£8m is an excellent bit of business for a player who did not have any impact really irrespective of what we paid for him.

I'm not a fan of Downing and at 29 he aint gonna have much value left in him when he doesnt produce the goods often enough.

wouldn't say it was a great piece of business for us but certainty for the Hammers.

the only thing i am pleased about is that under Brendan and FSG, is that if you dont produce the goods, you are shipped out regardless of status. gone are the days where we pay exhorbitant wages for ordinary players.

Are you sure? Do you think that Borini was any better than Downing even before he got injured or in pre-season after getting back?

This is what usually happens when you change managers, what counts is the outcome on the field. Was not much better in the 1st season, hopefully it will in the coming season.

quite sure Downing is paid more handsomely than Borini.

the game plan is to trim the squad of players who has little sell on value, of a certain age and who dont produce the goods often enough to justify their massive wages.

Downing ticks all the boxes. and Borini is close. but we are not talking about Borini are we?

No but both Borini and Allen should be next out after Downing if they fail to produce. Massive transfer sums for those 2 average players. Bet they are on higher wages than we might think too.

not when you consider we will still most be probably be paying half his wages while he plays for another Club. I just think its shocking how far our Club has sunk were Clubs like West Ham have took 55 million pounds worth of player off us for basically about 21 million after about 2 and a half years or so after paying for them. I just want shut of Henderson, Allen and Borini next, all wasters...
