After scrolling through the news now site for anything West Ham related as I am starved of seeing the love of my life for another few weeks and need some sort of action as watching ireland at Euro 16 is seriously depressing me, I came across a few places quoting that we are 'on the verge of signing' BATSHUAYI.. For ??30.8mill
Now I know that there is a load of shitty journalism going around especially with the amount of players we are being linked with but this kind of makes sense as Marseille must sell in the next 7-10days as they are seriously broke..
I have only seen clips of him on you tube but is he the 20 goal a season striker we need or is this story more silly season stuff?
yea head that as well but apparently the spuds won't meet Marseille valuation and they now want to sell to us.. when will this striker merry go ever end

They all want Champions League football. At least, all the good ones based in France. The only way to get them if you can't offer that is to pay really ridiculous money. What would Lyon and Lacazette say if Sully said 'Ok final offer. 50 million quid and 250k a week ?' The man from Del Monte, he say yes.
And I'm glad we're not doing that. not being held to ransom for a player for whom there's no guarantee of success in the harsh surroundings of the PL where, unlike in Johnny Foreigner land, there's often little protection from the referees and cunts like James McCarthy can kick you at will and put you out if action for 3 months.
Man City are a prime example. 30 million for Mangala last summer. A player who'd have struggled in the Wells U-15 tournament I went to on Sunday. And now they're lining up a 40 million bid for a winger. Probably to replace the 49 million dud they bought in Raheem Sterling. It's ludicrous money.
Yes we have money. And lots of it. Relatively speaking. But if you remember Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. the Holy Grail was hidden amongst a horde of other cups. The bad-guy Nazi picked the glittering one, drank from it and dissolved into dust. 'He chose poorly' said the 700 year-old knight who guarded the cups. Indiana picked the one that looked 'like the cup of a carpenter'. 'He chose wisely.
Lacazette and Batty-boy have always for me been those glittering prizes that may well flatter to deceive. Ok if you're backed by the arabs who can swap them just as quickly as they can their solid gold bath taps. But we're backed by a couple of blokes who sell crotchless knickers and wank mags. Not that I'm knocking them for that but you'll get my drift. We can't not just break, but shatter our transfer record on a punt. Even a good one.
Don't be tempted Sullivan. Go for Benteke. Choose wisely.

You had me gripped right until the benteke bit.lucky it was at the end
beneke wouldn't be a bad signing he will score goals but my fear is how long will it take him to the discover his form.. have we even considered giroud from the Arse??
