seems like anyone that is anyone does not want to come. Is it the wages? Is it our style of play? Is it our manager? Is it our reputation? Is it the fact we have wet and windy Tuesday evenings at the Brit? Is it that they don't like oatcakes? Who knows but it ain't looking good so far! http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/footba...o-snub-stoke-transfer-and-stick-with-west-ham
I saw that headline, was it in the Metro? Is that Scott Parker? I reckon it's mostly the wages and also certain players like to stay in London. Inevitably at some point in the next couple of seasons we are gona have to increase our wage cap to at least 50k a week. Hopefully we don't become a bunch of mercenaries like most of Prem teams. I also heard Barton is on 70k and so would not bother coming to us.
Do think Europa league will help us sign better players now though? Also, I'm not sure we want the massive egos and big wages that will undermine our team spirit.
we dont need scott parker he only has a few more years in him. I think we should we should be looking at players around there mid twenties!!
Hi Waddo, a combination of all, although Bolton ain't no Shangr-La in February!! Fuller we already have a mercenary in KJ IMO and there are not too many Jonny Walters around!! Big ego and big players need a BIG manager, nuff said on that! But guys, we really really must do something special soon, or else we will be the healthies team in the championship, moneywise. I read on BBC Sport just now that there are 18 ex PL teams in that league, let's hope we don't make it 19
So first Carlton Cole then Scott Parker reject Stoke's advances in order to commit to the Hammers cause and to try to return to the Premier League at the first attempt. Shame they lost at home to Cardiff today!!
Thomas Hitzsberger (SP) anybody?? Gets my vote - don't know if he was injured but wasn't in the starting line up
Well apparently we've agreed personal terms with Palacios with a £6m move (Possibly rising to £10m) According to a "Football_Agent9" Twitter account, that has over 13,000 followers. Official announcement will be made today/tomorrow. Let's hope this is true!
