Plenty of West Ham United supporters aren't happy with the club's board after it was revealed that Chelsea have made a rival offer for Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes (Sky Sports).

The Hammers had reportedly made a bid for the player before the Blues came in for him, offering an 18-month loan with an obligation to buy. However, according to Sky Sports, they were struggling to come to an agreement with Benfica about some conditions of the deal.

Because West Ham have taken their time in agreeing terms with the Liga NOS outfit it means that it has left the door open for Chelsea to make an approach and therefore the Irons may well end up missing out on him.

After seeing that their London rivals were now in the race to sign Fernandes, several Hammers fans were left fuming that they had dawdled with the deal, allowing other clubs to potentially steal the player from under their noses.

Indeed many took to Twitter to express their anger towards the board for failing to get a deal done quickly. Here is what some had to say...
