Right. In the past I've never thought we had a chance of re-signing him. Whenever he's moved he's gone to clubs far bigger than us. However.... West Ham have just confirmed that they are currently holding talks. I know that he will command a big transfer fee and hefty wages but could he be just the signing to give everyone the feel good factor needed for what could be a difficult campaign? If he's willing to go to West Ham then surely he'd consider a bigger club with European football like us? Any thoughts?

I know of 100,000 reasons why we wouldn't even be in the queue to talk to him.

we have enough forwards

no chance

 

we'd have to sell someone - i.e. Diouf or Anelka

 

and even then - big transfer and hefty wages

 

plus Sam has got enough strikers

 

plus, a positive results on wed will be enough to give everyone the feel good factor, assuming everyone's feel good factor was killed by saturday's performance?

Would be good but not a cat in hells chance of seeing him back at bolton

?6.7m fee

?100,000 a week over 4 years

 

total of around ?30m.

 

Still think we have a chance ?

Are West Ham going to be the new Leeds?

Are West Ham going to be the new Leeds?

I doubt it. Egghead's loaded, Ridsdale wasn't.

cue a reply from the happy hammers

Would break the bank to bring him back

Yes it would , so it will never happen

We should get him signed. Him and Sol Campbell. If not Sol Campbell, then John Terry. In fact why didn't we put an offer in for Torres before he went to Liverpool? This club's got no ambition!

I doubt it. Egghead's loaded, Ridsdale wasn't.

Eggy is a rich man but he isn't loaded, at least not loaded enough to bankroll a football club. His business partner Bj?rg?lfur Gudmundsson is though, and he owns 95% of West Ham now.

 

Eidur has stated he wants ?100k a week. According to ITK's we have asked him for an answer today after offering him ?80k. A huge amount of dough. From a purely football point of view I hope it happens.
