Marc-Antoine Fortune is the latest in a long line of wittily named players to be linked with the Hammers. According to that up to the minute, never wide of the mark news source, tribalfootball, Fortune has to choose between Celtic, Hull and ourselves.
Now, apart from the fact that the club anthem incorporates his name, so guaranteeing him Claret and Blue immortality if he joined, I can't get excited about signing the guy personally. He didn't look anything special in a West Brom shirt and at 27, he isn't going to make giant strides forward over the next 4 or 5 years is he? The £3.8m fee that Celtic have apparently agreed to pay probably puts him beyond our reach anyway.
This is one Fortune that I hope doesn't fall into our lap!

Im a celtic fan and I dont want him, another overpriced nobody
how is he meant to look special at West Brom? He got 7 goals anyway didn't he, i wouldn't personally mind it if we signed him, 27 years old, what is wrong with that? Owen is signing for Man Utd, what would you say if he scored 20+ goals.
Complaining when their too young, complaining when their too old, do you want everyone West Ham sign to be 25?
I advocated signing Owen - he is class.
I'm sure Fortuné is aswell
HF 1421, I remember you saying not too long ago that Owen was a shot-bolt. A week's a long time in football
I don't remember saying that. If you check back through the history, you will find an article on here in which I advocated signing Owen.
