I guess he's had a bust-up with Potter at half-time. If not, why was he subbed for Wilson?

I accept service is poor, but for fuck's sake, back into the man and plead for the ball.
At the very least, run into space, to give options.
We have seen nothing like that from Fullkrug.
He lacks the hunger, that driving desire, to make it in this tough league.
To be honest, he's a bit shit.

It will be interesting to see the dynamic between him and Wilson who impressed when he came on and will now push him for his place.
Will this competition to start bring more out of him ? will he sulk if Wilson takes his place ? or could they even form an unlikely partnership in the mould of a Hartson / Kitson combo.
Its all very well throwing the toys out of your pram and talking the talk but he now seeds to walk the walk and become a positive influence for the good of the team.

He spent the whole game with his back to goal. We gave him nothing to work with in all fairness.
we do need a player more in the mould of Antonio who can create on their own. Wilson more likely to do that but when he came on the game was opening up.
not going to knock the player as we’ve seen it all before recently with the likes of Haller and Ings. All are good finishers but if you aren’t giving them chances they are offering very little.

He's pissing me off. All talk, he got away with his outburst on TV last season and now he thinks he's running things. Even if he stays, I think we'll get someone else in today and Potter will fuck him off.

Wilson showed the mobility needed from a central striker but obviously keeping him fit is an issue
The only out for Fullkrug is a possible loan to a German club where we subsidise wages or a free transfer

He was shit today. Yet many good performances today versus Forest.
Movement? He's a statue. Burly, but so timid in the challenge.
I think Steiden has saddled us with a turkey.

Talks a good game with all his chest beating etc but is toothless when it comes to the bread and butter. Thought Wilson at least ran around a bit when he came on.
Who took our team talk in the circle before kick off?
Who scored a goal, just disallowed for an offside?
Did Wilson have a shot on target?
Pointless discussion who's best, both are meaningless transfers
I noticed that aswell why was he doing the talking before kick off and not our captain ?
Because he's a big mouth who thinks he's the bollocks. So good he got rightly Subbed off at Half Time.

i told people that his ego is through the roof. I’ve seen it before with these guys. He thinks he’s some amazing tactician that if only people realised his brilliance he’d be managing Barca or something.
This guy has no right to have any kind of ego at all given the last 8 months.
So what happened when I called it out at the time he was doing all the Media Circuit for 18 long months (I wonder why..) was him believing his own hype. And all the pundits and presenters alike lapped it right up thinking they had some coup star pundit sign-up having just left a Club like Chelsea educating them all on how to play the fucking game.
It also didn't help that he was a Corporate wet dream with his super woke attitude that made it all look like a polished turd. But a massive huge stinking turd rolled in glitter he most definitely was.
Who remembers that cringey High Performance interview of his "learning" from all his past failures and vast experience at managing in the Swedish Leagues..
The longer he was out of work, the more magnificent he apparently became.
And the biggest con-trick of all pulled by Potter and his Agent was convincing us to give him a lucrative long 2 and a half year contract for rewarding his past huge failure at Chelsea. A place where he also won a big fuck off contract based on next to nothing but talking a brilliant game and having a soppy makeover thinking he was the man from Milktray! When in reality he's about as good at management as a milkman.

The sad thing is most of the prem teams are now run by serious footballing people. No one was trying to touch this guy with a barge pole. They didn’t rate him. Even Sullivan actually didn’t want him. Only people who don’t actually know football wanted him (Todd Bohley and Karen Brady).
sullivan is fiercely loyal so this whole thing is going to land on Brady as she brought him into the “mob family”. She’s going to have to tell him it’s not working, not Sullivan. I bet it was Brady that pushed to give him the full contract as well.
in fact, the only reason the guy is still here is because Brady brought him in. I’ve never heard of a manager with his win record last as long as he has at a top flight club. Moyes won something, kept us up etc.. to give him the credit to go 5 months with crap results. And even that was shocking. What we are seeing here in just bat shit crazy.
Sullivan must be the butt of every joke when PL clubs meet up. It’s just incredibly stupid management of any business.

He should have gone front 3 with Wilson, fullkrug and Bowen.
and just went direct with balls into the channels.
You have paqueta who can ping balls over defences and Bowen who can run on behind.
it’s all the fucking manager. There are some obvious tweaks to get results and he insists on this method. The other day he said he believes in his way of doing things so he’s just doubling down on it.
i told people that his ego is through the roof. I’ve seen it before with these guys. He thinks he’s some amazing tactician that if only people realised his brilliance he’d be managing Barca or something.
At least BFS had results to back him up even if I hated this football. Even Moyes did at some stage. This guy has no right to have any kind of ego at all given the last 8 months.

I'm not saying who is best, I didn't want Wilson either,over the hill and injury prone. Yes, I saw him take the team talk, then proceeded to stand up front waving for others to press whilst he stood there allowing their centre backs to pass it about. Lead by example, chase down, put a foot in, run about a bit, but he spent more time on the floor that on his feet. Not knocking him on his own, most of them aren't good enough, but what I meant is as much as he talks a good game and may well be a good pro, he isn't what we need.

Hope so, Scorch, at £10M and also get his fat wages and 3 years remaining off our wage bill I'd snap their hands off!
Those wages will be such a drain on what we can do in the future, he'll be 35 on £100k+ a week by the time it's up.
Yup just like Kilman. Although NO chance of selling HIM.
only trouble is if we do sell him, do you have any faith in anyone other than Antonio arriving? IF we can get someone better then fine. If we can’t then we are just shooting ourselves in the foot even more.
What I would have done this Summer was sell Fullkrug early doors for about £10M-£15M, put Bowen up top until we found a new young prolific Striker (might have to wait till the winter window if not this one) and actually give Marshall a proper chance now to prove himself after looking good in Pre-Season. Then kept Kudus and finally played him in his best position. Selling Kudus was mindless for just £55M.
Fancy selling 1 of your best players and weakening your Squad
intentionally.
This Clown HATES working with Youth players because he's a bottle job. Potts, Scarles, Marshall, FUCKING PLAY THEM. There's your youthfulness and legs in the Team we are all crying out for.

He was doing ok before he came to us. Champs league final and 15 goals the season before along with going to the Euros with Germany. Yeah I know the old feeling sorry for the millionaire footballer blah blah but he was sold a pup just like we were. Just like most players who have signed on in the last couple of seasons. Sullivan is doing the dirty on every cսnt who works for plays for or supports West Ham.
Still was far too risky paying big money at his age and troubling medical history. Was like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off and the exploding injuries kept happening in just his 1st season with us, but wasn't 1 bit surprised. Paying what we did for him and giving him a lucrative 4 years contract was asking for trouble and we certainly got it.
1 goal in his last 11 appearances, hauled off at Half Time says it all. This is the Premier League, not the Bundesliga anymore. I'd go all out to sell him with days remaining in this window if I had the chance. Get fucking rid West Ham!
cսnt even loves having regular tear-ups in the dressing room and mouthing off on Telly about how shit everything is. cսnt, LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOU GERMAN MESS.

He's as toothless up front as his gurning grin.
I’m not disagreeing it was a bad signing all round. I think it wouldn’t be bad if he left seen as we might get 5-10 million for him if we were lucky and I reckon he wants away as well but then we KNOW no replacement who would be any better is coming in. We’ll have Callum fucking Wilson as our main striker.
But I can see why the bloke is angry he came of a champions league final to THIS.

I feel bad for the geezer tbh. Was sold a lie
I fucking don't. Was always a spent Carthorse at 31yo who should never have been bought for big money (and big wages on a long 4 year contract) by his old pal Steidten (who sold him a pup) having worked together at Werder Bremen when he was young at his age and dubious injury record.
Borussia Dortmund couldn't believe their luck doubling their money on the waster at his age!
I predicted he'd get injured last summer when we bought him and lo and behold he has 2 lengthy injuries during the season taking an age to get fit.
Steidten had littered our Squad with expensive duds blowing a fortune and Fullkunt was symbolic of all that waste.
I also banged on at the end of the season that now he's back fit again, we should sell him instantly and cut our losses before we lose anymore on him.

I feel bad for the geezer tbh. Was sold a lie like all of us- and no doubt some of the other players and the managers- and his last chance of going to a World Cup is going to go up in smoke being here all season. At least he seems to care and have some professional pride unlike several.
