Looks like Public School Boy might be right?

Surely we're a better bet than Leeds and Warnock?

So you know the thread already exists, and you didn't think maybe this was already posted there?

Do you follow west ham news on twitter, or perhaps did you see it retweeted by north stand chat - another indication it might already be covered here?

 

[fly high]

sorry but no thanks.

 

[Rugrat]

Of course we are, so he should go to Leeds, he will do well there

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Leeds can have him, although it leaves us with 10 days left to sign a striker.

 

[brightonmark1234]

he will go to Leeds

There is a little difference between rumour "from my m8's m8" and something being confirmed??

 

[blue2]

I think he would be good signing why are people not keen?

Don't do it Gus!

He blows very hot and cold, mainly cold. I've probably seen him in 10 games or so for West Ham and he has looked effective in 2 of them. Can be very lazy, poor first touch and his one main strength (in the air) was usually negated by the fact that as a lone striker he had no one to flick on for (as would be the case at BHA).

Leave well alone.

We really do seem desperate now don't we? Hopefully he is being looked at as an "on the bench option", rather than the person to get the goals to lead us to the promised land. I have seen us linked to other, smaller, and more prolific strikers as well, I would be happy if it was part of a general upgrade of our attack. If we end up with him and or CMS up front, where are the goals supposed to come from?

 

[ees complicated no?]

Because he's shit.

I'd go as far as saying I'd rather us signed Mr Barndoor

So what is CMS here to do?

Sounds a plan!

 

[SEAGULLS TILL I DIE]

he might be going to wolves

Quick Quick!!!!! You better go and tell Gus and the coaching staff of your revelation about the ability of the player.

Thank GOD we have someone who has a better knowledge of football than Gus and can stop him from making this TERRBILE error....

 

[Frutos]

Leeds can have him so far as I'm concerned.

Would be underwhelmed if anything, of course id eat my words if he did well. Fairly sure the last few clubs he has played for (including loans) have all been relegated too.

 

[shaolinpunk]

He's rubbish, but maybe Gus can bring the best out of him and he is the partner to link with CMS and they'll fire us up the league. Can't see it myself but who knows?

Whatever happens, if he does join us he'll have my full support from the moment he pulls on the blue and white stripes.

Until then, moan moan moan
