Rice gone Paq gone Scamacca gone Zouma gone Aguerd gone Fab gone Antonio gone Cornet gone Emerson we hope gone Kehrer the same Cresswell gone Fornals gone Bowen gone Benny gone Ogbonna retired Coufal/Soucek go home.....the club struggling in the bottom half of the championship with bless em maybe 30/35 Thousand fans in the BOM and MOYES still at the helm saying we need to take baby steps this is about building for the future then you open your eyes and wonder why the NEW West Ham shirt you just purchased has long sleeves and straps on the end and scream WTF IS HAPPENING TO MEEE only then to really wake up find out you are in an insane asylum and being a West Ham fan was just a bad dream and you smile to yourself and think hey lifes not so bad now!

So Scamacca has not been that great and i see quite a few murmers about him being the new Haller etc but i am actually here to defend both players!

Haller when we got him i was over the moon and in first few games he looked like a proper striker and once settled in would be banging in the goals....it did not happen and i like many were thinking ffs another overpaid donkey here we go again and his body language and attitude stunk the place out so that was the reason he had to go....but why the was he like that? he was banging in goals for fun before we got him soon as we got our mitts on him we ruined him....sold to Ajax at a loss and suddenly he's banging in goals again in the champions league running heading closing people down WTF hows that and whys that happened? you ask...Ajax sold him for a profit! to Dortmund and away he goes again and thankfully he has now recovered from his testicular cancer problem and seems on the road back to recovery........So a player who is clearly good enough but we could not get the best out of him or even try to IMO better off to sell than try and come up with a solution.

Scamacca a young man who clearly also has the talent and you do not play as Italys number 9 unless you are able to but once again Cameo appearances and not getting the gametime to settle in flashes of his undoubted talent(calm down HG)but again his body language starting to show and he clearly looks lke a fish out of water at times but come on this Lad in my eyes clearly has something about him but for some reason we get our mitts on a promising player and turn him to shit.....if we sold him i have no doubt we will see him banging in the goals regular for someone else so lets not make the mistake again how about our Manager and so called coaches try something different eh.

Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are should we keep or sell. We all know that Ant has been shocking over the last 12 month ever since he started playing for Jamaica his form has dropped but should we let him go. He is our highest goal scorer for the last few seasons and he is hard for defenders to cover but at nearly 33 how long do we keep him for. For me we need to see how much they are willing to pay. If we can get £10 million for him and Dawson that would just about cover the cost of Brenton Diaz who is a player that I think would be a great buy for us. The only thing we have to do is get another couple of backs in and then let them go as long as we get the deal with Blackburn set up.

Nevers, Chesters and Oko-Flex come back from their respective loans, Perkins Left for Leeds, Ashby wants out and the club is looking at either accepting a nominal fee, with the players agent touting him to Newcastle and Leeds.
Same agency that represents Eddie Howe, and is Marc Warburton's daughter. We've created our own players in the past, but since the 2000's loads of younger players have left, some went on to stardom a lot didn't, we've had Oxford, Ngakia, Boatey, Corbett, Samuelson, Haksabanovic, Cullen, Burke and Alese to name a few, all mentioned as future talents.
Only this past season, Baptiste was a name who great things were expected of, alongside Longelo, Odubeko so prolific for Manchester United Reserve side, and now Ekwah Elimby a signing from Chelsea a couple of seasons ago, who is now set to leave for a pittance, yet our Club has been called ' The (Supposed) Academy of Football' then why are there so many who don't make it??
