we would get more than that if we kept him this year and lost him on a free next year with the compensation we would get
I'm beginning to think that it wasn't a serious offer from West Ham! I think they are just trying to dip their toe in the water whilst at he same time trying to rock the boat!
West Ham are ready to call Sunderland's bluff over Connor Wickham, with the Black Cats unwilling to budge on their £8million valuation. The east Londoners are ready to wait until the final week of the transfer window to test whether the Wearsiders really are willing to risk losing the striker on a free next summer. Wickham has just a year left on his contract and has so far refused to commit himself to the club who bought him from Ipswich for £8m three years ago. West Ham, looking for a replacement for the injured Andy Carroll, have already had a £5m bid turned down for Wickham. The 21-year-old is understood to be keen on a move down to London, but the Hammers believe Sunderland want too much for him - given that he scored only five league goals last season. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/west-ham-playing-connor-wickham-4051275#ixzz3AP7q17uH Follow us: @DailyMirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook
Call our bluff? Gus wants to keep him for gods sake. So yeh, **** off! And anyway, why sign up for a manager with a short shelf-life?
