Matthew Etherington
Etherington stirred up plenty of excitement amongst Hammers with his performances whilst at Upton Park but the 33-year old winger is way past his peak. Having been released by Stoke, West Ham’s official twitter page posted a picture of Matty training with the first team squad in order to maintain his fitness.
David Gold then took to twitter to tell fans that Etherington was looking ‘lean and mean’ in training which led to speculation over whether or not we would offer him a contract. However, I feel that he would end up being nothing more than surplus to requirements if he was to pull on the Claret and Blue again.
A winger would give us more squad depth but this would probably not be a fairy-tale comeback for the ex-Hammer of the Year.
