Haji- new agency (4 Viewers)

[SleepyGinger]

As a side note in Simms, Asante and Wright we easily have the best striker options in the league.

What if we put in a cheeky £12 million bid for Josh Sergeant?

The story goes that they turned down £20m over the summer!

I’d easily take £25m for Wright.

Going to West Ham now doesn’t make sense though, unless the contract is ridiculous. Good chance they go down and so many strikers fail there.

We are in a strong position with Haji, even if he does want a move, and judging by his last 2 games I would say he doesn't want to leave. However. he is still widely regarded as a talent, and our best player. We'd make a profit if he left in Jan or the summer. And we all know he will probably come good soon and start scoring goals.
If a club offered £12-15 million in January, and we had a striker (say £10 million) lined up. A CF. A proper CF, like Simms can sometimes be then I'd cash in.

Sergeant has scored less goals than Haji this season and is currently injured.

West Ham seem to be looking at Sargant too. It'll all just be the usual paper talk. No worries but the booing of Wright has to stop.

He does have injury issues, but he's one hell of a player. Norwich will sell below the reported £20 million asking fee with their issues this season. I'd take Sergeant over Wright.

Nah!
Sorry.

He is a very good player, but his stats this season don't really support that. Same with Haji which partly explains premier league interest.

As much as I like Haji, he fits the mould of a West Ham striker signing (Hugill, Scamacca, Zaza, Haller) in that they’d probably over pay us (25-30m), he’d score 2 goals in 40 games and in Jan 27 be sent on loan to Besiktas.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Much more plausible because Josh Sargent very much wants out.

 

[SkyBluePower]

Considering Vik went for £17.5m (initially), any bid of +£25m and I imagine Doug will even throw in a 50th Anniversary Shirt (#1/1975) for free.

Haji is a good Championship striker, but he isn’t even close to Gyokeres’ and is wildly inconsistent.

It was a life changing amount of money for the club and set us on the course for where we are now. We also famously didn’t sell Vik in January - and we were a lot further away from the Prem than we are now.
£25million is still a massive amount for us but if we blow this and don’t go up we are looking at a major rebuild with Wright, MVE and Rudoni surely all leaving ( and Frank maybe)
Would give us an enormous mini parachute war chest but we have seen from this season how that sometimes goes…

Pochettino wouldn't! We'd be absolutely mad to move Haji on this side of a World Cup, his value could really sky rocket if he does well there and we wouldn't be able to afford to keep him anyway. Even if he doesn't get a game he's become an international regular while with us...
