It wouldnt suprise me if the club called back Bianchini from loan and used him as a placeholder backup St until Idah + Cullen are back from Injury imo.

Bianchini has been struggling with a knee injury recently, not played for a month or so

Not a bad shout re bianchini. Not good enough but very good jn the press

Mentioned this a week back. I would be happy if he came back if Benson returned to Burnley.
Would make a lot of sense, he can cover wing and up top given now that Idah is out for a while.
I think Bianchini could do well in a Matos set up.

Hopefully we can file this under silly season. The Hammers look like they've got other strikers lined up.

It would be nuts for us to even think about selling the only fit striker ever have.

West Ham agree deals to buy strikers Castellanos and Pablo for up to £47m

West Ham are poised to boost their attacking options by signing Gil Vicente’s Pablo Felipe and Lazio’s Taty Castellanos at a cost of up to £47m

Thoughts on Joel Ward?

Thoughts on Joel Ward?

He's 36 and has played 2 games of football in over 12 months, what's not to like.

Good time for Josh Thomas to come back after his loan spell with Drogheda.
Their season finished in November.
Scored 3 goals in 12 games ,
6 goals in 17 appearances in all competitions. Did pick up an ankle injury early on in the season.
His style of play well suited to the Matos way of playing.

FYI
Iwan Morgan joining Shrewsbury on loan

Thoughts on Joel Ward?

Has he been linked? Too old and not explosive enough for us

That’s quite spooky. It was only this afternoon when I was driving around Ynysforgan roundabout and asking myself what Josh Thomas was up to now. I hadn’t given him a second thought in months.
