Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 26th July Part Two

The Hammers are also interested in West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie, 32, after deals for the Nigeria international to join Crystal Palace and Fulham fell through.

Full story: Times

What’s the story? Again, West Ham looking at strikers who are pretty much of the standard that they have already. Whatever happened to Sam Allardyce’s ability to pull out completely unexpected signings from overseas? Does he have to just sign other Premier league club’s cast offs nowadays?

Does it make sense? Not really. He can offer some decent attacking threat but it’s just not a necessary signing. He might be a bit of pain too.

Is the price right? Less than one million. Any more is too much.

Will it happen? 7/10 – West Brom want rid, West Ham are getting desperate.
