Irons fans give ‘transfer target’ huge thumbs down

West Ham and Jonjo Shelvey has become the most regular transfer rumour to affect the club in months and months and months.

Ahead of every transfer window it seems the Romford born Newcastle United midfielder is presented as the answer to the Hammers issues in that area.

It’s been going on since the days of Slaven Bilic and has gained pace this time around since he has dropped down the pecking order at St James’ Park.

There have been regular stories that he is a £15m – £20m target and of late that Manuel Pellegrini is an admirer of the player.

If that’s the case it seems the majority of Hammers fans don’t share his view according to the latest poll published by ClaretandHugh.

A total of 1259 voted and a massive 905 – or 71.88 pc  – were opposed to the club making a move for the 27 year old with 354 (28.12pc) giving the the idea a thumbs up.
