Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

[Col_M]

Surely there can’t be that many strikers who average worse than 1 in 4 in the Prem?

have you met Lucas Maura?

 

[King of Otters]

Rasiak?

Current strikers, rather than notorious flops...

 

[King of Otters]

have you met Lucas Maura?

You think Haller and Moura are comparable players?

 

[Blockbuster]

Thought what Haller said on AjaxTV was a bit cheeky towards west ham... be fuming if that was a former spurs player

Following confirmation of his move Ivory Coast international Haller, 26, told Ajax TV: "This is a club where I can compete in the Champions League and chase titles every season and it's that winning mentality that suits me."

How about ole Sebby you score some goals and win some games eh?

Haller is 26years old with 2(?) yrs left on his contract. That’s NOT a good deal. Players go up in value until they plateau or get injuries. Jordan treating it like a secondhand cars, rather than a house. Can you imagine an estate agent telling you to sell a house you paid £400k for to his mates for £200k less than two years later?

Players are worth hat teams are willing to pay for them. If turnover for clubs goes down then they can't afford to spend as much on transfers.

Given the current situation a lot of players value will have gone down.

More chance of this now he doesn't play for West Ham.

Just 3 Goals

He averages 1 goal in 4 games. That’s not a bad return compared to many

Watched him a few times - It just seemed to me he couldn't be arsed most of the time.

Tres nonchalant.

 

[Nine while nine]

For the price that West Ham paid, you'd have expected Haller to have joined the list of West Ham Premier League strikers who have scored 20 goals or more in a season. As it is, he didn't hit those heights and so the list reads as follows:

1. -



Oh dear.

Linked to Josh King, Giroud and Graziano Pelle. That's not really upgrading.

Giroud would be.

 

[Hakkz]

Giroud would be.

Yeah, for like this season only. Can't see him last much longer.

 

[Marty]

Linked to Josh King, Giroud and Graziano Pelle. That's not really upgrading.

King would be a far more like-for-like replacement for Antonio when he gets injured again, they won't have to change their style if King comes in.

Giroud is a far superior player to Haller short term, which any deal surely would be.

Pelle would be a mad one so hopefully that's what they end up with.

King is the best replacement in the sense that Haller was supposed to solve their striker problem for years. Giroud and Pelle are there for max 1 year.

 

[spurs mental]

Giroud would be.

He'd do well there. Wouldn't want him playing for them.

David Gold has also had to sell his FA Cup, which I know was his pride and joy: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55586021.

Not sure why he isn't mentioned in the article, but I guess Karen has their hotline with her Apprentice work.

 

[Kingellesar]

Think Chelsea would be silly to let Giroud go when they are struggling to get returns from Werner and Tammy, they are in 3 competitions so will have plenty of time for Giroud to play, I'd argue he is better than Werner and Tammy at the minute.

Can't see West Ham paying what Bournemouth want for King, so I think Pelle is the only option. Go get him West Ham.

If the house is rotted then it's not hard to imagine

I don’t disagree. What I disagree with is the spin that they didn’t lose any money/value from the deal.
