So Albian Ajeti has been sold to Celtic for £4.5m. Whenever the PA announced his brief substitute appearances it always sounded like "A Yeti" was coming on, which is of significance for Doctor Who fans, though he never showed any Great Intelligence. The club has done well to get £4.5 million for a player who never looked good enough and was yet another example of West Ham's poor recruitment.
Ajeti never started a league match for the Hammers and only started in three cup games. He failed to score and played 400 minutes without having a shot on target. What a waste of the £8million WHU paid to Basel. He did score on his debut for Switzerland, though that was against Iceland. But why Pellegrini and Husillos sold Chicharito and replaced him with the Swiss striker is still baffling. He looked a downgrade on Jordan Hugill who at least scored 13 times for QPR while on loan last season.
The signings of Hugill and Ajeti are illustrative of the scattergun approach West Ham have had to recruitment. The club has spent £16million on two strikers who have never started a league match. Why sign players we have no faith in?
