While were on the subject of West Ham and there strikers, They had Colin Kazim-Richards on trial recently not sure if anything came of it, has his contract in Turkey ran out?
Would be another great Freebie signing, tad too ambitious like Aluko?
Bit of information about him recently below
"He returned to Fenerbahçe for the following season.[16] On 3 January 2011, Fenerbahçe terminated his contract.[17] He signed a three-and-a-half year contract with local rivals Galatasaray in January 2011 scoring against Fenerbahçe during the season.[1] In July 2012 he went on trial with English Premier League side West Ham United appearing in their 2–1 defeat of Colchester United on 21 July[18] and scoring in a 2-2 draw with FC Energie Cottbus.[19]"
Been loaned out twice by Galatasary, Sounds like a bit of a bad lad though.
