Traore for 16 million

[sherwoodmag]

He played against us for Anzi in the Europa last season,looked a decent player but he didn't score and we beat them.

Anzi were a bunch of mercaneries and the finances seem to have gone T1ts up this year that's why they are selling their best players.

I bet he's the longest in the shower.

Not wishing p1ss on everyone's fireworks because I'm as desperate for us to sign a decent player as anyone else but . . . . . .


All this has come from a single rumour in a newspaper and only one of them (The Mail) at that. The Ba & Lambert rumours are in several papers but even social media is relatively quiet regarding this Traore link, nothing reported in Russia and nothing in France which is where I would expect the news to start.

Has just singed for Monaco'

so step 2 is he comeing to us

[sherwoodmag]

West Ham have agreed a deal to sign 6ft 8ins striker Lacina Traore on loan.

The Ivory Coast international has joined Monaco from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala but the French club will send him straight out on loan until the summer and the player has agreed to join West Ham.

The ?16million-rated striker will travel to London for a medical but West Ham must await a work permit hearing before he can be declared officially theirs.

Its 11.30 and Ive probably had too many Stellas but surely if he fails the work permit process for us in the U.K. then he must fail the same process to enable him to play for Monaco, France being a fellow EU country where the same rules apply or do they ???[/quote]. Monaco although a Principality play in the French League,the Ivory Coast are a former French Colony so probably allow their players in.

Monaco now want to keep him. And he wouldn't get a work permit anyway, the same spin we were given with Zapata.

But at least they tried so that's ok then.

I wonder who they'll next ask Barry to phone to prove they're trying, Lionel Messi ?

Yes they are trying. Very f#cking trying.

Maybe we'll get into Europe via that f_ucking song contest then if he does end up at UP.
