The season just gets better and better !
West Ham are ready to make a £4.5 million bid for 31 year old Besiktas defender Domagoj Vida . Definitely fits the criteria , of being young and hungry , and even going in with a cheeky bid under his current valuation of £5.4m , we are magnificent at what we do best .
And to top it off we are supposedly along with Everton wanting to sign Athletic Bilbao 23 year old centre-back Unai Nunez , we all know how that is going to end , being as he must be valued in the £25m ball park , if not more , but a loan deal could be in the offing as they are not keen to sell him .
Or if we are to believe some of the media we are after 30 year old LB Danny Rose , what a catch he would be .
In all seriousness Danny Rose would be a huge upgrade on what we have at present. And possibly available pretty cheap which will appeal. A far more sensible target than Tarkowski imo.
And as FIFA have ordered a payment of £5.2 million to Frankfurt for the Haller deal the key word in that sentence is cheap
Not so sure he would be a huge upgrade anymore , he was poor during his time at Newcastle , averaging less than one interception per game and committing one foul per match too. Aside from his questionable defending, Rose didn’t offer much going forward, failing to pick up a single goal or assist, and registering a measly 0.3 key passes and 0.2 crosses per game.

Some rumblings linking us to Joao Mario. I'd happily have him back to be honest and would be a bit miffed if he ended up at Newcastle or Lids.
As much as I liked him last time around, we have more important priorities.

Agree with that. Good player while he was with us before but do we need another midfielder ? And if we did bring him in would it reduce the funds available for bringing in a couple of fit for purpose full backs ?

From the 'two signings this week' a couple of days ago, the Messiah has said he'd like 3 or 4 but accepts that there's no money for them.
Obviously the money earmarked for Tarkowski has been stolen.
Weve now gone down to getting one in this week, so you know what's coming.

That may be a plan to put him in MF and move Rice to CB. Moyes has mentioned it before.
