Is it correct SB says West Ham United don't need a striker. So why have Remy, Austin, Moussa Sow, Ba, Destro & numerous others been mentioned. Am I missing something.



24 Jun 2015 22:24:43
HI bbrn, I find it hard to believe another striker won't be brought in before the league starts in august, , we are just not strong enough in that area, I just cannot see Carroll Valencia and sakho getting enough goals between them, maiga and zarate, what do you think!!maybe SB thinks we can get a lot if goals from midfield, maybe, but the way he sets up play, looks to midfield all the time, that's why we need so many strong midfielders, and a play maker as well, regards IRONMIKE

Zarate is good enough, I just think Sam wouldn't play him as he was Sulleys signing and Sam said he didn't want him. As for Maiga, none of us have seen enough of him to completely rule him out, our first season back he did do a few good jobs

HI fellas, it seems everybody. Wants to have a say about michu, this guy absolutely fantastic awhile back is shot to peices, he has ankle problems, knee swelling problems,, and is said to have a nervous disorder, and now has complete lack of confidence, do wh want to take a gamble on someone like that, yes he can be got cheap certainly less than the 4 m talked about more like 1.5m, he has one year left on contract with swans, if they thought they could resurrect him, would they be so keen to offload him, they swans have given up the ghost here, DO wh think they can sort out his problems, and rediscover his prodigious talent?, where swansea and Napoli failed! Got to tread carefully here, maybe aloan if squad space allows, on the basis, that you never know, if he progresses sign him up, if he doesn't let him go at seasons end, that's my view anyway, IRONMIKE

I wouldn't have him anywhere near the dressing room, there was talks of bust ups etc at Swansea and why only 3 appearances in a season at Napoli.
Would rather gamble 1.5 Mil on up and coming youngster.

HI Gerry, this guy apparently got aload of hang ups too, probably why he unsettles fellow players, I agree, if wh are going to take a punt on someone, get someone without a track record, many youngsters available! Regards IRONMIKE

HI fellas, and hornchurch hammer, while everybody woulld happily agree with you, and none more so than me that dgs have done agreat job thus far, unfortunately, there comes appoint between, promising and not delivering gets tiresome,, in business as in normal life I appealed yesterday really on behalf of all of us for dgs to talk less publicly and do it privately! and leave people like myself! to discover what's going on, all this Boleyn insider! ex west ham employee is nonsense! where are they? with great information! it's mr golds way of doing a press release, so now you know! just this week! wh! after following up on these people! have let them slip by! Kevin mirallas! thought he was coming!now it's olympiacios! yilmaz! for wh yes ok! now it's inter! ba! ok! now gone back to WBA Sunderland now in for remy, nothing from wh, after talks, do you want me to go on?? Yes you can blame some on Sam, but people like maiga and Jarvis. Have had plenty of exposure, they are not up to the job full stop zarate maybe, Nolan has got to be pushed out obrien may be kept until end of season, we are many players short, and although it's not exactly true, the fans see teams like saints, swansea, and stoke, who all finished higher than us already strengthening yes may targets still there, but sometimes, a little bit of movement, even clearing and paying off people like Nolan would keep the fans happy regards IRONMIKE

Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth



24 Jun 2015 16:51:51
Can't agree with the ex West Ham United Employee comment,he is usually right on the money or not far off it. People like you. ?



24 Jun 2015 17:18:35
Of course he's on the money mr gold would be wouldn't he!!



24 Jun 2015 09:07:40
Does 14m seem bit steep for this payet guy seem a bit steep never seen him play so can't comment on his ability his goal scoring record ain't great surely remy better option if can get him proven to have scored goals in premiership

Good Morning all

Another day on the West ham merry go round which has now seen 7 days come and go twice and now we are told "Major signing in the next 5 days".

I got to admit everybody that I have REAL MAJOR concerns over the direction we are heading, especially after BILIC has been reportedley saying he wants AC to spearhead his attack and has no further interest!!!!

Have we not learned? This guy is a walking sick note. Does our management really think this guy will get us the goals we need (20 in a season)? We also have to consider how many more games we may end up playing this season and let's face it, he can't stay fit for a normal season never mind Europe.

Whilst you all may think I'm being negative, I'm not. Its realistic to consider all options and look at the big picture.

We have been offered MICHU in a bargain basement deal (because he can't get in any other team) and we are targetting KUZMANOVIC (ON A FREE). What does this all say about us whilst STOKE, Swansea etc identify targets and go get them.
