That’s the reason we shouldn’t have signed him in the first place. He’s had big issues with his knees in the past hasn’t he? I think we were relatively lucky with his injuries, but that right there shows why getting the money we did and the wages off his books was such a good deal. 

There's always a reason not to sign somebody.

To be fair, his injury record is not as bad as you'd think, he had the two bad knee injuries at Liverpool but since then his injury record is actually pretty good.

I'm sure his injury record was noted and considered when we signed him, and I'm sure he'd of gone through plenty of tests before everything was confirmed.

The fact is we did our due diligence and he had no injuries with us, so our recruitment was correct on that score.

I'm not saying we were right to buy him or wrong to sell him, I'm just saying his injuries shouldn't really come in to it. He'd proven to not be injury prone for multiple seasons before joining us.

Cruel thing to say but hopefully the add-ons for Ings is not tied to appearances and just West Ham avoiding relegation.

I imagine it's a combination of the two. Then avoiding relegation part of it, him playing a part in that another.

And yes, that is a cruel but financially sound comment.

Hope it's not any more serious than just keeping him out a few weeks. Shame for him.

If they can get him back in time for the Spurs and Forest games then that will be huge for them. Spurs is a London derby so anything can happen and would back them to put on a good showing against Forest if Ings is playing, think that would be quite a scrappy but evenly matched game

Why BBC have 18m old article that we've signed Duran? Was it not official or just BBC delay like their match live update threads?

They are only about an hour late!  Which for a transfer announcement isn't bad - but for a match live update thread would be pretty poor.

Our squad is looking thin with Archer, Ings, Sanson, Bednarek gone. Also Nakamba on the brink 

I just hope we don't panic buy and replace shit with shit. 7 days to go.

It will be fine as long as you sent the club your list of the 10000 players you have recommended on here over the last couple of months.

Well the scouts didn't know who Duran or what the MLS was until they saw my list🤣

Just in terms of Nakamba. What is he on the brink of exactly? Has there been any reports of him joining another club or is it just the same statements that Emery is happy for him to leave?
