West Ham and David Moyes have had a grim stretch with personal since the turn of year. Losing star players through injury – to news of an important forward wanting to leave in, Javier Hernandez, gives the look of a sinking ship.

At first when the player arrived at the London club, everybody thought he would elevate the Hammers to a better standard of football – affording them enhanced results to maybe secure a spot in Europe.

Truth be told – nothing of the sort took place at the Olympic Stadium. Playing under ex-manager Slaven Bilic, who was later, sacked for predecessor, David Moyes, appropriate because of a succession of poor performances. The player couldn’t fit in with his new team and battled to make the starting eleven.

After the sacking took place – the Scotsman rein saw no difference in the player’s fate, and the striker was left in the bucket seats. Fair and safe to say … the player just didn’t and doesn’t have, the Hammers effect.

He started off like a house on fire and scored on his debut for the Hammers. However, it was awkward to lift his game when the whole team was having an abysmal time on the pitch. They were sitting almost rock bottom before making the managerial change.

Why the player wants to leave:

The case for every player who’s of International grade and able to make their World Cup squad – is to play as much football as possible.

Weather they’d take the chance at a smaller club, or bigger club, it all depends on the player and what challenges he has before the World Cup commences.

With six months to spare, the time is now or never. Hernandez has always had a great time in a Mexican shirt, and one can understand why the switch must be made.

Another reason to add to the players shout for out – is the fact his fallen behind his other attackers. Moyes has expressed openly, he has no desire for the player to leave, and wants him at the club after the season concludes.

On top of this, the manager has little options of a replacement for the outgoing and has a problem with injuries to players who occupy the same positions.
