Summer 2017 Transfer Speculation

Re:Rooney - not being selected to play for England means that he ticks the box to play for West Ham perfectly

brookingsirons

I maybe wrong but wasn't he quoted as saying he would only play for Everton if he left United ?

brookingsirons

And his age baracks ;biggrin

Click bait story

NEoldiron

I think he meant Mickey Rooney ;biggrin

If we really have to sign an older striker then it has to be Defoe. Sunderland are unlikely to stay up & it's a perfect fit. He knows where the net is & would do a good job for a couple of seasons. For me it's a no brainer.

Vorselaarhammer

We should not be signing players that can't get into other PL teams.

Maybe with an one exception ;biggrin I would like to sign Kompany...

In fact maybe my rule just applies Rooney...

brookingsirons

Kompany would just keep Carroll Kompany in the treatment room ;ok

brookingsirons

Oriole Romeu ;ok

Lukerz

Should've nabbed Defoe in Jan. ;ok

brookingsirons

yep ;ok just hope carroll can manage 9 more games this season ;doh

IronHerb

Defoe wasn't for sale

Lukerz

Nor was Payet

brookingsirons

;lol nice one , not at any price I think was first said , but we all know he couldn't
have stayed after refusing to play .

IronHerb

He was, we sold him.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Defoe didn't refuse to play

He could've handed in a transfer request but he didn't

brookingsirons

Top man pitty they haven't another 10 like him at sunderland

baracks_a_hammer

Defoe wasn't for sale at the price the Dave's would have been offering. Had they (exaggerating for effect) offered say £20m I think there would have been every chance of him re-joining West Ham

Lukerz

There's no such thing as 'not for sale'.

If we offered Sunderland £18m, he'd be a Hammer.

He wasn't for sale at £6m, or whatever it was we offered.

IronHerb

You assume he wanted to be a Hammer.

West Ham not interested in signing Rooney . The whole story seems to be based on the fact his kid wore a West Ham shirt

grey_til_I_dye

Disaster!

Think of all those poor people who have bought their STs on the strength of that...

grey_til_I_dye

And the amount of grief poor Diddy Dave got for something that turned out to be nonsense

brookingsirons

Diddy Dave deserves it , its only a matter of time before he will show you this
Grey ;ok ;lol

brookingsirons

He's the only world class guy we have at west ham ;wink

brookingsirons

I will always blame him for putting the Diddy Dave kiss of death on
Zaza by inviting him to his house , Zaza was never the same after that day ;ok

Yeoldhammer

lol on my facebook someone put that our last 20 goal a season striker was Teddy Sherringham over 12 years ago. West Ham have gone the 3rd longest period out of all PL teams without a 20-goal striker.

baracks_a_hammer

On the plus side it means there are two sides who have had a longer wait ;hmm

ASLEFshrugged

Teddy scored 20 goals in the Championship (2004-05), Morley was last to score 20 in the top flight (1992-93)

Ah, have you been reminiscing about the good old days of Eggert Magnusson?
