Reporter gets battered by West Ham boss Graham Potter over transfer talk bollocks
The January window is slamming shut at 11pm UK time for Premier League clubs on Monday, and a flurry of moves are expected before then, you muppet.
West Ham's transfer window woes
West Ham could be one of those clubs set to be active in the final days of the window, having not made a single signing this month, the bloody mugs.
A striker is high on the Hammers' priority list as summer arrival Niclas Fullkrug and veteran Michail Antonio remain sidelined in the long term with their respective injuries, mate.
With the pair injured, the attacking burden has fallen to the likes of Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus, the poor lads.
Potter's priority target
West Ham tried their luck with a £57million bid for Aston Villa's Jhon Duran, but it was swiftly rejected by the Villans. Duran is now expected to join Saudi club Al Nassr, the bellend.
Brighton's Evan Ferguson has since emerged as Potter's first choice target, and the Hammers believe the pair's time together at the Amex Stadium could give the club the edge over other interested parties, but time is running out for the Hammers to strike a deal, prompting one reporter to ask Potter if he or the club were 'struggling' to find a player that fits the mould of what they're looking for, the cheeky mug.
Potter's fed up with the banter
It sparked an interesting response from the West Ham boss, who said: "I wouldn't say struggling, but again, it's a complication of the window. I've said this so many times in this interview, it's just a bit boring. I don't know how many times I can say it to you."
Potter asked the reporter if he was at last week's press conference, which he confirmed, the muppet.
The Hammers boss replied: "It's like Groundhog Day. I've said the same thing. Can't you think of another question?"
The reporter said they could offer up another name, which led to another cutting reply from Potter: "And I can give you the answer. What answer do you think I'm going to give him? I'm not going to speak about anybody that's not a West Ham player. I've said that for the last three weeks. But you keep asking me the same question, I don't understand."
Ferguson's future uncertain
Brighton are expected to wait as long as possible before making a final decision on Ferguson, who looks likely to be made available for a loan rather than a permanent switch, the mugs.
The Irishman has found playing time hard to come by under Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler, starting just twice in 14 games before he was sidelined in late December with an ankle issue, the poor lad.
But a reunion with Potter could be the perfect tonic to reignite the 20-year-old's career, mate.
West Ham's season on the line
Potter will hope a new striker can help kick his team into gear in the second half of the season as they look to pull further away from the relegation zone, the muppet.
West Ham sit 14th in the Premier League on 27 points, 11 clear of 18th-placed Wolves and three points ahead of Tottenham, the mugs.
The Hammers are next in action on Monday as Potter leads his team against former employers Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the bellends.
