Placating the fans by a fake show of intent.

Not that hard to look decent compared to the shower that's already there.
Allardyce always brings in few names from abroad, just look at last season: Rat, Petric, Adrian, Nocerino, Boriello, Razak, Armero. None of them really made much of a difference.
Lol I guess so, but I do think Zarate will be a good signing...
He only needs to be better than Carlton Cole. :lol:
Lol true but after last season not sure we can afford to laugh at them!
I hope we make a a serious attempt for him
Really hope we are in for him too. Would be perfect for our left hand side. Him, Eriksen and Lamela behind Ade would be very effective I think.
That trio has everything - pace, guile, versatility and even a reasonable amount of work ethic. I think it would work behind Soldado as much as with Ade too.
If these reports are true and West Ham are genuinely after Konoplyanka, then I can only see them ending up as a stalking horse.
If he is allowed to leave, other clubs will be interested. Better and bigger clubs. Maybe Spurs, Liverpool, Utd, Atletico Madrid and Roma (who have all been linked). I'll be very surprised if all of them let West Ham have a clear run at signing the player. Even more surprised if he was to choose West Ham over other likely suitors.
Not a story that I'm going to lose much sleep over.
I dont want us to sign him but i think we will.
Why don't you want us to sign him out of interest?
