da wazamba： West Ham United made an offer to Genk for Sander Berge before he eventually went to Sheffield United, as reported by Football Insider.
What’s the story?
It is suggested that the Hammers made a bid of £10m for the midfielder, who eventually joined Chris Wilder’s side in a deal that is worth up to £22m.
They were said to be unwilling to go any higher than that price for the 21-year-old, who eventually became the Blades’ record signing, having cost more than Oliver McBurnie.
The Hammers would go on to sign Jarrod Bowen for more than £20m, as reported by BBC Sport, as well as bringing Tomas Soucek in on loan.
Doing their image no good
This latest revelation is unlikely to do the image of David Gold, David Sullivan and Karren Brady any good after it had already taken some hits in recent times.
One example of this was that Sky’s Sunday Supplement were forced to apologise to West Ham after criticising the owners on their show.
In addition to that, they have banned one season ticket holder for wearing a “GSB out” shirt while being a flag-bearer for the 2-0 loss against Liverpool, as reported by The Telegraph.
Is life under Gold and Sullivan really that bad? Maybe this quiz will change your minds, West Ham fans…
It is safe to say that fans weren’t impressed with them judging by the Twitter responses to the article.
News coming out about their ludicrous offer for Norway international Berge is definitely not going to help this image – it stinks of a lack of ambition or willingness to spend the required money for premium targets.
The owners need to find a way to get fans on their side if there is to be harmony at West Ham – refusing to go above £10m for a £22m player is not the way to do that.
Meanwhile, one moment in West Ham’s loss against Brighton & Hove Albion encapsulated their self-destructive nature.
