The final piece of the Jigsaw is being sought by West Ham United as they attempt to construct the finest 'ghost squad' in the Barclays Premier League, European qualification is already guaranteed this early in the season and it is all but agreed that the club should push for the World Ghost Squad finals such is the belief in the 'team', the only vacant berth is in the goalkeeping area!
Hammers impressive line up includes Ryan Fredericks, Sam Byram, Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez, Jack Wilshere, Nathan Holland, Andrily Yarmolenko, Manuel Lanzini, Xande Silva and Andy Carroll, all that is missing is a keeper with a long term injury and the club will be set to compete. Really there are very few clubs who can compete with West Ham for ghost squads and of course some of the 'big' clubs are already sniffing around to see if they can pick up an outrageously over priced over paid injury prone casualty, but the Hammers hierarchy are having none of that.
An 'insider' was quoted as saying "the club has spent years and years building up such a magnificent bunch of failures, failure doesn't come cheap you know", they continued by saying "It is our intention to hold on to our injured players and that is that, the players are going nowhere!" The 'insideher' went on to say " furthermore it is our intention to recruit al least one more injury prone player, Sami Nasri, during the January window, and possibly one or two more, after all there is a lot to be said for having strength in depth for our ghost squad, we are very proud of what we have achieved and will continue in the same direction for the forseeable future".
And who said Hammers can't do things properly? - Ed

I think thats a bit harsh Ed. None of the list enjoy being side lined and at the time of purchase IMO only Wheelchair was an obvious candidate for the treatment room and for him we paid nothing.
