Westham's total debt has risen to £165m, not including the hit they have taken due to Covid-19, possibly as much as £200m by now. They have a wage bill of around £136m (67% of turnover)and rely far more heavily on match day income than we do. How much is their revenue down (season tickets) for the next season? They may need to borrow JUST to stay afloat. They are not going to publicly admit to this, obviously, however... "As the Board stated, “retention of our (Premier League) status is an absolute necessity for the future wellbeing of the club.” I think, behind closed doors, they know they have to sell before they can buy. Chelsea too.

I saw an article online today about the players West Ham should be offloading (including, Anderson, Lanzini, Wilshere, Masawaku and Ateji). The problem will be trying to find buyers, and who will take on their wages. I think it will be difficult for them, which leaves us well placed for Exe (hopefully)

Not many clubs will be able to pay them that.

I’m being told that his signing could coincide with the release of the new kit for the season that’s why we are holding off releasing the kit. I have been told we are in for a further 3 attacking minded players & possibly a defender. Brentford’s game tonight will also decide on our options as if they win promotion we will change our target to the guy at Celtic if they lose then we will be in for Watkins. McCarthy looks like he is going could form part of the deal with Celtic? Be patient we will sign 3-4 players.

Well the BMW trio for Brentford have shown nothing against Fulham tonight so are we sure they would do any better against Premiership defences? Not sure any of them would improve our situation.

Sure I read in one of the reports West Ham were waiting to see who got promoted from tonight's game as if Brentford didn't go up then they are going to go for Benrahma. Think that would make them less likely to compete with us for Eze and personally I'd rather we went after Celtics Edouard rather than Watkins. They are keen on Mccarthy so we could use him in the deal. Edited by Mwncisee (04 Aug 2020 10.44pm)

Very handy info, thanks Dazza.i hadn't thought of McCarthy going in part exchange for Eduard. That would be a smash hit in my book

Brentford out now, so attention might turn to Watkins? But not sure if he's an out and out striker? Personally Edouard sounds a better option with McCarthy as part of the deal?

Didn’t do a lot last night admittedly but thought Fulham played well. Let’s not forget Maupay was in that forward line last season and they didn’t get promoted but imo he is a good PL striker. Brentford appear to be able to pick up young players and nurture them

Eze is in the final year of his contract and yet they want top dollar for him. How come our players get into last year of contract and everyone thinks they can low ball their values, the rumours about Guaita confirming this attitude.
