Simone Zaza will not be joining West Ham on loan in January as striker cover.
The Juventus front man has been regularly linked with the Irons since the summer and, with the injury problems at the club, again this month.
The 24 year old is valued at around £10 million and – unable to hold down a regular place at the Serie A club – was seen by many as a shoe in at Upton Park this winter given Diafra Sakho’s injury and Andy Carroll’s latest problem.
But ClaretandHugh was told this morning it won’t happen as with players returning to fitness Slaven Bilic is disinterested in adding to the quartet of hit men available to him.
We were told: “The club has gone down that route previously, bringing in expensive loan fee players and seeing them sit on the sidelines. We have players on the way back – there’s no panic.
“Our injury problems are improving day on day and we won’t be adding to the squad this winter unless it is absolutely necessary and it doesn’t look that way at the moment.”
This decision was as easy for West Ham as picking your bingo numbers at bestbingosite.co.uk.
We need to look for a better striker than our two options of Carroll and Jelavic they are simply not good enough any longer, why Gold had to take to twitter with the £38 Million Pound Striker comment about Carroll when asked about striker signings, it makes us look a joke, same as it was stated that he would be back this week (not as if he would help) it is time the club ordered No One makes club comments except the official club media tweet, both in email’s, tweets and facebook, no one else should be making comments to supporters.
Not worth £10 million
There are others that are better for that money and can play in the premier,
