What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

I would like to see West Ham table a 40 million bid to secure the services of the Genoa striker Albert Guðmundsson

A complete striker, very technical and a set piece specalist

Over to you...

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

I see we are being linked with Thijs Dallinga, as I suggested last week.

Would likely suit Moyes, which brings mixed emotions as I want him out, but if he is staying…

ED - Take your point ref Toney and putting aside who our manager might be - Depending on price, personally I would def take Toney, no he's not world class but he's a very good player and could be very good for us for 4-5 years. But ultimately do I think we will sign him? Nope.

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

Gibbs-White is an excellent player, would be very interesting to see him under Moyes and how he would adapt to playing in a position that doesn't suit his best qualities.

I think people go way OTT on Toney, he's a very good rather than being a top quality striker. Arsenal should be aiming for better. As for us, at the money being quoted and given FFP, it'd be a terrible signing, a 28 year old with no sell on value? He absolutely stunk the place out against us

As many have said, it all depends on who's here. Genuinely no point signing a striker under Moyes, he's been trying for 3 years, and as I've said at the start of the last 2 seasons, come the end of the season, we'll be relying on patching up Antonio come the run in. I've been 100% right.

Cant see Toney going anywhere other than Arsenal. Seems to be the missing piece in their puzzle. Much better goalscorer than Jesus and Havertz.

Solanke would definitely be an improvement on what we have but how much would he be costing us now? 50 million?

Signing him in the summer would have been ideal when many were turning their nose up at him. See from the comments below some still do!

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

We seem to like going back in for players year after year... I see that Sevilla are letting En-Nesyri for £17m. I can imagine getting him at that price.

Can't see any way we get Toney as Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs will be all over him.

Morgan Gibbs-White would be an ideal replacement for Paqueta... can't see him going to a top six side so we have to be in the running... would cost a big proportion of Paqueta's fee but good age and very similar type of player.

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

Someone like that tall young exciting Italian No. 9 fella, whats his name, Scamacca or say that entertaining acrobatic goalscoring Frenchman I think goes by the name Haller. Yeah, they'll do...

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

I just googled rhe Gudmundsson bloke

About 1 goal in 3 appearances for Genoa. He reminds me of Bowen *a bit*!!!
Runs in behind.
Right foot and headed goals mainly
Pretty good. More suited to our team than Scamacca was.

Serie A defending not as tight as Prem.

You'd like to think the scouts know about him wouldn't you

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

To be fair to Sullivan, Toney was recommended by Barry Fry when he was playing in League One, not the Championship. It's a big step up from there to the PL. If it was that obvious that he was going to be a top player then Newcastle would have kept him instead of selling him for peanuts to Peterborough after 5 mediocre loan spells at various League One clubs.

Barty 5:17 Sun Apr 7
Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

I bet Sullivan Will be reluctant to sign Toney for big bucks after he rejected the chance to sign him years ago when he was recommeneded to him when Toney was in the championship

Sullivan said Toney wouldnt make it in the premierleague back then

Thank God we got a director of football now

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

I keep hearing we’re in the running, if not favourites to sign Toney! Who knows

See us buying Dominic Calvert-Lewin for 3 grand and Ings going to Everton

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

We are á quality striker and á quality allround centre midfielder away fróm being á top 4 threat next season if we keep our best players imo

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

If we don't mange to jettison negative Moyes, Tammy Abraham would fit Moyes system well

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

Barty, I hope we sign him just so we can sing “Fortis Ioanidis, I looked everywhere…”

Phall Throw 9:02 Sat Apr 6
Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

Realistic targets I'd go with what others have said already, Toney or Solanke

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

What's the point in spending an arm and a leg on decent strikers when Moyes will ruin them with his unadventurous style of play. Who in their right mind would sign for us knowing they'd be on their own forty yards from anotger teammate waitng to be kicked by a couple of hairy centre backs? We signed two decent strikers and Moyes turned them into shadows of their former selves.

Barty 4:47 Sat Apr 6
Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

I just read the Greek striker Fortis Ioannidis ís being linked today

What á name! "Fortis"

Anyone know anything about the lad?

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

I’d rather Toney than Solanke. Seeing as we need homegrown players and most of the best alternatives could cost almost as much, I’m expecting we’ll go all out for Toney.

Outside of homegrown, Santiago Gimenez, Brobbey, Guirassy, Openda, Thijs Dallinga, and Jonathan David will most likely be targets.

Just hope Moyes is gone so whoever we get doesn’t become a huge waste of resources yet again.

Matthew Holmes 9:03 Fri Apr 5
Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

Don't have a good record of developing. So we need a striker ready to hot the ground running.

I'd take Toney if we could get him for 44 to 55mill.
Hopefully less

Also we need someone to develop into the next striker so we don't need to blow 55 mill again in 4 yrs.
Someone like Gyokeres a year ago or Toney 4 years ago etc

Barty 5:20 Fri Apr 5
Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

Of course it matters

Re: What striker do you want to see West Ham sign in the summer?

If Moyes is still here, it really doesn't matter.
