Bilic calling tune as Hammers wait on Bacca

|

bilicWest Ham will wait on Slaven Bilic’s next pick should Carlos Becca decide to turn his back on the club’s offer.

But the Irons will not call time on the deal – or issue ultimatums to the  AC Milan player – although they are ready to move on should the manager say enough is enough.

However, our sources have made it clear that despite reported claims there could be an answer in another 24 hours, that may not necessarily be the case.

He said: “We don’t know what the player is thinking other than the fact that he has several offers plus the option of staying where he is

“He has several offers and is taking his time which is his right. He’s a player we like and there will no threats of it being make your mind up time.

“Should Slaven make a new suggestion then we will work on that but it’s entirely his call – he calls the tune in these situations.

“We have a good idea who we are looking at but things are fluid and new faces can beecome available so we remain entirely flexible at this stage and ready to move once the manager gives us his thinking.”

    So Fathead has been confirmed as England gaffer.Oh deep joy lol
    Mind it makes me appreciate the fact we have Super Slaven as our boss!

  • Mr Buddy Lurve says:

    I don’t mind Fat Sam as England boss. England are are team with half-decent individuals, no World-class players and a propensity to play like rabbits in headlights. I think he will galvanise the squad and pep them up. Despite the fact he was a poor fit for West Ham, the players seem to love him and he gets results. We don’t have to watch England every week, so it might be just about bearable.

  • Stan The Man says:

    Lol,i suppose so.Maybe only having to hear from him about 10 times a year is better than about 50 times a season.

    Why another 24 hours !
    The player obviously is not sure he wants to come ,or doesn’t want to ?
    Just send a press gang !!! Or ask matte to make him an offer he can’t refuse ,
    Black suit , dark glasses , tic tacs , and a mouth organ case the full works ?
    My ulcer can’t keep up with this lol.
    This has to be on par with EastEnders ,
    Dom ,Dom ,Dom Dom , domadom!

    Deep breath Johnboy,it will be ok when Slav takes over,all of a sudden a new name we all want will appear and our troubles will be over,
    As for BFS unless you want to surport a second class country football team,start the get shot of Hippo chants early because it’s going to take at least 4 more years to get shot of him,
    1 World Cup and 1 Euro comp lost for another generation,
    Sad but true,

    I’d prefer young, hungry and willing rather than old, greedy and reluctant… And I’m not talking about my women, although the, but I digress… I don’t want him because he really doesn’t want to come to us at all.
    Now I’m not blaming him as he wants Champions League football and to him we’re just another employer, whereas for us West Ham are a part of our life. But let’s move on and maybe even make up with the sulky one….
