West Ham paid £12milliin for Valencia, so we should ask at least that. They'd pay him 50k a week in a blink, idiots.
Apparently Diafra Sakho (whoever he is) is on the way from Metz after a £3.5 m fee agreed. As cover for Carroll that's more like the fee they'd be looking to pay.
Yet more lazy journo-speak IMHO. West aaam have said they are hoping to get 1 from 4 they are looking at; CW ain't signed a new contract (yet, but fingers crossed given he played his part against Betis - guess he wouldn't figure at all if there are irreconcilable differences ) 1 + 1 could easily equal 2 in the equation.
Wickham will want more money, Sunderland will want to protect themselves. Wickham has only just shown what he can do, but he's not worth 55k a week which is what ive heard thrown around. The contract will have alot of incentive based bonus and raises in it IF he performs and continues his rise upwards. If he slums about collecting his money, then he wont earn. It's a win win for both the club and player, and surely Connor will be seeking assurances from Poyet of game time etc.
We'll want to keep him, but with his contract due to expire loads of teams are interested, doesn't mean we'll sell. Just need him to sign a new deal
I honestly think that with Mr Borini pissing us about and us looking very lightweight in attack, I cannot imagine Poyet would allow any further depletion of his forward line, unless of course the Hammers offer stupid money.
