I'd rather buy no one than give the pornos £12m notes for their donkey.

I think he would do pretty well in the championship and played upfront instead of wide fwiw

He has problems staying on his feet in the Premiership, how you expect him to survive in the Championship I have no idea. At £2m he may be worth a risk but £12m is just taking the piss. Seems a very strange signing if it happens.

Agree it's very strange. Don't know where this £12m is coming from although I have no idea about the fee.
The news coming out this afternoon does make me think somethings in it as when I was told his name was not mentioned at all.

oh and the Turkey that is Mica could be off  to Turkey. There would be a pleasing symmetry in that.

Pretty much every RDM signing has been right on the money, buying Valencia is would very underwhelming, go and get Hernandez.

Valencia has a terrible goals to games ratio, he's absolute garbage and is a downgrade.

That's just shitty journalism from a shitty site who have put him being unhappy at being substituted on Sunday together with us after a forward, and that's all.

Saw that and the article looks like it's been more or less copy and pasted from the Readwestham site. Wouldn't believe a player who has scored only 4 goals in each season for West Ham would be anywhere near our radar.

Well it's very weird that I was told about this and then news is coming out today about it now. I'm afraid there has to be some substance behind this one. Either that or me/press are being fed a red herring to distract from someone else

I've not really followed how he's done. I had the impression he was pretty good. He cost £12m when he arrived, which is probably £15m+ today given football inflation.

But he seems to have scored four per season for two seasons. Hernandez please then.

I think he'd be good in our division. I'd be happy if we got him. It's not a superstar signing like Mario, but he could be a good fit.

I've read we only have tomorrow to get Hernandez as he flies out on Friday for international duty and will only be back after the window closes.

He's not garbage. The reaction is way over the top. I agree the 'world class' reference is over the top, if it's referring to him, but he's a pacy forward and could do a good job.
