Tottenham could be set for a shock move for free agent Carlton Cole, 29, after the former West Ham striker was reported to have featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly for Andre Villas-Boas's side. Metro What a load of bullshit!
Sam Allardyce is set to have a medical at West Ham United.............. after agreeing to spend £5m on Stewart Downing.
Stewart Downing was asked why he'd consider leaving 'Pool for WHU, and he told reporters, "Well, Big Sam told me that he'll always pull me off at half-time. At 'Pool, the most you get from Brent is a quarter of orange."
Now that Wet Spam are becoming the halfway house for overpriced Comolli purchases, how long before Bentley signs for them?
After how well they linked up at Liverpool, who could blame Allardyce for wanting to reunite Downing and Carroll To be fair, it is an idea that works on paper, maybe a better manager than Dalglish can achieve it on the pitch.
So Liverpool have offloaded Carroll and Downing to West Ham at a net loss of £35M. Yes, this is the right thread for that!
