    "Gomez to West Ham in the balance"

    If you were Maxi, and you were to see our last 3 performances, wouldn't you think twice about joining a bunch of losers.
    I'm pretty certain that at his age it's more than just about the money.
    Win medals and the money takes care of itself.

    BREAKING NEWS
    West Ham have rejected an offer from Dutch club Heerenveen to take Reece Oxford on loan until the end of the season.
    Sky Sports News have been told “the players is now prepared to see out his contract until 2021 because of the politics surrounding the player and the way he has been portrayed."

    Wonder what that is all about? ;hmm

    BBC report says they are unsure if the deal will be completed in time this window but there are so many reports I am unsure of which report to be unsure about or is that a double negative overall I am unsure ;lol

    I don't know anything at all about Maxi Gomez, but anybody described as a burly front man is alright in my book.

    Let's get him in the team along with the cat-like goalkeeper, rugged left-back, craggy centre-half, imperious midfield general and twinkle-toed winger.

    Ade, have you been reminiscing, cos' it sounds like the 1964 team you'd like to see:

    Jim Standen, Jack Burkett, Ken Brown, Bobby Moore, Peter Brabrook, Sir Geoff

    ;lol

    And that just led me onto this:

    Gomez deal off, according to Spanish media outlet that claimed earlier today he had signed.

    Random speculation ;wahoo

    According to SSN we’ve agreed £3.5M for Perez to Real Betis, rejected £7M from Valencia for Hernandez and are trying to get Batshuayi on loan.
    No more mention of Gomez.

    Guardian reporting we want him on loan, Chelsea want to sell. Everton are interested, but Chelsea want £35m (that's more than they paid for him).

    Maybe he wants to prove a point. I think there's been a disgusting portrayal of him by the ITK community, using words like "poisonous", without any kind of evidence being brought up apart from the fact he wanted to play senior football. Same language was never used against Rice as he asked for higher wages and left Ireland hanging. Rice had the right to those things and has been treated well. I've never seen any evidence to justify the way Oxford has been spoken about. He might've wanted to move for more football, especially after Rice overtook him, but I don't see what's wrong with that. To me, that statement, if accurate, reads like he wants to show he isn't a bad kid. I'd be ecstatic if he managed that and was even 2/3 the player Rice is.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    That reads to me that he is happy to take the money. If so the "poisonous" claims may have some validity.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Why wouldn't he get the money on loan?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    If he goes on a free then he gets a huge signing on fee.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Have I missed something? Why would he go on a free?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    If he sees out his contract.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    So he is planning to see out his contract and leave on a free in 2021 which means he loses 2 years playing time?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I don't know but it's been reported that Pelle said he should go to get playing time.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Or should have got his nut down to earn playing time here

    I think there's a more obvious meaning to what he's saying then the idea that he's going to wait two years for a signing on fee. By which point, having not been bothered about playing, he might not get much of a signing on fee.

    Pelle has spoken about him having a lot of competition but maybe he sees how understocked we are beyond Rice, Diop and Balbuena as the first options and thinks he has a chance. Maybe the way he's been spoken about makes him want to prove a point.

    Just remembered we let go Collins for nothing.
