West Ham will 100% be spending on a striker. 3 minutes ago, Donnyboro said: West Ham might need to get real serious for latte lath now fullkrug has done his hamstring Is he going to be someone that Potter wants though? Just appointed so arguably at a strong point in his relationship with the club. You'd think he'd only be getting players in that he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinoJo3 4,685 12.1k Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 13 minutes ago, Changing Times said: The 12 goal involvements he had last season, even without any penalties won, puts him somewhere near the top of Boro players for the past decade or so. If you exclude strikers, who will generally get more for obvious reasons, it's only Azaz this season, Forss the season before last, and Traore a few years back who have topped that number. After that you have to go all the way back to 2014/15 to find players beating those numbers like Tomlin and Leadbitter. Even on his down year Jones had 8 goal involvements, McGree by comparison had 9 that season, when he was apparently brilliant, and he played 800 mins more than Jones who was rubbish that season. You can moan about my opinion all you want but Carrick and Scott seem to agree with it 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they agreed with your opinion that he'd only had one good spell here, and that came under Wilder, then why would Jones have still been here at all or been given a new contract?

Probably because he still had value so why lose him for free and there was the chance he could rediscover that early form he showed and the club persisted with him.

Izzy wasnt poor at all by the way i loved him most of the time. sad to see him go. but he didnt want to be on the bench i guess. we can get someone else in who's hopefully more suited to the way carrick teams play.
