Is it me or are there quite a few loose ends for O'Neill to sort out. The club website mentions O'Neill looking forward to a trip to South Korea. I would have thought that we need to sort: Gyan - Is he actually joining Al-Ain? Bendtner - Will be sign him permenently? Marcos Angeleri - presumably he is still with the club. Only 3 apperances in 2 years...but he hasn't been released! George McCartney - are West Ham interested in taking him permenently? Michael Liddle - 4 years with the club and no apperances. Will he get into the first team? I assume that Kyriakos and Bridge have left the club? I hear that Riveros has left but it seemed to be kept quiet. Also, when are we getting the new kit? no news on the club website
Oneill has very little to do here. Gyan is leaving and the club will receive a transfer fee and inform O'neill. Bendtner is gone and isn't coming back. Angeleri will go probably be released Someone (whu) will bid for mcCartney and he'll leave Liddle will probably go on pre season trip and Mon will have a look at him Riveros went a while ago. Bridge and Greek are gone. Mon will be focused on player recruitment and that'll be him identifying players then our board contacting clubs
George McCartney was nothing short of a revelation on his return to West Ham United on a season-long loan from Sunderland. The left-back has marauded up and down the wing all year long, producing a level of consistency and professionalism that saw him voted Players' Player of the Year by his team-mates. McCartney, who spent two successful seasons at the Boleyn Ground between 2006 and 2008, was at it again in the npower Championship Play-Off final, helping the Hammers to a 2-1 victory over Blackpool at Wembley. Speaking to West Ham TV on the pitch just moments after collecting his winners' medal, the 31-year-old celebrated one of the finest days of his life and revealed how much he has enjoyed being part of West Ham United this season. "This is probably the very top of my football career," said the No3. "There was a lot on the game and this is right up there with the best days in my life, apart from my kids being born! "It's tremendous and a once-in-a-lifetime moment in your football career." After starting for much of the season, McCartney has taken on a substitute's role in the Play-Offs. In the final, his introduction saw West Ham carry a far greater threat down the left flank in the closing half-hour. The left-back himself set Kevin Nolan up for a volley that hit the crossbar before the captain himself raced into space on the same wing before crossing for Ricardo Vaz Te's dramatic late winner. "I think Blackpool improved from when we beat them both times during the season. Both teams had plenty of chances but thankfully we scored the winner and we're going to the Premier League. "The lads have worked hard this season. Everyone wants to be in the top division playing against the best teams and the best players, so here we come Premier League!"
