‘What A Find!!!’ ‘Bargain Of The Summer’ – West Ham Fans on Twitter Hail Pellegrini Signing

Not much was known about Fabian Balbuena when West Ham signed him from Corinthians in the summer.

Defenders from South America don’t always adapt to the pace of the Premier League but the Paraguayan international has certainly proved a shrewd buy by Manuel Pellegrini so far.

Balbuena was recruited for an undisclosed fee, although the figure was reportedly just €4m. Most Hammers fans on Twitter think the centre-back was a bargain:

Balbuena has certainly grown into his role at West Ham. It is not easy to form a centre-back partnership with a player (Issa Diop) who is also new to the league. 

There have been some big defeats along the way (most notably against Liverpool and Manchester City), but with two clean sheets in the last four games, it seems the defensive unit is capable of shutting out teams lower down the table.

With the likes of Watford, Southampton, Burnley and Brighton to come, Hammers fans will be hoping for more of the same from Balbuena.
