Paqueta boost as player hints at return tomorrow
West Ham playmaker Lucas Paqueta has lifted fans’ spirits by cryptically tweeting “See you tomorrow, Irons”.
The tweet is followed by the usual flourish of emojis and a splendid montage of the man himself. The picture depicts the Brazilian in his West Ham kit, standing proudly above the London Stadium with the date and kick-off time of tomorrow’s game against Brentford.
I say it’s cryptic, but it doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to deduce that Paqueta is announcing his return ahead of tomorrow’s game. The player would appear to be pleased as punch about it too, so perhaps he’s not as injured as we’ve been led to believe.
His return can’t come soon enough for long-suffering Hammers fans who haven’t witnessed a goal since fossilised records began. It’s also brilliant news for under-pressure gaffer David Moyes, who will be hoping the Brazilian can save his bacon.
I guess we won’t have long to find out, but I, for one, am now looking forward to a game I was dreading.
It’s a pity the board haven’t acted on Moyes.I feel that we might have had half a chance of keeping him if we had someone in charge who knew what they were doing.
