Hammers’ Should Steer Well Clear | This Faded Forward Spells Trouble

Image for Hammers’ Should Steer Well Clear | This Faded Forward Spells Trouble

West Ham United have enough challenges at the moment without adding to their ‘dressing room and player attitude’ troubles. I suspect Julen Lopetegui is already embroiled in far more than we know about with his Jean-Clair Todibo bust up, which according to rumours yesterday brought fellow Konstantinos Mavropanos into conflict with Todibo.

The official line was ‘injury’ but I’m not buying it, neither it seems are many others who reported the rumours. It will be interesting to see how long that stays ‘in the dressing room’.

Links I’ve found suggesting West Ham should make a bid for ‘bargain’ Marcus Rashford who will, apparently,  be up for sale in January with a ‘bargain £40 million’ price tag should be consigned to the circular file.

Apart from the fact that we don’t have £40 million to blow on a striker anyway! The idea of Lopetegui trying to assimilate an overpaid fallen star with a lack of interest in running, chasing and tackling back into an already divided dressing room just shouts ‘disaster’.

After the Bournemouth game it looks as if there might be a teeny sign of encouragement, let us not consider adding yet more strife to West Ham’s troubles just when we may be turning the corner.

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days - I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970..
Favourite player - Dean Ashton: Curse you Shaun Wright-Phillips.
I still watch YouTube repeats of the Cup Final of 2006 hoping in vain that Shaka Hislop grows another six inches and stops Steven Gerrard's injury time equaliser.
Can tell I'm getting old knowing I watched both Mark Noble's debut and his last game at West Ham.
Pulling on a Claret and Blue replica shirt still makes me feel the same butterflies as when I was seven years old.
Magic.

    Christ no.

    Washed up as a pro ages ago. Money got to him like Kalvin Phillips and ripped any desire out of him.

    I ve personally never seen what others appear to anyway.

    £40m and £300k p/w + Sullivan = no story

    Rashford is not a CF . His preferred position is on the left and so Summerville would find himself benched , not good more trouble . Westham mustn’t waste their money on another overpaid donkey . Get the right one in the summer .

    Worth a loan punt, he might do a Lingard
