He's turned them down because they're in the Championship, he's not cheaper and he's not better (in my opinion), we should just hurry up and get Gray sorted.
He was in the Championship with Peterborough. I agree you can't just go by data at a certain level. Whether to buy somebody depends on so many things. You have to look at the players total play and also consider how they would fit in with the new club and how the new club could help him to be successful.
That's the danger with his move. It's a very distinct possibility he'll be back in the Championship next season!
Totally agree Canada. If he's got a midfield that can get the ball to him in a proper fashion, we might actually see him show us how good he really is. Last season our midfield was absolute ****
Robertson will be better than Brady, in certain aspects of his play he already is. We wouldn't get Brady back, unless he was available at a bargain price, and even then he would likely be only playing second fiddle to Robbo. On the other hand should Robbo be sold I wouldn't have an issue in taking him back. Why would I?
So we can understand why good players dont want to come to us. If we hadn't tailed off before the FA Cup Final and been able to finish mid table we may have got even better players and not finding ourselves in the Championship now.
I can unfortunately see Andre Gray ending up at Norwich, failing that West Ham are rumoured to be looking for striking options. Are going to do it again, **** about with our main target and then be forced into a panic move at the end of the window? I suppose at least this time around we have Choooooooba, an emerging Greg Luer, Hernandez if he doesn't go, Jela if he can get his head out of his arse, and Aluko. Can he be as good as he once was in the Championship?
Let's hope so Kemps, he was scuffing aplenty at Accrington as I remember. Aluko, seemingly more than most, seems to be one of those players whose head needs to be bang in the right place to be fully effective. Playing him wide right and not as a striker may also help. In a way he reminds me of Craig ***an, he seems to think that he's a striker, and if he doesn't Brucey certainly does, but he always seems to do his most damaging work from the flanks.
HULL, QPR, ASTON VILLA AND WEST BROM ALL KEEN ON WEST HAM MIDFIELDER Aston Villa and West Brom have joined Saint-Etienne in the race to sign troublesome West Ham midfielder Morgan Amalfitano. Manager Slaven Bilic and Amalfitano recently had a huge training ground bust-up where the player ‘gave attitude’ to Bilic, ending with Amalfitano being banished to train with the youth squad. According to French source L’Equipe, the 30-year-old is wanted by ‘two English clubs’, believed to be the Villains and the Baggies. However, Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne are leading the race for the Frenchman. They remain ‘very interested’ in bringing him back to France, and manager Christophe Gaultier had a phone call with Amalfitano yesterday evening over a possible move. Unfortunately for them, his £40,000-a-week wages could be a stumbling block, which opens the door for a move to a fellow Premier League side who can handle those financial demands. http://readwestham.com/2015/08/13/h...d-west-brom-all-keen-on-west-ham-midfielder/? I doubt we're interested at all.
We've been linked to him plenty of times before so either lazy journalism or us hoping to get him at last.
