Sullivan lays out his summer plans

david-sullivan-west-ham-upton-park_3339474David Sulivan has wound up the summer guessing game by declaring “we hope to sigh a few more this summer.”

The club co-chairman – who is now director of football in all but name – has spoken to the official site about his plans for the close season.

He said: “We have done well with our signings and we hope we can sign a few more this summer who will do equally as well or better

“We know that we need a top striker which is the hardest thing to sign. We need a 20-goal-a-season striker and that will cost us £25m or £30million. That is where the bulk of the money goes.

“We also need the occasional long shot which is the cheaper player that may come good. We want to sign more players.

“There might be a few fringe players who we will let go and use that to bring in two or three more players.

“We have already signed one player for next season and there will be other signings. I would think that four, five or six players will come in this summer depending on how many go and hopefully we do just as well or even better next season.”

  1. Funny that he doesn’t mention a RB, which I would have thought, if not quite as important as a striker, would be a close second

  2. They have already said they want a right back,which is surely one of the few more signings isnt it.

  3. Stan let Canchez have his moan it keeps him happy for another week,
    We have Byram,Dobson both young but great prospects Tomkins and Antonio,
    Not bad to cover RB but yes we need a RB but there are 4 good ones at the moment that are freebies so what’s the problem,
    Taking these comments very lightly as last year we signed loads in the end,and to be honest after 4 years of ****e if we keep our squad and replace Emineke,Song And Moses
    ( song done already ) I would be happy
