Many West Ham United fans on Twitter are feeling down after the latest update from club insider source ExWHUemployee on the social media platform.
Not confident https://t.co/JLehqt3UNs

When asked by a fan whether he thought the Hammers would be able to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Sebastien Haller, Ex stated that he wasn’t feeling confident.
And members of the Claret & Blue Army reacted with an outcry of disgruntlement, some of them angry at the source for claiming there was interest in the Frenchman in the first place and others generally frustrated with the current striker situation.
With under a month until Manuel Pellegrini’s men get their 2019/2020 campaign underway at home to Manchester City in the Premier League, they have just two senior centre-forwards.
Italian journalist Nicolo Schira of Gazzetta has claimed that a £36m deal had been completed for Haller and that he is to sign a five-year contract at London Stadium.
Check out the pick of the reactive Tweets from upset Hammers, below…
What’s the point in putting out that we’re interested in Haller but not confident of the deal happening? Just makes us look even more desperate than if we just said we weren’t interested at all

Just tell us we’re resigning Calleri. Put us out our misery

Why’d you tell us he was our top target and that we were trying to agree a deal then? What’s the point in getting our hopes up only to crush them 20 minutes later? Rather you didn’t tell us tbh
