Jack reckons three or four more on way

jack2Hammers Chairman’s son Jack Sullivan has hinted we should expect  three or four more signing in addition to the five already signed.

When asked by one West Ham fan whether we can expect anymore signing 15 year old replied: ‘Always more, signing maybe 3-4’

Darren Randolph, Stephen Hendrie , Pedro Obiang, Dimitri Payet and Angelo Ogbonna have all signed so far this summer.

Arsenal right back Carl Jenkinson is likely to become signing No.6 on a season-long loan on Monday or Tuesday.

Despite his injury Alex Song is also likely to sign before the transfer window closes assuming a second medical gives him the all clear.

The remaining two signings are thought to be a midfielder and a winger.

The midfielder on a season long loan could be Argentine midfielder Manuel Lanzini from UAE-based club Al Jazira. Lanzini was previously linked with West Ham in the past but the former River Plate star opted for a move to Al Jazira for a fee of around £5.25million.

The striker is a harder to gauge with the Hammer being linked with a number of targets. One of those heavily linked in recent weeks is Mattia Destro who appeared on the verge of signing for Monaco over the weekend. However, reports in Italy suggest Roma’s  deal with AS Monaco for striker Destro looks to be in jeopardy as the Italian has reportedly rejected the move.

If we do sign a total of nine players by the time the summer transfer window ends we would have shown serious ambition in our final season at the Boleyn Ground.

    Im proper glad he aint come to us,would rather have that fucking Julian Clary mincing up the flank than donkey Johnson!!

  • Stingray Stewart says:

    Totally with you on this one Spoonie.Well pleased he has gone to Stoke.Past his sell-by-date,would have been a hippo type signing.I didnt want reminding of those type of deals.

  • Whispering Spoonie says:

    So glad Johnson has fucked off to Stoke,thats one minging has been out of the equation that people can stop asking for.Terrible fucking player these days!

  • Stingray Stewart says:

    Those team sheets on there crack me up.Its relentless,every day,lol.I mean seriously what is the point of selecting a team when you dont even know who the fuck will be at the club by the end of the transfer window,crazy 😉

  • boys of 66 says:

    It is one of the many unsolved mysteries of the universe Tys.The truth is out there somewhere just waiting to be discovered 😉

  • TysonM says:

    Hahaha,nice one,but it still doesnt stop me finding it a little strange 😀

    • Lt. Quickdrawovic 1st Slavalry C&H Regt says:

      Haha I suppose we’re all strange in our own way…..but they’re definitely stranger than us lol

  • TysonM says:

    Why are they always doing that weird team selection & formations rubbish.We aint even got a clue who will be signed or in the team by the start of the seaon.They even put in fucking players we aint signed,lol,strange 😀

    • Lt. Quickdrawovic 1st Slavalry C&H Regt says:

      ————Bimey————–
      Ty—–You—–Should—–Know
      They’re——Masters—–Of—-Team
      —-Formations—-LOL

  • boys of 66 says:

    Be good to see who comes in,but im also enjoying the wet pants team selections & formations today.There knowledge puts me to shame,lol 😉

  • bubs says:

    I think it could be more that 4 if we can shift some dead wood,if Jenkinson,Song and Lanzini
    Join we still need another right back and forward that can play wide if needed,
    Don’t care if they are loan or brought,
    Problem is I think Jarvis will be the winger,JOB will be the right back and Lee and Samuelson will be are forward which could top U.S. Winning a trophy this year,

  • Si Hammer says:

    Hahaha,yes only Mystic Brad holds the key to the truth.Btw,what a waste of a quality player if Javier Hernandez goes to Orlando City in the MLS.He will regret it even if his bank balance doesnt!

  • GW says:

    I won’t believe any of this until I hear it from the ITK or Mystic Bradders, they are the true foreseers of all things Claret and Blue once they tell me in 72 hours we will sign a big name, short name, world name, not world name ,we’ll be overwhelmed underwhelmed then I’ll believe it… sorry Jack

  • Lt. Quickdrawovic 1st Slavalry C&H Regt says:

    I think we need 2 RBs the Peruvian might be worth a sniff,a couple of attacking mids be they wingers or not and obviously a striker although I’d like to see the progress of the junior Viking. I know that’s five but I can be greedy just this once lol

  • eriko says:

    Maybe we have that striker, now that we have a manager willing to play football!!?

  • Si Hammer says:

    Striker pls,no more ending up with no one to play.Not for a third season in a row.Last two seasons have been a joke with no goalscorers available!

  • salesb says:

    I like the sound of the MIrallas rumours, would be an amazing replacement for Downing

  • boys of '66 says:

    I want another striker in big time,who the hell is going to score the goals if Carroll & Sakho are out injured.Aint even got big bad Carlton this season.We will be heading towards season no3 with no strikers if our two main men go down crock as seems to be the ongoing theme.

  • johnham1 says:

    We need a right full, holding midfielder, playmaker and a winger as priority. If you look at our signings they have been mainly defensive with the exception of Payet. So let’s not get carried away until we see something more offensively, a playmaker and winger a must, an additional striker on loan would be nice but not as essential as these two.

  • jaybs says:

    It’s a Striker we need, who scores Goals!

  • boys of '66 says:

    Jacks off & running again,now we should expect Mystic Bradley to go into action as well.He must have read all the morning papers over a coffee & bacon butty by now.Time for his ITK huge scoops for the day 😀
