Co-chairman’s son Jack Sullivan gives a hint that summer transfer target Michy Batshuayi is a firm favourite in the Sullivan household. Last night the youngster tweeted a picture of himself in a Batshuayi shirt.
A Marseille fan recently asked the 22 year old striker whether the rumours about West Ham were true.
His answer in French roughly translates as ‘I don’t know, it’s not really my problem right now’, as Batshuayi looks to put the rumours behind him until the end of the season.
Hardly a denial was it!
I completely agree Fletch! I would love to see him with us next summer, this Belgian is some serious stuff – He will most likely feature in the EURO, competing aside Lukaku and Benteke (I know.) amongst others.
But why do we mention it to this extent? He signed a 5 year deal with Marseilles last summer(!) and now it just seems we are pushing up the price, warning our rivals – he has been linked with Arsenal and Spurs last years – and possibly dissapointing fans if it does not happen.
Whats the point? Is it something I don’t see here??
Really hope this transfer comes off! Although I think after this photo the west ham hierarchy & their kids should stay completely quiet on this player as we don’t need a tapping up storm with the very club we to negotiate with to get this player, let alone putting the idea into rival clubs thoughts more than it already is.
For me this photo says #1 summer target confirmed! (which is music to my ears!) but IMO they’ve already said more than enough until he’s actually signed a contract with us.
*FINGERS CROSSED!!!*
Is he p1ssing on the bathroom door?
Well hes either batman or batshit…we have a few boy wonders at upton park
First things first get a shirt with Lanzini on it and get his autograph on a contract like we were promised in February
Then get this young man alongside his mate Payet what ever the price,
