‘Bargain’ Argentinian attacker altogether a more appealing Hammers option

Nayef Aguerd does look like the most likely ‘early’ sale on the horizon: Linked first with a pointless Juventus part-exchange, then yesterday a low Roma offer reputed to be about £15 million, it does seem as though the market is finally rousing itself to take ‘West Ham’s want-away’ – well, away.The first exchange mooted by Juventus was pretty smartly swatted away by West Ham, who have no interest in exchanging Aguerd for Daniele Rugani , a 30 year old defender who is past his peak in every sense.However news from Italy today suggests a more juicy offering could soon be on the table. Calciomercato report that Juve are willing to part with their 27 year old Argentine attacker Nicolás González: Indeed the outlet claims West Ham have already been in touch:“The right price? Around 26/27 million euros, a bargain for a player of this level. So far there have been some timid interests – from France, with De Zerbi’s Marseille, from the Premier League with Brentford and West Ham”.The Hammers have enquired about González, Juventus want Aguerd: I’ll leave you to join the dots on that one. It would ship out Aguerd and bring in a forward who is still at his peak for one thing. Whether Nicolás González is seen as one who can fit Potter’s system is indeed another. One to watch next week.From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds’ stand these days I’ve been watching since ’03 and a supporter since about 1970.. Don’t take my comments too seriously, imagine we are having a chat at half time over a pint at L S and “let’s disagree without falling out”.
