It's baffling really that three such tight-fisted people have done this. I was really optimistic that he might be over the worst of it - as someone said, he'd actually played quite a lot the season before - but it seems not. And he trained hard through the Summer as well, which made me optimistic this year.
As for saying that he's finished at this level, I'm not sure how he's not finished at every level. They still tackle in the MLS - it's just as physical, which surely means he won't be able to take it. If he can't be fit in the PL, he won't be fit anywhere.
It's a real shame as he's a cracking player.

Terrible signing in hindsight. Rarely on the pitch, and doesn't offer much at all when he is.

is it bad that he has looked better than Lanzini when he has played?

C&H said the G&S only wanted to give him 1 year contact, but Pellegrini insisted on a 3 year deal!
As other posters have eluded to - we always miss out on decent players that we dont want to pay the wages for and pay shitty players like hughill or sick notes a lot of money!

I would honestly rather keep Wilshere than get rid and bring in some cheap foreign import that MP rates.
If he goes that is all we would get in return. To hope for anything else would be dreaming.
On that basis and with lanzini injured, I would keep him until end of the season.

We should take note from Chelsea.
For years they have spent millions on players. Buying players like drinkwater just to complete their homegrown quota.
Transfer ban has come in. Now they have young british talent that did well in the championship looking brilliant in the Premier League. Mount, Abraham, James, Tomori etc.
It's a direction i would like to see us head in.

Chelsea also spent a fortune on their youth team for years and years, they won the youth cup every other year at least.

Players from championship recently.
Maddison 20 mill
Daniel James 15 mill
Harry Wilson - Liverpool would of sold for 25 now on loan at Bournemouth.
All 3 of them would walk into our 11.
Instead we spent 24 million or Fornals.
All I am saying is we should be looking closer to home but young english players from the lower leagues are often over looked especially by MP.
Holland must be wondering how bad the team has to get before he gets a chance.

It not like we have not bought/signed from the Championship at all.
Byram
Fredericks
Hugill
Martin
Going back
Antonio
Cresswell
It is easy to pick out ones that have worked out especially well in hindsight.

Well, not in hindsight. You say he was always going to be injured but, let's be totally honest, we knew there was a good chance of that but you never really knew. It had the potential to be a very shrewd signing. Even some of my Gooner and Spurs fans said it could be a goof signing....."If he stays fit".
And that was the gamble.
I fully agree with everyone that says the wages and length of contract are the part that was totally wrong. Bloody stupid if you ask me.

*Good signing
Although 'goof' signing is much more apt!

Not deemed good enough for a new contract at Arsenal, not thought good enough by Southgate for the World Cup squad, not thought good enough by Eddie Howe at Bournemouth!
But thought good enough by someone at West Ham, in a well run plc that someone would have to answer some serious questions! Next level, my arse.

if you d the maths:
100k a week for 3 years = 15.6m
Signing on fee = think it was 21m
another 21m down he karzi! I wonder if they have some super dodgy insurance policy that covers cost of injured players?

You have to laugh really we didn't have to fend off loads of club's to get the signing.
Only at West ham would you get rid of one Ponce then immediately take on an extra from Casualty.
On £100,000 a week for three years if anyone of us had made a decision like that you'd be out on your arse in no time.

There are just no words to describe the stupidity of this signing.
It set off alarms bells loud and clear about Pellegrini though.

Mulling this move is he? I bet he fucking is. Probably amazed that another club may potentially be stupid enough to take him on. Good riddance.
