Is this the thread from September or a new one?

Always the risk with injury prone players is that they get injured
He is probably deceny when fit but unlikely we will ever see that. We got it wrong. Hopefully a lesson learned but he’s striker 54 under Sullivan and the track record shows no sign of improving especially now Sullivan is taking back control of transfers with Salthouse ( aka Shithouse )

He had a half-decent injury record in his one season at Dortmund - and played 29 games. But if you look back at the rest of his career, he’s been plagued with injuries (including a long-term problem with his knee).
Good player when fit. Which isn’t often enough to justify his fee or wages.
The new Andy Carroll. And he’s 32 next month.
Funny you should mention him. I hear theres some old fella knocking them in for fun in the french league, 8 goals in 10 apps. Not that we'd have him back, but if we did, he'd be crocked before baggage reclaim at stansted. We're just cursed for strikers.

He's been out since he signed so nothing new there...

You couldn’t make this shit up. Oh well, you would think that we’ll definitely be bringing a striker in now in this window, loan or permanent.

Seriously, I couldn’t care less if he never plays for us again.
I feel for any player with bad injuries. But this was a little too predictable.
Terrible signing by the club, all done out of desperation because of the collapsed Duran deal. As Iron Duke said, a long-term contract for a 31 year-old with a questionable fitness record was nuts.
There will be the usual finger pointing over who “exactly” signed him - Steidten, Sullivan or Lope. But it’s just another example of how we HAVE to do better with the (currently) stupid chair-tech director-manager disjointed transfer strategy we have.
People will wang on about the theory of how it’s “supposed” to work. But in typical West Ham fashion, the reality of our implementation has been a fucking disaster. It needs to be so much better co-ordinated.
You like the sound of your own voice too much fella, give us a break.
It’s a football fans forum, mate. It’s sort of the point.
Besides, you’re not exactly blessed with insight.

If he was half decent, then I'd give him some leeway but he isn't all that, he just skulks around the oppo area not drawing defenders he's just fucking useless.
Fuck off!

I questioned why we were spending so much on a 31-year old, and the length of the contract. But we’ve been incredibly unlucky with his injuries. I don’t think he was particularly injury prone in Germany. Certainly not in the last few years.

Maybe a useful player to have coming of the bench in May when points are required
