I feel Paqueta would have a place, tbh. Diouf looks like a decent buy as well (I'm sure you mentioned him before), only 20 too.

Nice to see us being clinical and come back from an early setback.

Whatever they feel like. The inconsistency in the PL is the worst.

I know they've been dire, but to have walkouts after only two league games (less than a week of the season gone) is shameful. If Potter doesn't get sacked ASAP, the owners are more daft than they look.

Enjoy the cameo while it last. (Please stay fit)

I agree. I would have just taken Enzo or Joao Pedro off. This is a defensive minded change.

I'm happy Santos is on. Just thought keeping Delap on to get a goal would have been the better call.

How bad can you be at defending corners?

Hermansen concedes 7 goals in 130 minutes~. That should be game over. More goals are there for the taking.

Some run and assist from Estevao.

If we get saved by VAR, we need to wake up. Looking a complete mess defensively.

That's more like it. A rare set piece goal.

A side that was played with by Sunderland. No one closing him down at all. If we are going to continue doing this, we aren't going to get anything.

So much for that. I hope Palmer's injury isn't serious.

I'm disappointed Josh is on the bench after his performance V Palace. Estevao not starting is slightly surprising as well, but I kind of understand it based on the style of football West Ham play. We need the three points today. No excuses.

I'd honestly be shocked if he ended up there. However, I do feel like the chance to sign Rogers has gone. Everything in the media has pointed to the higher ups being fond of Rogers. He would, in my opinion, play as a 10 instead, therefore Simons would be a no-go (seems like a cert unless someone swoops in). Now that we are so reliant on outgoings, it appears like any business we do wind up doing will be last minute.

It seems like they would both have to be certain deals. Either way, this would be the ideal scenario. Just feels like our final two attacking signings were decided weeks ago.

I have a bad feeling one of them won't go or we'll end up doing some stupid loan deal like we did with Sterling (believe we paid two thirds of his wage). Jackson to a Serie A seems like something that will build momentum should Villa not sell Watkins.

It's a shame he'll miss the second leg of the CL playoff V Celtic. Having CL football under his belt before joining us would be great for him.

Eze thrives playing centrally. Something that would have been a cert at Tottenham especially with Maddison's absence. I feel the answer will be no. He'll be far easier to read as well.

Same for Madueke. They aren't going to start, so they aren't doing much for their careers. I guess in Eze's case, it might have something to do with wanting to prove to the club he shouldn't have been released as a teen to begin with.

No idea why we are even entertaining them are our previous dealings.

Nkunku seems nailed on to leave over the coming days. Not sure how much we need before being able to spend freely.

This came showed one thing we're lacking massively - central goalscoring options. If Palmer isn't on his game, we have a hard time creating things. Rogers, Yildiz, or Simons need to be signed as soon as.

I feel like this game is calling out for Delap. We need more presence up front.
