Bowen as been omitted from the West Ham squad after training all week, very interesting.

31 Jul 2021 15:09:01
Due to injury.

31 Jul 2021 15:10:02
I think he would be a top signing as well.

31 Jul 2021 15:16:39
Monkey is that not the excuse all the time.

31 Jul 2021 15:18:18
Could be anything, OP. Wouldn’t pay too much attention to it.

31 Jul 2021 15:26:34
He is a perfect shaqiri replacement, I have liked him since his Hull days he is a typical klopp signing due to his workrate, tracking back and a menace going forward.

31 Jul 2021 15:42:25
Agree Hailstones.

31 Jul 2021 15:55:22
Same agent as Trent and Robbo. Any bearing on transfers?

31 Jul 2021 16:46:30
Gordon can replace Shaquiri.

31 Jul 2021 17:17:22
IMO, we can do a lot better than Bowen who will be very expensive for a backup cos he is English and WH don’t need to sell. Seems a desperate attempt to overpay just to someone in. We’ll wait and see.

31 Jul 2021 17:25:28
To be fair he scores goals, he is a very good finisher and we do lack that. If Bowen is around £30m it’s a good signing.

31 Jul 2021 17:32:19
Bowen would be a waste of money. Id rather give young Gordon a shot if Bowen is the best we can do this summer.

31 Jul 2021 17:45:15
"We need a signing, anyone" followed by "no not that one".

31 Jul 2021 18:10:30
If it was the choice between Bowen and Traore, then it would be Bowen all day long.

{Ed0666's Note - they’re both poor choices

31 Jul 2021 18:21:51
Bowen is actually pretty good and I think he is someone tha the LFC coaches could improve.

Bowen has the potential to go up to top 4 level I think.

31 Jul 2021 18:55:41
Ed0666, personally I think we should have a look at Domenico Berrardi, he’s been scoring a decent amount of goals at the top level for years, is a very versatile forward and he works hard for the team, plus he’d not cost much more than the others we’ve looked at.

{Ed0666's Note - I think David at Lille would be ideal for us. Can play anywhere across the front, pacy, can score a goal and would be a great addition.

31 Jul 2021 20:13:16
Knowing Lille they’d be asking Victor Osimhen/ Nicolas Pepe money for him, which is a lot for a forward from the French league.

31 Jul 2021 20:26:20
If we can't afford Raphinha or someone of his calibre then we should stick with what we have. Signing for the sake of signing will clog up the squad and Traore or Bowen would likely be "surplus to requirements" in two years time again.

31 Jul 2021 20:42:23
100% Sean but what about the whingers that want a shiny new toy to look at?

31 Jul 2021 21:36:21
Shiny new toy or just necessary reinforcements? Or do you naively think Harvey Elliot will be Messi next season?

31 Jul 2021 23:13:59
Ask the German fella that's paid to make them decisions. You know the German fella that has forgotten more than you'll ever know about football. Not my job on the line if it doesn't work out for him is it?

01 Aug 2021 02:53:09
Bowen might be an option as West Ham take Clearpay.

01 Aug 2021 17:22:03
@IPC12 another silly post - so based on your post you think Bowen or Adama Traore would be as good as Messi next season do you?
