    Sounds to me he's been told to say this by an agent in an attempt to make us offer higher wages to "tempt" him away from Twente.

    There is talk that West Ham have agreed a fee for him, might make things, however they turn out, move along a bit quicker!

    Ill wouldnt be too bothered if we didnt get this guy now... He seems to have a bit of an ego problem and the end of August problem is starting to get old aswell..

    Also, what makes teams like QPR and West Ham think that these big wages are going to bring them success! Its getting old.. Especially QPR.. Ji Sung, Hoilett.. Behave! This is why i kind of admire the way Southampton do things!

    West Ham seem to have learned nothing.

    Overspend on wages.
    Go down.
    Financial trouble.
    Promoted.
    Overspend on wages.

    They missed the opportunity to restructure, now unless they plan on selling out an Olympic stadium there's no way they'll be stable.

    How much money do the porno guys have???

    The porn peddlers have doubled Ravel Morrisons wages to £60k and he is average at best. Hate the filthy bastards.

    Let him stay there and rot. We'll just get someone better for half the price. It's how we roll

    Don't know what the Fatal Attraction is with Michael Douglas. I heard his old man was much tougher anyway.

    I personally don't really take too much out of articles, that claim to state what a player has said.

    News sites and sources can make a simple comment seem like a massive thing by rearranging words and taking things out of context.

    If Douglas was really a ****ing **** than I trust that Pards and our scouts wouldn't ****ing touch him.

    We got rid of Barton quick enough because, despite being a great player for us, he was a disruptive influence and was creating a negative energy in the dressing room.

    If Pards and the club thought Douglas would be the same, they'd not sign him. Simple as.

    He's not the perfect man, but from what I've seen, he's no worse than Cabaye is. If we had known about Cabaye's tendency to be a bit petulant at times and lash out, would we still have bought him? I reckon so, because Cabaye's talent is worth it, and his little angry moments stopped towards the end of the season.

    We can help change Douglas as we did Cabaye, Ben Arfa ect.

    Douglas has the tendency to lash out, but he doesn't do that much wrong. And he's certainly worth bringing to the club IMO.

    I can live with Cabaye but Douglas is a different animal from what I've seen. You're going from petulant to a bit of a nutter. Typical south american temperament, hot headed and tends to lose it completely. I would agree though we'll have done our homework and will only sign him if we think he can be trusted.
