Has Bento ever played as a Centre Half as that is what is needed most urgently?

West Ham make approach for Al Nassr goalkeeper Bento
Latest from Sky Sports News' Chris Reidy:
West Ham have approached Al Nassr about signing Brazil goalkeeper Bento.
The Hammers would like to sign him on loan with an option to buy, but talks are yet to progress.
Bento is a 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Al Nassr from Athletico Paranaense in the summer of 2024.
He has made six appearances for Brazil.
West Ham are continuing their efforts to improve the squad for head coach Nuno Espirito Santo after landing two strikers: Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe.
The relegation-threatened club also remain keen to sign Adama Traore from Fulham.

"Exclusive: Callum Wilson’s West Ham contract terminated"
https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-callum-wilsons-west-ham-contract-terminated/

So sad. He had passed his prime but was still decent. He didn't get a lot of opportunities and played in a very poor team. A Club in turmoil.

I think he’s contributed more than quite a lot of others, even with limited playtime.

@Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes , thanks, All I wanted to know was yeh, which part was he saying “it’s a bit premature to’? If you’re correct, I said the other day, it’s a mistake to let him go, but I don’t blame Wilson, he hardly got a chance and when he did, he found the net a few times, so IF that’s what Slacker is referring to, then I agree….👍🏻⚒️

None of the above, just that I think releasing Wilson now seems a bit premature.
Got it now?👍

So glad I could help you out on that one.

Or it could be that the article on football insider was a premature announcement when it may not yet have been confirmed.

Lukerz · January 6

Never believe anything Football Insider says. It is the worst.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years · January 6

If we release Wilson (which seems likely given hes not there tonight) I just dont understand our club (not that I did anyways)

Our team was woefully short of firepower

Essentially we had Bowen and Summerville (coming off a long injury) as our wing option as Paqueta was never a winger and Guilherme hasn't been trusted by 3 managers.

Then we had Fullkrug and Wilson, Wilson on a pay to play because we couldn't guarantee his fitness

So we had 6 players for the front 3, including Guilherme & Paqueta.

Fullkrug obviously not in favour and couldn't do anything and Summerville, while a live wire, has got end product

Wilson, to his credit, has done pretty well even though he's been used more than he should

Fullkrug and Guilherme binned off (the right imo) and 2 new attackers brought in....fantastic, hopefully got more firepower now with Bowen, Wilson, Summerville, Paqueta, Pablo and Taty.

Also means Wilson can be used more off the bench to nick a goal in the last 20 minutes, what he was brought in for

The we get rid of Wilson...the only striker we have that has hit the net and has a wealth of prem experience

We're actually an attacker down this window if he goes, back to 5 players for the front 3 (again including Paqueta who isnt a winger).... thats not enough

And where are the centre back links? Literally cant head a ball and yet, no links yet

Hope we keep Wilson...how peak is that to admit

Fortuneseeker · January 6

From what I have read Wilson doesn't want to be the third choice striker which I can understand if he is on a "pay if you play contract". Marshall going out on loan, so there is another forward who could have been used if required.

IronHerb · January 6

So you want to play Wilson, in a relegation battle, when he doesn't want to be here?

carsonroadboy · January 6

Has he said he doesn’t want to be here?

I want a player who help us stay up, and his 4 goals is the joint highest for us

If he has a strop just drop him, hes on about £5k a week apparently, let him sulk hes gone in the summer

Im sure he wants to get paid and he agreed the deal so im sure he'd want to try, and if Taty or Pablo or anyone gets injured im sure he'll play

Hasn't looked like a player who doesnt care when hes played

Even if he gets 2goals from now till the new year, but those 2 goals win us points then its madness to sell him
