Song deal likely by weekend

|

SongsAlex Song watched tonight’s game from the stands and is likely to be announced as a permanent Hammers signing by the weekend.

The midfielder has been  at Chadwell Heath for several days now and joined  first teamers in their training session before the game with Lusiens.

Song is believes to have agreed terms with the club for a three year deal and we are understood to be  close to agreeing the free transfer from Barcelona to the east end of London.

ClaretandHugh was told tonight: “It looks likely the announcement will come before or over the weekend.”

In the meantime Diego Poyet showed against Lusiens that he is set to get more game time in the Song position although manager for the night Terry Westley said he needed to make things happen with “one sweeping pass rather than two or three.”

    The pieces are slowly falling into place and the pattern of Bilic’s thinking is emerging, with his focus now shifting to the defence, whilst taking a good look at the strikers, including Zarate, that he already has, before rushing to buy something he might not need.

    Poyet made 2 bad passes all night and then went and one the ball back,he wanted the ball,
    Tackled well and led by example,it’s Song who will have to worry about his passing,at the end of last year he gave the ball away 30% of the time,
    Please check that mystic it might have been 29.5%

      ahahha… Bubs, you’re crippled by Wetpants’ disease: your stat is obviously the most significant and dangerous symptom right now. You must be quarantined immediately. lol 😀

    Funny bubs.I find the fans on forums quite cringeworthy when i read the way they talk about players performances like seasoned Prem managers or coaches.Explaining what a player should do to improve his game,how he should use the ball better,how he should improve his movement off the ball,lol.If these guys know so much why are they sat on a laptop on a football forum not managing one of the Prem big boys,lol

    Problem is twinkle toes there are only a small amount of jobs in the premier,
    But I do believe most of the people that post on this site could have done a better job than BFS,
    Matte just stare a my bottle now trying to guess how many percent of my beer is left and how many mins before I will have to order another before it gets to warm,
    Only problem is I don’t know the stats for the ultimate temperature to drink my beer
    Can you help mystic ( I don’t make mind my beer at any temperature)
