Spurs are this morning being reported as having joined the Hammers in the race for Javier Hernandez.
Despite Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal appearing to take the Mexican into the Reds fold for the season, nobody appears to be taking him very seriously.
West Ham remain in pole position to sign the striker and are still not taking van Gaal’s change of heart on board given he was ready to let Hernandez go to Real Madrid for £7 million at the end of last season’s loan spell.
The Dutchman apparently believes the 27-year-old can make his first team but is playing a dangerous financial game as with the player in the final year of his contract, every game out of the team or on the bench reduces his market value.
And if, as expected, the club sign another striker, that is is likely to become a more familiar scenario.
According to Sky Italia, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed an interest in signing Hernandez as an occasional partner to Harry Kane.
But West Ham, are continually monitoring the situation and may be ready to top the £9 million already offered given Andy Carroll’s continuing injury woes.
Why am I not surprised, lol. Spuds do this every season just to be annoying… anyway it seams like there are alot of very good options in the striker department with little pea, Austin, Remy and countless more we have been reading about I think any of those would boost our talented but thin and injury prone striking options
Im thinking that Mr Bilic might also have a secret ace up his sleeve that is yet to be revealed he will be more tuned into the eastern European leagues and of coarse Turkish league so maybe they have a guy or two who on his radar
The waiting is always the hardest part though and it gets a bit worrying if nothing happens in the next few days… But I have a new found belief in our owners and manager which has been earned by the great work they have been doing the last year or 2 – The Davids will get someone in I have confidence in that, we will just have to be patient 🙂
Totally expected when it comes to the spuds that they should be after the same players we are,lol,but maybe we should see it as a positive that we are competing for the same players as them now.Wouldnt have been the case a couple of seasons ago.
I bet Levy follows DG around the supermarket snatching things off him before he can get them in his trolley lol
Ahaha… Like it 😀
hahaha wouldn’t surprise me quick !
Haha he reminds me of a sneaky little goblin
His price is going to become silly,drive the price up and then let the spuds have him for £15 million,
There are others out there we don’t need to get desperate yet,
