Andriy Yarmolenko cost Hammers £17.5 Million when he arrived from Borussia Dortmund in 2018, he was given an astonishing four year contract at an eye watering £115,000 PER WEEK! What is truly amazing is that Yarmo already had a poor fitness record when he was signed, a fact that manifested itself only too quickly as the 'striker' was sidelined with an Achilles injury almost as soon as he arrived at the club.
All together the Ukraine striker has started just 16 Premier League games for West Ham in three years and three months, he has additionally been used as a late sub in 11 games and has featured in several peripheral cup matches as well. However the return for the massive financial investment in the player has been appalling, Yarmolenko has thus far cost the club £ 19,435,000 in wages alone, once you add his transfer fee of £17.5 Million the final ridiculous figure of £36,935,000 is arrived at, and it is still growing at the rate of £115,.000 per week!
Overall Yarmolenko has made 64 appearances and scored a paltry 10 goals in League and Cup competitions, that equates to an outrageous £3.69 Million per goal! YES nearly £4 Million smackers per goal, 'unbelieveabubble'!
Dynamo Kiev president Ihor Surkis has suggested that he will gladly sign West Ham forward Andriy Yarmolenko either in January or next summer. “There is no such agreement, but it depends on both parties. If Andriy has a desire, I will gladly give him the opportunity to end his career at his home club. I have great respect for what he did for Dynamo, and I consider him a very decent man”.
If Surkis means what he says, Hammers should bite his hand off before he changes his mind, or emerges from some kind of drug enforced stupor. After all, only a lunatic or someone devoid of any sense of purpose would be willing to undertake such a risky option wouldn't they? -Ed

Let this be the last lesson learnt by Sullivan
The money we have paid out for ageing injury prone Big Name players on ridiculous wages is farcical and now we have our new recruitment guru Rob Newman hopefully it will never happen again but hey this is West Ham and how long will Sullivan be able to resist dabbling in the transfer market.

Well.
I like him
He's quality. Proved that at
He's quality. Proved that at Dortmund and at international level. Saw him in his first game for us, a friendly with Wycombe and though he was going to be a big hit. He's had injuries and that happens. But, his time is up.
