Pellegrini plays down transfer talk

|

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini has played down talk of the January window insisting he has three games to play before he can think about transfers.

Asked about the transfer rumour surrounding Issa Diop and Spurs at his pre-match press conference the 67-year-old Chilean replied “I don’t think that is important now, we have to play three games before the window. After that we will make a review of what we need in which positions we can improve. At this moment, we are not thinking about that.”

The Hammers are thought to be in the transfer market for a replacement goalkeeper, striker and a defender during the January transfer window but much will depend on availability and value for money for the replacements.

The club is said to be willing to part company with Roberto, Winston Reid, Jack Wilshere, Carlos Sanchez and Ablian Ajeti if offers come in that match their own valuations.

    It would have been nice to hear him say Issa Diop is going nowhere .

  • Adji says:

    Yeah.. That’s make sense. He said that because if next 3 games we dont get good result, he’ll be sacked for sure

      I never understood why we signed Jack Wheelchair. That must have been a complete waste of money.
      I can’t see there being too much transfer activity in the January window.
      Anyway, to whole of the ClaretandHugh community… Merry Christmas! Fröhliche Weihnachten! Joyeux Noël

    The most important position we need is a new manager.
    He’s left us with no midfield, poor defensive full backs, one forward and a reserve keeper that couldn’t catch a cold plus he’s inability not to change the system tactics etc.

  • Russell Burke says:

    Why is the club willing to sell Winston Reid? Is there something I don’t about his injury?
