The Telegraph reports that Aston Villa would be willing to allow Stephen Warnock to move to West Ham for free. They are so desperate to get Warnock off the 40K wage list that he is allowed to move for free. This deal won’t generate any money for Lambert but 40,000 pounds will be enough to secure a loan deal, which seems the most likely deal right now.
Our left-back position has been very shaky and right now I’d honestly take Warnock over Bennett, Stevens and Lichaj. But I am not the manager and I’m not being payed to make decisions, but you really got to ask yourself what will selling experienced players do? We need to strengthen I can’t stress that enough. With 4 day’s left I am being more and more worried about the future of the club.
Warnock is also wanted by Wolves and Leeds, however they want to secure a loan deal whilst West Ham are interested in buying.
Iirc, Warnock’s on over £50k a week.
Enough for a loan and another lower league kid, I’d have thought.
Not that I expect us to get anyone of any use in during this window.
got those would it really matter anyway ?
we need quality not quantity
That’s what I was getting at Ian.
2 for the price of 1 isn’t going to help imo.
Benteke is leaving as well in the Summer. Lerner must be happy to get extra money on this investment
Lerner goes on about HIS club and he will do what he wants. Does he really think we will still back his judgement if the club goes down. He should realise that the club is no good without us. I have supported this club for over fifty years but i will not be hoodwinked by a foreigner who has no feeling for the club and only sees it as a business.
