Rayvin 5220 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Few places reporting that West Ham have given up on Defoe.  Now's the time for him to submit a transfer request.  Dunno actually, thinking about this from West Ham's point of view, the money is getting significant now. They may conclude that they can pick him up in the summer, for nothing, and on lower wages.  Moreover, if Defoe hands in a transfer request, all the negotiating power is back with West Ham. They can turn around and say 'actually we'll only give you £50k'. It's not like Defoe would be able to undo what he did - so I imagine he might be reluctant to hand one in.

ewerk 30602 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It wouldn't be terribly wise for a club to pull the rug from under a player they've just spent £13m on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I reckon he'll be away on transfer deadline day as that's when it gets a bit mad and desperate for clubs so expect him to be away then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30602 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I wouldn't be sure that West Ham will leave it that long. If they've no joy soon they'll move on to another target rather than putting all their eggs in that particular basket. Apparently they offerd £20m for Dembele from Celtic.

Rayvin 5220 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Who came back and said they wanted £30m  £13m for a 34 year old and £30m for a guy who was bought for £500k over the summer. Fucking hell. Edited January 6, 2017 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13863 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Bilic is probably going for Defoe because he knows he can score goals at this level. Something which his striker signings this season can't. Not sure who else is around that fits the bill like Defoe and that a club would be willing to let go. I can see them going back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It would be just awful if they sold Defoe on the last day of the transfer window and didn't have time to get anyone else in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Dunno actually, thinking about this from West Ham's point of view, the money is getting significant now. They may conclude that they can pick him up in the summer, for nothing, and on lower wages.  Moreover, if Defoe hands in a transfer request, all the negotiating power is back with West Ham. They can turn around and say 'actually we'll only give you £50k'. It's not like Defoe would be able to undo what he did - so I imagine he might be reluctant to hand one in.  They don't need him in the summer though, they need a striker now. Finishing a few places up the league is worth plenty, and Defoe is worth a few spots on his own if he keeps up his scoring return. Also in the summer there will be more players available and looking to move, so they wouldn't be chasing a 35yr old striker, it's now or never for this move.  West Ham wouldn't screw him over and risk the move for the sake of 50k pw.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 West Ham getting smashed 4-0 so far off City. Could lead them to go into the transfer market asap to get reinforcements and to take fans and media's mids off the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I would imagine there would be a nice one-off payment if he signs for WHU,the last one-off payment of his career.As has already been mentioned,his bargaining powers will not be as strong if West Ham stay up and then they come calling again.If I was Defoe,I would wait until the final day of the transfer window to sign,just to fuck them up good and proper.If he did this,and the makems were relegated,a warm welcome for the lad would be guaranteed the next time he visited SJP.

ewerk 30602 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Looks like despite the speculation Defoe seems to be happy with his relationship with Moyes. Â Â One for essembee there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
