Ex says with the budget tight he is not sure what will happen.
They brought him back for a second time. They have to back him, surely.
Some pictures from the training camp
Can see that Coventry, Diangana, Cordoso and Baptiste are all involved
Wanderers' pre-season friendly with West Ham United on Tuesday 25th August (k.o. 2pm BST) will be streamed live for free on the club's YouTube channel

Brentford at home on 29th August
Reading away on 1st September
Bournemouth at home in the BetWay cup on 5th September
Not a bad preseason, IMO
That's a very good pre-season considering that travel to and from overseas is severely restricted. We're not going to get Atletico Madrid at the London Stadium if they have to go through a 14 day quarantine.

Interestingly, with the squad split, you would expect a longer playing time for some players & then maybe a load of kids coming on.
That seems very odd, is our squad that big to field 4 different XIs
The Hammers’ first-team squad will be split in half, with one group of players facing EFL Championship new boys Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park, and the other tackling League One side Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Both matches will kick-off at 2pm.

Coventry Wilshere

Sub: roberto, cardoso, lewis, Kemp, Odubeko
So quite a few are going to have to play 90 minutes, let's hope there are no injuries
Surprised by Lanzini/Fornals in one match and Anderson/Diangna in the other.
Trust the Moyesiah.
Akinola - 21 year old centre back, think he captained the U23s last year
Adarkwa - 19 year old centre forward
Longelo - 19 year old left back (former winger)
Rosa - 19 year old centre mdifielders/attacking midfielder and sometimes at full back
Cardoso - 19 year old centre back signed from Boavista last year
Kemp - 21 year old winger/midfielders
Odubeko - 17 year old stirker we signed from Man United last year
