Eidur turns us down

[dee]

From the Mirror:

West Ham were poised to solve their striker crisis last night by signing Eidur ­Gudjohnsen on loan from Monaco.

The 31-year-old Icelandic marksman has snubbed an 11th hour move by Liver­pool and is expected to fly into England tonight to seal the four month loan deal.

The Merseyside giants tried to hijack Gudjohnsen’s move by matching his ­per­sonal terms that were thrashed out with the ­Hammers late on Friday.

But the ex- Barcelona and Chelsea star was keen to link up with Gianfranco Zola and Steve Clarke, his old friends at Stamford Bridge.

The Hammer’s had made a £2million bid for ­Blackburn’s Benni ­McCarthy, but pulled out of the deal on Thursday when Rovers said they would not entertain a bid until they had found a replacement

Eidur turned us down for West Ham?

I'm not sure if I should laugh or not.

 

[themn]

I didn't know he'd left Barca.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Fuck him after that dive. I guess the miss made up for it though 🙂

 

[Dreambeliever]

Guess he wants guaranteed first team football.

Great player for us he would have been.

Half the strikers in the league would be an improvement on our current set up.

He is a very intelligent footballer and would have been excellant for us. 31 or not.

 

[Hansern]

He has always had pretty bad things to say about us during his Chelsea days.
So I'm really not that bothered.
He hasn't done anything in Monaco to suggest he'd be a step up from what we got anyway.

Fair enough if he wants to work with Clarke and Zola, old Blues mates.

Look out fellas, Yoda's in da house. 😉

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Haha, yoda!

I don't agree with Brendan about ALL our players being slow, but Eidur is very slow. He may be able to compensate for that with a good touch and intelligence, but we need some pace in our attack when Nando doesn't play.

 

[peekay]

The serbian guy who plays in Belgium has also turned us down and is joining Birmingham.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Fuck me, rejected for West Ham & Birmingham.

 

[darkstarexodus]

I had wanted Eidur two or three seasons ago and thought he could have made an impact. Think he's past his best before date now though.

 

[Vlads Quiff]

Perhaps he didn't like being a desperate after-thought, and that if we were genuinely interested we would have made a play before West Ham

[Loch Ness Monster]

Fuck him, he would only be a bit part player anyway. Plus he is too slow. We have enough tortoises in our squad as it is.

Who gives a shit? Cheating, slow-arsed, past-it, Chelsea cunt

 

[SaintGeorge67]

[dee]

Not one of you bastards laughed at my superb pun in the title. :'(

 

[themn]

Oooooooooooh !

Sorry.

What he said.

I fucking hate Eidur Gudjohnsen.

 

[ILD]

Total cunt. He admitted to getting Alonso booked that time too.

Aaaaah. Very good.

Though 'Eidur-down he says to Liverpool offer' would've been more tenuous but more obvious also.

 

[Jack D Rips]

But DB thinks he would be a great addition

We've been turned down for West Ham before remember? Recently, said fat cunt lasted 4 months at Everton. So there you have it.

[The Nomad]

A washed up 30 something Iceland player who spends most of his time in Midfield now?

No thanks!
