Paul Merson Gives Comically Clueless Advice For West Ham In The Transfer Market

Sky Sports' Gilette Soccer Special isn't exactly where you'd go for the most cutting edge analysis in the world of football, but it's good fun and keeps you up to date with the scores and incidents you'd otherwise miss.

However, on bank holiday Monday Paul Merson came out with the type of thing your grandad might say while everyone is digesting Christmas dinner before everyone laughs and says 'Oh Grandad...'

The panel were discussing Dimitri Payet, and how he and West Ham have struggled recapture the form of last season, when Merse blurted out that the club should sell him, and buy Manchester United's Anthony Martial.

Imagine if transfers worked like they did in Paul Merson's head? Man City should sell John Stones for £40m and buy Rafael Varane from Real Madrid for £10m. Bargain, that.

Manchester United paid roughly £58m for Martial less than 18 months ago, the idea that they would let him go, permanently, to another Premier League club, after he was the club's top scorer last season... Is actually bafflingly outageous.

A shocker from Merson, his face when he sees the reaction of his colleagues who know they can't let him get away with such bollocksology is telling.

Drop the transfer advice, stick to lambasting John Stones, it's where you're at your best.
