June isn’t actually far away: twelve weeks and all that transfer nonsense starts again. West Ham need to complete the signing of at least one striker, probably two in the summer.
On a tight budget, that will be a tough call given how Premier League clubs are falling over each other to find ‘the next 20 goal hero’.
Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap has long been a favourite of Claret and Hugh readers who seem to think he is perfect for the Hammers.
Which may, or may not be true but West Ham will find themselves behind some pretty heavyweight competition for Delap’s signature if Ipswich Town are relegated.
Certainly Chelsea and Newcastle United are both admirers of Delap’s finishing prowess. as are West Ham – searching for a permanent solution to the front man issue that has dogged West Ham for years – this would I believe be the 55th striker signing of Sullivan’s tenure at the club.
However, as far as Delap is concerned, West Ham are likely to be disappointed as revealed by David Ornstein in nytimes.com/athletic who feels sure that “Chelsea aren’t his only suitors. I suspect there’s a good chance his next move is to a Champions League club”
And who can blame him.
Of course we want Delap. At the right price though. Anywhere south of £5 million.
He humiliated Chelsea so they will buy him just so they don’t play against him. We should do the same with Callum…
Rubbish article totally pointless.
I read that man City have a 20 million buy back clause with ipswich so 2 ways of looking at this 1 he goes back to city,s squad for 20 Mill or they buy back and then sell for double their money. Either way we’ve got no chance
The catch is….there’s no story here
and the winner is Callum Wilson
The biggest catch is we have sully at the club. So there was never a chance.
