Very very strong Rumour West Ham want Cardiff City defender Bruno Manga?

They had scouts at Citys games towards the end of last season.

Will be very interesting what bid they make?the wages will be no problem to them.

Decent fee and he will be gone let the exodus begin.

I cant believe this rumour right now, especially as West Ham are without a manager. Surely the club wouldn't target a player without the backing or their prospected manager. I'm not really hearing any movement on who they'll select either.

West Brom I can believe as there was talk in February that Pulis sent a few guys down to take a look.

Doubt they will happen. West Ham don't have a manage so like the previous poster says who can they target a player without a manger? If one oboes, I think plenty more will follow.

Theyve had scouts watching him last season and at the end of the season.

But your right it should be 100% down to who ever is the manager :thumbright: :thumbright:

Marshall Ok, we have Simon Moore. :thumbright:

But if we lost Fabio and Manga that would be really bad news.

deji deserves a chance and has huge potential in my opinion. iv followed his career closely and think hes ready for the step up

If you want to get anywhere ,you don't sell your best players. Simple as!

Re: Very very strong Rumour West Ham want City defender

Exactly.
Where's the 5 mill going to go anyway? To Tan to take off the £130 mill or whatever we owe him?

Manga will go 100%. I can believe the West Ham rumour. The board, led by the chairman decide who comes in. The manager is involved normally but not absolutely necessary, especially if Manga has been a long-term target.

Just hope the price is right (and no silly release clause for peanuts).

Didn't we bring a player in without a manager being in place recently ?

Wasn't it Ravel Morrison ? From West Ham oddly enough.

And Rob Earnshaw was another.

That's what I was saying.


We didn't have to look far to find an owner and board who treat managers with dismissiveness (I just made that word up I think. Sorry!!).

If WH want MANGA and the caprice is right, he will go. And he WILL go.

While I don't agree with the price you think we should sell Manga for. I wholeheartedly agree about Deji. I too have been following his career and I also feel that he should be given a chance in the First Team next season. He had a brilliant season with Wimbledon last year and he was named as their Young a Player of the Year. Neal Ardley has been purring over him and he is desperate to try and sign him again for next season. Even though Ardley thinks that Deji is too good for League 1 & League 2 football. He has got so many good attributes that a centre half requires, he also has pace and in my opinion we have needed a pacey centre half for years. He is very strong, will put his body on the line, has a great leap and is good in the air. I say give him a chance as I think he deserves it for remaining loyal to us for over 5 years, when he could have left a while ago for First Team football at another club. I would like to see Deji playing alongside Manga in the heart of central defence next season, however it may be a bit to early to chuck him straight into the firing line, especially with his lack of Championship experience. Although, he would have a great partner next to him in Manga, who would probably take him under his wing and teach him a thing or two and guide him along.

Bloooooobirds.

I believe West From made an offer when he came to us, so very likely they will be after him again.

Im pretty sure Malky was in charge when Earnie signed, not sure if it was his decision mind.
