Saint Charlie Posted 6 June, 2015 Share Posted 6 June, 2015 33 goals in 10 years at a club level. Ada forward to. Deffo give a wide berth Sounds like a Pelle style targetman. Played well enough to get called up by Italy this season and the Sampdoria Manager said he this year that he had wasted his career til this point but had the potential to be one of the best strikers in Italy. Seems like an odd ish one, but if we did get him then surely wouldnt be in for more strikers, ie Austin as this guy, like Pelle is a no 9. Unless Pelle or Long may leave...

Looks a James Milner type player hard working decent player who can do a decent job in a number of positions. However I doubt this one will be a fans favourite as he seems solid rather than spectacular mean the majority of the mugs on here will think he's sh*t and be slagging him off before his fifth start.

But looks like his main strengths are pace power and running with ball. To me his mobility is very interesting though after having to endure pelle and lambert running at pace of a slug, this guy could definitely offer a differant dimension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersonic Posted 6 June, 2015 Share Posted 6 June, 2015 Sounds like another jozy altidore This is a very accurate comparison. See also Lukaku. Great physical attributes, incredibly frustrating as he should be doing better throughout his career. Don't really think we need him if we're keeping Pelle. Far too similar players IMO.

Lighthouse Posted 6 June, 2015 Share Posted 6 June, 2015 Milner will be a decent enough replacement for Gerrard but I'm not so sure the Scousers will be happy with that. He'd struggle to get into a top 4 starting 11 and that's where most of their fans will want to be. On a side note, I'm astonished that he is only 29. Could have sworn he was playing for Leeds in the Prem about 15 years ago, thought he was about 33 by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 6 June, 2015 Share Posted 6 June, 2015 Song would be an immense signing as he's had a great season for West Ham. Really makes things tick and he's still only 27. For £8 million it'd be a bargain and IMO we should be in for him anyway whether Morgan stays or not. (Though I accept he's going!) Song and Wanyama would own our midfield. Would he rather stay at West Ham though? Make it happen Ron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 6 June, 2015 Share Posted 6 June, 2015 Am I the only one who's not 100% on Alex Song? Admittedly a very good player but on his own terms - don't think he's industrious enough to fill Morgan's shoes as he puts in a lot of work defensively that I don't think Song does. Plus £8m is a high fee considering his wages would be massive as well. Surprised he's only 27 though, seems like he's been around forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 7 June, 2015 Share Posted 7 June, 2015 Song would be a superb replacement for Morgan. Experience in the league and looked very good for West Ham earlier on in the season.

Jesse Pingman Posted 7 June, 2015 Share Posted 7 June, 2015 People on here say they want Clasie as a Morgan replacement. Dutch media are reporting there's a decent chance Van Ginkel will be sold by Chelsea this summer, as he wants playtime and he'll never get it in this Chelsea. Before his knee injury he was a bigger talent than Clasie, who was kept on the bench in the youth EC of 2013, and rightly so. Different type to Clasie. Van Ginkel was described as somewhat of a young Frank Lampard. A real box-to-box player, he does his defensive work but he can score goals as well. Clasie is someone who will most of the times stay behind and try a longball or longer pass. I think he's worth a punt, he can get to a level that's out of reach for Clasie, who can be good but never top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
