It really is a statement of intent that we are going after these quality players to bolster our promotion bid this year. NC is providing the means for NA to achieve this. Exciting times for us - I still haven't calmed down after signing Billy yesterday.
I expect we will be looking to loan Barney out in the loan period. Connolly may yet get a game, but can't see Barney making the bench now.
I bought a ticket for the Birmingham game solely because that will be when Sharp will make his debut.
Nice to see Bridgey will be back in the red & white stripes.. Even if it is for Sunderland! Ravel Morrison is a fantastic signing for West Ham, if he can keep on the straight and narrow he will blow this league away - Problem is, him + gangster antics + criminal record + East London = disaster waiting to happen..
West Ham are taking a big gamble - a player like that could disrupt their promotion challenge (fingers crossed!)
Well done Sam Allardyce, "Perhaps a change of environment will be beneficial to him" - yeah moving someone like that to East London, beneficial to everyone except society.
Nicky Maynard is also known for his stinking attitude.. Ego's galore at Upton Park, so hopefully, like you say, it will disrupt the dressing room and piss their promotion charge up Want us and either Cardiff or Boro to go up automatically. It just reiterates the fact that Billy was the perfect signing for us as well; humble, committed, hard working, talented. Will fit in perfectly with the rest of the squad! Boy am I glad we didn't go for one of the Big I Am's.
Almost made it to the end of the window without that one comming up again, maybe when he retires that rumor will finally stop
Mate, there are still one or two of us out here who are still getting over us signing Kevin Keegan, 30 years ago..! That was the jaw dropper of all jaw droppers.
