This week, Hammers fans give their verdict on Freddie Sears, and whether his time at the club has come to an end.

My own personal opinion is to move Sears, Carew and Piquionne on. Why not try and test Bristol City or Reading with a player plus cash deal for Maynard and Kebe? – @rossihammer78

Loan Sears to Swindon, get rid of Piquionne and Carew, loan Nouble back to Gillingham and sign a real goalscorer like Sharp or Rhodes. – @JimboNorwood

If Sears hadn’t come through the youth system he would’ve been shipped out long ago. Sadly he is not good enough at this level. – @segalmark

My opinion is that Piquionne should go, Sears should be loaned to a League One side and we should bring in Bassong and Maeda. I don’t think we will get Rhodes. – @Metloroli

It is disappointing to let Sears go although he has never really been given a chance. He is always played on the right wing, but he is a striker.– @richdenm

We should get rid of Sears, Carew and Piquionne. All of them are not good enough. Rhodes would secure promotion, but I am not sure if ithe move will happen. – @KwamsMoriarty

I would rather Hall, Montano or some others were given a chance ahead of Sears, he does not look up for it. His touch and vision are poor, he has pace but that’s it. – @NeilNeil25

Sears and Piquionne are not good enough and should go. Carew needs to step up but should be given until the end of the season. – @jflynn84

Sears doesn’t appear good enough at any level, you only have to look at his goalscoring records when on loan. – @browser1983

I still think Sears should stay, we all saw the problems he caused Ashley Cole against Chelsea last year. Piquionne has to go. – @popey75

Sears can’t really cut it at any level. He has to go. Piquionne is worth keeping unless he can be replaced with a better option. – @niall_mcdonald

Sears is a decent squad player at this level. I would focus more on who to get in than let go. Our squad is alarmingly small. – @billy_jones1

Sadly, I think that Sears is too lightweight without the skill to compensate. Sell him, Piquionne and Carew, then go for Maynard and Rhodes! – @joepsherry

Although not a great financial option, any shipping out should wait until the summer. The squad is thin and promotion is by no means guaranteed. – @steamingirons
