New reports but this transfer won’t happen

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!
