West Ham Fans Divided Over “Baffling” Bid

West Ham United’s transfer policy is back under scrutiny after a reported bid for Corinthians winger Wesley Gassova.

West Ham has a reputation for puzzling signings, with names like Simone Zaza, Havard Nordtveit, and Marco Boogers often cited as examples. The appointment of scouting chief Tim Steidten was supposed to herald a new era, but the interest in Gassova has many fans questioning that notion.

The 19-year-old Brazilian possesses undeniable skills – lightning pace and impressive dribbling ability. However, concerns lie in his lack of “end product,” with reports suggesting poor finishing, passing, and crossing.

According to Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola, West Ham’s €15 million offer for Gassova was rejected by Corinthians. This has sparked widespread criticism, with pundits and fans unsure what’s more baffling – the bid itself or the club’s refusal. Former Brazilian international Neto even mocked the situation, offering to personally deliver Gassova to West Ham.

Despite the current negativity, some argue that Gassova’s young age allows room for development. With dedicated training, his finishing and passing could improve. For the reported price tag, some believe it might be a risk worth taking.

The jury is still out on Wesley Gassova. While his raw talent is undeniable, his lack of end product is a major concern. Only time will tell if Steidten’s gamble pays off, or if this goes down as another “baffling” West Ham signing
