Simone Zaza

Position: ST

Games Played: 11 (571 minutes)

Impact So Far: None. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Next: Ferdinand To Join Staff?

The Italian striker was subject to much ridicule in the summer after his penalty attempt in the European Championship drew media headlines, but his efforts for the club so far have been just as laughable. There’s been a lot of huff and puff but nothing in the way of actual end product. As a striker you need to start

Potential Future Impact: None. As much as I’d love him to bang in 5 hattricks between now and January he’s not going to. As such he will return to Juve and there won’t be many upset fans in East London.

Transfer Grade: F+. He worked hard but produced nothing of note. Not the worst player we’ve had but couldn’t live up to the owners’ promises.
