Sometimes I wish I could add images to the comments section but here is the tweet which made me publish the video: x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1823073144619548762?s=46&t=UQLY2o24s7KgC755_wQyVg Basically, Fabrizio Romano said the contract is signed and it’s all done.
because of the early bids tobido hasn't played in any pre-season games, might be a bit too soon as geo said AWB has played in all pre-season games, he should be ready to go
I could maybe see why Coufal would start on Saturday instead of AWB just cos he (AWB) will have only been there a few days, and Coufal should fear not, cos I could think of some devastating XIs run with a 3-5-2 where Emerson and Coufal are wingbacks.
I still feel Wan-Bissaka has untapped potential, so getting him at 26 years old is a steal. Speed and quality are rare commodities in a fullback that is available to teams like West Ham. He could really help in reducing the goal conceded column here. That is vital if we are to get back into Europe. Great signing!👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻
mud fans say he doesn't contribute enough going forward and dalot is the bees knees, yet truth be told all of man utds fullbacks have been poor when it comes to assists, awb had the highest assists per minute last season under moyes a lot of our attacks go through the wings/fullbacks, with lop it'll be even more and with fullkrug dominating the box i think AWB is on course for his most productive season yet
Agree with your assessment Geo. Good, solid signing. Very good defensively, okay going forward. But I’m old school that I do want my defenders to be able to defend. Also agree that any more signings are now bonus, nice to have rather than need to have Happy Hammer ⚒️
Delighted with both the signings and the relative speed with which they've been done. Deadline day is dead to me now (thank gawd). If Tim wants to make me even happier it will take Ings leaving and Duran coming in. But if it stops where it is, happy days.
Geo that was absolutely spot on,I was concerned about the saying of awb but after watching that I know that side of the defence is secure,brilliant analysis mate 👍🏻
Sam allerdyce said wan bissaka is the best full back in the league at defending but isn’t as good as others going forward. He had a good point that basically he’s been punished for being too good at the most important bit of his job. The expectancy on full backs to be able to pass like beckham makes others who aren’t as good at defending but better going forward get ahead of him. Anyway a great signing for us for pittance
Good news, finally AWB and his contracted agreement has been fulfilled by MU. You would have hoped under the guidance of Dan Ashworth and Sir Jim Ratcliffe these financial problems would have been resolved sooner. AWB will improve our defence and although Coufal has a better record when getting forward, his defensive ability is far more important.
It's been a drag as expected dealing with Man U but I am very happy with this signing. Good price and AWB is at a good age still as well. Whilst he is lacking when it comes to going forward our main weakness is our defence and he will be a massive upgrade defensively.
Geo - What a squad we have 👍now the coach must gel & drill these players into a winning formula, we are going to be entertaining, an exciting team going forward and hopefully a much improved pleasure to watch, can’t wait for the season to start, COYI ⚒⚒⚒
For me this is one of the BESt signings we've made. Geo is right to talk of the one-on-ones. In particular against the very best or most trick wingers like Doku from Man City, last season I remember how easily he destroyed Coufal in both games, and then I remember watching the FA CUP final and not once did Doku get significantly the better of Bissaka, which says it all. Too many times Coufal gets done too easily by basic winger skills, so I think Bissaka will hugely improve us at the back.
Ha, can I join this exclusive club?! I've always rated McT too. Not a "top top" player but very good and seems to have a good mentality in that he comes off the bench and changes games and fights his way back into the team after being dropped for a newer signing.
I think Man U tried very hard to demonise Wan Bissaka for asking what he was entitled to. He was loyal, didn’t ask for a transfer, and they wanted him out. They were the ones being disloyal to the player. Fair play to him because he could have seen out the final year of his contract and had a big payday. Instead, he's shown ambition to join a very competitive squad, and that’s a thumbs-up from me.
Just want to say as a man united fan that I think awb is a great defender and youll love him over there. Best 1 v 1 defender in world football, and very underrated on the ball as his link up play and dribbling is actually effective. His weakness is when he has to put his foot through the ball, he is a poor crosser, long passer and finisher. Im gonna miss him, he is better than dalot.
I love this signing, I think he is hard done by about going forward as man utd never get players in the box for him to cross too, ans there movement isn't great, with both wingers liking the ball to feet so they can cut inside to shoot. Think we have done well in the transfer window waiting till the end to sell otherwise clubs know we have money, but can see a couple leaving very soon, I think him and Kudus on the right could link up very well
I am starting to believe, with the interest in Joe Gomez for that short window. They want a right sided defender. Not necessarily a right back. I could see AWB playing as a right sided centre's back in a 3. Kind of like Walkwr for England
Great news Geo, just need another striker imho as Fulkrug and Antonio aint enough to see u through a full season regards to possible bookings or injuries. Who's it going to be ?
@@HammersChat Who would be your favoured one out of those 3 Geo ? I am kinda split between Abraham and Duran if pushed I would probably go for Abraham as I think we need a striker that will hit the ground running, albeit Abraham will cost a lot of money depending how longs left on his contract and if he wants to come bk to London. He's certainly got the better goals ratio of the 3, Samu I think is still learning his trade and we all know about Duran.
After Füllkrug i personally think another striker is not needed. Why im i saying that? Because Kudus,Bowen amd Summerville are good goalscorers. As for zhe scoring department i have no worries at all
@@artsmodeldockyard8718 probably none of them tbh. Abraham concerns me with his injuries, Duran I think could be a superstar perhaps but think he could proper kick off too and don’t know enough about Samu but I’d happily go with what we have unless we can find a ‘punt’ that wouldn’t mind limited game time. Look to replace Antonio substantially next summer instead
Geo along with Todibo and Kilman im over the moon with this one !!! Honestly i couldnt care to much about crosses , he gives us what Coufal couldn't and that's defend first ....... i just couldn't bare another season watching Coufal . welcome AWB COYI .
Thought I'd support the channel by buying the Manscaped stuff. Holy crap it's expensive (and already offered at 20% off on the website). I did spend a couple of hundred bucks on a few products though and made sure I overwrote the default 20% off code with the Hammer Chat one. I'm hoping my ballsack will be thanking you lol!
Steven you didn’t have to do that, its only if people genuinely want their products. It is genuinely good though, can only promise you that we only promote stuff we use ourselves
Ferdi would’ve been better.. more versatile and brilliant going forward and can play on the left… plus we could have swapped Soucek too. That said, pleased with AWB.
With three homegrown squad players gone in 12 months we should be raiding Chelsea Broja and Chalo on loan with options could prove to be some real pearl diving, sounds like we could get both for ~30m in fees and they'd cover Ings, mickey and cress Both are good enough to grow into the first team
defensively strong on right side with AWB ....think our opponents will be driving down the left side which with Emerson/Cresswell is now our weakest position
COYI - The Steidten transformation is almost complete. There was no dithering, wiley patience & astute pricing. J-Lo ruthless will eliminate non-performers by the window's end, but definitely in the January transfer window. Barring injury, this is a top-eight finishing team. We fans need a modicum of patience as Team J-Lo moulds the team & the team norms, forms & then performs.
This is all just opinion, by the way. I think AWB is top, top drawer. I haven't got a negative to say about him. He's my favorite RB in the world, if i'm honest. Plenty of people have called him the best one on one defender in the world and he's underrated going forward. If I was Man U manager, he'd start over Dalot.
Call me greedy but id love to see Steidten be an opportunist now and go for omorodian seeing as his deal to chelsea is definitely off and atletico have already signed his replacement in alvarez and need him off the book. Release ings bring in omorodian loan to buy even.
AWS has taken the no 29 shirt ... poor Andy Irving he had that no shirt for 3 days only thats what happens when the club does not officially announce you as a hammer 😂
Hopefully he AWB can now see wat its like to be in a club full of bruddas instead of mediocre players who have believed their own hype and think they are Superstars!👍
Offensively going forward he doesn't really offer much which surprises me considering how speedy and strong he is? but defensively arguably the best fullback in the league possibly world football? He'll shut down the top left wingers and give the opposition fits should they try anything down that flank. COYI ⚒️

This is huge
Going to take a couple of months, for all these new players to gel, hope the manger takes the cups seriously i think thats our best bet this season
A little surprised this signing is done, hopefully will be a shrewd signing. We are linked to a young defender at Nantes as well called Zeze.
