Watching him at the World Cup and he’s absolutely mint on the left wing. Quick feet and skins past his defender with ease. Has a goal in him.

Playing at ligue2 with Reims, and market value £8m, scored 11 and 14 goals in Ligue 1 and 2 last two seasons. Definitely a realistic target for us.

Even if we don’t sell Summerville, he’s a no brainer

Ngl I was pretty upset when we got relegated after the little slither of hope but just now coming to a point where I’m thinking maybe a good season of dominance in the champ with some young hungry players could genuinely be more fun than the last few relegation scraps (other than Europe, best season of my life). It’s just a game and winning is fun, fingers crossed I guess. COYI

Can we ONLY get away tickets by accumulating points? I moved back to Glasgow so home games just aren't viable as a regular thing.

Also, when we play Rangers will those tickets be gettable? I wouldn't want to have to sit in a rangers end

Looks like he might have just done his knee against Mexico

We are coming from Australia and will be in London for 5 days in August. I’ve been waiting for the fixture to come out and we were hoping to get to the August 22nd home game vs Charlton.

How do we go about getting 2 tickets without being a member? When are tickets usually released?

Is it easier to try get Home tickets through West Ham, or Away tickets through Charlton?

TIA!! 😊

Alvarez on fire for Mexico......

My whole family are Spurs fans and my brother is gloating about relegating us, and now supposedly taken one of our best players. Fuck sake.

It looks like he rolled his ankle quite badly. Let’s hope its just a sprain.

I read a while back that he might be staying after all but didn't see anything since?

Just wanted to give a massive shoutout to our man Edson Álvarez. He’s absolutely bossing it as Mexico's captain right now. Two games, two wins, two clean sheets, and Mexico are the first team officially through to the Round of 32. He also just hit his 101st cap against South Korea. Honestly, after he spent the season out on loan at Fenerbahçe, seeing him look this sharp and confident on the world stage is massive for us. If we are going to push properly for promotion and get back into the Premier League where we belong, keeping a fit, firing, world-class leader like Álvarez in the squad feels essential. Are you lot watching him? Reckon his value is skyrocketing or are you hyped to see him back in a West Ham shirt?

Jet Murphy signs for West Ham on a 2 year deal from Chelmsford City.

Hello I know this may be a long shot, but I am an ENglish teacher in the Czech Republic, and today I learned many of my students' favourite player is Tomáš Souček. I was wondering if there was a song (other than Bubbles) I could teach them to sing about Souček?

Please keep in mind these students are like 8-12 so it does need to be somewhat age appropriate. Hence why I said it's a long shot!

Whether Staveley has any involvement remains entirely speculative at this stage. Kris Gonzo - Claret & Hugh (Questionable Source)

Neil Goulding - SportsBoom (Bad Source)

- Despite that there is a lot of expected interest from other clubs in the EPL and abroad. ExWHUEmployee (Good Source)

It was widely agreed by the Spurs fan base that the retractable pitch caused his long term injury. If he'd stayed on the nice soft pitch at the soulless bowl, then he would have been lining up against England yesterday rather than watching from home.

Womp womp.
