Hammers weighing their winter striker options

Diego Costa

Ok, we have regularly been told by the board that they – and every other club is in a state financially – and of course most reasonable people will accept that.

It’s been a dreadful year for everybody and listening to the Prime Minister this morning predicting things will probably remain as bad or worse for some months has me for one wondering what the hell is going on with two vaccines now available.

Ok, I’ll go no further in case my political petticoat start to slip but the simple situation is at West Ham we need a striker badly.

Under what appears to be the present situation – that only two loans are allowed at any given time – the owners  may need to dig into limited resources for a striker this month.

Indeed – whilst pointing out the lack of finances, manager Moyes claims the board will back him in the market.

The likelihood is that – as we have reported – Haller will be sold back to a German club in the summer –  with four Bundesliga  outfits already  understood to have enquired.

No new names are emerging from the club on who could be an option to buy this month  although such as 32 year old Diego Costa have been thrown around in the media.

That sort of suggestion is always gonna be made at this time of the year but we we know for certain is that a striker is at the top of the wanted list.

Let’s just hope we don’t make the mistake of signing a Jordan Hugill of Albian Ajeti.

But one way or another Moyes and the board have to find an answer up front.
