He wasn't poor for us. He was our best player on a few of the limited games he played for us.

His attitude is questionable though. The rumour is that he refused to play due to an injury even though our physio had given him the all clear. This is why we sent him back.

So he wasn't poor but doesn't play much and has a bad attitude? That's sign him up <ok>
 

Don't see what was funny there. Journalists might wanna fill column inches with transfer rumours but this would be a pretty strange rumour to make up.

Something thing clearly happened because Allardyce was made up when we signed him but declined the option to make the loan permanent.
 
I know what we're doing! We're waiting until Victor Valdes becomes available at the end of the season and then sign him!
 
I agree with Adkins. Boruc is plenty good enough, Give him a run of games and you'll all see.
 
I just don't want a guy who is coming to the end of his career, West Ham fans have said how poor he was for them and how he looks a shadow of his former self. Plus the fact he will want a big wage, what is so wrong in not wanting that?.

I think some people just think of players they were a few years back and still think they will play the same when they actually can't. I'm not looking for a Messi or Keane reincarnation what ever that is. I would just rather have a player that is coming into his prime then one who is on the way out.


Does anyone remember the impact that Bolton received from signing players that whilst being at the end of their careers were still a class aprt - it kept them up for ages and they played superb football - cant for the life of me remember who they were - does anyone know???

He played well for us in 2 or 3 games. I think he only made half a dozen appearances for us.

Good player but you would be his fifth move in about 5 years so I think it's fair to say that managers aren't overly impressed with him generally.

you may find that Joe was laughing at your remark of "why would a journalist lie?" ... they often do, whether they have here or not.

And as I said, this would be a particularly strange rumour for even a journalist to make up wouldn't you agree?

Rather simplistic view of it. It may not be that journalists made the story up themselves, but rather got it from an unreliable source.

I don't mind signing older players, if they will actually bring something to our team, truth is Benayoun wouldn't get in if Lallana was fit. Then the reported 30k a week wanted is high for us just for a bench warmer.

I'd rather have one in his prime, however if Nigel thinks a little experience in the short term is good for us then sobeit. Yossi COULD fit that. I wouldn't want a fortune spent on him and he wouldn't be my choice, however I can see why we would be linked to him. I am surprised that few others can see why we could be interested a little. Not our "must have", but someone who could add something.

not really, as they can make anything up. Lambert was going to Blackburn last summer, according to one!

And it maybe true, I was just pointing out why Joe laughed.

I wouldn't mind on loan but it's being quoted on a perm.
