The jury is still outside over Mr.

Whether it is worn by opportunism or impulsiveness, the acquisition of West Ham by Andrew Irving on the day of the deadline was met with dissatisfaction with fans and commentators, immediately abandoned the Austrian Clagenfurt, it remained hidden until the summer of 2024, when again when again Joining the main team, he remained hidden until the summer of 2024, when he re -joined LopeteGui.

Surviving LopeteGui’s Cull as Ward-Prowse, Potts and Earthy midfielders, we all loan, we as supporters thought there should be something hidden that was finally noticed by the coaching staff. Six months on, we are still not wise yet. Irving made his debut because he did everything else in West Ham – quiet, effective, but without showing or panash. Is it just a product of being in the right place at the right time?

Even after his debut, the opinions are separated. Some reports this weekend suggest that it is not good enough for the Premier League, others more special sports. “Andy Irving deserves more opportunities for the first team.” The condition of the artificial mini-culture provided to Irving by Hammers fans against Chelsea was a fan humor in the extreme-the talented Cole Palmer of Chelsea with the epithet “You’re just” Andy Erving was a delicious irony, simply because Irving was just “there there ” – Probably because of what he is not: he is not wounded, he is not Guido Rodriguez, he is not a responsibility for a yellow card and will not dive in the thoughtlessly and give away a free kick Mavropanos or Alvarez Style.

And so far, he has not shown the glimpses of – whatever it is – that made him worth a Punt when West Ham signed it.

Perhaps it is a very embodiment of the mediocrity of the depth of the West Ham squad. Solid, medium, reliable – and will soon be outstripped by more quality players I would hope for. But only so far he is “probably well.”
