Seems a lot of money for a 30 year old. Perhaps we need to ask more for Stockley.

    Decent signing for them….they lack decent strikers & he should help ensure they are not in a relegation battle come the end of the season.

    The window is definitely starting to get going now…

    - Ings to West Ham
    - Trossard to Arsenal
    - Edun to Charlton

    It’s all happening!

    i think Villa paid £25m for Ings in 2021…so West Ham getting him for 50% cheaper 15 months down the line isn’t a bad deal.

    But is he only 50% of the player that Villa signed?

    12m these days just about gets you a strikers left toe, so i think it's decent business for a striker who with the right service will get you 10-12 goals a season.

    West Ham’s inability to finish chances is seriously endangering them.  They create enough but are dreadful in front of goal so zings could make the difference if he can stay fit. Which he can’t

    A decent buy for West Ham on paper

    Ings is one of those players earned moves to "bigger" PL clubs after doing well at "smaller" ones, then struggled. He would have been better off staying at Soton.

    always been a goal scorer but does little else .. Moyes must be banking on him to score a few to get the Hammers out of the mess they are in

    Ask his Bank Manager that!

    Burnley -> Villa -> West Ham.

    Ings is definitely fond of claret and blue!

    West Ham are a fairly big established Premier League club.
    Leicester similar and also won the whole thing a few years back.
    In terms of spending power it's frightening how far they are away from the even bigger boys in the league.

    Heard a West Ham ex pro on Talksport this morning who said the opposite. Not creating enough chances is the issue he said.

    And fond of many hefty signing-on fees.

    West Ham is owned by fairly rich British businessmen, Leicester by a wealthy Thai family that makes its money from duty free airport shops which made no money during the pandemic .. neither can come close to clubs with the spending power of  Arab nation rulers or American billionaire owners

    So for our £300k, or even freebies, we can't really expect more than bogeys, or sick notes. .

    West Ham also have a Czech billionaire who owns 27% and is thought to have an option to buy the rest of the club in around the next 12 months.

    They’ll lose Rice in the summer for good money, but if they stay up and the Czech part owner takes a higher stake, they’ll be extremely rich.

    Be great if West Ham and Everton go down.  Fat Frank at Everton is drowning.  He’ll get a job at Palace or somewhere like that next, then a Championship club pushing for promotion, but by 2026 he’ll be an MP in a Tory stronghold.  That’s his trajectory, nailed on
