Current situation on a few transfer targets.

 

Veloso

 

We are trying to tie up a ?6 million deal for him in the next few weeks and Sporting seem keen on it but him and his agent arent too keen and are trying to get a "bigger" move.

 

Distin

 

Has other options and is very unlikely to come to us.

 

Sean Davis

 

Battling with Wigan, Blackburn and Sunderland to sign him on a free.

 

Paul Robinson

 

This is most likely of the four to happen for obvious reasons.

 

Come on you whites

i've just read up on him and he sounds like a decent prospect. can play in midfield but more of a winger who can create and score goals. accordingto wiki named 40th in the top rising footballing prospects in the world

 

at least we are being linked with the players in the positions we need i.e. midfield, striker and defenders.

 

i'm sure meggo has lots of players he has targeted thanks to the clubs new and improved scouting network

Probably maxed out his stats on FMEditor anyway...

Quite nippy

1207 BST - Stoke are in talks with West Ham about signing striker Dean Ashton. (Sky Sports News)

 

notwithstanding recent injury issues; wouldn't he be good for us?

Now Ashton would be a fantastic signing!

Good player, but another with a total lack of pace.

 

For that reason I am out.

Apart from a Goalkeeper, not sure who else we could be linked with???

A very poor mans Michael Owen, always injured and nowhere near as good.

 

No point in signing cripples

I'd sign 'em both to be honest

Why waste money on decent wages?

 

You'd get 10 games out of both of them for the season, I'd sooner we sign Jason Roberts than any of these two.

I know you can never be sure but that's what fitness tests are for and these 2 are in a different class to Jason fuckin' Roberts

The difference is though, Roberts would fit in immediately. His physical nature and his pace would be what we badly need.

 

Both Owen and Ashton are better techincal players, but I can't see our direct approach better the best out of either of them.

Any chance of an exchange deal involving our star Swede?

I think Owen's pace would work well with Elmander and Davies supporting and both him and Ashton are goalscorers - something we're missing - Roberts hasn't consistently scored in the top flight.

 

Although I wouldn't moan at any of 'em to be honest

Now Ashton would be a fantastic signing!

1 goal in 3? nearly as bad as elmander, no forget that comment no one is that bad.

Quite nippy

 

dogged tackler too.

Thought it had gone?

Compared to our front men

 

He might not be lightning anymore but he's still quick from what I've seen

Ashtons record is deceptive

 

How many full games has he actually played for West Ham?

 

He is living on a reputation made in about 15 games for West Ham about three years ago

 

He's always injured, and in truth he's unproven

I think he's still going off the fact he came from Crewe's production line miself

If Ashton was that great (and that fit) WHU wouldn't be binning him - let's be honest, they're not exactly flush with strikers.

Or money; is that why they're getting rid?

Fair point...
