West Ham: Smart Start, Ambitious Target

West Ham United‘s summer transfer window is officially open today and we welcome our new winger Luis Guilherme to the London Stadium

The signing of Luis Guilherme is a low-risk, potentially high-reward move. He arrives with a proven track record in Brazil and has already seemingly adapted to the club’s expectations. While not a marquee signing, he adds depth and competition to the forward line.

On the otherhand, West Ham’s reported pursuit of Ivan Toney is a bold move. His goal-scoring record is undeniable, but the hefty price tag and fierce competition raise questions. Can West Ham, without European football, convince Toney to join their project?

Landing Toney would be a statement of intent, but West Ham are up against established giants. The lure of Champions League football and potentially higher wages could be tough to compete with.

West Ham’s transfer strategy walks a tightrope. Securing Guilherme is a shrewd move, but the Toney pursuit might be a gamble. West Ham need to carefully weigh the financial implications and convince Toney of their vision for the future.

    “…the Toney pursuit might be a gamble…”

    You neglected to add: “But then, also, possibly not. Depending.”

    Such bold journalism. The writing of sentences could be assertive; but then, perhaps it could be second guess itself in order to appear responsible. Depending.

    You might edit. But then again, you could write without thought. Either way, it could be a gamble.

    Another absolute waste of screen real estate! I’m sure you just spout drivel and don’t actually re-read or listen to what you’re saying. Inaccurate and contradictory is how every article you have written appears to most. He will complete his transfer on Friday, June 14, when the summer transfer window officially opens, subject to international clearance and a work permit being issued. So “No Simon,” West Ham United‘s summer transfer window is NOT officially open today and we can’t quite welcome our new winger Luis Guilherme to the London Stadium just yet. This website used to post some valid points and articles occasionally, but now that seems to be a thing of the past. C&H seems to have turned into just another gossip and click bait website with copy and paste articles regurgitated from other gossip websites to fill space. You just waffle around a bland topic, in an attempt to get another article of absolutely no substance out there to fill the void!. Are you sure that your not a Spuds supporter in disguise as it would appear so from all the negativity you spout!!

    Guilherme a low-risk purchase? An 18 year old at that money is surely the antithesis of low risk? Maybe if we had Man City’s millions but not at 20/25% of our transfer budget for the summer.

    Simon have we special dispensation as the Summer Transfer Window doesn’t open until tomorrow June 14th like every other teams. Also have you permission to announce Guilherme as the official WHU website ain’t even mentioned it.
    🤷‍♂️🤦
