West Ham have a big decision to make on the future of Luis Guilherme, who appears to be surplus to requirements under current head coach Julen Lopetegui.
To say the club is concerned about the situation surrounding the Brazilian wonderkid would be an understatement, especially given the money spent on the Palmeiras starlet.
Nothing highlights the disconnect at West Ham more than the Director of Football spending £20 million on a player the manager has no intention of using. The situation is nothing new, as shown in recent seasons with the signings of Nikola Vlasic and Maxwel Cornet, neither of whom were given a sustained run in the team.
Now, questions are reportedly being raised in Guilherme’s home country, where he is considered one of Brazil’s brightest prospects.
The Hammers must consider loaning him out, selling him, or at least using him from the bench. Guilherme impressed in his start for the Irons’ U21 team, scoring a superb goal many believed would earn him more academy appearances—but that never materialised.
It seems West Ham may have wasted £20 million on a player without a clear plan for his development. Perhaps they’re waiting to see if a new manager replaces Lopetegui and decides to integrate the youngster. However, if things stay as they are, a loan move might be the best solution for all involved.
Absolutely ridiculous..your right…we need this management gone before we lose players like this kid and kudos …because there is no way you can not play him at some point….there have been hundreds if not thousands of footballers who were crsp at training but totally different animal when on the pitch ….this blokes is clueless he reslly is ….this will just drag on like moyes now
Maybe we would see if this 🇧🇷 kid is any good if we had a manager that isn’t a complete sham! 🇪🇸🤡
Luis Guilherme is not the one surplus to requirements – Lopetegui is!
🤡🇪🇸 is the problem!
Unfortunately Guillherme won’t get his chance under this numbnuts of a manager. He looked decent when he came on a few weeks ago.
Useless selections every week, different selections every week, different formations every week
CLUELESS IDIOT!!!
I don’t trust 🇪🇸🤡 with any of our players! Kudus is the best example of poor man management.
As much as I want Lewis Orford in the team, I’m scared 🇪🇸🤡 will ruin his confidence like he has the team and us fans alike!
Joke of a club
🤡🎪
One of Brazil’s brightest prospects??? Rubbish. Look at his statistics for Palmeiras. 44 games as an attacking player who managed zero assists and 1 goal!!! Unbelievable that Steidten got West Ham to pay £23-£25m for him. Steidten was only out there to try to buy the Brazilian international Bruno and god knows what made him pay that money for that innocent youngster (wink, wink). Not the kid’s fault.
How can you judge a player that isn’t given a chance?! 🤦♂️
Every time I watch one of the clubs training videos he looks fully involved. So do the other kids to be fair like Casey and the other youngster who I can’t think what their name is. He must be gaining something from it otherwise why is he not sent out on loan somewhere?
I said this weeks ago ..wtf are they doing
Not even given a gameand hes brazilian wonderkid …HOW WILL THEY KNOW FOR SURE WITHOUT EVEN TRYINGHIM ..fk knows what the lad must be thinking..the clubs gone to ****e once again ….this bloke has to go do do the owners…plse enough is enough
Sully still has a chance of saving our season and preventing our stadium turning against him!
🇪🇸🤡 has to go before it goes toxic and they turn on Sully!
He must know it will be him that will be on the end of the fans fury!
With a limited budget and a lot of first team players needed , clearly spending 25 million on a kid not close to first team ready was a mistake that Sullivan should have vetoed .
With a record of hiring managers like Sully our 🇨🇿 shareholder should’ve vetoed Sully making 🇪🇸🤡 our manager!
What is going on at our club? There is something wrong intricately with West Ham. The team seem incapable of playing to the standard required, players cannot find time on the ball, they panic and kick the ball anywhere, pass to players who are surrounded, look slow and totally out of their depth, even decent players get to West Ham and almost immediately play like division 1 players. The last time I saw them play well was during Covid with no supporters present when we had a decent run. What’s going on?
I remember when Lopetegui first arrived so called pundits and in the knows we’re talking about how this Manager will give the young players a chance, yeah rightio how’s that worked out then….
Don’t like saying it but unless this bloke isnt sacked after the Everton game regardless of if we win then we are in a relegation battle
I remember that also! 🇪🇸🤡 said in his interview he’d use our young players.
Our midfield is a retirement village and Lewis Orford isn’t even on the bench! George Earthy and Potts are shipped out on loan.
The 🇧🇷 kid has been given 5 minutes!
Is this just 🇪🇸🤡 and Sully just conspiring to get Tim sacked? 🤔
🇪🇸🤡 showed no loyalty to Wolves – we should get rid after the Everton game to stop this circus 🎪🤡
Even with bottom 3 clubs looking poor, they’re still capable of dragging us in to the mix!
We look diabolical 🇪🇸🤡 has to go!
Get a new manager in, the kid has a lot of talent the manager is expendable and cheaper to get rid of.
🇪🇸🤡 has no sell on value but the 🇧🇷 kid does!
It’s not 🚀 science!
Save our season and P45 🇪🇸🤡 before the stadium becomes ultra toxic calling for Sully’s head!
Was a reason given for him not being selected for more U21 appearances?
Another aspect of Lopetegui fallout could be reluctance of South American players to want to come to Stratford.
I wouldn’t trust 🇪🇸🤡 to make toast!
He should be toast himself this weekend.
Dead man walking!
As I’ve said before. We are a basket case of a club. Buying players the manager has no intention to use. Letting players go like JWP who we should have kept. Picking players not fit for the Prem in Rodriguez & Soler.
Absolue basket case club!!!!!
I still think Soler and Rodriguez were 🇪🇸🤡 picks!
🇪🇸🤡 said he would use his knowledge of La Liga to attract players to improve us!
🇪🇸🤡 is a disgrace and can’t wait to say adios to this uninspiring muppet!
