If the rumour mill is to be believed, which it should not! West Ham United are reported to be interested in signing Alexandre Pato, yet another injury prone striker, although the player is supposed to be signing for Chelsea imminently. You couldn't make it up could you? Well actually you can if you write fro the Daily Mail, apparently Hammers are lining up moves for Pato, that old chestnut Demba Ba as well as Emmanuel Emenike. Of that trio, only Nigerian forward Emenike in any way fits the bill, the 28 year old was on loan from Fenerbache at Al Ain in Dubai but has been recalled ahead of a move away to Europe. Eminike's agent has been in London to discuss a potential move to West Ham United on an initial loan until the end of the season with an option to buy for €10 Million, there are other clubs interested in Emenike but apparently Hammers have the edge in getting his signature because of Slaven Billic's knowledge of the player from his time as manager in Turkey. If Emenike does arrive at the Boleyn, it will herald the departure of Mauro Zarate and possibly Nikita Jelavic as well, both players are on other team's radars, with Jelavic in particular being offered a very lucrative contract in China, Zarate is rumoured to be on his way to Fiorentina for around € 3 Million as he is apparently unhappy at being so low down in the pecking order at the Boleyn despite the injuries to the main strikers Diafra Sakho and Andy Carroll. Some fans may question the wisdom of signing Emmanuel Emenike as an additional striker when the club already has Diafra Sakho, Enner Valencia and Andy Carroll, but if nothing else this season's crippling injury list shows just how quickly, to use an 'arryism', a team can get 'down to it's bare bones'. - Ed

Sounds like the zarate move
Sounds like the zarate move is as good as done. For me that does feel a striker will come in.lets hope whoever comes in can be a definate hope to the cause
