The Turkish media are again flogging the dead Gary Medel horse so just a warning to take no notice when you come across the reports.
As mentioned previously we have yet to see the Turkish Press get anything more than half a per cent correct when linking their local players to the Hammers.
Medel was – according to Manuel Pellegrini – the only player under consideration in the winter and that was only because we believed he was on a free transfer.
Once that turned out not to be the case the club didn’t bother following through even though the transfer fee was believed to be a mere £5 million.
He in fact has a contract with Besiktas until next June and the price is not going to change so a report in the meantime.
The Turkish media via Fotomac are claiming the Chile international is reportedly keen to play under Manuel Pellegrini.
It’s not going to happen!
Good I like Medel’s versatility can cover RB & CB but another Sanchez IMO. In mid we need a more box to box who can create a Tielmams even John Mcginn might of been a miss his been great. Or Donny Van De Beek that type.
Linked with M’Vila & I like him but IMO we should of got him Jan with Moyes on free or that summer before he signed a new deal with Saint Etienne
He was Sunderland’s best player been great with Etieene but be cover for Rice & isn’t really creative but is good in air passing holding
Even Shelevey I would stay away from especially at £20m. Wilshere, Sanchez, even Yarmolenlo should be warnings against high wages on injury primes players & older players espe in Yarmo cause 4yr deal w 5yr extensivion. How he comes back good.
But MP said ‘Youth & Pace’ and that’s what we need I van understand 1 28-29yo but rest I’d keep under
