Haway man he’s only 29.   
 

Not played a crazy amount of football. Not had a lot of injuries. Could have another 4 years at the top.

I have an idea

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spieler/vertragslosespieler/statistik/1/plus//galerie/0?ausrichtung=alle&spielerposition_id=14&land_id=alle&altersklasse=&wettbewerb_id=alle&seit=alle&yt0=Show

 

Just invite them all and see who turns up. Inject Jacob Murphy with performance-enhancing drugs and, with some sort of converted tennis ball machine, just get him banging in low cross after low cross. 

 

The 2 strikers with the highest conversion rate after 20 shots go to a bad foot sudden death, where they have to trap a wayward pass from our midfielders and get a shot away with the wrong foot.

 

If it gets within 3 metres of either post, then they get a contract. 

 

Include Woltemade and Wissa so we have a control group for the test too.

How on earth is Chicharito the same age as Diego Costa? How on earth is Ighalo younger than Chicharito?

 

It feels like Chicarito has been in his early 20s for the last 15 years.

My big takeaway from that list is I'm amazed more of them haven't played for West Ham

It does feel like people are waiting to turn ok certain players

 

Gordon is playing himself out of the hate.  Elanga is in deep.  Wolte, Wissa, Ramsey and any GK is next.
 

Tonali can misplace passes to his Hearts content mind.

Not sure anyone is waiting to do that. It must be allowed to be critical against players when they dont perform. When we pay a premium for PL players I expect them to contribute heavily. Elanga at times can barely do a basic pass. Sometimes even that is too much. Its shocking, there is no getaway from that. Ramsey the same. He can atleast do the basics, but we got to expect more attacking numbers from him. I really like Gordon as a player, but he didnt perform for months. Both our goalkeepers have done a lot of weird things, sometimes good, but done enough poor performances to get criticized.

Even factoring in the lack of a preseason and the injury. I’ve found

him very disappointing so far. 
 

His touch is bad, he is slower than I thought and he was born offside. 
 

No idea how he mostly used to play wide. As his fundamentals are not good (there is a theme there with our players). 
 

Our team don’t help our strikers at all, mind. Feeding off scraps, isolated and we rarely get them involved in the build up or get players near them. Which must be an instruction from Howe and how he wants us to set up. 
 

Not sure what would be worse? If it is an instruction or just a failing of our players and their ability……

I thought him coming back would see us perform much better but he’s been poor so far. I fear that spending £50 million on a player who had one great season at midtable Brentford may not have been as good a signing as I expected it to be.

To be fair it’s not easy being striker at this team, same goes for Woltemade. Isak would have not scored double figures if he was still here.

 

Either one of our strikers did not get pre-season and we don’t seem to have basic plan for attacks.

Is it bad that I was waiting for this from you? Predictable :lol: 
 

You’ll be fine Wednesday. Your beloved PSG will batter us so you’ll be happy for once, at least :lol:

He tries some fancy flicks which have failed mostly, but if they came off they would open teams up. Might just be his touch is still off after a long lay off. Or maybe it was never that good, I didn't pay that much attention when he was at Brentford tbh.
