RandomGuy. Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) He's said in an interview that he travelled to England to meet those at West Ham before signing the deal. Also says he expects to have pre-season there to challenge for a spot, but knows a managerial change likely makes it more likely he'll be loaned out again. West Ham fans are pretty unanimous it was a deal done entirely to create a "link" between the two sides, and that he'll spend his entire contract without playing a competent game for them.

West Ham fans are pretty unanimous it was a deal done entirely to create a "link" between the two sides, and that he'll spend his entire contract without playing a competent game for them. if indeed the case, works well for player and both clubs in this instance. Usually though youth players, those on the fringes, and sometimes those out of favour from within the bigger teams' ranks will be passed on to the feeder team. Quite unusual for the bigger team to buy a player with the sole intent of loaning in order to create a link. In fact would imagine Irving was picked up either on a free or a marginal amount, and will not be on a great wage. All very unusual but interesting - assume no other West Ham "player" at Klagenfurt currently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Its the AFC Cup this weekend, featuring Central Coast Mariners (Australia) v Al Ahed (Lebanon). Noticed that there is a Scottish guy called Lee Erwin that plays for Al Ahed, ex Motherwell, Killie, Ross County, St Mirren and a few other non Scottish clubs. He's scored a few goals since leaving St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind of player folk on here and twitter would have been foaming at the mouth to get given a crack back in the bad days for Scotland. Not now though thankfully. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/11766100/lee-erwin-lebanon-motherwell-scotland-euros/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 He's not a Scotland level player but he is a good player, I reckon he'd still be a decent striker at Premiership level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Haven't seen anyone mention it, but Scott McKenna and Max Johnston are both in good positions to finish their respective club seasons with winners medals as both Copenhagen and Sturm Graz top their respective leagues. Hopefully they can both achieve that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Scott Banks finally returned from injury today for St Pauli. Came on as a sub at 1-1 and got the assist that won the league. He was immediately subbed back off for a defensive player Warra 12 minutes though, get him on the plane. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chripper Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Great news for Max Johnston. No. He didn't start a great deal (2 the last I looked) but just being a part of the squad and having this experience is something that money cannot buy. The more Scottish players who win trophies, the better. Especially abroad. Hopefully Scott McKenna is next to pick up a league winner's medal In Denmark.
