Jiminez is a quality signing, Zola knows what he is doing, can't really say he's done a bad bit of business yet, and for a tip to anyone on the fantasy premierleague, whack Jiminez straight into your team.

he is a sort of striker, plays a bit behind the strikers, but more creative, would rather pass than shoot, Cole and him could be evil together next year, he could also play wing accept agreed pace is not his greatest asset, but he can cross.

As he is known as "The Wizard" I hope that does not mean he will disappear off the park...erm
Sounds a good loan signing.
Will be interesting to see who else we get as it was said there would be two or three players that would be coming to UP.

Hes not a striker anyway, hes attacking midfielder, sort of like scholes, riquelme or aimar.

Great player though, and as im a villa fan...im quite jealous!! Come on MON, get the finger out!!

I've had the pleasure of seeing Jimenez play first hand for Inter last year when I was on Holiday and I can guarantee you he has something to offer West Ham, he is quality and offers a real danger linking up around the box and has an eye for goal as well.

He reminds me more of Eyal Berkovic then Benayoun more with more energy and doesn't shy from a tackle...

Lets hope we can clinch Barotelli next!

If he can provide the kind of creativity that Benayoun or Solano provided we should be in good shape.
Good pedegree, and decent health record. The contract could be an issue, but if he proves to be an asset, I'm sure we can do some business.

A good start

The difference between Curbishley and Zola signings is incredible. If Zola had the money Curbishley wasted West Ham would be on the same level as Villa and Everton.

Decent health record? I heard he was off injured a fair amount...?
