Despite the fact that the deal for Emmanuel Adebayor to West Ham supposedly collapsed earlier in the eveningt thanks to Daniel Levy's reluctance to pay his wages at a rival club (a positive endorsement of West Ham's profile this season), it now looks like the deal could be back on. With Carlton Cole moving on, Sam Allardyce was in the market to sign another striker, even with Mauro Zarate returning from a short-term loan deal at QPR, and it seems that he didn't want to look beyond Adebayor. The striker hasn't exactly been at the top of his game recently with his first team opportunities at Spurs limited, but he could be exactly the kind of experienced impact player who could supplement what the Hammers already have well. Whether he will be happy to be considered in that manner remains to be seen, but he might see his opportunities for playing time more likely under Allardyce. The Hammers are also in talks with Genk to sign defender Kara Mbodji for £4.5m. Whether the rumours are entirely true or not, something is definitely happening as West Ham chairman has just tweeted a conspicuously vague tease... https://twitter.com/davidgold/status/562371302502440960 Would you be happy to see Emmanuel Adebayor at West Ham?
