£30 million Broja and a missing link!

By Hughie Southon

We still await an outcome to the Amando Broja saga.

And one big question dominates the scenario surrounding the Chelsea striker – why haven’t his loan club of last season – Southampton – come back for him? They appear to be a very obvious missing link!

Strikers are very thin on the ground right now and it has to be said that the reported £30 million we are apparently prepared to pay may be a little excessive for a player who until now has managed  just six Premier League goals on loan for the south coast club and none at his parent club for whom he has made just ONE appearance in three years .

However, these particular stats have not been mentioned very often although one would imagine that had Saints been seriously impressed with the striker they would be challenging the Irons tooth and nail for him.

In fact the Hammers appear to have the field to themselves which seems a little odd as the prices being mentioned are hardly out of Saints reach.

Perhaps they know more about the player than we do who, by the way, is a massive Chelsea fan and allegedly is extremely reluctant to leave the club anyway.

Despite all the noise surrounding the possible switch to east London I personally can’t get excited over such a deal.

We are still waiting and seeing and I hope there is another more Premier League proven front man on our apparent list of targets!
