Difficult 1st year at West Ham, gets used to English football kicks on in the 2nd? We have to think outside the box where strikers are concerned because we won't be able to afford the best. Not sure if this is too far outside of the box for them to shoot though...

Going against the grain here, but I think he showed a lot of promise in the last few games he played. He didn't start enough games to become fully accustomed with the Premier League and I think if a team gave him that he'd be a very good player.
That being said, the ship has sailed

How much do you want a bet? If we were serious contenders about him last year then why not now? We won't be getting Abrahams, Defoe or The likes of Sturridge any time soon! Wells could be off as well as Gray but we are not mentioned with either of those.Going against the grain here, but I think he showed a lot of promise in the last few games he played.

I'm conflicted about this one. Didn't do much at West Ham for sure, but a couple of things do go in his favour.
1. First season in English football.
2. Didn't ever seem to get a run at West Ham appearances were fleeting, out of position and in teams without Carroll or anyone who could take the physical pressure off him.
Against, did next to nothing and looked lost most of the time. We must've seen something in the guy though to have chased as hard as we did? Assuming, we were still interested and that is a big assumption. I would expect any fee and any wage demands to have declined substantially. I'd certainly rather see Calleri than say Fraser Campbell or some other serial PL failure, at least there is a possibility he might improve...
That said I'd still rather see someone completely different brought in.

Only if we sign Bolanis too. We need to rekindle their partnership otherwise they're lost without each other.

Did we, I don't remember seeing any evidence that the club were chasing him at all?
Quite happy to be corrected.

About a 1000 pages on NSC says we did lol. In reality who knows? But we were certainly linked in a number of places over a considerable period of time. I think the balance of probability is that we did have discussions at least.

This is one of those annoying posts, sorry, but you'll just have to believe me. I can't say how I know but, yes, we did. After initial reluctance, there was some interest once he found out more about the club.

Interesting thanks. I doubt there is any interest now but you do wonder if he played in a different team with a CF whether he could've made an impact with us.

Well why don't we debate that over the next few hundred pages sage?
