West Ham are reportedly close to abandoning their efforts to sign Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville. The 22-year-old Dutchman had an excellent campaign in the EFL last season and was expected to have a significant impact in the Premier League next season.
However, he may remain in the Championship as The Hammers hesitates on the £20m asking price, according to talkSPORT.
Leeds United, recently buoyed by the sale of Archie Gray to Tottenham, which improved the balance sheet, feels less compelled to sell Summerville and can certainly reject derisory offers.
Summerville is just one of a number of wing targets for West Ham, and it’s difficult to know how firm the Hammers interest was in the Dutchman. Left wing would appear to be a position of concern at the London Stadium although right back, striker and central defence are certainly more of a priority.
Maxwel Cornet has failed to convince during pre-season and as things stand, Julen Lopetegui is forced with the less than ideal option of playing either Lucas Paqueta or Mohammede Kudus in that role.
Skint barrow boys lol , he’s out of your pay scale so jog on
West Ham are taking the piss . If they think £20 million will buy Summerville they can Fuck Off . Why would he want to join a Mid table Premier league team at best . Yes Leeds are in the Championship still but he’s worth every bit of the 35 or 40 million Leeds want and due to the fact we don’t need to sell then shove your Offer where the sun don’t shine.
In SULLIVANS world, if a club wants £40 mil we offer £25m, if its £30m we offer £20, if a player was £5m we would be offering £2m , that’s SULLIVAN, it’s all a shambles, its not players who we really want or need its the ones we can get on the cheap, as a club under SULLIVAN we have no real targets, if you dont take our price we just move on to the next face. With our fanbase we should beable to buy players which end up at Villa, Leicester, Fulham, Everton, Palace etc , but we dont as SULLIAN wont pay the price.
Pub team west sham trying to buy Summerville for pennies, what a laugh, like he really wants to go there !Were Leeds United,3 times champions of England,How many the pub team?
Now you’ve taken your rose tinted glasses off and realised you’re still in the Championship.😅
it’s much cheaper living in the past and the championship, isn’t it? that would make Leeds a school side then
West ham, why would he go to west ham? When leeds are favourite to go up,he can be in the orem with keeds in another season said he’s happy at Leeds and wants to stay an not being funny but west ham nevwf improve just float around the sam position Summerville wants a champions leauge side minimum
£20m lol
Let’s be real for a minute, that is an insulting offer to Leeds. They’ll laugh us out the door.
He’s staying at Leeds – don’t believe the clickbait, The price was set high to keep him there.
We’ll leave it thanks! That is hilarious! He’s going nowhere – don’t believe the nonsense; he’s staying at Leeds. They do not want to sell and the price was set at 40M for that reason.
West Ham thinking of pulling out of the deal?…lol…they were never even close. Tight wads
The circus continues 😩
Where does Sullivan think he’s buying in the markets of India or Thailand, its all so embrassing & unprofessional, but its what we have come to expect , the only good window he has ever had was when he had the money from Declan Rice sale. So he didnt have to dip into his pocket..
Summerville’s a very good young player. It wouldn’t surprise me to see West Ham sign him. There’s so much bolleaux being spoken and written this window….that we can’t trust anything that includes the word ‘reportedly’. You don’t get much for £20m these days, so for that price I’d say he was worth the money.
You really need to do your research 20 mill isn’t the asking price for Summerville it what west Ham was wiling to pay leeds instead of the 40 mill we want.
Not realistic in these days of PSR, nobody will be paying £40M because they all need to balance their books or have points deducted. The days of anyone spending freely are over.
At that asking price he’ll stay exactly where he is.
We got £40m for Archie Gray who’s 17 with potential. Summerville was the championship player of the season and he’s still young, hence the asking price being £35m – £40m. Simply, West Ham can’t afford him and believed the press that we are that skint as a club and that we could be had. We had already sold players in Jan and along with the Archie Gray sale and Red Bull deal, meaning we are within PSR, so we don’t need to sell for less than market value, especially as he could be the difference between us getting promoted next season.
Maybe he doesn’t fancy a season in the Championship
Dear Mr Sullivan i would like to refrain from making any more transfer offers as i do not wish for you to be out of pocket and made to look stupid in your attempts on the fans behalf to get players in….Obviously i feel bad about not paying more for my season ticket and wish you would up it by another thousand pounds minimum so we as a club can challenge Palace/Leicester/Southampton/Wolves/Fulham in the transfer market but i am prepared to wait until my son is a pensioner if that is what it takes to get this club competing on that level.
Sincerely yours
A Season ticket holder for 50 years and prepared to pay double or triple next time around to help.
Happens all the time.
Will never learn their lesson.
Just keep rolling out names from tombola ball each time there is a rejection.
Where do these umpteen players keep turning up from they have not been scouted.
After 150-200 linked players we get names that have never been suggested.
What a shambles
Sullivan and co are turning this window into another pathetic window
west ham united,i tight fisted,as they have always been,they want something for nothing,summerville isa class player,he is worth more,than what the hammers are offering,i think that they must of been blowing to much burble gum,
Sullivan as Fagin he’s assessing the situation,the tight bastard
One good season in the championship well done world class, didn’t even get promoted
He was a stand out performer over the course of the season .. the team didn’t get promoted not Summerville on his own .. pay what he’s worth or fuck off 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Stand out performer in the championship, look at what happens to promoted teams shows the level. All three promoted clubs straight back down last season, nowhere near the standard.
Nobody will pay £40M in these days of balance your books or have points deducted, you’re living in a dream world. He’ll stay precisely where he is at that price as nobody will pay it in todays reality.
That suits us fine! We don’t want to sell our best player.
We don’t care if nobody pays the money cos we don’t want or have to sell him pay up od p×%s off
What we need is a goal scoring left winger who can also play as a striker. We need a player similar to Bowen on the left. Antonio could play that role. His best years were probably at Forest on the left wing but not sure he’s got the legs or injury record for that role these days.
It has to be take it or leave it in these days of points deductions for getting your accounting wrong. These days you pay what the books say that you can afford with others affected by precisely the same rules.
What happened to our interest in Smith Rowe from Arsenal? Would have given us great balance with Bowen on the right wing and smith rowe on the left. know he costs a homegrown premium but looks like he’s going to Fulham
Won’t get him for that …to me that’s an insult as surely he is worth 30 …and Imo this is why we struggle with deals….we piss clubs off ..simple…of course you always go a bit below asking price ..but we go way below like half…
