People turning their nose up at the thought of McNeil signing are going to have a shock if we do go up.
we will hear the reaction in Jan. i’m hearing the loan is a done deal
People turning noses up at signing McNeil are deluded and embarrassing, only have to look at his numbers from last season in 20 games. He’d be a fantastic player for us
McNeil would be the ideal signing , excellent at this level. If we added Dan Neil & Manneh we would have real strength and depth across the midfield and attack. Really hope that we could shift out a left back or 2 to bring in proper competition/ cover for JDS. If he gets injured we would be in bother
If we had a window of
Neil - perm
Hughes - perm
McNeil - 6 month loan
A winger either perm or loan
would be perfect and ambitious as we should be with what’s at stake, will still have bedwetters on here saying we’ll go bankrupt mind
It’s time we start acting like a prem club and spending big in Jan to get us to the promised land

McNeil would be an unreal signing, can play both wings and AM, a 20 million pounds player an some people don't want him 
.
Dan Neil, Dwight McNeil, Cirkin (move Bidwell on and loan Brau) and that would be a quality window, this Manneh deal I don't think will happen from some of the reports regarding his agent.

Have said a few times about Cirkin, quality at this level and would give us really good cover/competition for JDS
We ARE after Phil Neal, because he is in the past.
He's a quality player for sure, I remember that goal he scored against us at their place last year.
If we got those 3 in then we're in for a really good second half of the season, I wouldn't see anyone catching us mate.
The only way a LB comes in is if with Bidders of Brau move - not really sure is priority.
x2 wide players/ideally can play 10 role also and midfielder I think.
More than 3 it starts to become a bigger integration job, which we dont want. Part of the success has been the tight group all with clear rolls.

Genuinely curious as to how you have heard this given we can’t get a peep of team news these days?
Remember when the experts on here turned their noses up at the thought of signing Calvert-Lewin? Scored in four premier league games on the bounce for Leeds.
Sorry if posted elsewhere, but from West Ham forum:
Ex transfers update:
Nuno is pushing for domestic experience top target Haji Wright we value around 20m Brady starting negotiatins (not sure they will sell), Josh Sargeant second choice and also looking at Ellis Sims.
Nuno pushing hard for Traore he is desperate for him
other positions unlikely

No one, I’d rather not spend on a 5th CB when there’s other positions more in need, 2 wingers and a CM would be fine
Nobody will pay 20 million for haji and we won’t be selling him in January
I don't think there's much chance we sell anyone at this stage, even for silly money.
The potential windfall we'd have coming eclipses anything we get from an inflated transfer fee. Why upset anything?

I'm sure Doug would put it to Lampard do you want the money of Haji? I suspect he'd rather just keep him with things ticking along as they are.
We can't sell otherwise it distrups the season, the squad is tight knit plus our ambition is to get promoted you don't sell in the middle of a promotion season simple, they can have Sargent
I think for £25mill+ they would have to consider it! Also the player would maybe make noise about moving!
we wouldn’t really want to sell in an ideal world but sometimes there’s a deal you just can’t turn down!

Nothing is certain, but if we don't go up there's going to be a firesale anyway.
Wright, MvE for certain, Rudoni probably. There will be buyers for these players.
Therefore, do you gamble? Forego larger fees now for the possibility of a massive windfall at the end of the season, and potentially, seasons to come?
We probably won't have this chance again. It would be insane not to gamble. Sometimes, you have to.
Massive not for sale on any of our best players in jan
Can't see it being true. But let's say it is and we turn down money that could bring in a few quality players then he picks up another injury that has him out for 7 to 8 weeks.
3 quality players in and keep hold of the main assets and Jan will be a successful window.
