The Daily Mail are reporting that West Ham are attempting to lure Graziano Pelle to East London as an Andy Carroll replacement! Should we go in for him? He is 32 but may be still able to do a job for us and get us out of this current mire.

Thoughts?

 

Bit late now, but I think it would have been a good idea.

 

I'm surprised Chelsea haven't been linked.

We shouldn't have sold him in the first place but unfortunately the economics of football won the day, as they do in 99 percent of transfers. Great player for us when he was here, but both parties have moved on, would hate to see him at WHU though.

Keeping a player who obviously wanted to leave didn't exactly work with Virgil did it.

 

I liked Pelle and he still seems to keep an eye open for Saints, so I hope he doesn't end up with that shower of sh*te. Having said that would be a typically West Ham signing - Big wages on a short term stop gap, just because he happened to look good at another Prem. club for a while.

I'm not sure that Pelle was all that desperate to leave. I think it was more a case of the club taking what they saw as the last chance to get a big transfer fee for a player over 30. He always seems a fairly laid back chap who'd be happy whatever. Paying him a big salary for a loan or short contract would certainly cost less than the 19 million + salary we paid for Carrillo. The Chinese Super League season runs from March to November. Getting him on loan for a couple of months until Austin is fit to play again would have been a good idea.
