So who are West Ham trying to sign?

[golden_blunder]

"We are looking, long-term, for a 20-goal-a-season striker," he said.

"There's a possibility that a striker will come in on loan, with the option to buy, within the next seven days. He's an overseas striker.

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe it. I can't tell you which league because then you'll know exactly who it is.

"We are signing from a very strange league. But he has played in higher leagues."

Funny league? Tevez?

 

[Robbie Boy]

Resigning Demba Ba.

 

[van der star]

Giovinco?

 

[Damien]

Can't see there being any chance of Tevez going back there.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Gignac is playing in Mexico actually, could be him.

 

[golden_blunder]

Resigning Demba Ba.

It's hardly unbelievable though

 

[Robbie Boy]

It's hardly unbelievable though

Nope not at all.

 

[mav_9me]

Pato?

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

RvP?

Long term rules that out... Pato would be my guess.

 

[golden_blunder]

RvP

 

[golden_blunder]

Pato?

Wouldn't describe Italy as a funny league

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

Drogba ? doubt it at 37. Plays for Montreal and is banging the goals in for fun at the moment.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Wouldn't describe Italy as a funny league

He's not playing in Italy.

 

[Stobzilla]

Wouldn't describe Italy as a funny league

Brazil.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Wouldn't describe Italy as a funny league

He's back in Brazil.

 

[van der star]

Wouldn't describe Italy as a funny league

He's playing in Brazil.

 

[Ish]

Wouldn't describe Italy as a funny league

Pato is back in Brazil iirc Geebs

 

[golden_blunder]

He's not playing in Italy.

Yeah I know, what the feck was I thinking. Damn head cold

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Asamoah Gyan?

 

[Ish]

Asamoah Gyan?

Good shout but he'll be expensive the money grabber $$$$

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Drogba ? doubt it at 37. Plays for Montreal and is banging the goals in for fun at the moment.

Retired didn't he?

 

[Snow]

Pato is the only long-term prospect of the players mentioned so far. I'm thinking it's someone known but not super well known.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Asamoah Gyan?

No chance. He's on like a gazillion pound a week.

 

[Ish]

Del Piero would be way too old (if he's even still playing in Aus)

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Fairly sure it is Pato. Ticks all the boxes.

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

Asamoah Gyan?

Dont think he suits the "If I told you, you wouldn't believe it.'' part.

 

[Damien]

Asamoah Gyan?

Wouldn't really call him a 20 goal a season striker. He's only achieved that in the UAE

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

Retired didn't he?

Ah totally forgot that. Saw his statistics from 2015 and assumed he was still playing.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Pato or van Persie

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Wouldn't really call him a 20 goal a season striker. He's only achieved that in the UAE

True.

Dont think he suits the "If I told you, you wouldn't believe it.'' part.

I'd be fecking amazed, personally.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

What about Ronaldinho.

 

[Ish]

West Ham signing Zlatan now really would be unbelievable!

*though age and strange league isn't on his side.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

RVP. He will be itching to get back to London.

 

[Nickosaur]

Wouldn't describe Italy as a funny league

Hey gb, Pato plays in Brazil now.

 

[The White Pele]

Robinho?

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Hulk?

 

[Scorpy]

Van Persie would be my guess as well.

 

[Kostur]

Gignac is playing in Mexico actually, could be him.

Good shout, he's 30, went to Mexico for money but with new TV deals WHU could give him a good salary, he's a good striker and linked up with Payet back at Marseille so he's got good references from him I'm sure.

 

[Maagge]

How is van Persie long-term?

 

[TwoSheds]

Rivaldo
