10 goals in 13 league games in Portugal this season and West Ham paid £22m for him.

Last season he was on loan at Gil Vicente, scored 5 goals in 20 games and Gil Vicente decided to sign him permanently this summer (6 months ago) for £250k...

I've never seen him before so can't judge his ability, but it reeks of utter desperation. I don't understand how you can't tempt Gil Vicente to sell for any less than a 10,000% profit in 6 months. Their previous record sale was £7m.

It's literally less than a week since I was recommending on here that we sign that lad.

Look at Gyokeres.... can't score for toffee and he has a goal a game in that league

& the managers ain't much better...

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

They’re also signing a massive tatey @Mackem00

I think the way forward in jan is rather than getting your pants pulled down is loan in someone who has fallen out of favour after a big move.. Like what happened with ELF.. Try before you buy

 

[Daniels]

Adama Traore too to create things for them. Really not convincing from them so far like

I swear he is a money laundering scam.

If your chief scout suggests you sign Adama Traore, that has to be instant fired on the spot.

Someone short of minutes who wants to make a world cup squad

 

[Bear]

Wouldn’t touch a striker from the Portuguese league

Be same as signing Shankland

That fucka has the best job in the world

 

[Mboma]

They've had to get a striker or two in for the it's the last roll of the dice for them as they barely have a foward in the first team squad.

If anything, it shows you just how important it is to get recruitment right in the summer as January can be a minefield of unwanted/unproven punts due to clubs being unwilling to sell their best players halfway through the season.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Stinks of desperation

 

[Mowgli]

I've just read that fullkrug has gone on loan to Milan with a 5m option to buy. They paid 27m for him

Apparently Liverpool looked at him last year but thought he took too long to have a shot so opted against signing him.

 

[SuperSub]

Was reading that they have teamed up with that agent Jorge Mendes and the signings are his recommendations. He seems to follow Nuno around.

 

[MustardAndOnions]

I don’t really get the comments on this thread

They have to try something or they are going down

Aye, few comments about desperation... because that's exactly what it is.

Yep exactly this

They can’t just think “well we should have done this in the summer” they just have to get on with it and get who they can

I don’t think they will But if West Ham found form the league would become very very interesting

 

[wrighty]

It's literally less than a week since I was recommending on here that we sign that lad.

So not only do we need to worry about other clubs snatching our recruitment team, they’re after our message board scouts as well!
Troubled times

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Yep I guess but signing nobody not the answer

Having lived in Portugal a fair bit my view is y senior player still playing their will not be good enough to make the move, they have like 4 good sides but some others are like third division standard it’s a strange lesgue

They aren't beyond staying up - there's been teams further adrift that have managed it in last 20 seasons a few times.

It's the terrible relationship between board, fans and players that's their biggest issue imo.
