Leppers of football?

Submitted by Enfieldhammer on Sun, 28/07/2024 - 20:58

Reading several sites and news outlets. A lot of potential targets are not interested in coming to West Ham. I know we no longer have the lure of European football but these linked players want to play in Serie A?
For me. Italian football is crap. Maybe these players are being honest and think the standard of the Premier League is too much for them. Or they know that West Ham is run by a clown.

You know it i know it well lets face it everybody knows it...the no European football smokescreen is just that and it did not stop the Spuds from getting into Europe did it? or finding players...Van de Veen for one now that is some player yet how with no European football did they attract him?.

It's the shabby unprofessional way we go about doing business that makes players think mmm do i really want to go there if they are run like that the whole place must be as well.

Sullivan likes a big name signing one he can puff his little chest out and say look what i've done and thinks that's enough...but when you think he gave Moyes last say on any and all transfers then got Steiden in then when that went wrong decided to create a transfer Cabal that again failed because he stupidly gave Moyes in his contract the ability to say no to all players unless he and he alone wanted them well it is a recipe for disaster and proved to be so.

So now Tims the man he is the one to work his magic he finds players that we need and we have a manager who accepts the role he has been given but that does not stop the Dwarf from lowballing offers and refusing to deal with any agents unless it's his favourites and we all know who they are......so the scattergun comes out with names we all know are never coming to us European football or not and Sullivan hopes this will keep the fans off his back short term.

West Ham to be run along the lines of the Red bull model they say well more like the bullshit model as it has always been....

Have to agree. None of this is looking good for us fans. I seriously think El Loppo must be wondering what he's signed up to?

At this point we'll end up singing no-one likes us. Now I know I've heard that somewhere before........!!!

Oi big boy, what's your name?

Can see Steiden losing the Pearl diver title and be known as Temu Tim. I do understand Sullivan not willing to pay Agents astronomical fees & if all clubs got together and decided not to pay these leaches football would be better for it.
However. I don't want to see us with players not good enough for their current team but deemed good enough for us as they're a cheap alternative. Things need to happen & quick or we will be in for a long winter again.

Its just crap coming through the media orchestrated by the Poisoned Dwarf.

We were linked with Jake O'Brien who chose debt ridden relegation contenders Everton for a lowly £16.4m.... Euro football didn't worry him!,

I think Tim The Peal Diver has run out of ideas. now looking at a 31 year old, Niclas Fullkrug, big striker playing in German... remind you of anyone? Yes, that was the Moyes days.

If J Lo doesn't get his players in, and I don't see the PD stepping up, I see us struggling with commentators referring to Moyes saying "You got what you wished for West Ham Fans"

Yes Dartford,reckon the pundits are writing their scripts now,of which starts "I told you so" We are going to limp into this season,struggle in the middle part,and scrape ourselves just free of relegation........The humble pie is there to be eaten.

This sudden switch to Fullkrug seems desperate to me. Maybe one half decent season in him for us. Looked impressive for Germany. But he's 31 for Christ sake and not the brief we are after. As Dartford says, Moyeseque of shit gone by...!!

Mind you, so is Ings. Thing is, if he's cheap enough and lasts a full season with goals then he could be worth it as a stop gap. Personally, I push the boat out on Duran if that's who he wants. Then again, this could all be a smokescreen to unnerve Villa.
I dunno why I'm posting this. Always said I wouldn't comment until anything official is on the OS

Problem with West Ham is they'll sign him to a 4y deal on OTT money then after 1 season he'll turn into Benni McCarthy and we'll be shit again
