth, not sure what will happen with Maloney) - Right wing depth (if we release Elmo, but might keep him now) - Centre Back (Only one name needs come to mind!! And I reckon he'd be keen!!) - Left back depth
Standby for being linked to every footballer that's potentially available .. but this time round we must get a keeper and a striker it's imperative.. while the jak did a job he still comes across as a bag of nerves and doesn't instill confidence.. also abel needs help up front .. simple .. the burden needs to be shared
