STM Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'd do a straight swap Shelvey for Hernandez like. I'd rather be scrapping around for a centre midfielder on loan than a striker. As grim as this whole farce is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'd do a straight swap Shelvey for Hernandez like. I'd rather be scrapping around for a centre midfielder on loan than a striker. As grim as this whole farce is. Beggars can't be choosers, but I really don't like Hernandez and fail to see how he fits into Rafa's system. That said, our strikers are utter shite and none of them fit, either Not that we would get him. They supposedly want good wedge for him and he's on what, £120k a week?

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I really don't want to lose any players, but if Rafa wanted Hernandez and West Ham wanted Shelvey plus a fee (yes, I know swaps never happen) then I'd probably go for that through gritted teeth. Massive, massive risk though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Problem is Hernandez record this season is shite, no better than Gayle's. Obviously we've got to trust Benitez if that's what he wanted to do but I'd be worried personally that Hernandez would offer us little more than we already have. Plus we'd have lost the option of Shelvey in tight games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take too much notice of his form this season tbh. The West Ham fans I've spoken to this season have been bemoaning him being misused. Even then, for him being a supposed flop, he has 4 in 12 starts, which isn't terrible by any means. 28 goals in 45 starts at Leverkusen as well.

Interpolic Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Aye, Bilic was playing Hernandez on the wing wasn't he? Despite him clearly being a poacher who needed to be near goal. I'd rather we stayed clear of tiny strikers though tbh, it's getting harder and harder to accomodate them in the modern game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think it's at the point now where, as fans, we need to do something more, a concerted effort, to drive Ashley out of this club once and for all. It's absolutely ridiculous that we have an owner who has no desire to spend money on his investment, and will happily, by the looks of it, let it wither and die. This is the worst possible time to show supporter unreset against the current owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, our strikers are utter shite and none of them fit, either Well that's the problem. We've got two big strikers who can't score goals, and if you are playing with one striker he really does need to be a goal scorer. I suppose Hernandez would be an upgrade on Gayle whose our version of a pure goal poacher. There's better options out there, but we won't pay what it takes to get them in.

54 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 FC Utrecht hopes to strengthen itself with the Frenchman Massadio Haïdara. The 25-year-old left back with Senegalese roots is allowed to leave Newcastle United, where he has little to play. The defender previously played for Nancy, after which in 2013 he sold 2.5 million to The Magpies. There the former youth international signed for 5.5 years until next summer. Haïdara has to follow Edson Braafheid at FC Utrecht who emigrates to the United States Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
