Any news on Traore yet

[palerider]

While it appears that the work permit has been granted, although nothing official, I don't think Traore has agreed terms yet. There's also the medical, international clearance and the fact that he hasn't played since October making me think that this isn't such a great deal after all.

Allardyce was not at his usual press conference today with McDonald saying he was on 'transfer business'

Rickie Lambert ?

Probably better business for the immediate future if over-priced. I think it may also be West Ham stalling on the Traore deal if one for Lambert is a go-er.

Is it only me who is thinking that maybe it's us who is holding the deal up now things could be moving along regarding a certain Rickie Lambert ?

Hammers ‘hurry up’ on Traore
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on January 17, 2014 in Features, Whispers

TraoreWe’ve had a couple of well placed people ring us this afternoon with news of the Lacina Trahore loan situation.

It seems that despite all the well publicised and so called “problems” over fitness and injury, the club are looking to get things sorted by perhaps as early as next Monday.

The facts are that the guy is on a pre-season break from the Russian League ahead of joining Monaco and thus isn’t up to speed as far as PL fitness levels are concerned …but there’s no injury worry!

The second call we received said the club was confident of doing a deal at around £45,000 a week or just over half a million quid for the three months.

News leaked out of Saints this afternoon that no player will be allowed out of the club in January which appeared to end any chance of us landing Ricky lambert thus adding urgency to the Traore situation - [url=http://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-hurry-

Talksport are reporting that we've stalled on the deal whilst looking at other options and Everton have now approached Traore now Jelavic has left.

His work permit was approved Tues morning.

Here we go again.

We're 1/5 at Skybet to sign Lambert which is a bit weird considering the saints have come out today and said they won't be selling anyone.

Bookies always right???
Who knows?

How many loan players can the PL have? the Blue Half of The City of Thieves already have Lukaku

Maximum 2 from other premier Lg clubs, not sure on the amount from overseas because it was changed recently due to Watford having 17 from Udinese & Granada.

Nah Everton would surely have to wait 3 or 4 months before they can apply for a work permit so I'd reckon that's all bull.

"Work permits are issued under the Home Office Points Based System for the 2013/14 season.

Following the successful work permit appeal hearing West Ham United became the sponsor of the playerd on the work permit – Lacina Traore.

This is not transferable without the permission of the club and the Home Office. The club would need to submit a change of employment application to Home Office to change details on the work permit.

Any other club would not be able to make a fresh work permit appeal as rules forbid hearing appeals for the same player within a four month period."
