[Albion] Javier Hernandez

[Napier]

a goal against Palace, so that hardly counts.

quote of the day for me. Superb.

 

[LamieRobertson]

And can play up front on his own

But not necessarily successfully

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Penalty-area predator. The difficulty is that we get the ball into the box less often than any other team in the division.

When I find myself in times of trouble Chicharito scores for me, Javier Hernandez, Little P

(To the tune of Let it Be)

Is that a crodonilson original? Cos that is impressive

Tend to disagree with that. Stats might say differently, but the Utd game in particular Knockaert and March got the by line numerous times but Murray couldn't quite get on the end. Someone with a yard of pace would have done.

This.

Hernandez has been a failure when required to play up front on his own. He is not the type of striker we currently need.

Ings or Solankie on loan from Liverpool?

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

How the hell is someone like Hernandez going to fit into our system? Stupid rumour, no way in hell we'll buy him and I'd be pretty disappointed if we did

And Burnley home. Murray are Hemed have done okay, but pace is neither’s strong point.

A £120k per week striker well past his best? I wouldn't be surprised to hear that plucky little Bournemouth have already agreed a deal.


I'm with Moyes, by the way - he's worth nothing like that. Good enough to lead the line at a bottom 13 Premier League club, certainly - just not at that price. Not good enough to justify that chunk of the playing budget.

 

[Seasidesage]

28 goals for Leverkusen in 54 appearances last season says he would be comfortably good enough for us.




£130k a week wages says we won't be in for him.

 

[SAC]

Not worth £130k a week, half that at most. And, only if he agreed to have his surname on the back of his shirt not his nickname.

 

[Deadly Danson]

I would hope that it's a long time before we pay anyone £130k a week and if that means relegation then so be it.

 

[JimmyJayUK]

I think we can afford his wages, however I am pretty sure Dunk, Duffy and maybe Stephens all have a clause that they receive a pay rise if someone is brought in on a higher salary.

As a result of this it would cost us an absolute fortune to sign Hernandez on his current wages.

This is all speculation mind, I just find it strange that Dunk and Duffy signed another deal within weeks of the previous contracts following the arrival of a new recruit... or it may of been when Stephens got his new deal Dunk and Duffy got a pay rise to match.

Can't play up top on his own are my initial thoughts before thinking that he earns at least twice out top earner... its a no thanks from me

Yes agreed. As good as he is it’s not someone that would remotely suit how we play.

 

[Ernest]

Rather SING Andy Carroll then that pipsqueak

 

[Pavilionaire]

At 29 Hernandez has done it all, made his fortune and is a legend in Mexico, so it's really a case of what does he want to do.

I think he'd be a super player to have - great anticipation, good finisher, intelligent so should have a long career, but as has been stated the wages would be a problem.

West Ham was the wrong career option for him as they never had the creative players to supply him. I could see him going to Spurs / Chelsea as a bench player, or back to Spain for someone like Sevilla or Valencia.

 

[West Upper Seagull]

I think he has looked poor this season and from the number of times i’ve watched him on tv (plus when we played them) he has been embarrassing at diving and going to ground far too easily with the slightest contact. So on that basis he’s not worth the wages so it’s a no from me.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

No. Javier Hernandez is excellent at what he does, but what he does does not suit our style in any way, shape or form. And at that money and with his age, I just do not see it happening at all.
