Andriy Yarmolenko's time at West Ham has been an unmitigated disaster, his signing fromBorussia Dortmund in the summer of 2018 for around £18 Million was a classic example of 'Pellegrinitus', and his outrageous £115,000 per week completely defies logic.
Yarmolenko's stats are appalling, in his entire injury ravaged time at the club the Ukranian has played only 47 games, and scored a paltry 7 goals. Not much of a return for around £35 Million in wages and signing on fees is it?
Well, apparently help is at hand in the form of Galatasaray, the Turkish giants are keen to sign the 31 year old winger who is entering the final year of his eye wateringly generous contract. There is even the chance of getting a small fee for the player who has always shone on the International stage when playing for the Ukraine but has failed miserably to have converted that form to domestic football.
Just relieving the Irons from another year of paying out £115,000 per week would be a very positive outcome, but it is hard to see Galatasary matching any where near those wages, and receiving a fee from them even more far fetched. At the end of the day Hammers will have to take a massive hit to get Yarmolenko off the books, if they can do so without having to supplement his wages at his destination club, then Happy days, if West Ham can get him off the books and receive a fee, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
Fortune does seem to be smiling a little, in that Yarmolenko's recent performances for the Ukraine have put him in the shop window, and if he has a good tournament, there is a possibility his stock will rise to the point of actually recouping a bit of cash while at the same time being rid of his wages.
It is to be hoped Yarmo has a good Euro's, because he has no future under David Moyes at the London Stadium. - Ed

Keeping my fingers crossed
I am also keeping my fingers.........and toes crossed for his immediate departure.
As supporters, we tend not to be overly concerned with the finances and the wages that players get, but even the most ignorant of supporters can see the benefit of getting players like him and Anderson (from that insane Pellegrini era) off of our books.
I still look back at Haller & think getting £20M for him in January was a masterstroke... not to mention paying that ungrateful Wheelchair off was also good for the club.
£115k per week is truly "Outrageous" and it would surely help me to sleep better at night knowing that those players are gone from this club and that money is being put to better uses with possibly the Academy and player training facilities being the beneficiaries.
Taxi
for yarmo
It's the equivalent of
It's the equivalent of daylight robbery, I'm surprised he never wore a mask and tried to hold up the referee!!
I think most fans knew the score
Regarding buying yarmo! A great player when not injured,but that was very,very rare,the dildos unfortunately have done these deals many times...pay 18 mill & outrageous wages for a player that might just show glimpses of magic once in a blue moon!! And apparently they are shrewd businessmen!!
Goal every other game
For Ukraine. Goal every three games for Dynamo. Must be the managers failure to utilise his tools properly. Use a screwdriver as a chisel then expect dire consequences
Nothing
To do with his injuries then?
He never seems to be injured
He never seems to be injured for his country 65 I think he decent
