The 'problem' with slating a player before he has even stepped foot on the pitch is that you then want them to fail, period, so that you can then shout even louder and be proved right to a bunch of strangers on an internet forum. Now Paqueta has gone, I see ''look at me everyone'' Massive has now switched all his attention and venom onto Traore and Disasi. I'm sure he thinks all this is for real and that it really matters.
I slate them because they are fucking pony. It only took Traore 15 minutes for instance to show his worth as a failed WWF wrestler and for all hell to break loose leading to our best Centre Half getting suspended for 3 games. But by all means keep an open mind about how well Sullivan and Nuno have re-balanced gutted out the Squad and delivered the only signings they have. Others see it differently.
Personally I'd rather wait to see how they get on first instead of screaming from the rooftops 5x a day on a football forum about how shit they are. It's demented. Your opinions are not worth more than anyone else's on here, so there's no need to keep repeating them.

They're not because they didn't say that.
They imply it by making a song and dance about his World Cup involvement.

Frankly, at this stage of the season and given where we are, the Disasi signing is all about his attitude.
If he turns up hungry for first team football, and is prepared to put his body on the line and go through pain to win tackles, headers and individual duals, then great.
If he thinks this is a nice, easy way for his agent to put him in the shop window at a “already relegated” side for a few months before the summer - and Chelsea just want him off their wage bill for a bit - then he’ll be as useful as a chocolate teapot.
We need Dawson mentality from him. You’ll know soon enough - first few tackles, most likely.

Disasi isn't bad if he is 100%. The fact he has hardly kicked a ball and then made last minute demands despite him not kicking a ball for months means he is off to a bad start with me. He also seems to favour the right side......where really we needed more of a left sided CB
Don't think he starts saturday

He's right about the roid donkey, he is shit.
Chelsea's broken toy? Might not be shit but it's been so long since played it's very,very likely he'll be shit for a long as we need him to not be shit.

I don’t know much about Disasi just what I’ve read from the experts on here. It would appear he is the French Max Kilman but without the ability and for that reason I’m writing him off already. I might even start a new thread “ Is Disasi the worse CB in our history “

I don't want the player to fail but I knew Phillips would be a nightmare, given that he hadn't played regular football for months, so why would it be any different for this bloke in an even more key position? This relegation is all on that 4ft cսnt

Can’t say I’ve seen much of Dizzy. Chelsea have about 14,000 players on 28-year contracts, so he’s barely kicked a ball.
But if he remembers how to kick a ball, that would immediately put him ahead of Kilman,

Yeah it is, I have no idea about this Disasi bloke, but I reckon he may be alright based on nothing but a hunch. Traore I was trying to have an open mind on but wasn't impressed at all the other night.

What a shock no attempt to replace Paqueta and the money spent on the two forwards that had already come, yet the club didn't want to sell him, how convenient...

The official West Ham propaganda guff cracks me up..
West Ham United is delighted to confirm the loan signing of France international defender Axel Disasi.
The 27-year-old has five caps for France and was part of the squad that finished runners-up at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, appearing as a substitute in the final against Argentina.
Who the fuck are they trying to kid? A France International Superstar! You mean, 5 Caps with 4 of them as very late Subs to waste time and the only full cap in a loss to Tunisia over 3 long years ago.
When they bang on about playing in the World Cup Final against Argentina, it was for just 1 minute at the very end of Extra Time to simply waste time.

This Axel Disaster geezer had a decent record in France but he’s lived up to his name since being in England.
Thing is he aint gonna be ready as he aint been fit all season. He has simply replaced Igor as a squad backup.
This window confirmed that the owners esp Sullivan have given up on survival. The priority for the owners is cost containment because West Ham has been run as a ponzi scheme and its all caught up. The owners will never invest and we’ve been spending via loans against revenues from future TV and ticket revenues 2 seasons into the future. Relying on PL related TV and ticket revenues that wont be there any more. Like I say, a ponzi scheme about to collapse
