David would be a great signing and should get it done ASAP
They won’t get David ,sully doesn’t have the ambition
I think now would be a good time to reflect on West Ham’s Canadian links over the years. Craig Forrest was a solid back up ‘keeper for many seasons. Alex Bunbury had a brief handful of games in the 90s before achieving success in Portugal. And Doneil Henry lasted a few training sessions under “Big Sam.” But certainly, the longest association with the Maple Leaf is Karren Brady. She’s had a little Canadian in her for decades now. After all, former Birmingham City and Canadian striker Paul Peschisolido is around five-foot-six?
Is he as good as Craig?
Craig Forest was in goal for Ipswich when I went to my first ever football match which was randomly Ipswich v Newcastle in 1995
Craig is a top man, always liked him as a player and I'm pleased to see he's still extremely likeable and speaks well about the game. Let's have more Craig!
Craig is a top bloke, speaks well and very honest opinion, if you do end up getting JD or Kone, get him back on the show ⚒
Please let's get him if we do i will be good for the rest of my life
This striker position is so important as moyes has cocked it up. As a east ender living in canada I can tell you david would be a huge risk. I don't see him fitting into the premier league. He would not be an upgrade on Antonio. He would quickly join the ranks of scamacca and Haller. In my opinion I think it's a huge risk and one we should not take.
Whats wrong with west ham no ambition
Great guest Geo!
Can’t see any more players coming in until we sell.
So no point getting excited – it ain’t happening!
Is that Hugh Grant in disguise? 🥸
I might be a little silly in saying this but I’m not super excited about David.
Yeah, he’s good. Yeah the other guys good bye them already, jeez 🤮
Brilliant interview COYI
David's attitude seems exceptionally good. He will score goals. We need someone to make that CF spot their own. If he was to join today (and I was picking the team) I would probably opt to play one of him or Antonio LW and one as the 9, with Kudus as the 10 and Bowen as the RWer. We need to play with an inverted winger on the left next season. I can't watch us not getting the optimum out of Kudus next season. If we brought in a left winger as well, It would demote Antonio to the bench. We need to work around what we already have, in my opinion. I think if David signs, we need to get an inverted LWer as well to truly validate playing him as the out-and-out 9. David, a LWer (Wesley, Philogene, Summerville), Max Kilman for Aguerd, and a trade for Downes and KWP would be enough for me. I said this in the summer, I want attacking talent pumped into the side. The defensive side will be much better the minute we have a manager who doesn't insist on playing JWP.
Agreed about both. Great to see a Canadian hero on.
Craig spoke well fair play
Kone is going to Marseille
