West Ham lose out on Italian Ace
According to Footylatest
Palermo’s star striker will be a Juventus player within the next week according to the players agent. It seemed for a while that Amauri was going to choose AC Milan, but when they failed to secure a Champions League place for next season, Juventus got the nod.
Juventus have agreed to a £9m deal with Palermo that will see Antonio Nocerino and Davide Lanzafame go to Sicily as make-weights.
The Grimaldi brothers, who act as Amauri’s agents, met with Juventus directors Jean-Claude Blanc and Alessio Secco yesterday to finalise the deal.
“The negotiations have reached a good stage, in fact excellent,”
a statement from the agents read.
“We are satisfied and there are only a few small details still to be completed. When will he sign? Soon, probably within the next week.”
West Ham were hoping to get Davide Lanzafame, with certain rumours saying that he preferred West Ham to Palermo Why is it, we don’t seem to have the clout to get these kind of players?

Don’t think this has anything to do with clout but Juventus wanting Amauri and Palermo putting conditions on selling him to them.

I don’t believe it’s the West Ham way, I tend to want to shrug that label off if we want to move forward. We can get signings but we can’t expect big names to come flocking on our door this season. Let’s look forward, not on past disappointments. As for Lanzafame, he has stated he wants a move to England and thats not a bad sign, even if we are just loaning him for a season.
