Your Shout: Where are the strikers?

Once again it’s your turn to voice your concerns about all things West Ham with our show featuring fans video clips. I never know what I’m going to get sent my way via the inbox but it’s clear that fan frustration is building regarding our lack of strikers.

It’s not just the lack of transfer activity that has people worried either (although a couple of new additions to the squad would certainly help) but the paucity of options in our first team squad for tomorrows friendly in Austria. Both Diafra Sakho and Andy Carroll are unavailable due to injury which will come as no surprise to many but with Ashley Fletcher named as the only senior striker the forward line looks like it’s been put together by Old Mother Hubbard.

When I say ‘senior striker’ I do use the phrase in it’s broadest possible terms because as promising as Ashley Fletcher may be he is a kid with a handful of games behind him and not somebody we should be relying on to lead the attack.

My frustrations and concerns appear to be shared as you will see in the video which also questions the impact of the move to the London Stadium on our transfer activity.

Thanks to Greg, Alan, Olas 1 and Mikey for their contributions and if you have something that you’d like to say please send your clips to info@hammerschat.com
