Cresswell and Balbuena available for selection

Excellent news. Cresswell straight back in, although Masuaku did very well I thought against Newcastle. Despite my momentary lapse of reason, around about the Wimbledon game, I am back as Oggies number one fan. I just can`t see either Oggy or Diop getting dropped at the minute. I know The General looked like our signing of the season, but who do you drop???? ;scarf

Nice link:

momentary lapse of reason ;wink

I think with Masuaku, it was a momentary attack of sanity. Cresswell every time for me

Good news

Means he can't force his way back into a contract

steve

;hmm after that game perhaps Carroll can force a new contract

The Times
West Ham striker Andy Carroll, whose contract expires in the summer, could have played his last game for the club after suffering an ankle injury which could mean the 30-year-old misses the rest of the season.

Yeoldhammer

;wave Andy Carroll

Cuz1

For me it’s a shame but think this season it’s shown injuries have taken there toll on his body

Hamstew

Tbh honest I'll be glad to see the back of him. But I do feel for him so hope he somehow finds another club and gets some games.

imagelost

Andy Carroll is just like West Ham,,,somewhere along,,never fails to disappoint
And like our dreams

EXETERHAMMER

One thing with Andy Carroll. He always tried his hardest on the pitch, and when at his best was unstoppable.

Shame it looks like he is yet again injured.

Bazshuayi

Andy has been obviously stop start throughout his contract (mainly stop) and whilst I've always desired him to do what he does best, its pretty clear we've moved on style of play wise. Even if he was fit, we pay him way too much to be any kind of impact sub I hope he finds another club and some sort of extended break from injury. Sceptical about that though...

BBC reporting that Jack Wilshire will be back training next week. ;hmm

Yeoldhammer

Didn't Pelle say Wilshire would not play again this season.

MrsGrey

Don't think so. I've looked back 4 pages and all I could find was a Daily Mail article link.

MrsGrey

If you google for news on him, you get 'season is over' and 'comeback on the horizon' ;lol


A direct quote from Pellegrini in this blog dated today https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/players/wilshere-carroll-west-ham-injury-15940241

"We are going to give him the time to recover 100 per cent. Maybe next week he will start doing some work on the pitch but we must be calm with him, he needs to recover 100 per cent."

MrsGrey

I noticed that Balbuena played for Paraguay in their international match yesterday. Getting fitter ;thumbsup

MrsGrey

Wilshere training with the U23s. Back with the 1st team soon, he hopes. https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2019/march/25-march/wilshere-declan-rice-has-done-himself-proud


Put that in yer pipe and smoke it, Daily Mail!

Sam Byram played his first 90 minutes since August with Nottingham Forest U23s this afternoon.

EXETERHAMMER

Looks like Carroll is out for the season after ankle surgery. That is likely to be the end for Andy at WHU.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Sums up his WHU career really

Several weeks of him missing with a mysterious injury followed by the announcement that his season is over

ASLEFshrugged

His gaff in Chigwell is still available on Rightmove.com

TheMadcapLaughs

Shame about Carroll, one of my favourite players, although his handful of appearances this season have been very poor. His body is not built for football. I should imagine that would be his playing career finished.

PrestonHammer

People are probably frightened of buying it in case they open the front door and the rest of the house falls apart.

Bazshuayi

I'll consider it after I've decided what to do with the replica of the Angel of the North in his back garden. I dont like the way that the carrots are arranged either... :ok:

OutcastLondoner

It's the Kevin Nolan shrine that worries me.

BubblesNeverDies

Preston you beat me to it.

Byram completes his first 90 minutes for Notts

Looks like he impressed

Dont think he will make it for us but glad to see him back, no doubt he showed talent when at Leeds

TheMadcapLaughs

I`d forgotten about Byram. Worth Pelle having a look pre-season. We had all written off Snodgrass this time last year, he`s still only 25, you never know.

ASLEFshrugged

Excellent article by Noble on Andy Carroll and injuries in general.
