You don't know any West Ham scouts,
No, but I know West Ham supporters. They don't want him.
Fenerbache don't want him either, they're desperate to off-load him.

Personally I would take RVP, he knows where the goal is and even if he is passed his best, probably still better than we will probably finish up with.
Also a ****-ton more expensive!! Body won't hold up to a season of PL football.
Boro in for him though, so hope they get him.
Would anyone prefer to see Robin van Persie playing for Middlesbrough rather than Hull City?
West Ham had him scouted in Turkey and decided that he didn't have the legs for the PL anymore. But who am I to go on the word of professionals when I have people like you to rely on?
How's he gone since he moved to soton? We don't get coverage of their reserves over here.Didn't we decide that Charlie Austin didn't have the legs for the Premier League?
That's an appalling comment to make, even by your standards!He's almost certainly an alcoholic as well.
Leeds United are close to agreeing a fee worth in the region of £3m with Oxford United to sign forward Kemar Roofe.
Great signing for them.

I know, I was very unhappy that we missed out at the time.He didnt sign for Southampton instead of us. He signed for QPR and scored 18 Premier League goals.
Might have been his shoulder.Didn't we decide that Charlie Austin didn't have the legs for the Premier League?
Might have been his shoulder.

And Austin wasn't 32 with a history of injuries in the PL but don't let that stop him.![]()
I think there's less chance of that with an older player who has already played in the league, but yes I'll agree that it's not a perfect science.Wasnt the point you made. You said West Ham scouts had decided he didn't have the legs for it and therefore we shouldn't be interested. I was just pointing out that clubs get this wrong.
