I hope he recovers for his and our sake but the striker nonsense has seen us go through a lot of strikers who have left us and gone else where and been successfulll. My conclusion is that we are cursed.
We have to remove this curse . Does any one know a Houngan in in the East End or any where in Essex??

When you say try, do they (our medical staff) know what the problem is? Has anyone said what the problem is?DusseldorfHammer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2024 6:44 pm Fülle is back in his hometown of Hannover and has started another try of rehab there at one of the leading orthopedists in the region. He's still weeks away from training with the team.
Very frustrating but typical West Ham.

Every chance his next appearance in a WH shirt will be for a different manager.

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
That’s actually a great idea. Back when they had money to burn Rangers was used as a dumping ground for crocks. Cost them a fortune!

Off topic but they didn't have money to burn . That's why they don't exist anymore.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2024 9:24 pm That’s actually a great idea. Back when they had money to burn Rangers was used as a dumping ground for crocks. Cost them a fortune!

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
I think they were fine financially until they really started to go nuts during the Advocaat years. That said, Murray boasting he would spend a tenner for every fiver Celtic spent really messed them up and McCann put the club on very good financial footing.

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
in a way they "kinda did" because they made all of those loans to players which they never actually had to pay back. maybe that's where the money went ?
I looked up the word loan in the dictionary, and it never mentioned anything about loans never having to be paid back..
funny that.... my bank never told me that I could keep the loans they made to me..... or the car dealership when I bought one of my many cars. Ford/GM never said "oh keep it you don't have to pay it back..." and if they did, I'm SURE I would have had to declare it for tax purposes....

I expect this to end with retirement due to injury, but at least he hasn't had the chance to contribute to anything, so we can't miss him.
His best performance is the interview

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
would assume were that the case, the club's insurance would pay up, no ? seems logical but of course logic doesn't always enter into it. or maybe the German national team's insurance ? would "assume" that players on international duty are subject to the national team insurance, I mean why should ANY club and/or their insurers have to fork out for something that happened not on active club business ???????????

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
Maybe he'll do a Mauricio Taricco. I suspect he's going to do a Max Cornet though.
Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
Our medical team, and recruitment team seem to be missing something. Between Fullkrug, Zouma, Wilshere, Cornet, Scamacca, and even Todibo, we’ve spent a lot of money on players who are either not fit or have injuries or fitness issues that mean they miss a lot of matches, I think much more than the premier league average. This new Fullkrug revelation is terrible news. We will have to sign a striker in January as Antonio has scored once in. 13 matches this season, 1 in 15 going back to last year and has one the lowest % of ground duels won and given the ball away at the highest % of the tine in the league this year. For example he lost possession 11 times vs Everton and only touched the ball 31 times

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
That they all run back to the Continent to get treated seems odd as well. I get going to see a specialist you trust, but these players disappear for months on end. Why can they not rehab in London and at least be around the club. When Fulk finally comes back he'll be a complete stranger. He'll have to start from square 1 again. Surely there's some value in knowing your teammates when you resume training.Peaches wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2024 10:15 pm Our medical team, and recruitment team seem to be missing something.

Re: ✍️ Welcome Niclas Füllkrug
I'll be amazed if he ever comes back from Germany. Another 20m plus write off to go with all the other players we've spent big money on who end up going for a free, shoved out on loan or sold for under half we paid (Anderson, Haller, Scamacca, Aguerd, Vlasic, JWP etc).
