teblin Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Ok just looked at his stats, has played 70 times for west ham (most of that will be in the Prem) and has only just turned 33. Surely he's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 I'm just surprised that so far we've only bought in one player who you'd class as not being back-up to what we've already got. Demel would be the same, he's a short term signing to cover a few positions which Wasyl can do. I'm uneasy at not striving to improve on the first eleven we currently have, which automatically will pad out the squad at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonezy Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Isn't he very versatile and can cover most defensive positions? An experienced squad player on a free is not the worst thing that could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artursteppe Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 I am under the impression that we have a few young players, including defenders at the club ready for development. It may be that some of those are already 'earmarked' for the first team in a year or two. There is also the chance that new young potential can be brought in to develop at any time. My impression is that this is the long term plan of the club. It is low cost, and could work brilliantly. We are the new Barcelona, I mean as far as adopting this type of policy is concerned, that is how they have done it ( plus spending the odd few million on top, which we could also do as and when required ). If the plan works, there is no harm in bringing in short term, experienced players to mix with the younger first team members. This could be genius!

ElusiveEd Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 He's a big bast*rd ain't he? What's the issue with having back-ups for positions? (If indeed, thats what he would be) It gives us competition and choice, It's a free, the money for wages is there so why not? Seen some tweets and comments from WH fans who are wholly praising him. Maybe yet another non starter but I'd welcome any new player to bolster the squad. I trust our scouting team and. as NP stated, other signings are on the horizon.

Callabinho Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 I'd imagine he would come into to play CB, however it's a left sided player we need, The only area I am genuinely worried about is our back four, it could really let us down next season and we will not be able to approach every game with a "we will score more than you" attitude. I'm not convinced Wes will be able to hack it unless he has a young whippersnapper along side him? Too often we left men unmarked in dangerous areas last season, and conceded most of our goals that way, carry on in the same manner and you could probably double that amount next season.

Happy Fox Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Experienced player and adds competition at the RB slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 I cant remember Pearson ever making a signing that had people creaming their pants. They always turn out to be jizzfest but the initial excitement is usually minimal. This guy would be perfectly decent cover at rb or cb. He's pretty quick too which seems to be what most people wanted. For a first year back in the Prem it would be a solid enough signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Hope this is a joke. Perhaps SAGA are about to sign a sponsorship deal with us? Miguel would be a younger and better alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Miguel would be a younger and better alternative. Younger maybe, little to show the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatness_Since_1884 Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 If Liam Moore is going to have a proper push at securing a CB spot, then we need a back up RB. I'd trust West Ham fans when they say he played well so I wouldn't be disappointed in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 Having read some West Ham fans opinions seems he would be good actually. Although he is apparently slow on the turn. I take back what I said. I am now anxious for signings, sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 15 July 2014 Share Posted 15 July 2014 I'm glad some people on here aren't in charge of our transfer dealings. People need to realise that FIFA and football manager aren't real life. People need to get realistic about our signings. A back up right back on a free, who played 33 pl games last year and won't cost the earth in wages seems a good deal to me. I find some comments hilarious. Why cant people have faith in Nige, his signings have generally been excellent. We don't want to go back to the Sven days and just sign 12 players for the sake of it and nearly ruin the club. Stop panicking and leave Nige to do his business. If by 1st September we haven't added any more players, come and talk to me. Until then, stop ****ing whinging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
