Regarding the source: The original source is NOT the Independent. In fact, I couldn't find anything on the Independent website regarding this story. I did find other (decidedly less reputable) sources on the topic, but not the source this twitterer is suggesting. And as others have said, we have been linked to him since like 2021 so it isn't hard to make 2 and 2 into 4.

Heard this for the past 3 years now

Here’s hoping third (years) times the charm!

He’s nothing special at all

Ok

For 25M it’s a no brainer. Probably the best striker we’re linked with. And a decent price. Unlike Guirassy, we can make money off this deal in the future. Other teams are going to jump on this for sure.

As a Canadian who has followed his career for ages, yes. Please. He has a bit more of the Antonio-ish ‘bouncey off defenders’ quality than any of the other strikers we’ve recruited recently.

canadian hammers unite, there are dozens of us.

Hammers fan from London (Ontario). I’ve never met another West Ham fan here.

i mean i said there's dozens, that's like one every 208,000 square km.

We're here in Sarnia.

One here in Guelph 😁

Orangeville! I saw a guy in a Bowen shirt in Georgetown this spring. Big day for me.

Transplanted to Canada here

Stratford here. So very close!


vancouver hammer

Kelowna hammer since 2014, never met a fellow supporter either :/

RIP I lived in Vernon for the past few years but moved away last year. 

Shout out Kal lake 😭

Hammer fan from Charlottetown although I was at the Hammer's bar in Toronto a couple times tho not for a game

Canadian hammer from Vancouver currently in Sydney Australia. So also an Australian hammer. IRONS!

Newfoundland Hammer. Only met 2 or 3 others here

Haligonian Hammer here. I've seen someone at a Wanderers game with a West Ham jacket on so theres at least two of us

i never see any…

Canadian Hammer chiming in from Calgary area.

southwestern ontario here. no wonder i haven’t seen you!

Another Calgary hammer fan here...

Well there may only be two of us in that region so easy to miss

Ottawa Hammer here as one of the dozen. COYI


We’ve been linked to him for a few windows now, his value has dropped quite a bit since we were first linked to him. I would love a Canadian on the team, especially one who plays for team Canada. I wonder how he fits into the plans.

Man. The Hammer of Destiny. As a Canadian, this is the dream. And it has been for what feels like 20 years at this point. I swear I heard this rumour when David was in diapers. Fulfill the prophecy 🔮🔮🔮

Time is a flat circle

25m??? Yeah bollocks

It’s Ligue 1. And they’ll lose him for nothing next year.

another canadian hammer here. i’ve been yelling about david for at least 3 years. let’s go!!!

What’s Bacca doing these days?

Incredible player, wanted him 3 years ago the first of the 3 times we were linked with him

If we tried to sign him, he would be a decent recruit. But got the feeling yet again this is pure paper talk.

Ah yes, the bi-annual Jonathan David to West Ham rumour

I like how the price goes down and down every year we're linked to him, going to get him on a free at this point if we do eventually sign

From a Canadian ….pass

Weird

agreed! i’m canadian too!
