Pablo Fornals - signed
|
|
West Ham United is delighted to announce the signing of highly sought-after Spain international attacking midfielder Pablo Fornals.
A creative, technically-gifted playmaker with an eye for goal, Fornals joins the Hammers from Villarreal, for whom he has excelled in both La Liga and the UEFA Europa League.
Fornals, who becomes the second most-expensive signing in the Club’s history behind Felipe Anderson, has signed a five-year contract, with an option of a further year, after undergoing a successful medical at Spire London East Hospital.
Just 23, the Castellon-born player has already made more than 150 senior appearances and will join up with Manuel Pellegrini’s squad after representing his country at this summer’s UEFA European U21 Championship finals.

On the wages wheelchair is on it wouldn't have been unreasonable to get the whole of Wiltshire chucked in as part of the deal as well...they can keep Swindon though 😉

Seen him a few times. Would be really delighted to sign him. Skillful young player with bags of potential. Hopefully plays alongside Lanzini

West Ham very close to signing Pablo Fornals now, fee would be around €27m (clause is €30m). A good price for a very talented player. Could well turn out to be one of the better deals this summer.

On Fornals (who might be confirmed as a new @WestHamUtd player soon, around £24m). Brilliant signing, 23yo. In the mould of a FCB midfielder, genius in the pass, drives the ball with quality. Big gaps in concentration without ball but can be added to his game. Winning mentality

Here's a good compilation which, curiously, was only posted 3 hours ago and is entitled "Welcome to West Ham United?"

Looks like a very tidy passer of the ball. We'll definitely need a shit-hot finisher to get on the end of this supply we're going to have from him, Lanzini, Anderson, Yarmalenko etc though.

Don't get to excited yet.
Not confirmed until he signs on that dotted line.

Alright he hasn't signed yet but this is the kind of player that Pellegrini and his team are looking at, if it was Fat Fucking Sam, it would be donkeys like Jonjo Shelvey and the likes

I know the internet is littered with idiots, but I do find it odd that divs like Bob react the way they do over shit like this.
I can't see what Wendel did wrong unless he's a fanboy of ExWHU and is gutted he didn't get in the first?
