    Interesting..

    Sounds encouraging.

    Good to hear. Reassuring that CP sees the need for some strengthening and that Baldock is on the wish list.

    It's good to hear that we are looking to bring in several more new faces and I can understand that agents are looking for inflated salaries. These demands will hopefully get more realistic and affordable as we get further into the transfer window.
  • RossRoss
    I can't see Baldock or any other striker coming in without one or both of Hayes or Clarke leaving first.

    BWP, Haynes, Kermorgant, Cook, Smith plus one other gives us enough options.

    Blimus !! What a shaft of positivity after the last 2 weeks of worry !

    SCP always knows how to bring a smile back to our faces !

    At last & from the horses mouth, so to speak !!

    can't fault SCP - says all the right things and they all make sense. After today's game I don't think there is that much urgency for players - apart from another CB as we really only have Cort to replace Taylor & Morro (Mambo not Championship standard imo) and a quality, esperienced striker.

    Glad to see we're actually in for him. I had a feeling that we'd talk about signing him all transfer window and then he'd quietly move to another team and we wouldn't have been anywhere near

    good stuff, nice to see that powell is talking about signing 2 or 3 others :)

    Well pleased with that assessment by the great man. Cheers NS.

    Shame we couldn't get them all in before Spain though as he originally wanted.
  • ShootersHillGuruShootersHillGuru
    These next three need to be of a standard to play first eleven straight out of the box.

    Really sounds like he's calling the shots which is a big relief.

    Extremely good perspective ( as ever ) from our leader. While it would be great to have everyone on the plane to Spain on Monday, I expect a lot of transfer fees and wage demands will become more realistic as the season and the closure of the window approach

    Just seen hi-lights of Reading's 7-0 win at Wimbledon. Antonio appeared to be on fire. Having signed Cook and Wilson, both of whom can play wide, I assume we wont persue him.

    As for Baldock, I can only see us getting him on loan. Wages will be too much for us to get him on a perm.

    He looks useful.

    good news from CP in my opinion...looking to improve the squad..not going to be paying over the odds for one player that may blow our budget......wants 2/3 others and prepared to play a waiting game to get who he wants....I think we may be surprised by who we do get....it may not be in the next week....but before the season starts I guess.

    I agree we may be surprised

    According to some on the west ham forum he may have said something like "he wants me gone " when he scored yesterday.

    Let's hope so. Nice home waiting for you Sam just across the Thames.

    Saw the goals on SSN yesterday and you could clearly see him shouting at the WH fans in the away end after he scored.
    Is it a risky move if SA wants rid but the player is keen to stay? Perhaps that will fire him up to prove a point, as he's been doing in pre season with 3 goals in 3 games.

    Yeah, my Hammers mate claims that after he scored, he clearly wasn't happy & was shouting 'They (and gestured to the bench) want me gone'

    Where have people seen he is on 15k a week?

    Yeah I don't think we would even be perusing him (it sounds like we are from the Powell interview) if that was the case.

    Sounds like Solly staying then?

    It was reported in the press when West Ham signed him. It was also given as a reason for us backing away from a deal when we initially went for him.

    Hopefully if we sign someone like Baldock, we include relegation clauses this time so we don't end up back in League 1 with players on Championship + wages.

    Not being pessimistic about our chances, but we need to learn from past mistakes.
