He's still a cunting fuckface who we never should have signed but seeing as we've just blown 50 million on inferior shite what choice is there?
 
Tatty and Pablo have made a difference. Wilson good to have in the mix but game time needs management.

I don’t believe all these rumours. 
if he hates him so much why was he on the bench and why did he even put him on?
he obviously doesn’t fuck around if he doesn’t like you (JWP). 

Way too many rumours with no substance going around. 


 
That's it. So many leaks constantly coming out of the club and from seemingly competing or at odds sources and trying to attribute blame or credit one way or another that it's hard to know exactly what's apparently actually happened

So this Venezuelan guy- weird one. Seems an absolute non commital move as to where we end up next season.

However, I note that it comes on the back of a win whereas it was dead quiet after the Wolves and Forest games. It surely can't be that Sullivan is sanctioning transfer activity literally week to week now, depending on the latest results? Win and we buy someone, lose and we don't. This would be a new level of idiocy and madness even for him. Even now he manages to sit on the fence and not commit to staying up or accepting relegation. We are SO badly run from the top level.

None, not a dig either.. We all do it me included as easier to be outraged by his interfering when disagreeing with it.

It just goes to show that however bad the striker situation SEEMED in the summer, it got a fuck of a lot even worse from then to the start of January with the German Kardashian again underperforming, getting hurt and then throwing a hissy fit and fucking off. All of a sudden Wilson was the only senior striker at the club. If he stays, in the three that we now have, I think that's at least the absolute bare bones of what we need to have a chance to stay up. But let's be clear- the anger at Wilson in the summer was that he was the only new striker coming in and that it was a Sullivan special that we didn't want, rather than anything like the players all the upwardly mobile clubs with any ambition around us were signing up. No club in the division started the season with a worse stable of strikers than us because of once again an absolute paucity of transfer activity. 

However, in the summer IF we stay up, we need to sign at least one PROPER striker like we have for the last three years, to be first choice. Taty and Pablo to stick and play a part. Taty to start games, Pablo to play less and hopefully improve. Wilson to say thank you very much for a job well done, offered an appropriate 12 month extension to take or leave on the proviso he knows he's not a starter unless there are injuries or squad rotation. I have zero faith in any of that happening even if we do escape the drop though.

Should we go down, I expect all we will have left is Pablo.

The issue with giving Wilson a guaranteed deal is that you just now he'll start getting injured.

Nuno has to start Wilson every game which may give us a chance of staying up.

Can't wait for the presser where he thanks Don Trump for making it possible.

The West Ham board has intervened with the ongoing situation regarding Callum Wilson's pending departure from the club. 

David Sullivan has told Nuno that the 33-year-old will now STAY until the end of the season to help fight relegation..

If Wilson really wants out all he has to do is walk into training throw a lollipop at the cսnt and ask him, who loves ya baby?

Kieber Lamadrid. 

Seen a few La Guaira matches (Venezuelan mate is a fan), this kid is the dogs bollocks.
 
 
Uh-huh. I'm going to file  "Venezuelan mate" with "mate who works for Kappa", in the fiction section.

Makes sense. In the event of us going down there is a chance he may stick around!
