BrianPotter Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Its on Teamtalk as well now. Signed a four year deal. Well done to all at the club, an excellent signing. Edited July 28, 2006 by BrianPotter
krislu Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Official Once we moved for McCarthy things where done quite fast. This proves that the player really wants to move to Blackburn, and thats a good thing! We can now calm down a bit as the striker situation looks alot better now than a few weeks ago. I expect one more signing before the start of the season, might well be a midfielder. Happy days! Edited July 28, 2006 by krislu
Shaddy Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Hughes is just trying to balance the squad.... north and south hemisphere
grizfoot Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Great signing We've been after him for over a year so its good to see we've finally got him.
OhmiBRFC Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Excellent, Should do well for us and score sum great goals
Ronin Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Good signing. For any player saying we lack ambition - have some of that! Again proves that Hughes keeps his cards close to his chest as very little seemed to be reported in the press (not including LET), unless I missed it all Just hope there's no silly clauses this time

DanLad Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 What type of attacker is he? Goal getter? Pacey dribbler? Back to goal target man? A bit of everything?
krislu Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Eleven months ago.. But Porto pulled out of the negotiations on Wednesday saying that they wanted more than West Ham's offer of a club-record US$11 million. So his transfer value has gone down by more than 50% in eleven months..
Ricky Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I bet Porto are wishing the accepted the $11m offer from West ham 11 months ago. $11m offer rejected From all accounts he cost us around 2.5m euros so about £1.75m, which is an absolute bargain. I think our three new main strikers are perfectly capable of outscoring our three strikers from last year.

Yan Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 definately improved overall in the forwards situation in my opinion. bellamy was in a class of his own, but getting rid of dikov and kuqi falling way down the pecking order (even though i do like him and he's good for a big lumbering powerhouse type). 2 proven goal getters, 1 with everything to prove and 2 good young forwards. the futures bright etc...
Radagast Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Fantastic, here's hoping he settles in quickly. The striking options look a lot rosier now.

Timmy Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 great signing! now whats the point of Jeffers anymore?
doctorryan Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 It might be fun to see what they're saying on the West Ham boards today.
Radagast Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 great signing! now whats the point of Jeffers anymore? Well, if he proves any use I'd imagine Shefki will be the one in trouble.
greggyk Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 great signing! now whats the point of Jeffers anymore? Well Gally, Dearbyshire nor Johnson will be here by the end of August, so thats the point- we have 4 strikers now. Still need one more IMO as Hughes has already said
krislu Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 It might be fun to see what they're saying on the West Ham boards today. Here you go! They think we are getting relegated and Hughes getting the sack..
