Depends on how fit and mobile he is. We are not in a position to let sentiment play a role. Unfortunately I think his time being seen in a hammers shirt has pasts

I take it you are discussing Antonio, the player himself, closed the door, on his WH career, totally against the advise from his agent and family

WH were generous in their offer of £40 k a week, for one year, and then review the situation
Done in the knowledge, that he might never recover, his former abilities, and in the knowledge, that during that year, he may not make it back to first team duties, and so it proved
Also please bear in mind, that prior to his unfortunate accident, he had completely tailed off

To everybody’s astonishment, Antonio refused the WH offer, which was a bad choice, he wanted reinstatement at 85k a week for two year contract

Never going to happen, since then, Antonio has trained with a few clubs, Leicester, Gillingham, Colchester, maybe more, now with Charlton

Yes he was a cult hero, but remember he walked out on WH
WH did not walk out on him

He was finished before he did his Donald Campbell impersonation. Sad, but true.

IMO Antonio was a fantastic servant to this club, but he had already gone way past his best before he had his car accident. He showed great determination to recover from his injuries, but it would be a miracle if his previous level of fitness and skill had returned.

I don’t know what details were in the club’s offer, but it was obviously magnanimous of the club to make him any offer. He decided he could do better elsewhere, which is his personal choice. It remains to be seen if that was a good decision. However, everyone wishes him well.

Poor taste, Tin mentioning Donald Campbell and Antonio.

Brooking, people tend to overlook the fact that the damage on Antonio’s car was allegedly consistent with an impact speed of 60-70+ mph. The speed limit was 40mph at that location and he was alone in the car, with no other road users apparently involved. The driving conditions were described as poor. Antonio said his speed was about 30-35mph.

I believe he was involved in another serious RTA in 2019, but I might be mistaken. Campbell remains the only man to have broken both land and water speed records in the same year. Sadly, he was killed on Coniston Water, I think in 1968. Thankfully, Antonio was lucky to escape with his life and nobody else was injured.

Have to take Tins side here ( not the Campbell comment) but we all love Antonio and obviously don’t want to see him hurt himself. But I I get sick and tired of footballers driving their high powered cars way too fast and often in normal side streets. He crashed his previous car into a front garden in South Woodford some time previously. He completely totalled these people’s front gardens obviously speeding.

What if a kid had been there and got killed. That day he crashed the weather was absolutely horrendous and he must have been doing some speed to have the accident he had. I know i'm probably sounding like a killjoy or prude but use your high powered cars where it’s okay to do so. Sadly I feel the same way about Gakpo it’s a shame he died but you live by the sword……….

Apologies I didn’t mean Gakpo I realized as soon as I’d sent it.
