Joint-Chairman David Sullivan has welcomed Scotland winger Robert Snodgrass to West Ham before announcing that he would like to bring more British players to the Club.
Snodgrass became the Hammers’ second January signing on Friday evening, when he completed a £10.2m move from Premier League rivals Hull City.
“Robert Snodgrass is a very good player who is great when it comes to scoring and assisting goals, while his free-kicks and corners are among the best in the Premier League,” the Joint Chairman told whufc.com.
“He is proven in the Premier League and is British, and I must say we’d like to sign a few more British players to get a good balance in the squad alongside the outstanding players we have brought in from overseas.
“Robert is our second January signing after Jose Fonte, and I regard the Southampton captain as an ‘almost’ British player in terms of his experience in this country, since he has played here for a long time!”
Well,that’s fine and patriotic, but,until you start looking to players with price tag around 40-50 G ,you can’t expect to breach to top six…and top players are defined by price tag and not by nationality..
With you 100% jj.
I want to believe that the owners have learned something from last season disaster shopping..but
You can’t buy players like Tore,Nordtveit,Zaza,Emenike,Jelavić and at the same time make statement that they are ambitius..Well,next summer purchase will tell us all about ..
