A good collectors item - I've ordered mine even better for me as an old Mod with the badge....Mods...(Ask yer Dad kids)...!!

So looks like he will be signing. Decent player but what's the plan? Does he replace sakho as a striker or Is he joining to play on the wing? His natural position seems to be a winger. With sakho gone I think we need someone who is an outt and out striker

i have to say i didnt see the match. but the result was a big disappointment. i know its only half time but we put out a strong side. last year it was a similar thing, almost like no one wanted to be in the competition. this year we were told its a different story. now bilic is saying the squad is no where near big enough for the season. what? the season starts in two weeks and our squad is too weak? i for one don't get all this talk of needing a striker to replace sakho but according to bilic we can't get anyone as we can't compete with arsenal, chelsea etc which is fair enough but what about when berahino would be a good swap deal? spurs don't want him now. i think his attitude stinks a bit but he's young, he's got great pace and potential so why not, i mean times running out here. this Bacca deal is on and off and to be honest the guy obviously doesnt really want to come as he's waiting on other offers.

40+ years of commirment to the hammers and they send the HR department to kuck him out the club with 14k redundancy money.Piss poor if you ask me !

in the fight but the size of the fight in the man.....I put up this old saying in answer to the question should we buy ben yedder...apparently the board are worried about his size and physical build in being able to deal with the premiership but when you consider Lanzini/Payet liverpools coutino all thriving in the league so surely its about the mans personality and mental approach more than physicality....yes we no some players cant handle it but you see so called big guys bottling it when you would expect more from them(insert any gooner centre halfs name)..of course not being big means you can get knocked off the ball easier but against that you can be quicker and move around a lot better than some one 6ft plus...there are many reasons not to sign players but IMO this should not be one of them

Are we on the telebox on Thursday - as its Europa it should be BT but I've checked the listings and cant see anything.

carroll had a slight groin strain played Saturday seemed ok then bam cresswell suffers a knee injury and now Lanzini has as well that sees him return from training for the Olympics and reportedly rules him out of that thank god....but how long will his injury keep him out....so here we go two key players ruled out for goodness knows how long hows your luck west ham!...squad depth will once again be tested to its limits.

Hoping we sign this guy for 1-2 seasons, different league to Zaza who works hard but will never be prolific at a good level.

Just seen quite a few bits of pre season and we are putting some brilliant low crosses across opponents boxes. Seems to me we need a striker in the mould of Gary Linekar in his hey day. We we get the right man it could be seriously happy days! Unfortunately these type of crosses are not meat and drink to Andy Carroll!

Just a quickie has anyone had there tickets through the post yet ??...2 weeks today, barring a RL test match against the aussies later in the year I think it might be the only time I get to go to the OS this season..
