Possibly. If he does go there it just goes to show we (and Steidten) dragged our heels in wasting the opportunity and an achievable value to get him in the Summer when wasting too much time on Duran and ending up with the German Carthorse instead. Had we done so, our season would have looked a lot different than it is now.

I'd be like a pig in pigshit if we somehow pulled that deal off. Proper, proper Striker and 1 who actually stays fit for more than 5 minutes and regularly bangs them in, even in the Champions League!
Isn’t he about to sign for Milan?

No idea, but Graeme Bailey tends to have a reliability quotient of about 2/10 so it's probably horse shit. But who knows. Would make sense we had some interest.

Any truth to this rumour from Graeme Bailey?

If so, Gimenez is the Striker signing we should be making and should have gone for in the Summer. An excellent all-round Striker and would be at a very reasonable price too.

We will see “The Sullivan Effect” if we, as I expect, sign Silva a 29 year old has been as opposed to 22 year old Brobby. Short termism and repeating incompetent, disjointed thinking of the last 15 years. Will also very likely depend on who is brokering the deals. That, not the player fit or profile, determines who we get. Sullivan is a malignent tumour for the club that has just come out of remission

Ok. I can’t believe that Potter would join without money being there as he simply didn’t need the job and had turned down a load before hand. So let’s have a guess at who will come in before deadline day…
Webster
Banzuzi
Chukwuemeka
Brobbey
Loans and perms… god knows how
Gomes precontract
Oh Sullivan would have told him exactly what he wanted to hear to get him to sign. Before fucking up any potential transfers if he’s decided against it.
we are signing no one I think despite whether potter wants anyone or otherwise. Sullivan is going to gamble again that we stay up with what we’ve got.

Yeah I did see that but still think they will get better in with him moving out but see why it might not be.

In total 270 games, 137 goals, 46 assists.
He's a notably greater 'goal machine' than any other player in our squad and arguably Premier League history....whether he can translate it to the Premier League....different question.
Being a bit generous that, including his U-21 games and goals. For Ajax's first team it's about 1 in 3 (52 goals, 26 assists in 148 games). That said, he's only started a little over half them games so his strike rate works out to about 1 in 2. I always think it's harsh to judge a striker's goal scoring record when he's not starting week in week out. The only time Brobbey's had that was last season, when he was banging them in.
Can cut it how you like really. In the Dutch top flight he's 1 in 2 for goals/assists.
Either way not outrageous to describe him as a prolific.

Mr blobbys agent is mino raiola agency. Mino is hovis. Their big name client was pogba. Id say there is less than no chance of him coming to west ham. I don't like the look of him anyway.

Spurs will get the young Ajax lad. We’ll get Silva a 29 yearold who’s had better days.
One thong Steidten inproved was our deal making but now its back to dither, brinkmanship and insidious behaviour. “The Sullivan Effect” back in full flow.

Why are you even looking at stat’s.? Only thing you need too search for with player transfers is. Who represents them. Then you can conclude if they will lace up for us.

Do we know who is brokering the deal fot Sullivan for this Mr Blobby / Brobby geezer? Who is his agent and do any of Salthouse, Silkman or Mackay have their snouts in the trough? That should give the best indication of whether this deal will happen. Sullivan passed on Gomes I reckon because it was another 3rd party ( not his mates ) that came to West Ham with a potential pre season contract package. I am sceptical of Sullivan mouthpieces saying we were nowhere near a deal.

Romano describes him as a " goal machine "
I think a check of his stats would say he isn't a goal machine.
Just don't see this...across his career (at 22 years old) he's 1 in 2.
In total 270 games, 137 goals, 46 assists.

He's 22 and has done more than OK, is he a risk yes of course.
But the right profile of risk unlike our summer striker signing.
I hope we get this over the line, we definitely miss some physicality and pace up front.
