Also don't see the point in signing him on over 100k a week when we've signed a finisher in Lukaku and have Martial and Rashford who need games. Dont think Hernandez would want to sit on the bench either.

I'm jealous. I want him back.
Pretty good coup for West Ham. Hope he can nab some points off Chelsea like old times!
How many of those did he start?
Yeah Liverpool would be worse. I don't see West Ham as a betrayal. Liverpool would be.
The problem is I like him and want to see him do well but I would like to see West Ham relegated. It causes a conflict between my emotions.
I can't see why this should bother him though as it's my conflict and not his.
That was part of a tactical change of Schmidt, he was asked to get more involved in the generation of opportunities, so he would drop more and also go to the left lane.
Feck sake I'm glad he's back in the Premiership but now I have to wish him well in a West Ham jersey?
His strike rate for Bayer Leverkusen is .51 goals/game (39 goals from 79 appearances). That's decent.
Another Chivas fan here.
Great win in the Clausura earlier this year. Looking forward to this weekends kickoff against Toluca. Could be tough, especially with Chivas knocking them off in the semis back in May.Cheech still my favorite active player.
West Ham is his level. Good luck to him.
Awful club to join. I can see them falling apart if Bilić doesn't get them playing like he did in his 1st season. The club have backed him over the past 12 months in every window.
Love the player hate the club.
Rooting for him, Thought he could still be a great second striker for us and hope he does well on his return to the PL. Can't wait to see the reception he gets at OT. Kind of hope he scores like RvP in the Europa League.
Nice to see him back in the prem! Think he'll do well
So disappointed to see this. I know he doesn't really owe us anything but will be awful to see him play for that shower. Never should have been sold
Very good signing. Wonder what the fee is! I wouldn't have been against him coming back to United if he was willing to accept sub roll. As Jose said last season if he had a player like him alot of our draws would have been wins
First game of the season will be interesting now with Joe Hart and now Chicharito probably starting for West Ham. Just hope the guy doesn't score even though I like him as person.
14 games
Think West Ham are about his level right now. But the old cliche, his team mates are meh quality, i dont think he will bag many. Service will be minimal, and whipping crosses in wont be ideal
Can't stand West Ham, but I can't pull against Chicharito himself. I hope he bangs goals in against everyone but us.
Good move for him. Glad he did not go to the MLS. He still has a lot to offer. Other than Andy Carroll, he has no real competition for that spot. Looking forward to seeing him back and might add him to my fantasy team if I notice West ham are capable of creating chances for him.
It will be an exciting premier league season. Loads of parity and class players up and down the table.
Now I have a reason to watch Everton and west ham. Really hope Rooney and Chicharito do well.

Please lock this thread as it is pointless. He's on his way to West Ham
Good luck to him, hope he bangs em in for West Ham apart from against us.
So WH will have Hernandez and Arnautovic up front? Frustrating times ahead for the cock-er-nees methinks.
Yes he should have, he was woeful towards the end, and sulking like a child. I wasn't even remotely sad to see him go, and I know I wasn't the only one.
He would do really well in PL,good luck to him.
An incredibly limited player that is great at doing the most important thing for a striker, putting the ball in the onion bag!
West Ham are doing some great business along with Everton, although both have sold their best player recently as well (Payet and Lukaku). Can't see either finishing higher than 7th, however.
Will go straight into my fantasy team.
He's going to bloody score against us isn't he!
For such a so-called limited bang average player there's a lot of people saying he's going to score against us.
Which also happens to be the most difficult and most valuable part of the game. Should be a great signing.
Yeah that's what I meant mate. If they create chances for him he'll score goals.
I wouldn't have minded us buying him back as another goal scoring option.
I'm just surprised that other teams weren't in for him.
He'll do well for them I reckon.
I wasn't one of those who wanted him back as I was never his biggest fan. Lethal finisher but most of the time I thought his technical limitations held us back so I was firmly on Team Berbatov back when they were competing (good times). Seems a good fit for West Ham though. They're doing well this summer with Arnautovic, Hart and Hernandez already in the bag.
I think he is making a mistake. As a back-up forward he is actually top-notch. But he wanted more, he got that at Bayer. Not only they play the way that suited him, they also have a decent chance for qualifying for Europe, even CL.
Right now he goes back to England, where game is more physical, and he is already 29 mind you. West Ham play in completely different style, set up, it makes more sense for them to have Andy Carroll up front or someone like him. So i think Chicarito's might kind of revert back to squad-player, super-sub type of thing. Of course WH is paying him more, that a sure thing. I wish him luck, esp against rivals, but in general, over the next 3 years, not just this next one, i don;t think it will work as well as he hopes. I don't really see him playing regularly in WH in the seasons after this one.
Actually if he would be ready to accept a lesser role, Spurs would have been a great team for him. They need a sub poacher and Chicharito one of the best in that role.

Happy to see him back in the EPL, that's all. Love him as a player and a guy.
