Sky Sports is reporting that West Ham have tabled a bid for Lyons striker Freddie Piquionne. My heart sinks. This is a player who is very good at putting himself about but not so good at putting the ball in the net. While at Portsmouth he managed to score 5 goals in 34 appearances. His record at other clubs is similar. He is also no spring chicken at the age of 31.
I thought the main priority was to make our strike force more prolific. So far we have got rid of two players, Franco and Ilan, who both had reasonable goal to game records. If we can get him for £1 million I suppose he would have something to offer from the bench. But that’s about all.
I am very despondent at this news. Surely we’ve got to be aiming to sign better players than this?
I don't want to scare anyone and this IS ONLY HEARSAY! It could well be NOTHING!
But…….My wife came home tonight and said she overheard someone in Lakeside talking about how they heard on the radio this afternoon that PAUL INCE is a shock new contender for our management job!!!
Please, for the love of all that's good, NO!
Mate read the Daily Mail article,David Sullivan confirms that Avram is the Boss and covers a lot of stuff about 50 players on the radar and hopes to get 4 or 5 and Boa has been offered a new deal,must read,fascinating stuff!
Interesting line in an article (the rest of the article was a load of tosh about signing Beckham) lol – but this part was honest I guess
"[Joe] Cole, out of contract at Chelsea, has so far rejected West Ham’s overtures. ‘We’ve asked Joe to name a price but he said no,’ said Sullivan."
