Crysencio Summerville- Leaves for West Ham confirmed

[The Subhuman]

Did I imagine it or did he already play in the PL.
Nice finish at Anfield I seem to remember.
Maybe it was a dream.

Yep, he's played well in the prem on his limited appearances

Sad to see him leave, but all the very best to him.

The Liverpool interest was reported by Dutch outlets and Romano himself.

Maybe he was 2nd,3rd,4th choice and Liverpool are still waiting, who knows.

But despite the desire by some to talk Summerville down I don't believe West Ham were the only interested party.

We know Brighton had an offer turned down for a start.

We know Newcastle had a nibble as well, The Athletic said so.

So I don't think it was a lack of interest, maybe West Ham decided to act first, maybe the London factor, maybe snake Kinnear helps his old bosses

It's irrelevant now, just not sure why so many want to talk our best player last season down.

It could just as easily be the case that the club did not want to sell him - until their hand was forced by a contract release. Who knows we have half a story, rumour and gossip for the most part. I am sure some facts behind the mechanics of the sale will emerge, if for no other reason than to dispel the conspiracy theories.

Tbf we have absolutely no idea who his agent spoke to, how many clubs, plenty of reputable journalists have reported interest from all over the place.

La Liga, Bundesliga, Italy

I'm sure much more interest than Just West Ham.

Maybe he didn't fancy a move abroad? Maybe like many he fancied a move to London, maybe he was waiting for Liverpool (which did come from reputable journalists) but they aren't buying anyone atm haven't signed a soul.

In the end what we do know for a fact if we take the club at its word is we had 0 say, the Red Bull and Gray deals despite what they said gave us 0 negotiating power and that was total pr nonsense.

Wish Jimmy well, needs replacing as a matter of urgency imo.

i think 26 mill plus add ons is a fair price, and I think most championship clubs struggle turning down such a bid, especially if the player wants to go - nothing to suggest we didn't negotiate our position well. One good season in the championship doesn't make a player world class. There was clearly a lack of interest (to bid beyond 26 mill) - as otherwise he wouldn't have ended up at west ham for this price!

I think the club is doing pretty well this transfer window so far and the squad is in a good position if we can sign another winger.

Probably not the first time you have had dreams about someone called Sumemrville banging one in.

That’s a very good attempt young man.
I’ve put a dot to dot book in the post as a reward.
