I mean I don't disagree. We do need to at least add 1 player up front if we're getting rid of Janssen and Llorente.I just don't see the point on getting this guy. He's a right footed LWF/Forward. I can't see him being on the same level as Son, so why not just use him as backup? He's 5ft 9 so hardly a presence up front. Why do we insist on these punts from France?
Levy rummaging through the bargain basement again...
If 27 million is 'rummaging through the bargain basement' then I think we have lost touch completely with reality.
arent west ham willing to pay just players not willing to come, dont forget the manager maybe a draw and this guy maybe a lanziniIf West ham are interested then let them have him. We need better than this guy.
have to agree players that fit our system rather than how much they costarent west ham willing to pay just players not willing to come, dont forget the manager maybe a draw and this guy maybe a lanzini
Plea is a pellegrini buy and may well be worth the money. Dismissing a player because west ham are interested is ridiculous.

The Twitter link I looked at regarding West Ham going after Mr Plea was broadly ridiculed by West Ham fans who know that their board becomes all 'Charlie Big Potatoes' every summer and Gold/Sully/Brady go for the headlines to try and sell more season tickets.
Is this guy headline making? I'd seriously never heard of him before we were linked?

Article is a year old, but you get the gist of it...he seems to be improving still.
I’d much rather we buy players we can’t afford and won’t get too...Even in this article praising him the author suggested Southampton was his level.
Overall I can see why we are considering this guy, ticks a lot of boxes - injury concerns aside - but he doesn't really seem to fit the profile we set out for this summer. If we do sign him I'll back him and hope for the best.
If we start to get ITK on a serious CM upgrade like Kovacic or Milinkovic-Savic I think people would get more interested in us signing this guy.
I'd much rather Malcom if we are making a signing from Ligue 1 however, or a Fekir or Rabiot if possible for us.
I must say I'm shocked at the amount of professional scouts we have on here

I'd never heard of Henry before the filth signed him. Just saying.
