However I remember in his debut, the commentators would not stop praising him, and said he was going to be a brilliant signing for us. His runs etc in that game were also very good. I was hugely impressed with him in that game at forest but his last 3 games he's offered nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as an asset to the club he was a big risk. The prone bit and getting an injury makes no sense to me, he either is or he isn't I'd probably watch it before commenting.

The bloke didn't even manage 40 games in 3 years at Brentford. It's **** ridiculous money which is why we are going the same way as Leeds. Pissing money away in a reckless fashion. Slightly misleading, was made up of 2 serious injuries to different parts of his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Bad knees can lead to weak ankles but as pointed out it was a bit of a freak injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to mislead on stats. He ruptured his ACL on his league debut, re-injured the same knee during training and only came back into the side at the back end of last season (scoring 7 in 7?). He's then played 2604 minutes of league football out of a possible 2610 this season - that's 29 games on the bounce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think why West Ham decided to pull out. a] We haven't paid anywhere near £15m for him. b] He's only 24 and has a better goalscoring record than 1 in 2 in the Championship (over that consecutive, recent, 29 game stretch). c] West Ham didn't pull out - we simply put in a better offer than them.
