Sullivan (junior) hints ‘Austingate’ now all over

|

SullivansWest Ham are hoping their striker “crisis” will be solved by the middle of next week.

Chairman’s son and prolific tweeter, Jack Sullivan – who was clearly in a feisty mood following his elder brother and Dad David’s appearance on a controversial podcast this week – has dropped a heavy hint the issue is now close to closure.

Addressing the issue that is exercising everybody’s mind right now, the teenager tweeted: “Transfer update -We hope to resolve our striker crisis by the middle of next week.”

Jack is clearly very much up for things at the moment despite the uproar caused on the podcast, which led to a war of words between his Dad and Charlie Austin.

If nothing else, he’s a real chip off the old block!

    Key words ‘we hope to’.They look like something out of the Ant Hill Mob in that picture!!

    Ahhhh,bless him,is he a chip off the old block.Dont think so,he aint put his foot in his mouth,not recently anyway 😉

  • IronsEssex says:

    Wish all the sullivans would keep quiet until something is finalised or as good as, now if we don’t get a striker in next week they will take a barrage of abuse for it, they never learn.
    Fingers crossed it’s Moussa Sow though ay

    We need to get this position sorted because, like it or not, we need to make sure 100% Carroll is ready to come back.

    • Roman says:

      Ritchie Carroll’s hurt his glass ankle again.Nothing serious but a setback of a couple of weeks.I think he rolled his ankle putting on shoes if you can believe that?What will happen on the pitch then?

  • ExPat_Hammer says:

    It will not be the striker we really want but one that’ll for the time being – whoever that is.

    Bit of free advice young master Sullivan,do your school work like young Mister Oxford and get your exam results and leave the transfer news to the people in the know like canchaz and Mystic Bradders,and don’t let your dad near you internet accounts because he is dangerous,
    There’s a good lad

      Yeah, get your GCSE’s and get yourself a job… Totally disregard the fact your dad is a multi millionaire and you could live your life in massive luxury up to your neck in Pirelli calendar models, champagne, boats, mansions, private jets, fast cars, exotic holidays and never have to work a day. Remember Bubs advice is free – because that’s all it’s worth! JS – keep up the interesting role you play. Good insight in to what the club is trying to do.

    Spot on , Richie ; I for one would love to see Andy Carroll worrying defenses again .
    It would be a bit silly to deny that his presence upsets defenses .
    Just wish the squirt ( JS ) would keep his own council and stop getting the fans all worked up over and over again . Whoever this mystery Striker may be , he certainly won’t be worth more than 7 million tops ., could well be another loan player .
    Glad the Austin saga is over . Looking at the bigger picture , I think we are better off without him anyway .

  • TysonM says:

    Hahaha,the squirt,that is a good name for him Kev 😀

    This little sullivan is certainly something, smug, disrespectful, comes across as the usual spoilt brat with far too much to say for himself… Fair play he is entitled to his opinion, but it’s like he is on the payroll… “Come this way, that’s your office, access all areas, say what you like son…” Wealth and respect should be deserved, earned by hard graft, grit and determination… Finally when we get time it can be enjoyed now and again…

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a right hook sooner or later, The Terminator won’t **** about…

    Maybe Bilic will sort it before it comes to that… hers hoping he leaves it to Julian…

  • samthehammer says:

    Keep seeing Carlos tevez in a westham kit plastered all over the place in the sky sports add I believe this is the striker jack is on about LMAO we can only hope ay probably Charlie Austin the war of words was just a distraction so people wouldn’t put to much pressure on that deal lol
