Few weeks after joining Nottingham Forest from Watford, revelations are surfacing as to why Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Dennis moved to the newly promoted Premier League sides despite the number of teams queueing up for his signature, Nigeriasoccernet.com gathered.
West Ham United were one of the strongest side in pursuit of Dennis but to the surprise of many failed to land him due to failure to reach agreement with the player and his then club.
However, David Moyes have received the blame from pundits for failing to make the deal happen.
The Mirror journalist Darren Lewis while speaking on the talkSPORT GameDay Podcast on Tuesday highlighted how a deal for West Ham to sign Dennis would have been fairly straightforward to get done.
“The team don’t look fresh and look a little bit stale when compared to other clubs at the moment. Looking at the top-six, a lot of teams have plenty of fresh faces whilst West Ham still look very stale. I think there will be more signings and a drastic change all over the pitch in their next match against Villa. You look at Nottingham Forest and they have been so decisive in their transfer business and decision-making.
“I felt that West Ham could have easily done a deal for Emmanuel Dennis, who would’ve given them depth in their forward line. At the moment West Ham are far too predictable and this end-of-season wait for signings to become available is costing them points.”
The Nigerian bagged 10 goals and six assists in 33 Premier League games for Watford last season.
