I suppose we either didn't make an offer or they thought we would go higher. Now it's getting closer to the window shutting, they've been forced to accept a lower offer so they have time to get a replacement in.
Signing a potential striker makes me feel nervous, surely AC / Hernandez / Arnie is enough (assuming Hugill goes) it makes me think we are losing another striker unless that's Antonio which is he goes for 15m I will facepalm...

SSN :West Ham have had a £27m bid for Uruguay's Maxi Gomez turned down as manager Manuel Pellegrini steps up his search for another striker, according to the London Evening Standard.
The Celta Vigo man scored 18 goals for his club last season
No issue with buying for the future, which I think those three signings would be.
But yeah, DM should be out No1 priority, IMO.
I do think we need another striker. If Arnie gets injured (or sold), we're looking at Hernandez and Martinez as our striker options, neither of which I think can effectively play the Arnie role.
Badou N’Diaye is being linked with Everton. I’ve said it before but he’ll be perfect for us for our CDM role.
Maybe I should ‘do a Baz’ and change my name in the hope we buy him...Badamou? On second thought maybe I shouldn’t, you know, because of Bazshuayi-gate (sorry Baz ;biggrin).
£9.5m up front? That’s pretty paltry IMO. A poor deal from our point of view. I can only think the cash must be desperately needed for something else ;hmm
West Ham are in talks with Benfica over the signing of Joao Felix.
The 18-year-old has been capped 5 times for Portugal U21s.
West Ham have beaten off competition from Borussia Dortmund and two Premier League clubs.
WEST HAM IN MAREGA & BRAHIMI TALKS
Meanwhile, West Ham are also in talks with Porto over the double signing of striker Moussa Marega and winger Yacine Brahimi.
WEST HAM CLOSE IN ON SILVA
Not only that, but West Ham are also close to signing Vitoria Guimaraes forward Xande Silva.
Silva - is in the UK ahead of a medical - has been capped by Portugal at U15, U16, U17, U18, U19 & U20 level. West Ham have a delegation in Portugal - not only to sign these players, but to set up a working partnership with Porto and Benfica.
Is Declan Rice up for the task of being our desperately needed CDM? The money planned to be spent in other areas of the squad we won't be getting the big name quality player to anchor the midfield or will we?
Comments
;hmm
Think we did in Jan, but selling him couldve cost them the premier league money (even though they did)

Based on what I've seen today on Twitter I'm guessing it's the young American lad, the young Portuguese lad and the young Swedish lad.

With the surname being Lad, are all three related?
Is one of them named Shane?
;biggrin

Palace also close to Max Meyer (great signing) and Jordan Ayew (decent signing)
The kouyate move suits all parties I think, so long as we keep Obiang and reinvest the money
I agree Adam I think N'Diaye could do a job

At this rate we’ll have 11 strangers playing together in our first game against Liverpool.
I also think we're still going to need a bumbling box-to-box midfielder to just drive us forward sometimes.
Says we are close to signing him, even mentions that a deal could be done today.
