Earthy rumours

[BoleynGone]

Just watched Hammers Chat and they have stated that Earthy has been rumoured to be out the door in January.
Good work Nuno you cսnt.

Imagine offloading Earthy, who is on less than £5k a week, and keeping Rodriguez, who is on £75k a week

Imagine thinking you can compare a lad who couldn't get in Bristol City's team to a World Cup winner.

Imagine a West Ham fan who thinks Rodriguez has looked anything like a World Cup winner at West Ham. And who’s failed to get the point about the club’s chances of being a Championship team next season.

[El Scorchio]

Wouldn't bother debating it with him. Just call him the massive fucking spastic he is and move on.

Earthy made 40 appearances for Bristol City

They prob felt sorry for him for wasting his season with 5 minute cameos at the end of the game.

Like I said the last time you posted this nonsense:

It definitely wasn't mostly 5 minute cameos. He played less than 15 minutes in only 6 out of his 40 games for them. He played at least 27 minutes in ALL of Bristol City's last 15 games, and in another dozen games before then. And don't forget this was a team who got to the playoffs, not a club with a terrible squad.

In any case, he'll be gone when his contract expires, if not before. Not been given a sniff of our first team so why would he sign a new contract even if it's been offered? Best we can do is offload him and hopefully get a decent sell on clause.

[easthammer]

I like Earthy and I hope he isn't sold, but I can also see that he might be. I think there must be a real question around his physicality in the premiership where the mid field is now the land of the giants. Also we already have a young (bigger) Kante pushing for a place. Could Earthy replace Paqueta? I think Fernandes is ear marked for that. And unless we can get out of the relegation threat quickly I don't see Earthy getting much of a chance to prove himself this season. So he could be pushing for a move, who knows?

Remember Fordstar and Noble? Step up Chutney Ferret and Freddie Potts.

You can add Earthy to that list

[twoleftfeet]

Imagine hating Potts & Earthy and rating Rodriguez more highly. I’m sure this person has an issue with young men, maybe he was turned down by one when he asked if they wanted a bit of bum

He won their young player of the year didn’t he?

It’s a daft thing to consider, but it’s a daft club run badly. 

I think we’ll survive by the skin of our teeth, sadly, and it’ll be more of the same with over the hill high priced mercenaries while selling off anything we produce in the academy. 

Geo made a very good point in his video that people note that none of the recent academy graduates have been a success after leaving West Ham, but it only takes one and the club looks stupid. 

It does anyway.

Imagine offloading Earthy, who is on less than £5k a week, and keeping Rodriguez, who is on £75k a week until his contract runs out in June. Then we're relegated (it's a strong possibility). Rodriguez will not stay on at West Ham and, let's face it, nobody wants him to. But we'd then be without a kid who excelled in the Championship, wanted to stay and we've offloaded to somebody like Watford.

I would not be rushing to sell kids right now. It makes no sense economically or in terms of what we might need in the future.

[southbankbornnbred]

If Nuno is really unsure about Earthy, then we could even loan him out again in January. There will be several good Championship clubs after him - and he'd get another five months of playing experience. Which might come in very handy next season.

[southbankbornnbred]

He doesn’t need another loan
Like Potts he needs to step up and take his chance when it comes 

 

The problem is, we aren’t in a position to be throwing youth players in. It hasn’t really worked out with Potts, and we simply can’t afford to have another passenger in the side.

If we were safe in mid table, I’d be all for the youth getting a chance but we’re in a relegation dogfight.

Earthy is still going to give us more than the likes of Rodriguez, who checked out months ago and just wants a payday until the summer. Surely you offload that shite before kicking out your promising kids, who give a shit about the club? Besides, and I'm serious about this point, with the exodus that would follow a potential relegation, we would need the likes of Earthy in the Championship - where he has already played well. It makes no sense to offload him in January. He's not expensive. Let him sit and learn.

[southbankbornnbred]

I suspect / hope its purely the 2 serious injuries this and last season that has delayed him gettimg minutes because he’s only played what 5 - 7 games since returning this season. He appears to have everything needed to have a shot st playing at PL level and 2 seasoms back was ahead of Potts.  Those injuries have been the issue.  I’ve wstched 3 U21 games since hus return and he has been the stsndout player on the pitch each time ahead of Kante.  Not saying he can be a regular in the first team but looks ready for some minutes.  Uses both feet, is reasonably talk, runs all game and covers every blade of grass, great passing, good balance but most of all plays for the team. 

 

 

Agree with this. I don't see a lot of our youth team football these days, but I saw a lot of Earthy a couple of seasons back. He genuinely has talent. Undoubtedly decent Championship level and, had his development not been curtailed by those injuries, one who had a real shot at the Premier League. We should not let him walk - you have to find spots in the squad for some of these players. Offload the expensive dead wood passengers like Rodriguez instead: he has never been one for English football.

Obviously has had a slow start to the season with injury but hopefully ready now 
Our squad is thin and we will need everyone in this crucial period up to the FA Cup match

[Eerie Decent]

We've got a manager who is clearly prepared to play the academy kids in the first team, the evidence is undeniable.

He's also got the recent youth team coaches as his first team assistants.

I've no idea if this kid is gonna make it, but what's giving anyone the idea that the people who have watched him every day for the last 10 years, who the manager has promoted to be his direct assistants, are being ignored, if he is as amazing as everyone on here is telling us he is?

Ex has come out on X.com to say it's rubbish and not what he said.

So it's true then... 

 
You mean Hammers Chat lied

Some whispers a while back that he was going back to Bristol City on another loan.

Only six months left on his deal, mind.

 

[honky cat]

I remember people threatening to give up their ST's cos we sold grady diagana...

​​​​​​But im calling bullshit on this. I dont think any decision will be made on any player until we know what league we will play in next season, bar shifting a few unwanteds like jwp and maybe bringing in a few loans in january.

Thanks for reminding me why i dont bother with hammers chat.
