    Well, this has backfired on him. Sure this is the stuff dreams were made of last summer.

    Ha, yes. With mayonnaise. He got a taste for it under Koeman but Puel insists on red wine and brie.

    Yay he's gone. Good riddance. 7 years of fantastic loyalty and quality leadership/defending has been undone in a few weeks. I feel no sadness because he let us down, wouldn't even play since handing in request.

    Puel says he has behaved professionally but has not let him train with the team. Make sense?

    onte said: “I signed for West Ham because they are a great club and a very big club. They have a lot of fans and I have known for a number of years how passionate they are.
    “The manager was also a very big influence. I thought that he really wanted me and that he sold me the project and the ambition of the Club.
    “I also have part of my family living in London and they are big West Ham fans. It just made sense for me at this stage to join West Ham. It is a new challenge and a new beginning and I am looking forward to it.
    “With the way that West Ham is going we can only look to be challenging in the top eight.
    “I told the manager in conversations that we want to win and we want to win trophies. The ambition is big and we need to aim high.
    “West Ham are a massive club and it is an exciting challenge and it should be for everyone. We all need to get together and start working.

    What utter **** <laugh> Win trophies? Sounds like he knew what he was going to say for joining United.

    We were only saying last season he's past it! - only playing because he's the captain!

    What he meant was "cheers for the captains armband" :)

    Les Reed getting a bashing on Twitter for not signing a replacement.

    People twisting his words again - he said a replacement lined up, not a replacement signed and though the door before Fonte is allowed to leave. Anything to have a pop at the club though, eh.

    Good luck to him. Hope he ends his days in a happy environment. Hope all the penalties he has got away with all come back around between now and the end of the season and Shane Long runs him ragged while Redmond runs rings right round him.

    I told you all in 2014 that this would happen because Les Reed is a failed coach at Charlton and Cortese was the brains of this operation and none of you believed me!

    Now you must all respect my superior football knowledge. You can't get anywhere by selling players!

    Good luck to him. For us it's free money.

    I bow to your infinite knowledge and foresight of the one constant running our club for the last 7 years of progression.

    Amazing how another 3 years of progression AFTER Cortese left happened though, isnt it.

    So the last player from League 1 days has left us. An end of an era.
