LaticsLegend Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 May be a left winger? I know nothing about him to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) http://en.wikipedia....istian_Montaño Can play up front or on the wing. Signed with Latics on a two-year contract according to the West Ham official website. I know bugger all about this chap but he appears to have a good pedigree for a youngster. Exciting signing, perhaps. Edited August 17, 2012 by Crusoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 20 year old Striker/Winger supposedly signed according to Twitter. Colombian origin, spent a few years at West Ham, led a nomadic loan existence over the last couple of years but has bagged a few in the league below. From what I remember he looked very good on loan at Notts County last season. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristian_Montaño Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 That's definitely the kid I was thinking of, had a spell at Notts the year before too and scored a few, could be a good signing this but as always I'll wait and see! Looks like we're going for rape teams with pace tactic this year rather than using the big lump ala Tonk/Kuqi. Interesting to see how it works out as it really does depend on Furball and Wes's ability to break from deep to support the pacy players.

laticdickovarmy Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) The one thing we lacked at times last season was an outlet I thought so very pleased I hope he has a high workrate would expect so being a PD player Defenders always hate playing v pace makes them defend deeper thus pushes all their team back and helps us out at the back, he records indicates he can finish Very pleasing signing in terms of potential and the length of contract is really pleasing, if he was :censored: hot at worst on a couple of year deal we could command a big fee Model himself on Asprillia lol hope he is as good! :censored: im being a bit too positive here haha Just wondering was he the trailist who scored v Newcastle in the week? Maybe someone can confirm Edited August 17, 2012 by laticdickovarmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Fee might well because he's 20 and his contract expired and West Ham offered him a new one. Agreeing to a fee saves us having to likely pay more, especially if lawyer's fees are included, after a tribunal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) he has 12 goals in 38 senior apperances... far from shabby I am not going to get too carried away, it was only monthly loan deals, so is tricky to judge. Hid goals are in LEague 1 & 2 But he has left wing experience and is speedy http://www.westhamti...b241e0a1f0049f5 He fell out with Di Canio too....

Yea it could be a token fee though if West Ham offered him a new deal its interesting that he chose to sign for us. Given that he's the only player I can think of who has more than 1 year on his contract he's immediately gone to the top of my list for going on the back of my new shirt.
