Kouyate deal on the way

kouyateWest Ham are ready to offer Cheik Kouyate an improved deal but not until the season hits the midway point.

The former Anderlecht star has been in great form so far and is believed to want to negotiate around £40 to £45k a week.

The all action midfielder is believed to be on around £30k a week at the moment and with his contract not due to run out until 2018 is keen to receive an upgrade.

There were strong suggestions in the transfer window that Spurs were keen but ClaretandHugh was assured that the player would be going nowhere but that wage negotiations would be on the agenda later in the season.

And today we were told the club will be ready to talk to the player’s advisers one the Christmas programme has passed.

We were told: “It’s the club’s usual procedure to look at that time and if negotiations are to take place that’s when they would start.

“There was a lot of talk about Tottenham at the end of the transfer window but it didn’t happen than and it won’t – we are always ready to keep our players happy.”

  1. He is easily worth 40-45k,actually it aint enough,give him 60k-70k.He is worth his weight in gold this lad!! 😉

  2. He is worth more than Nolan so let’s get it done and put a clause of £35 million buy out
    To put off the Sharks,
    We need to get Lanzini deal done early as well,

  3. How much was Nolan on ???pay the man he is more than worth it ,
    I suppose it will save a couple of hundred thousand up till after Xmas !!
    Dig deep Dave’s, onward and upward !!

  4. £50k per week
    Worth every penny NOT

    • Here you go bubs,i know how much you love Wetpants.This new article headline on there will bring you out in a rash,lol

      ‘What if Big Sam Was Still West Ham Manager…’

      • I would be crying into my beer if Hippo was still manager.I had more than enough of being p*ssed off last season without another season of it 😀

  5. Pay him whatever he wants.Dont want Levy & the Spuds sniffing around again!

  6. The lad deserves all he can squeeze out of the board.Quality player for us.His Fanny looks good in an Irons top as well.

  7. Get it done & dusted,he deserves it big time 😉

  8. No rash any more slimjim just happiness,
    Would have a sneak look but my time is more valuable,sooner sit by my pool watching dragonflies mating then the wetpants 12 trying to have a intelligent conversation,
    Such a pity because there are some real football people on there trying to have sensible
    Banter with others,
    If the Happy Hippo was still manager we would be bottom Nolan would have another 3 year contract,we would have Magia leading the line with Jarvis and Carroll,
    No wins No chance,he is finished as a manager
    Now time for a beer and mellow out

  9. Lmao,enjoy the beer & mating dragonflies bubs.It pretty much is the Wetpants12 these days.Many of the good lads on there who liked the crack have been hounded out by a select few.Shame,was a good site with good guys on it,still some top lads on there now but it is not the same.
