If you were Chiek Kouyate – 95 appearances for the club so far – you may just be feeling a bit overlooked today (Fri) along with Pedro Obiang.
For the arrival of the Hammers 2017 calendar sees Kouyate omitted although there’s room for on-loan Simone Zaza and infrequent first team central defender James Collins.
Neither our near ever present midfielder Cheik or contender for player of the season so far, Pedro feature. Surely some mistake!
Zaza appears as the January player which may be a coded message that he could be on his way although we doubt it. Andy Carroll is the February choice with the remainder – Payet, Ginge, Andre Ayew, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Antonio, Reid Noble, Lanzini and Adrian taking us through the remainder of the year.
ClaretandHugh Facebook group member Graham Hatt noticed what he described as the “glaring omission” and quipped: “Kouyate, Obians, Carroll etc are checking their contracts for image rights and potential loss of earnings.”
Don’t know why they don’t have 2 players per page – at least that seems more fairer or at least have the players whose birthday is that month feature
