The names are coming thick and fast Rennes central defender Nayey Aguerd on his way in …Ward-Prowse wanted…Lingard wanted but at huge wages.
Soucek it seems looks to be on his way and will only stay if there are no offers although we are told there’s is a European club closing in.
Said Benrahma will be on his way out so long as the manager can get Lingard despite having spent £27 million on Nikola Vlasic when he failed to get JL in the summer of last season. That is very strange!
Areola is looking likely but again at one heck of a wage whilst Yarmolenko, Fredericks and Masuaku are all likely to be gone.
Word among journos inside the Hammers scene has been for some time that Moyes – for all our success over the last couple of seasons – hasn’t been overly happy with what he’s got.
That now appears to be coming into the public domain via ourselves, No doubt other sites will let it be known as they eventually catch on to what’s occurring.
But what to make of it all is difficult and this is not the time to judge the manager. We will see where he is at the end of July.
Right now we are waiting for the first official announcement of a signing but as things stand here’s my ratings out of 1)on what we have heard.
Possible Ward-Prowse signing 9
Areola to sign 7 Would prefer Nick Pope
Nayef Aguerd at £30m wait and see
Soucek to leave: 0
Lingard at £180k a week 4
Benrahma to leave 8
Yarmo, Masuaku, Fredericks to leave 9
