    HAMMERS READY £30M SARR BID

    West Ham are ready to make a £30m bid for Watford's Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr, according to the Sun on Sunday.

    David Moyes' side are looking for a new forward after sanctioning the sale of Sebastien Haller to Ajax in a £25m deal this week, leaving Michail Antonio as their only recognised striker in the squad.

    Watford rejected a £25m Deadline Day bid from Crystal Palace for the 22-year-old, who was also linked with moves to Liverpool and Manchester United earlier in the summer.

    Do we need a winger ?
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Maybe Moyes ihas a long term plan of playing a false 9 (and 7, 10 and 11) formation!
  • alderzalderz
    Maybe the plan is to play a 4-4-2 but the 2 are wingers so we get LOADS of crosses in and hope Soucek arrives in time to get on the end of then
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    That’s a great idea alderz, wonder if moyes as though of that get soucek further up and slot noble in as a defensive midfielder, sorted

    25m dropped on Benrahama and then 30m dropped on Sarr seems the most bizarre thing i have ever seen

    Sounds like sarr,s agent putting a story out to me the last thing we need is a winger

    West Ham should have playing false strikers down to a fine art as that is the only type of striker we have had in the past 10 years.

    Linked to a few more today Moyes inbox must be full
  • yoyoyoyo
    We're linked with more strikers than Arthur Skargill

    I think Sarr played as a striker in a few games when they were on their good run under Pearson, including the win against Liverpool. Seems to me he’s a bit weak to play it in the same way as us but maybe that’s just his age and could be worked on. He’s a talent but we definitely don’t need another winger.

    If we get a striker we could switch Antonio to right wing and Bowen to left wing maybe , would give us plenty of pace

    We didn’t try that with Haller, so why would we with another striker? I would have liked to at least tried Haller and Antonio together up front before we got shot of Haller.

    It’s going to be Glen Murray isn’t it?

    Please don’t give G & S any ideas! 😬

    Arnie, King, Deeney, Sarr

    Would be well chuffed with any of them
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I’d be chuffed for none of them to be honest

    A random sports journalist has said we've started negotiations with Salzburg for Patson Daka. Twitter people say he's really good, but I'd never heard of him until yesterday.

    His agent is Freddie Kanoute, who has recently spoken very well of the club. May be an advantage, but by logic there's every chance Daka could end up at Spurs.

    OCS, if he was to go to Tottenham he would be the understanding to Harry Kane when he should go straight into our first XI.

    We may mock, but if you put aside all the other stuff that comes with him, he is many times the more suitable Prem league performer than Haller ever was. And would quite obviously suits Moyes’ way of playing.

    If we are indeed linked with him, given the owners we have, it doesn’t surprise me one bit.

    Yes, a tick in the box in our favour, certainly.

    That said, I can't see Moyes starting him over Antonio, although Antonio's fitness would mean whoever comes in would get a fair few games.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    The very thought of deeney in a West Ham shirt makes my blood boil
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Haller on the pitch 20 odd minutes and assists for the equaliser simple game this

    No just finished work or think I would have been
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Its irrelevant if he can do it for Ajax in the Dutch league, he couldn't do it for us in the Premier league.
  • alderzalderz
    Haller doing well for the best team in an average league? I am shocked
  • Cuz1Cuz1
