Reliable West Ham United insider ExWHUemployee has been discussing forgotten man Felipe Anderson.
Eerie West Ham Farewell Boleyn similarities continue as run-in looms large
West Ham have actively been trying to sell Anderson since David Moyes’s return to the club.
A season-long loan move to Porto was meant to put the Brazilian in the shop window in the hope of attracting interest.
Anderson has endured disastrous Porto move
But it has been nothing short of a disaster for West Ham and Anderson.
The man West Ham paid Lazio £41.5m for (BBC) has made just four appearances for the Champions League quarter-finalists.
No surprise really given Porto manager Sergio Conceicao admitted he didn’t want the club to sign in the first place.
David Moyes doesn’t believe that Felipe Anderson has the work ethic needed to succeed at West Ham according to a report from The Sun.
After an excellent debut season, Anderson’s form has been terrible since.
Will forgotten man get another chance?
Some West Ham fans feel he has been harshly treated.
But others agree with Moyes’s assessment and feel it is right to go in a different direction with the likes of Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma and – hopefully – Jesse Lingard.
Claret & Hugh claimed this week that Anderson could even return to West Ham soon – although he would not be able to play as Premier League squads have been submitted for the rest of the season.
When West Ham fans want answers they tend to turn to ExWHUemployee.
The insider has been discussing Anderson’s future. And he says while he – like some others – believe Anderson should be given another chance, the club are still eager to ship him out.
Insider ExWHUemployee delivers Anderson update
“I would give him a second chance,” ExWHUemployee said on Twitter.
“But because of the wages and potential transfer fee I think they are already looking for an alternative club for him.”
West Ham have been operating a sell to buy policy since Moyes’s return to the club.
And it has to be said a more frugal approach to transfer recruitment has served West Ham well so far.
But it does mean West Ham will have to find takers for the likes of Anderson, Andriy Yarmolenko and Manuel Lanzini to boost Moyes’s transfer kitty.
