Please God this Iron is nowhere near today’s squad
His “cameo” performances over recent weeks don’t deserve it and if he really did tell his national team chief – as reported – that he wants out of West Ham at the end of the season then he isn’t a player we need on the squad.
The truth is I’m sorry the guy is still at the club as I had everything crossed there would be a late bid from somewhere in the window despite his lack lustre performances.
There’s been much criticism of Arthur Masuaku and we know he can defend but he’s always likely to enjoy a flash of inspiration and can excite.
The sight of Yarmolenko lumbering down the right and predictably attempting to switch onto his left for a shot is now as predictable as it gets.
Whatever else may or may not happen in Worcestershire today I seriously hope we get sight of at least a couple of kids and striker Armstrong Okofkex is due with Aji Alese at central defence the other.
But Yarmolenko? Those days are gone hopefully!
