HIJACKED: Jiminez deal in danger!

|

RaulWest Ham will have to beat off the attention of other clubs to seal the signing of Raul Jiminez.

Whuilst the Mail has reported that the club is now clear to sign for the club interest from other clubs has arisen,

We have been told this morning when asking if the deal was now done that it may fail as other clubs are showing an interest.

A well placed source told us exclusively: ” No it hasn’t been done – sadly other clubs  have got into him while we waited for the appeal . We are hopeful but it’s not straightforward.”

  • bubs says:

    This is starting to stink like the last 2 transfer windows,
    Why aren’t we being told the truth,there’s no more money to spend and until we remove the dead wood there are no more loans,
    We are being strung along,Carroll is being rushed back,Jimenez,Hernandez,Austin,the Italian right back both Barca players were never coming,
    How many more stumbling blocks are we going to be fed,
    Tell us the truth we are finished for this year

    • MyOldMan says:

      Bubs,
      Carroll – isn’t being rushed he has just progressed to training with the u21 squad, a natural step up as he continues recovery.
      Jimenez – not much more we can do. cannot progress to get anything signed whilst we didn’t have a work permit. during the wait other clubs have registered an interest and his agent is looking for the biggest fee.
      Hernandez – submitted one offer, probably gone/going back with another, what more do you want?
      Austin – club already said its too much money/risk, papers are the ones saying that other offers like cash plus Jarvis/Nolan is on the table not the club
      Inter right back – pure paper talk, nothing from the club suggesting we were ever in for him. Plus we have already paid a hefty fee for Jenks loan.
      Halilovic – paper talk
      Song – waiting till end of the window so we don’t have to pay wages until that point seeing as he is crocked and wouldnt feature anyway.

      If we are getting strung along at all its by the papers not the club. The club and slav have already said they intend to try and add 1 or 2 more and the money is there to do so if its needed. Not sure what more you want really considering we are still 3 weeks away from the end of the transfer window and business so far this year has been decent. Squad is better than last year and we have a manager that is starting to get the team playing good football, what reason is there not to be anything other than optimistic for the season as a West Ham fan.

    Would not be too bothered about this. Yes we need a striker but he scored 1 goal last season. Yes he was a good player in Mexico but so was Barrera when we signed him. Look how that one turned out.

  • bubs says:

    The deal was done so in 2 days his agent who said he and the player only wanted the Premier have pulled out
    What a crock
    The 2 saves have pulled out more like it

    • Stingray Stewart says:

      Yeah sure they have bubs.Thats why Slaven has just said on SSN that the deal should be completed today or tomorrow but he wont be ready for sunday.Must be because the daves pulled out hey.

  • bubs says:

    Never mind t55whu no one has signed Cole yet,
    Dream on the deals are done now it’s the bull poo to follow
    Not a problem but just be honest and tell us

  • boys of 66 says:

    Haha,you make many assumptions bubs,lol,if his agent is trying to do a deal better for him then he will go to another club.What is it with everyone today.Bilic,Daves,all w*nkers now,lol

  • Roman says:

    I feel the frustration bubs but as t55whu said it could be a blessing in disguise.I was hoping the spuds would take him.Yes Barrera still haunts me but as bubs said the dead wood has to be pruned to free up money for a quality striker.Any news on the Halallovic kid?

    • Roman says:

      HITC have reported we have been upstaged by Celta Vigo for Halallovic.That does it for me.Carlton where are you?

      • MyOldMan says:

        In all honestly though any rumors linking Halilovic to us have been based purely on the fact that Slav was the Croatian manager that played the lad and not much more. Ofc it could still happen and we will all rejoice but when all is said and done its silly season and unfortunately we all get strung along by wannabe journos wanting views.

  • spyinthesky says:

    Yes anyone reading Kumb yesterday evening would have heard this while the media was claiming the deal was all but done.

  • danielson79 says:

    Maybe the daves have pulled out due to other news on other strikers. This situation will always happen when every tom dick and harry knows our transfer plans.

  • slaven a laugh says:

    european football is a big consideration for top players. All sold down the river now though.

  • JimmyF says:

    What a steaming pile of **** some of you talk.The Daves have pulled out of it.Laughable.You should be stuck in your lunatic homes.The fans on here who about a month ago were saying ‘We have our West Ham back’,now turning on Slaven & the board before the season has even started.Maybe you would prefer we were still in the championship signing Bouba Diop,Faye & the like on freebies.Then you would be really happy with your lot.Pathetic fans.

    • hammerman69 says:

      I agree with JimmyF 100%, most WH fans will always be negative, it’s their mentality. A month ago you were all raving that FS has gone and Slav would bring back proper football. Give the man a chance, he’s had two separate training camps since he arrived. Can we have a petition to get Jack Sullivan off Twitter coz the kid knows f***all.
      Jimenez is not the answer for me, Austin or Hernandez, if not for get it, play with what we have, except Maiga.

  • justwhu says:

    I am 100% behind the board and Slaven Bilic. If Jiminez wants to go to another club so be it. I’m not bothered neither should any of us be. I hope we get Charlie Austin

  • bigcol says:

    It’s the same now for the last few seasons. We talk and talk and talk about who we are trying to sign, alerting every club around as the the possibility that a players wants to move clubs. By the time we have finished talking they have been snapped up by other interested parties.
    For gods sake, stop talking, just sign them up… Then tell the rest of the world.
