Can't say I am happy about paying 24million for Arnautovic, a so called striker that has scored just 7 goals in 35 games. On average that works out at 1 goal every 5 matches. ;doh
He's not a striker though, is he? He's a winger. He's not even a striker/winger, he's just a winger.
If that is the case why did we pay all that money when it was more important to get a striker in. We needed to get two strikers first. Anything after that would be a bonus.
It also advises focus on 'attackers' not 'strikers'. Many appeared to agree that creativity has been lacking, strikers do not opportunities created before they can put them away ...
Just because Dave has said that we're targetting two signings doesnt mean it will only be two. If he said 4 and we only managed to sign two people would be disappointed
If we manage to move players on (Sakho, Snoddy etc) then we may have the funds and spare wages to go for Gray or someone else.
But if we get the little pea we will have 3 strikers, 2 youth strikers and Ayew who can play up top all sitting on the wage bill and not able to play at the same time.

He did say 'solely' though.
I suppose it could be 'solely concentrating on' rather than concentrating on 'solely two attackers' ;hmm
West Ham are expected to sign Javier Hernandez "in a matter of days", according to Sky sources.
The former Manchester United striker, who almost joined the Hammers when he left Old Trafford two years ago, has a £13m release clause in his Bayer Leverkusen contract.
Sky Sports News understands the Mexico international wants to return to the Premier League.
If completed, Hernandez’s first league outing for his new club would be against United at Old Trafford on August 13, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
Hernandez is the kind of player who better teams than us might come in for last minute. He'd score goals for any top side, IMO, even if he was an impact sub.
I'm really desperate for that transfer to happen ASAP, as I think he'll be a big signing for us.
Clever business if these other 2 deals come off with plenty of cash left in the bank if a real top class player becomes available at the end of August I think we will go in for another striker if this was the case .
Brookings ;ok There's still a chance we could go on for Bats on loan if, for arguments sake, Chelsea followed up their interest and got Aguero. If ( ;pray ) we do get Hernandez, then it takes the pressure off a bit.
Hart, Zaba, Arnie and Hernandez would represent great business and it would address out biggest areas of weakness, and then we can see what develops later on in the window and maybe capitalise on something because we want to rather than needing to.
Sully got it wrong last year not just the signings many stupid statements on sky about world class strikers we was trying to sign , up to now has been the total opposite maybe to much the other way but I for one will be happy with the business if we get the other two and maybe one big surprise before the window shuts .

“We are concentrating solely now on signing two attackers, then we will be satisfied,” the Joint-Chairman confirmed.

We need another striker on top of Hernandez and move on Sakho....

I assume one of the GK will now leave, I wonder which.
Would hope we keep Adrian but maybe Randolph is the better back up keep in terms of squad harmony.
They aren't pitching him as anything at all.
However, Sullivan talks about two 'attackers', and Arnautovic is an attacking player.
But if we get the little pea we will have 3 strikers, 2 youth strikers and Ayew who can play up top all sitting on the wage bill and not able to play at the same time.

Balde Keita has been left out of Lazio's squad for their friendly today. @DiMarzio says Inter Milan are NOT close to signing him.

Don't go to bed ;wahoo
Potentially because we've signed him??? ;pray
