BradMack Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Perhaps Floro is saying that Gold Cup is too soon for Will to learn his system? He isn't injured so that seems like a stronger possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One American Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Does Atiba eventually move to the backline this cycle? Potentially, a 3-man midfield with Piette, Johnson, Teibert, Osorio in rotation. In theory, he could move to CB or even RB.

DerHoota Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 This isn't the first time in the last few years he's had a groin injury, right? by the sounds of it he needs to find himself a better S&C coach and physic then what his european teams have been giving him.

Tesho-----Larin-----Ricketts/Finlay Teibert---Johnson/Piette---Osorio Sam/DJ--Henry---Edgar-----Atiba no no, we've discussed this before. we have TONS of centre back options. No need to put Atiba there. And his talent would be wasted at Right back. He needs to be in the midfield where he is most influential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Agreed - that would be an absolute waste. Re. his injury. You know, as unfortunate as that is, it gives Teibert and Osorio more opportunities and experience. Plus he could be fit by the knockout rounds. I have a lot of faith we will make at least quarters with his group. But yeah, it's a chance to solidify our midfield depth. There is good in it.

Keegan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Somehow I feel like the new deal he signed has a lot to do with this decision. It would be nice to add him to the roster as one of the players that can join for the knockout rounds, why not? If he has a chance to legitimately win a Gold Cup that may make him risk it unless his new contract stipulated that he needs to skip summer internationals this year and recover. “I don’t want to risk coming back too soon because I want to be fully fit for the start of the Turkish league, and we have some Europa group stage matches in September” We also have some important World Cup Qualifiers in September.

I think it's implied he'd rather be ready for those than the GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Atiba spent much of the second half sitting a few seats away from me talking to Paul Fenwick who was also taking the game in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I know it was mentioned elsewhere but I think this is where we should discuss the fresh Atiba to West Ham rumours. Bilic wants him for 3.5 million pounds, Besiktas wants at least 5 million. Have we ever had a club asking 5 mil pounds for a Canadian? http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/15/west-ham-lining-up-3-5million-transfer-bid-for-atiba-hutchinson-5344453/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Besiktas are just trying to get as much as they can in a transfer fee, knowing full well that Bilic is familiar with Atiba and is probably very keen to make a deal.

Ruffian Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I assume West Ham is just putting out feelers to see if they could acquire him, but probably would be unwilling to go above their offer. I don't even see any mention of this in any fan sites of West Ham. I think this probably won't happen but it would be great because then we could see him every week on our cable or streaming packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SthMelbRed Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'm going to Istanbul for a week in a couple of days. Sadly, Besiktas is away both in Thursday night, in the Europa League, and on Sunday, in the Turkish league. My second choice would have been to attend a Galatasaray match, but they're also away on the Sunday. I'm going to have to make due with trying to get tickets to see RVP and Lazar Markovic play at home for Fenerbahce on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMo Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Have watched every Besitkas match since September as I'm living in Turkey and Atiba's form has been absolutely spectacular. There is wide agreement that he is one of the best midfielders in the league this season and is sure-fire bet to play 90 minutes every match. Very good news for us next month. sose, jpg75, king1010 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Rumors of Hutchinson to West Ham re-emerged last week, but this report suggests a move for anyone is unlikely: http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/david-sullivan-west-ham-dont-have-a-penny-to-spend-on-wages-a3145071.html Fussball_eh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
