Transfer thread

West Ham have agreed a deal in excess of £40m to sign Southampton midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

The 21-year-old has been granted permission to travel for a medical in London.

Fernandes would become West Ham's third-biggest signing, behind Sebastien Haller (£45m) and Lucas Paqueta (£51m).

The move will be a boost for under-pressure Hammers manager Graham Potter, whose side have lost their first three matches of the season in all competitions.

Southampton look set to make a substantial profit on the £15m they paid to sign Fernandes from Sporting last summer.

The Portugal Under-21 international has played 46 times for Saints, scoring four goals and providing seven assists.

West Ham are also close to completing the signing of Monaco midfielder Soungoutou Magassa, 21, for a fee of about £17.3m. The France Under-21 international is expected to have a medical on Thursday.

Possible but highly unlikely. We had a slow decline over the last year and a half. But mainly because the top 5 are so much stronger now than 2 years ago, I’m including Chelsea in there.

I just don’t think that’s our fight this year. Our fight should be to get back into Europe, so around 7th.

Ok you are including chelsea. Take it city, arse, liv. Who else?

Basically we are competing with villa and Saudi Sportswashing Machine. How much have they strengthened?
 
According to Dutch and German media, Leipzig has now confirmed that he is in talks with another club. The Germans suggest that he is speaking to both Chelsea and us, the Dutch media say that he is likely to move to us because Chelsea have other priorities.

For what it's worth. It does mean that he will leave Leipzig.

Between bots and the press engagement farming its ridiculous. Grown men though believing it on twitter and having meltdowns is paying a fortune on blue tick revenue though, thats why they do it.

I have said it before my mate who works for Matchroom, ex Mirror said 100% Spurs are easy bait for non stories to rile, influence and farm.........the press have a field day on it and love manipulating things, its a power thing.

People need to engage their brains on reality like they would anything else

We have a squad that can finish in the top half. We’ll be fighting with Villa, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Brighton and Forest for the 5th-10th spots. I think Brighton and Forest will finish bottom of that mini league.

On your point about strengthening, we’ve strengthened more than them, but we’re coming from a lower base and we haven’t been settled as a team for a while. Frank will bring that this season.
