West Ham fans have got an idea in their heads that bringing in a striker needs to be one of their priorities, and whilst having some extra goalscoring firepower would come in handy, it shouldn’t be the priority, and it doesn’t seem like it is, after reading an update on Gabriel Barbosa.
Agent is pimping him out left right and centre so they are keen to drum up interest in him! Inter want to sell where as we preferred a loan move. It’s not dead dead but isn’t close at the moment https://t.co/VyfAu0eufE

The young Brazilian striker who has been dubbed Gabigol because of his goalscoring exploits in his home country has been linked with a move to the Premier League and to West Ham. but ExWHUemployee has given the fans some news on that potential deal, saying it’s very far away.
It looks like a lot of the fans are pleased with that too. The young Brazilian may have been Flamengo’s hero this season in the Copa Libertadores final, but he flopped at Inter Milan and as far as the fans can see, it looks like attitude problems are agents could get in the way of this working.
Gabigol?
Sign. Him Now.
Don't bother! Not European proven
You can read the fans’ thoughts on Gabigol here:
I hope we steer well clear of him. Trouble, and we need that like a hole in the head.

I don’t understand why agents let a transfer go so far then just halt it and look for any last minute interest. Surely they never find any otherwise they’d of not let the transfer progress at all

They’re not going to pay any transfer fees this window, are they? Preparing for life in the championship?

Hope this doesnt turn out to be usual saga that drags on for the whole window and ends up with no new midfielder coming in.

I knew it wouldn’t happen when they wanted ££ for him

The Irons are seemingly pleased that Gabigol isn’t likely, even if it is clear he has goals in his locker.
