Roberto story the daftest of week so far

Now I know some of us live in an internet world of hits and clicks and we all work hard to cover the costs involved in covering our websites.

However, there are limits to the type of ‘stories’ that we can cover without losing credibility although the word ‘clickbait’ is of course pretty stupid as it is no different to newspapers running enticing headlines.

However, yesterday one story  emerged which frankly simply left me howling with laughter such was the absurdity of the suggestion that West Ham are looking to sell Roberto!

Never has a goalkeeper received such a round of criticism as the Spaniard yet apparently after two months  of abject failure the bloke is going to be sold – err…to whom exactly.

At a time when both the manager and director of football are defending him to the enth degree and refusing to blame him individually for the Irons problems it’s not gonna happen anyway.

And of course the reality is there’s not a club out there who would give two bob for this error strewn wreck of a stopper. Qualifier for the daftest story of the week!

Oh and there is no such plan anyway as according to a well placed insider talking to CandH on the phone this morning we were told: “He’s had a dreadful start but that’s not in our plans right now.”

One other little ‘story’ also emerged later in which it was claimed that David Sullivan’s phone has been red hot with phone calls from agents who have manager clients who they reckon could replace Manuel Pellegrini!

Err, well yeah, that’s what agents do! SIGH

  1. Got to look at pellegrinis record on signings.
    Not really working. Its like hes got all tge parts of an engine dismantled but he doesnt have the ability to put it together, taking that further, theres a lot of worn out parts there he cant spot.
    Examples: Sanchez, Wilshere, Balbuena, Anderson, roberto, fornals. Yarmelenko
    Old worn out parts snodgrass, noble zabaletta, ogbonna, reid, and lanzin & ogbonnai showing signs of wear.
    Diop and haller look like good finds and andersom when he can be arsed.
    Cant understabd why he wont try diang cullen and holland, or let haksobanovic go, and keeps going for expensive pld guys with injury issues.
    If we lose next 3 games we have to get rid yes?
    Then what. We either get an interim in, cap in hand to Moyes-like figure, maybe we need a championship manager, seeing as thats where were heading– bowyer 😁
