Maybe connected to the Carroll rumour? QPR plan bid for West Hamâs Diame Soccer - Barclays Premier League - West Ham United v West Bromwich Albion - Upton Park 30/01/2014 By David McIntyre QPR are likely to table a pre-deadline bid for West Ham midfielder Mo Diame. Harry Redknapp is an admirer of the Senegal international and made an unsuccessful attempt to sign him last season. He will try again on Friday in the hope a deal can be agreed to take Diame, 26, to Loftus Road. Rangers boss Redknapp is also considering his options after Charlie Austinâs shoulder injury left the club in desperate need of a striker. Austin, who has scored 15 goals this season, faces a prolonged spell on the sidelines. Enquiries have previously been made about Blackburn forward Jordan Rhodes, but the two clubs were nowhere near agreeing a fee. Diame, who was born in France, joined West Ham in 2012 following a three-year spell at Wigan. He went off injured after colliding with the advertising hoardings during a 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Wednesday.
Sounds a bit like Leon Clarke when we signed him - in his case in the last game of the season he had just scored a goal for Sheff Wed and broke his toe kicking an ad hoarding in celebration. Talking of Leon Clarke, I see he is now back at Wolves, but has scored lots of goals each season at League 1 level. Watched Coventry's FA Cup match at Arsenal and he squandered many good goal scoring opportunities.
most interesting part of that report is that it is only the fee that can't be agreed for Rhodes come on Tony did deep.
Could these two be linked swap deal? Hammers hone in on winger Queens Park Rangers winger Shaun Wright-Phillips (Action Images) 31st January 2014 6:30am GMT West Ham United are in the running to snap up Queens Park Rangers winger Shaun Wright-Phillips on loan, Sports Direct News understands. The Hammers are believed to be ahead of Stoke City in the battle for the ex-England international’s signature because he is unwilling to leave London. While Championship outfit QPR are willing to let him go despite using him in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers, the deal hinges on West Ham’s willingness to pay the entirety of his wages. The 32-year-old is one of the highest earners at Loftus Road and the promotion hopefuls are keen to shift his salary elsewhere between now and the end of the campaign. They are also willing to sell Wright-Phillips, but his suitors would prefer a temporary switch. Stoke have not given up on luring the wideman to the Britannia Stadium, with manager Mark Hughes having worked with him at Manchester City and QPR. However, West Ham are in the driving seat if terms can be agreed.

Fulham are keen to buy Mitroglou and expect to complete a deal today, but Allardyce is said to have launched a late attempt to sign him.
