Gale slams Irons for buying “rubbish”

Raging Tony Gale has slammed the Hammers recruitment strategy last summer as a “a load of rubbish” and has torn into the club..

The Hammers brought in the likes of Gokhan Tore, Alvaro Arbeloa, Havard Nordtveit, Simone Zaza and Jonathan Calleri over the summer.

Zaza departed without a goal , Calleri has managed just one, Gokhan Tore has barely done anything because he’s been injured, Nordtveit can’t get in the team and Arbeloa has spent the majority of his time on the treatment table.

Gale snapped: “They got a lot of rubbish at the start of the summer. The recruitment was poor from West Ham and as good as it was the season before it’s been bad in the last recruitment and that’s shown in the results.

“You can only do with what you’ve got as players.”
