[Jags..class]

Not really keen on Walsh.

How can anyone say this when he been here a few months

 

[MikeH72]

He's a fraud. He won the league with Lester and we haven't won any leagues since he's been here. Like zero leagues, not even the xmas league or august league like the RS do. Sack.

We're going to win the under 23 league mate

 

[Bud McBlokeski]

Not really keen on Walsh.

He brought in Gana and Lookman and you're not keen on him?

 

[Papa Shango]

How can anyone say this when he been here a few months

Unless they work with him and know exactly what he does how can anyone say anything either way?

 

[EddyD]

He brought in Gana and Lookman and you're not keen on him?

Brought in Bolasie for 35m.

 

[nsno-chris]

Brought in Bolasie for 35m.

Not even close. Poor wumming

Not really keen on Walsh.

I'd be intrigued to know, from your extensive experience in the nuances of football scouting and the role of a Director of Football, what you base this opinion on

 

[Bud McBlokeski]

Brought in Bolasie for 35m.

£25m mate. Let's not go too crazy. Rom is still our record signing. And despite what you are trying to say, Bolasie is a good player.

 

[Moomin]

Not really keen on Walsh.

If you look at the facts, he signed a new contract with the league champions and within a few weeks resigned and came to us. This questions his loyalty. Also he has just left the league champions as they are about to start the campaign in the Champions League.

Now, most people want to compete in that elite competition for the glory, but he's turned his back on that for the money.

I accept it, he's a mercenary like Koeman and if someone offers them a huge wage increase they will be out the door in a flash. As long as they do a good job, that's all that matters in the end.

 

[Papa Shango]

Brought in Bolasie for 35m.

What a terrible deal this was for us. The price seems to be going up by the week!

 

[LABlue2]

Add ons mate. 25mm upfront plus 10mm for every potentially career ending injury.

That's an incredibly cynical outlook - on the other hand his brother played for us in the 70's and maybe he always wanted to be here. It's easy to say "it's for the money" but look what he walked away from to be here.

At least Koeman's doing a decent job.

At the time, recently crowned champions of the country embarking on a Champions League tour.

Face facts, he did it for the money.

If we somehow by a miracle qualified for the Champions League and Bill Gates bought West Ham and offered an incredible deal for Rom to join them, which he accepted.

What would you say motivated Rom to join?
