Been out all day, then discover news re Antonio, he says maybe a blow out, or maybe just gong too fast in poor conditions between Theydon Bois and the wakes arms roundabout, came off road Into tree, no other vehicle involved, this is what I heard, both legs damaged, one could have a fracture, couple of toes broken on one foot, one ankle injured, cuts lacerations etc, more will be revealed, we all wish him a speedy recovery, at this stage, we don't know about any recovery period. the club will probably make a statement tomorrow, it has been suggested by some, that Monday night might be cancelled, this is very unlikely, Wolves Would make serious complaint to the FA, as long as we have 11 fit players we would be ordered to play the game TURNING back to football, the onus is now-on Steidten to sign a forward asap, we must have a forward, first week January, with the hapless Ings as the only back up now to injury prone Fulkrug

We have been screaming for a pacy young forward for a very long time. There isn’t another club in the premier league, which has had such a terrible recruitment record for CFs.

January will be a very interesting window.

You have.to look at Steidten last window, in the knowledge that Antonio was well past his best, and Ings just there to collect his money, an injury prone older forward is brought in, Loppy not to bkame, nor Sullivan there was opportunities for several younger forwards, and they where swerved, In my own view, and I’ve said it 20 times, it was criminal to start the season in that situation, now it has to be put right, Antonio hope he recovers well, looks like he’s played his last game for WH, we need two forwards in reality not one, go to it Steidten,

Sadly, at his age, these injuries could be career ending. At minimum, I think we’ve seen the last of Antonio in a West Ham shirt.

Yes, it’s not just his recovery which will be difficult enough, , but getting back to full fitness, after a long layoff, is another story again, his contract expires June 30 th, far too early to say what and Ifs, WH may or may not do, but I think it most unlikely they will extend his contract , but may possibly do something else, perhaps a testamonial I don’t know, he’s been a great servant to WH, far from the most skilled players we have had, but he’s totally unique, in his style, and because of that forged a bond with the fans, some years ago, I became friends with a certain spurs full back, now long retired, one night he said to me, whilst discussing football re Antonio. Well, it’s like tackling a moving wall! He’s become an Icon to WH, whatever happens we all wish him well
