West Ham-fans gaan los over Haller: “Like Mertesacker”

In Amsterdam en omstreken wordt enthousiast gereageerd over de aanstaande komst van Sebastien Haller, maar bij West Ham United lijken de fans lang niet allemaal even rouwig om het vertrek van de Fransman. Hij kende nog geen al te denderend seizoen en wordt zelfs vergeleken met oud-voetballer Per Mertesacker, die nog net niet achteruit ging als hij probeerde te sprinten.

Een greep uit de reacties:

…he may not be a natural footballer.

He’s not good enough for this league. Moves like a truck Per Mertesacker is probably more mobile. If i supported West Ham, I’d be over the moon.

Won’t be a bad signing to be fair

Decent player just couldn’t handle the PL

Please take him away from us

Because the reverse is also possible. Haller scores no goals sits on the bench and his value drop further.

No matter what with GSB at the reins his deal was always going to be a shambles.

Cos if you’d ever seen him play his price tag goes down by about 5 mill every time we play him

Reports suggest Ajax are set to sign Sebastian Haller from West Ham for £22m.

His record at West Ham:

– Games: 50

– Goals: 14

Are #WHUFC right to sell him? pic.twitter.com/uqr4cSGf0P

Don’t think Haller is a bad player but he was definitely overpriced and just hasn’t really looked capable of fitting in. Has scored some good and important goals but too slow to play on his own, doesn’t hold it up well enough. #whufc a much more dangerous side when Antonio fit
