West Ham have been linked with a move for Bayer Leverkusenās outstanding midfielder Exequiel Palacios. And this report hasnāt come from some dubious outlet nobodyās heard ofāitās come from Sky Sports News.
The 26-year-old Argentinian is regarded as one of the most complete midfielders in Europe and, if weāre being honest, probably a bit too good for where West Ham are right now. Just three months ago, Palacios was being linked with a move to Real Madrid. Yet this morning, Sky claim heās a target for the Irons.
The idea that West Ham are even attempting to sign a player of this calibre is hard to believeānever mind actually pulling it offāso I wonāt be getting overly excited just yet.
That said, Sky also report that the club retains a strong interest in Jacob Ramsey and are very much in the market for midfield reinforcements.
Sky seem to be in overdrive this morning, with updates on John Victorās transfer saga and now this major development in the Hammersā midfield search.
While the chances of West Ham landing Palacios seem slim to none, itās vital the club address a key problem area.
Interestingly, Palacios himself hinted earlier in the summer that he may not stay at Leverkusen, telling South American media: āThe transfer window is open and thereās plenty of time, but Iām relaxed, training and preparing for the start of the Bundesliga. My mind is now on Leverkusen. Weāll see what happens later.ā
He added: āI always dream of returning to River. But right now my mind is on Leverkusen, in Europe. Iām not thinking about going back.ā
Batting above whu league.
It was a toss up between Man City and Liverpool.
With hiss preference being Man City
I remember a few years ago we got a curtain ”Fantastic-Brazilian” 4 51 million that all the top teams in the premiership wanted. his names slipped my mind at the moment, oh what was is now. oh that’s right a midfielder by the name of Lucas Paqueta that’s him our number 10 no less lol C O Y I’s.
So lets just say stranger things have happened guys.
Cheers Paul
Sold Upton Park but did not make any money out off it Run Birmingham into the ground ?
As good as it would be to see Palacios and/or Ramsey ina West Ham shirt, we all know that Josh Brownhill on a free is the more likely signing.
Only way am believing this is if Alvarez or Paqueta is being sold and even then doubt he would want the move.
That will be we tried and failed DS crap
Sullivan would quite happily flog Paqueta and Bowen if he can and sign cheap Salthouse clients if any to save face. He is a fraud of an owner and not a real fan if the club he moved away from our real home.
We have become a club with no credibility and zero class and ambition under Sullivan’s watch and there is no way that Palacios would end up at the LS, we can’t even sign a midfielder from the Belgian league.
It’s just a typo. We’re after any ex Palace players without a contract.
More chance of them signing me at the age of 69! Load of BS, does Sullivan really think our fans are stupid enough to buy this! Heāll of Ā£25M plus add ons for a player worth twice that and whine āwe triedā
Go go go Sullivan put in your two bob offer. This geezer is deluded. Does he still think we donāt know what heās up to?
We aināt buying him we aināt buying anyone. Straight down to the championship thatās where we are going with the midfield and goal keeper weāve got.
Exequiel Palacios Is world class. Canāt see it happening. Mind you weāve made a few cheap some might say astute signings in other areas so maybe thereās a bit of dosh left over for a big signing or two.
Sky Sports are up there with the Sunday Sport in terms of credibility
They put out more made up rubbish than anyone else as they have a whole tv channel they need to fill with it
This report is untrue a We have no money B Sullivan would never have heard of him š
Sky Sports are up there with the Sunday Sport in terms of credibility
They ut out more made up rubbish than anyone else as they have a whole tv channel they need to fill with it
You can say that again!
looks like another smoke screen while we sign an eight million pound keeper
Yay! Another day, another midfielder linked, another player we wonāt be signing.
