Hammers reveal the Cresswell plan
The club are preparing for a Cresswell absence after revealing their apprehensions following the wicked tackle on the former Hammer of the Year towards the end of the 3-0 win over Karlsruher on Saturday.
ClaretandHugh approached its top source at the club this morning asking whether there was a possibility of Stephen Hendrie being recalled from Blackburn Rovers as cover or if there was a loan move for a player on the cards.
We were told that neither was the case but instead the club would be entering the market to buy “a top class player.”
Our souce said: “We’ll try and sign a top class player. We have always needed a top back up and have gambled for a few seasons – now is the time to go and find that player.”
Slaven Bilic will meet with the board to discuss his preferred options with preliminary talks planned before the first Europa Cup match on Thursday.
We were told: “It’s too early to be discussing names but that’s the plan.”
