West Ham’s transfer window is now starting to warm up nicely. After a terrible run of results they got a super win at fellow strugglers Cardiff. But that result alone won’t keep the fox from the chickens in terms of Premier League survival.
We think that West Ham need to invest big time. There was talk this week of Joleon Lescott moving to West Ham for a massive salary. Despite the cost of such a move he would be an absolute gem of a signing. But that one remains distant right now.
West Ham also, obviously, need to improve their front line. Andy Carroll is back but some burden needs to be taken off his broad shoulders. Recent reports have suggested that Southampton’s England international Rickie Lambert could soon be joining West Ham. You’d have to say anything does come that would be a real coup for the club – a struggling Premier League side signing a player who could well go to the World Cup with England – whatever you think of Big Sam he’s got some brilliant contacts from his years in the game.
Anyway bookmakers SkyBet now have West Ham as odds-on favourites to sign Rickie Lambert during January. He is not getting enough gametime at The Saints and his priority will surely be to get on that plane to Brazil.
The England striker has scored a remarkable 99 goals in just 191 appearances in Southampton. SkyBet have the player at 1/2 to join West Ham in the window.
Let’s see the lad banging in the goals. CLICK FOR RICK
