Then how to you draw this conclusion?






I disagree with the logic. A transfer target is a transfer target. Not to mention all the;

"We don't need this backup youngster from Barnsley" - John Stones
"If he was any good, he would have been picked up sooner" - Coleman, Lescott, Cah...

Could go on and on.

Time will tell. I do think we've missed out on this one. We need cover and competition at right back and, his value at us, or where ever he went will go up.

On to the next one Bobby lad. Last time we missed out on a full back like this in Naughton, we picked up Coleman.

great point. We missed out on the west ham lad and bought mori instead.

It seems we have a track record of buying better than our targets!

I feel the tension rising here.

This window has potential for a proper melt down yet.

We go out to City and its everyman for himself.

Jan 28th, the morning after what will this place look like?

Danny's probably had to go find the key to the iron ban hammer locked in the emergence do not break glass glass casket.

If I was Martinez though, I wouldn't have went public with my intent, or admiration. The player met with the manager, went elsewhere.

That's why, in my opinion, it's not a good episode for the manager.

To say what though, Byram will get first team action and then when he doesn't play him [Poor language removed] hits the fan.

As a fan I do wish Martinez was very open about players he's chasing so I can find out who were after but we all hate it when other managers talk about players from our club and I know Byram may be a bit of a different case but that's just not how Martinez is and I actually respect him for it.
 
We may have 'missed out' on Byram, but we still need a(nyone) GK and a LW. If Oviedo can stay fit (which is a bit of a gamble), then we dont NEED a backup RB. Thought he played decently there against Chelsea before going off.

Depends if we've got other targets. Plus if it was based solely on playing time, I don't think that we could have changed his mind.

The Evening Standard has reported that Byram is likely to be loaned out by WHU. Jenkinson - on loan from Arsenal - has been an almost ever-present for them this season and, by all accounts, they're happy with him.

If true, it kind of diminishes the 'first choice for West Ham' claim.

Sam Byram was undergoing a medical today prior to joining West Ham from Leeds for £3.7million.

Everton had an offer for the full‑back accepted at the weekend but Byram wanted to think things over and has decided on a move to Upton Park.

West Ham would have preferred to do a deal in the summer as by then Carl Jenkinson’s loan from Arsenal would have expired. However, Everton’s intervention during this transfer window has forced their hand and it is possible Byram could be loaned out for the rest of the season to give the 22-year-old regular football.

This is just like that time Shearer chose Newcastle over us.

This is true. He is from West Ham territory (Thurrock) which is just several miles up the A13 to West Ham. He is going back to where he was born and brought up so that has a big say in his choice. If West Ham didn't show any interest then I am sure he would have come to us. Just one of those things.
 

Should there be such an inquest as to why a would be squad player turned us down?

Surely the bigger picture is Naismith is about to leave and Luakaku's back up is Kone. If Lukaku gets injured we really will be up against it as our defence isn't changing any time soon.

Bad journalism. Tomkins is keeping him out unless he's injured so he won't be loaned I don't think.

Not really, because they would have said to him that Jenkinson's loan ends in 6 months and from then on he will be first choice. We can't make any promise like that, it's not like we're going to sell Coleman in the summer to make way for him.

I was just thinking this very thing.
It confirms within 6 months he will be their first choice right back doesnt it?
