Having seen his attempt to sign Bafetimbi Gomis from Swansea City thwarted by the player's assertion that he's going nowhere, Sam Allardyce is being forced to look elsewhere if he wants to bring in attacking reinforcements. The manager faces the possibility of a late sale of Enner Valencia to Chelsea according to newspaper reports - which are given some weight by the fact that they've cleared out two spaces in their squad and signed only one player - and Andy Carroll is injured again (though not badly), so new options are necessary. Sky Bet have now moved the Hammers to 5/1 favourites to sign Emmanuel Adebayor from Tottenham where he is apparently available on loan, suggesting that it is Allardyce and not Harry Redknapp who will sign the player on a short term deal. That would be a good move for West Ham, though whether he would be happy to sit on the bench behind Diafra Sakho remains to be seen. Should West Ham sign Adebayor?
