Moyes Maguire interest over as Tah gets Moyes attention
West Ham’s defence has been about as reliable as my ex-wife trying to parallel park – all over the place. So, it’s no surprise we’re eyeing Jonathan Tah, a German brick wall with a knack for goals. His expiring contract screams bargain, but is it a deal too good to be true?
On paper, Tah is a dream. Towering and a tackling machine, he’d shore up West Ham’s wobbly backline. But here’s the thing – the Bundesliga ain’t the Premier League. Can Tah handle the firestorm of the English game? His German stats are shiny, but translating that to the Prem’s relentless pace is a gamble.
Moyes Maguire interest could end by signing Jonathon Tah
Moyes faces a tough call. Does he play it safe and chase someone proven in the Premier League (remember his Maguire fixation?), or is Tah’s potential worth the risk? The price tag is tempting, but a failed adaptation could be a disaster. West Ham need to be sure Tah can slot into the system seamlessly and handle the physicality of England’s top tier. As has been witnessed with Nayef Aguerd, not every sogning can handle the robust intensity of the EPL.
This could be a masterstroke if Tah adapts like a duck to water. But if he flops, it’ll be another frustrating transfer window for West Ham fans. West Ham should be cautious, but at least former Leverkusen employee Tim Steidten will be able to offer some advice. Is Tah the answer to our defensive woes, or just another question mark? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – this transfer saga is far from over.
