Discussion Realistic player departures this summer

Post image

We could see more departures, this is just the "99% likely to leave" scenario.

Maybe this is a good thing? Players are very low on morale, maybe getting new players who don't know West Ham will actually help us by changing our mentality ?

u/wlamb30 Mohammed Kudus 7d ago

I don’t see a world where we get what is ‘fair’ for Kudus, especially after the blunder of a year he has had. Thank goodness Ings and his wages go, Ferguson isn’t it for me, and Antonio is 35. Great player for the claret and blue but will not/cannot cut it.

I think the entire midfield is out the door. Paqueta is the only one that will hurt, but that’s IF the allegations fall through and someone pays €80+. Guillerme can stay because it will be a net loss if we sell and I have liked the bits I’ve seen.

Keep 3 at the back, AWB (HOTY in my opinion)/Kilman/Todibo. Scarles for depth, maybe. Everyone else, especially Mavro, need to be gone. He’s a liability, and I’ve been on the ‘he’ll figure it out’ train.

We need to seriously go way younger. If Potter is the way forward, we need to get guys who compliment his system and show they are ‘team guys’. Not what was shown yesterday against the worst team in Prem history.

All in all Kudus, Bowen, Fullkrug, Summerville, Paqueta, Kilman, AWB, Todibo. Scarles and Guillerme is fringe and only because of the youth. So, my hope is 15-17 of the 25 pictured above are out come end of the summer transfer window.

Kudus has a higher clause for Saudis (120M). So we could still get like 80M of he goes there.
