I would not have picked Mido but the deal is a no brainer. For than money he's worth a punt. Don't know much about Ilan so heres hoping. All we can do is get behind them and hope we get through it. Come you Irons!!!<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=4710&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> I think this gives us options.

Equally, he's got my support when he's on the pitch playing for us. Every player always has and always will have. To be honest the despondancy mostly stems from the anti-climax that we as West Ham are always left with<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=4708&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> This is why I did update it when the signing was confirmed at a 4month loan and @ 1k/week…that’s quite smart.

I want West Ham to succeed as much as the next man but i can't honestly say that these signings have got me excited. Thats all.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=4707&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> Maybe up front, but what about at right and left back?

The man is so keen to prove himself and you have to admire him for that. However if a 1 goal in 3 striker is worth anywhere between £50000- £100000 per week in todays crazy world, why didn't our new business guru's offer him a pay per goal contract. Say £25000 per goal. If he's any good he'll earn a good wage - if not then he'll never play in England again. 10 goals = £250000 in 4 months and West Ham staying up. Every ones a winner! Like i said - i'm sceptical but when/if we see him on the pitch and for the risk he has apparently taken to prove himself in the Premier League, then he'll have my support.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=4706&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> Like you Sam i’m very sceptical over the Mido signing -but at £1000 a week it could be worth a try.

I've always got faith in our boys and I believe we can push on and still finish mid-table. However I pay my fees and I'm entirely entitled to my opinion. We will see with Mido - it may turn out to be a masterstroke, I hope it does.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=4705&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> With all dues respect fella 95% of the time this is one of the most optimistic West Ham blogs to read.

I cant see him getting in the team ahead of Carlton, Franco & Beni - not to mention this Ilan who by all accounts isn't a bad little player. I'm surprised he'd come to us after what some of the narrow minded idiots amongst our lot have sung about him in the past. He doesn't need the money, he's trying to prove a point and I'd rather have him in a one on one than Nouble any day of the week. With this many strikers there will competition for places which is healthy and we haven't had such a potentially good bench all season. So shut up and go to WHL if you're going to moan about the job that's being done.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=4703&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> Mido probably wont even get a game for us, he’s “cover”.

Or journalism for that fact. We now have the depth that would have provided 5 goals, which would have put us comfortably in mid table.
