‘Mediocre’, ‘Think its a joke’ – Many West Ham fans react to latest top targets


Many West Ham supporters have been reacting on social media to claims of who our latest top targets are thought to be.

Club insider ExWHUemployee shared early on Sunday that the Hammers are now turning their attention firmly toward Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic and West Bromwich Albion’s Salmon Rondon after Celta Vigo secured their La Liga status for another year.

FC Porto’s Moussa Marega is also said to be on the shortlist of options who could bolster Manuel Pellegrini’s’ attack next season, but is not currently considered as the preferred route or even as the second choice.

Reports in Portugal, though, suggest we are already showing a willingness to trigger his release clause and feel it is now certain he will be moving to East London in the next few months.

Closer to home, reports are also claiming we are making waves in triggering Rondon’s release clause, too, as the uncertainty over Rafa Benitez’s contract is keeping the door open for other clubs to snub Newcastle in the race for his signature.

The club making efforts to sign Marega, or at least the reports of such, would make sense, though, as the Daily Star claimed over the weekend that Mitrovic would be open to staying at Craven Cottage and help Fulham secure an immediate return to the Premier League, even if manager Scott Parker would not stand in his way if he wanted out.

It’s said that sources close to the Serbian forward suggested he would let Fulham’s board decide whether he is sold in the summer or not.

That could mean we face the prospect of targeting the men who began the window as our third and fourth choice targets, but for now, here’s how some of the fanbase reacted to moving on to our second and third choice strikers…
