I like the checked bit. Not sure about whatever that pattern is over the body, but overall I like it. It's crazy to me that it costs £75 for a shirt though. or £110 for an 'elite' shirt.
Hopefully the 15% sell on was on profit only in which case it’s about £7.2M. Can’t remember the last time we sold a player with no add ons and fee upfront and made a profit.
Our first game of the season will be Pompey at home in the Carabao Cup 3pm Sat 8 Aug

It occured to me that Mateus Fernandes wasn't the first Fernandes to play for West Ham, and now I've gone down a rabbit hole. Here are 10 pairs of West Ham players who share a surname. Which one of the pair played the most games for us? I've only included those that might require a bit of thinking - no Steve Potts vs Dan Potts here.
ALLEN: Martin vs Paul CAMARA: Henri vs Titi COLE: Carlton vs Joe FERDINAND: Anton vs Rio FERNANDES: Edimilson vs Mateus LEE: Elliot vs Rob POTTS: Dan vs Freddie ROBSON: Keith vs Stewart SONG: Alex vs Rigobert TAYLOR: Alan vs Matty
I'll check back later or tomorrow morning or something to let you know if you've aced it.
Lukerz we are playing FC Magdeburg as our last friendly. I remember going there in the ECWC away leg. It was in East Germany then and it was a fraught trip with armed guards boarding the coach at the boarder and we were throwing fruit to kids outside the coach and they were grateful for it.
Yeah this is all senior West Ham appearances - still nobody has aced it, but everyone’s pretty close.
Answers: ALLEN: Martin (232) vs Paul (197) CAMARA: Titi (14) vs Henri (10) COLE: Carlton (293) vs Joe (187) FERDINAND: Anton (163) vs Rio (158) FERNANDES: Edimilson (48) vs Mateus (38) LEE: Rob (19) vs Elliot (7) POTTS: Freddie (27) vs Dan (13) ROBSON: Keith (89) vs Stewart (84) SONG: Alex (46) vs Rigobert (27) TAYLOR: Alan (124) vs Matty (90)
