Ilan – update
I`ll always have a soft spot for Ilan, memories of that superb diving header at Goodison, a header that kick-started our survival plan ensure he`ll remain one of us.
Released at the end of last season this despite a good goals per game ratio for West Ham, it finally looks as if the Brazilian has found some active employment for next season.
It`s being reported that Ilan has signed for the Saudia Arabian outfit, Al-Shabab, with a reported salary of £2 million a year.
Nice work if you can get it I`d say!
I completely agree with you, thought he would be brilliant for us this season. A good goal poacher, capable of scoring some brilliant efforts. In a way I’m glad he has gone abroad, just so he cant score past us and make us looking like fools in getting rid of him. Best of luck to him
If Barrera, or whoever replaces him comes good, he’ll (Ilan) be quickly forgotton. The hole that desperately needed filling was well filled by Ilan. Well done, but next please!
