Apparently Maripan may be heading our way? Any truth Eds?
Have noted his frequent press releases/ apparent desire to come to premier league + friendship with Diop, it sounds reasonable to me but just wondered if possible?

{Ed002's Note - As I have said, Guillermo Maripan (CB) the very much preferred option but as I have previously explained, discussions are already in hand between Alaves and Roma - so West Ham would need to act quickly and figure out a way to persuade the player that a move to East London is more attractive than a move to Rome, but he remains the preferred option and with Roma in a bit of turmoil with the coaching situation, perhaps we can see something happen.}

Thanks again for the quick and accurate response 002 -in your opinion are his 'leaks' regarding Diop/ Premier League simply a way to boost his fee/ wages wherever he ends up?

{Ed002's Note - Sorry, I have no idea what he has said.}

Glen the friend of diop you refer to is actually Christoper Jullien of Toulouse. I remember reading that article but I've never seen anything specifically linking him with west ham.

Haha, fair enough! It's silly season with so many players linked, hard to keep track of them!
Is Julien any good?

I'm unsure I don't think we are actually looking at him. If you compare stats on say a website like whoscored I would say Maripan looks a lot better.

I'm impatient to see who we actually have some concrete interest in that is also a likely signing.

We were looking at a young promising polish keeper according the various sources. Now today with no warning we sign Roberto a 33yr old Spanish keeper on a free.
