This journo seems realitivly reliable since he broke the sangare deal being done but with his thread already being closed as not happening I trust banana a lot more in this

Maybe they’ve dropped the price and we’ve gone back in? Very sketchy about this for obvious reasons, but this was the guy who initially broke our interest a month ago so maybe has a bit more credibility to him than the likes of Pete O’Rourke and Alex the Crook…

 

[kaebess]

Or with Konsa? Nice dream though Kaebess.

Found this one.

Quote from the Yellow one, on the Konsa thread

Nice. £8m in the bank. Thanks Arteta.

It's not often that a sell-on banks us almost as much as the original selling price

He's not going to post that without checking and getting conformation

I just find it so hard to believe that after the performance Keano put in a few days ago, this is where we are looking to spend our money. Must have very high belief in our ability to round out his game.

 

[N5022N122]

In his post match KA makes a comment about that position however it's not clear what he says but got the impression it implied negative choice issues

Correct...
There were other reports that the sell ons had timed out.

Which aren't true.

It would be absolutely hilarious with all the Hammers fans saying "we'll bite your hand off" if we did absolutely that... and then casually turn him into Kayode Mark II

 

[andyrew]

Which aren't true.

I won't ask you for proof as I can't provide proof either.

 

[jbee]

I don't remember any reports, only some wishful thinking on the Villa forum.

Along with some numpties on X…

Aren’t they pretty reliable too?

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

The only way this makes sense to me is if Rico is on his way out which, y’know,

No smoke without fire here surely

 

[gbems92]

Left back seems probably one of our best stocked areas with KLP, Rico, Hickey, meghoma for long term, seems bizarre to spend such an amount on that position. Mr. Giles must REALLY like him

Maybe the unexpected income from Konsa, Pinnock and potentially Watkins has made this viable?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

We have decided to pay more than we think he's worth because we've has a windfall? Seems unlikely.

 

[djheavens]

My theory is they have come down on price expectation and player very much wants to come to us.
They wont want an unsettled player I'm sure so perhaps compromise being reached?

 

[maddogging]

Unfortunately Rico’s time is up. Hickey, not the mobile left back Keith likes and Meghoma, still young enough to come through. I’m not surprised we are looking at this position

 

[Edmundo]

Rough figures. All not budgeted.

8 mill konsa
6 Ethan
2 ish Watkins

Equals another KLP of the future

Ethan is 5 plus a conditional 1. The condition is probably Coventry staying up, so best to consider it as 5, not 6.

 

[Jakeybfc]

Pinnock leaving frees up some wages too, that must have helped

 

[ziggys_human]

who even is the yellow one? this mythical 'banksy' of the gpg

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Lyall now claiming we’re back in talks…

Usually that is the case I would agree, but not always.

 

[beeatitudes]

I wonder if it's also occurred to him that West ham aren't guaranteed to go back up this year, since that requires being competently run, or lucky, and they are neither....

 

[Wooburn Bee]

Hickey always looks better on right hand side for some reason even thought totally two footed

Only from Villa fans. I know who I would believe

 

[kaebess]

I believe in Ethan

 

[davewfilms]

It's been shut because it's been confirmed by a most impeccable source that we are not interested and Pete "I coulda been a contender" O'Rourke isn't going to change that.

Seems to be alot of noise and rumours going around still today.

 

[davewfilms]

To be fair Pete is pretty accurate with what he posts normally but as said it’s B*llox.

Are you sure it's B*llox still lots of noise about this deal still being on.

 

[lambrusco]

That Lad Diouf! Nowhere near the Wet Spam squad tonight !

 

[readingbee]

That Lad Diouf! Nowhere near the Wet Spam squad tonight !

I’d suggest definitely going then, just who to though

 

[hardybee]

Player power again. He wants to go, club are put into a position where they keep an unhappy player or cash in. I’d say for them, it’s not about trying to get the best deal they can….for us it’s about exploiting the position they find themselves in

 

[Deanos196]

Possibly interested to play him a bit higher up the pitch? Defensively had a mare against us last season

 

[Jim Rourke]

We have decided to pay more than we think he's worth because we've has a windfall? Seems unlikely.

I really hope so. I would like it to be ‘We will do you a favour and build the fee in performance payments and sell on as we see the lad as a project and could turn him into Kayode Mk II.’

 

[Kingston Bee]

Agree, its all about raising the bar, replicating what has happened on the right hand side.

 

[ITK]

With these new signings I can only see one thing, we have multiple players who can play in different positions. As seen against Tottenham on Saturday players are all over the field from their starting positions, with others able to adjust naturally into other positions. We have been leaders in specialist technology and coaches which others have followed. BRENTFORD BALL has now started enjoy the fun and mayhem. When others in the future try to copy this I’m sure our crystal ball will have more tricks up its sleeve.

 

[brentford born & bred]

This summer transfer window is starting to look like 2019 where we assembled a squad for promotion, summer 2026 we are assembling a squad for a European adventure.

 

[NZ Bee]

The Diouf situation seems quite simple really.

We put in an offer earlier in the window which West Ham rejected.

We were no longer interested.

The window is about to SLAM shut, and West Ham haven't had any other/better offers, and probably want to get some bodies in and out before the aforementioned slamming. So we might have called them, or they called us. doesn't matter. The player doesn't want to stay at West Ham, and our original offer suddenly looks gold plated to West Ham. Another PG masterclass.

 

[taxi driver]

I'll trust Phil etc with this

But, it's an awful lot of cash for him

I thought this was gonna happen with el mala before he signed a new deal with koln

Is it? A 21 yr old with prem experience who is also the established left back for his country.

People need to get over his West Ham form. They’re a dire club not fit to lace our boots and don’t have the same approach to developing players that we do. He’ll be fine with us.

I'm sure but he costs a Sangare or 80 Janelts

It's a heck of a lot of money for a full back by any measure

However he's at a discount compared to Ben Chilwell

I don’t know who the reporter is but got a good few followers, I hope it’s not true, feel like we’ve got a really complete squad now, we don’t want any of our big players leaving….although realistically where would he go? I don’t think he’s quite good enough for top 4 teams and I’m not sure outside of thst who’s got that kind of money left to spend

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

No chance we’d let him leave without a replacement. Surely too close to the deadline now.

Would take a massive offer for us to consider it I would imagine. Given the way we've started the season this could be a special squad we've assembled

Wonder Diouf comes in. Keano goes up on the wing?

 

[hardybee]

I love KLP but we would be much weaker up top with him starting in the 3 every week. We would massively miss Schade ability in the air. Especially if we want Diof whipping balls in
