West Ham Loanee Victor Obinna Loses All Perspective
By Chris Wright
Nigerian forward Victor Obinna has revealed that he chose to join West Ham on a season-long loan from Inter Milan after a chin-wag with his national teammate Nwankwo Kanu – yes, you heard that correctly, Nwankwo Kanu is apparently still an international footballer despite being 60-years-old and made entirely of Matchmakers.
Obinna is quoted on talkSPORT.com as saying;
“I spoke to Kanu, who played for [current Hammers manager] Avram Grant at Portsmouth, and he was excited that I come here. Kanu is the king. He said many good things. He was so excited for me to come here.
He gave me some advice before signing for West Ham and told me to go for it. He encouraged me. He has played under [Grant] and said they had a very positive relationship.”
The 23-year-old then lost all sense of relativity as his brain swarmed with possible explanations for his decision to swap the Italian fashion capital for east London;
“Inter have an amazing stadium, but West Ham have a big culture and a very long history. I am going to have a nice life here.”
Don’t get me wrong, the San Siro is very impressive – but didn’t Inter win some sort of treble last season? And the scudetto the four(ish) years before that? And haven’t they amassed a running total of around 35 major European and domestic titles during the 102 years of existence?
Although, West Ham did secure the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Team Award in 1965, so fair’s fair.

would he even sit on the bench at Inter? sometimes, truth is too painful, so you better talk about stadium and other sorts of things…
There was also the World Cup back in 66, but agreed not much since then.

Unless I’m very much mistaken, England won that World Cup in ’66, not West Ham? Or are the Hammers some sort of independent republic and history has it very very wrong?
jesus christ….relax you guys
i thought it was pretty dam funny and im a west ham fan. only thing is kanu is made of twiglets not matchsticks:-)!!!
Has Milan ever been the capital of Italy?
He’s swapped the Italian capital for East London has he? Presumaly he did so because the daily Rome to Milan commute for training was too much.
Aha, Chris @ geography lessons
he said italian FASHION capital learn to read fuckers
Erm, 1975 FA Cup trumps all that. GOOD DAY SIR!
good article. west ham are and always will be shit. their fans pretending to have won the world cup is one of the most pathetic notions in english football. the facts are that unlike a lot of teams in the world they do not have history, sophistication or an enjoyable atmosphere for players to play in. Without any of these you have to wonder why anyone would decide to play there? answer: they are all nobodies, never-will-be’s, pretenders or have been lied too. Enjoy your inevitable relegation under the porn baron, at least you will be able to console yourself with a quick trip down to southend or a pop to the local markets in east london…. what a place to live.

Obinna was on loan last season anyway, couldn’t even warm the bench.
Poor schmuck, it’s gonna be a long season for him in this shithole. Fortunately, he’s only 23, he may be able to bounce back somewhere else
Inter- San Siro? I dont think so….
“he said italian FASHION capital learn to read fuckers”
Try getting in quicker next time, lightweight.
@ ted balls
Not capital. But fashion capital
wouldnt blame many people if nwankwo kanu ends up murdered mysteriously at the end of this season
