Pablo Fornals, who left Premier League team West Ham United on deadline day, is expected to have a good influence at Real Betis after having a “excellent” start to life in Spain.
The rationale of West Ham’s deadline-day business is already being questioned, only two weeks after the window closed. Okay, given that neither Said Benrahma nor Pablo Fornals was a consistent starter under David Moyes anymore, their transfers to Real Betis and Lyon—despite a last-minute hiccup—seemed to make sense.
However, since those exits, the lack of depth in the attacking areas at London Stadium has been cruelly exposed due to the injury sustained by Lucas Paqueta.
The fact that Moyes felt forced to play full-back Ben Johnson on the wing against both Manchester United and Arsenal—the Hammers losing both matches by an overall score of 9–0—was indicative of his philosophy.
Pablo Fornals demonstrates to West Ham what is lacking.
Pablo Fornals’ “excellent start” in La Liga has left West Ham fans even more angry. The player who would be best suited to replace Paqueta made his Real Betis debut on Friday with a wonderful curling finish against struggling Cadiz.
Spanish football analyst Terry Gibson comments on Arsenal’s beautiful goal early in the second half on El Tel and Jon’s La Liga Weekly podcast.
“A great beginning for him. He’s going to improve them.
Just two of Betis’s seven league games had resulted in victories prior to Fornals making his Los Verdiblancos debut. The six-time Spain international cost roughly £10 million to sign with previous West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini, thus Moyes lost a lot of money on a player that cost the Europa Conference League winners a whooping £24 million to sign from Malaga back in 2019.
