West Ham’s most exciting player left the club this summer for a huge £60 million transfer fee and an outrageous personal salary reputed to be in the region of twelve million pounds a year.
I’M NOT blaming Crysencio Summerville for one second, you understand, swapping the sold out London Stadium’s 60,000 arena for what is essentially an half built, mostly deserted football ground adjacent to a car park. For that money most of us would pick up fag butts in our teeth from the players’ car park, wearing only a leopard skin mankini.(Or is that just me?)
But the video doing the rounds showing Summerville -doing what he does best and scoring for his new team Al-Hilal- is more a sad reflection of his reality these days compared with what he could have had as a player breaking into the international arena and with Premier League clubs seemingly queueing up for his signature.
Showtime no longer for Crysencio Summerville at half finished , half empty football stadium.
To his credit he snubbed a move to Spurs but in any case has more than doubled the PL’s top money by moving to Dubai – but the lack of celebration and even the trademark smile after shimmying past four players and side footing home past the keeper was just sad to see.
Wonder how long he’ll stick it out before, like so many others from European leagues, he’s demanding a loan move.
Sad state of affairs indeed.
You’ve put a lot of thought into this leopard skin mankini haven’t you Martin? 😊⚒️⚒️
