West Ham are set to back Manuel Pellegrini in the winter transfer window when two new arrivals are planned.Calls for the manager and director of football’s heads will go unheeded in the boardroom as the club look at available options in the winter window.
ClaretandHugh has learned that the club is currently looking at goalkeeping options following the dreadful start to Roberto’s career whilst the manager is also believed to be looking at left sided defensive options.
We were told last night that despite Lukasz Fabianski being set to return in January, the club intend to push on with plans to bring in another keeper giving the problems in his absence.
Both arrivals could be loan signings given the financial restraints at the club but the manager remains on solid ground this season regardless.
The decision to stick by the manager and his DOF has also been repeated by the Italian journalist who forecast Sebastian Haller’s arrival at the club last summer.
Nicolò Schira @NicoSchira tweeted: #Pellegrini is going to stay on the bench of #WestHam. The club trusts the coach and in January #Hammers will buy two new player. #transfers #WHUFC
Going down, then.
It’s beyond belief – a box to box midfielder is the one signing we need, but Pellegrini is clueless as he is proving in abundance !
I’m sure it’s going to kick off massively with the fans very, very soon.
Let’s see if that’s still the case after the next 4 games.
I really like pelle and he has a great cv . The problem lies with money end of. All the top managers and coaches need to be backed by the board of that club whether it’s pep rafa or others . So if your left with little cash then you get little players like Sanchez ajeti Roberto and Martin end of. Answer is get someone in who will provide more than 100 million in two seasons and gets rid of players without replacing them with quality or not at all. Fornals and some youth players are not ready yet that’s the future so we need ones that can hit the ground running. That means either this board wakes up supply the cash to do the job properly or sell up to someone who will.
Who exactly are you thinking about?
