🚨 Niclas Füllkrug is INJURED again while on international duty, and for West Ham fans, it begs the question: are we truly CURSED when it comes to buying strikers? This isn’t just bad luck—it’s becoming a pattern that echoes the failures of Gianluca Scamacca and Sébastien Haller.
In this video, we dive deep into the infamous West Ham striker curse. Is it or Recruitment? Is it the pressure of the London Stadium? Or is there something genuinely unlucky about our centre-forward signings?
We analyse Füllkrug’s latest injury setback and what it means for the Hammers’ season. We look at the transfer history of the past five years, revisiting the massive spending on players like Haller and Scamacca—both brought in for big money and both sold on for a loss after failing to adapt to the Premier League.
Will Niclas Füllkrug be the latest name added to the curse list? His latest international injury raises huge red flags about his long-term fitness and ability to lead the line.
We need to break the cycle. What kind of West Ham striker does the club really need? Let me know in the comments below who you think can finally break the West Ham striker curse!

I am convinced he's been injured this whole time and it's been kept on the hush.
Not cursed, we've just got idiot owners who continually sanction the purchases of injury prone donkeys
Useless. King Antonio set the bar that none of these bums can reach
We definitely have a striker curse lol
🤣again
Knowing our luck he will end up scoring the winner for Germany at WC 26
Gatesy,what is your answer to the striker problem?Do we used Wilson of Marshall.Or reorganise the team with Bowen or other as striker 🤷🏻♂️
Gatesy we ended up with FULKRUG, after chasing of J.Duran,, but I still say we could of got a good young striker,or someone with no injury record, and I don't think HALLER,and SCAMMACCA were bad buys they were used wrong if the scouts reported right they would of realized they played with partners upfront, and we wanted to play them on there own what do you think ROBERT.👍
Not cursed. Everyone knew thus would happen. Club deserves to be relegated
Will he be missed? Put Bowen upfront until January and get a striker in.
Not cursed
He’s useless – it’s a blessing.
Calum Marshall must be given a chance
Its a good chance to play Marshall
No , just bad owners.
Subscribed – like the channel. I personally would try Soucek in the striker role – he has scored 33 goals for us, he's 6'4" and would be a good "Fox in the Box". Soucek, Marshal, Wilson see us through until we buy in a new young striker maybe in next window?
It was to be expected Gatesy.. start Marshall & if that does not work by a young striker. ⚒️
