Club Confirm Talks With Adri-fucking-ano
Update...from The Independent
West Ham ready to take gamble with £15m Adriano
"West Ham officials were in Milan last night to negotiate the permanent signing of the Brazilian striker Adriano in what could turn out to be the most surprising deal of the summer transfer window.
Talks initially started over a season-long loan for the 25-year-old, who is out-of-favour at Internazionale. However, both he and the Italian champions have made it clear they would prefer a permanent transfer and West Ham have been encouraged to push ahead, although they face competition from Lazio.
The striker's £80,000-a-week wage demands are not regarded as a problem by West Ham, although they were still trying to agree a fee last night, with Inter hoping to receive more than £15m for a player who has fallen dramatically down the pecking order.
West Ham have also lodged a formal £5m bid for England international left-back Nicky Shorey and are hoping to hear later today whether it has been accepted. However, Reading are continuing to indicate they will not sell until they have signed a replacement – even though Shorey has pleaded with them to let him leave and will not sign a new contract."

"Following speculation in the press West Ham can confirm we are holding talks with Inter Milan over striker Adriano.
The figures that have been quoted in the media are inaccurate as the possible deal is in it's early stages and money has not yet been discussed. The club are investigating the possibiity of a loan deal at this stage."

Sounds like club fluff to make it look like we're going after world class players between now and the end of the window. Adriano has said he's not interested in joining West Ham - was always going to be a non starter IMO!

No fucking idea.
He’s too lazy for Serie A, so you try and sign him for the Premier League.
Curbs won’t see the season out.

This wouldn't be too bad a buy but i don't think it will happen. Only two days left in the transfer window. I think we will definitely sign someone before it closes but have no idea who. I guess we will just have to wait and find out.

I think I preferred the policy of the club site reporting nothing until a player was signed. So far they've announced the signing of Darren Bent & Yossi penning a 5 year contract both which have turned out to be shunned at the 11th hour.
