lcfc_forever Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 Can't see there is much, if any, truth in this rumour: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9864477/Which-players-Premier-League-club-targeting-transfer-window-slams-shut.html Also mentions Tarkowski, but adds that Edouard is seen as a potential successor to Vardy when we've already signed Daka.

Carl the Llama Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 Is it really a Diop? I don't trust people who talk like Jar Jar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 No chance. West Ham aren't selling players like that for fair prices to us with 2 years still on their contract. Tarkowski with 1 year left is much more possible. I do wonder whether Burnley think keeping him gives them a better chance of staying in the league though, which makes a potential £20m fee not really worth it.

Jaspa Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 West Ham contract up 2023, with option of a further year. Spent the first half of last season on the bench for whatever reason but finished playing practically every game. So unless they want Diop bopped off I can't see it happening, especially as they're a rival to us; at least in their mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 They have terrible depth as is, doubt they'll get rid of a decent cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 He'd be a very good signing but seems like a non starter this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 It’s a weird link to make up if there is nothing in it. Can’t see him going though, they’re already short and looking another CB, somewhat like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Fannieri Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Truth is we will have a list of potential replacements for Evans, Fofana and Soyuncu, it is highly likely expectation would be that one or two may require replacing next summer and therefore the list of targets being reviewed currently are 12 months earlier than anticipated especially given the unexpected injury to Wes. In reality we don’t know the severity of the Evans injury and whether this is is going to severely restrict game time moving forward. I expect we are currently looking at both Evans and Fofana replacements with a view to bringing at least one in a year ahead of schedule, hence why players like Diop appear even though he has a couple to 3 years left on his contract. personally I think it will end up being Vestergard and/or Richards depending on how bad or risky Evans injury really is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Amartey was very good yesterday but history shows us he can't be trusted long term. We have three top drawer CB's but Fofana is written off for the foreseeable future and Evans might not be trusted to be fit long term when he's back. Tarkowski seems one to target next season on a free and with Kabak going Sevilla maybe a cheap option in Cahill or Richards on loan seems an obvious move. Not a position we want to be spending £20m+ on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LestaLad Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 After watching Lupin, i’d love a player called Diop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
