Remember when you were young and had to deal with the fall out from your impromptu 'full on' party, usually at your parents house while they were away or at your Uni accommodation? Having been 'caught on the moment' has it's consequences, in a similar way fans baying for new football players at their clubs can become all mouth and trousers, happy to have a drink and a laugh, but with little or no regard as to who is going to clean up the mess that is left when everyone has buggered off.

Pablo Fornals joined West Ham in 2019 for £24 Million, it is safe to say his arrival wasn't greeted with much enthusiasm despite him having helped Spain win the U-21 World Cup. Manuel Pellegrini didn't seem able to work out how to use the energetic midfielder to the maximum of his abilities.

Many fans called for this 'expensive flop' to be moved on, and they nearly got their way! Fast forward a couple of years or so and now Fornals is one of the 1st names on David Moyes's team sheets, rightly so given his 'duracell bunny' performances that he has put in.

Yesterday West Ham confirmed their squad to compete in the Europa Cup this coming season: Goalkeepers: Alphonse Areola; Lukasz Fabianski; David Martin; Darren Randolph Defenders: Vladimir Coufal; Aaron Cresswell; Craig Dawson; Issa Diop; Ryan Fredericks; Arthur Masuaku; Angelo Ogbonna; Kurt Zouma Midfielders: Alex Kral; Mark Noble; Declan Rice; Tomas Soucek Forwards: Michail Antonio; Said Benrahma; Jarrod Bowen; Pablo Fornals; Manuel Lanzini; Nikola Vla
