West Ham snap up Taricco

West Ham - they're our sugar daddy and our feeder club all rolled into one

Hooray, the cheating thug has gone and done one and joined those tarts from east london. I think a pattern has emerged over the last few years - if you've got a crap player and want to get rid, contact West Ham; if you've got a decent young player that needs some first team experience, contact West Ham, then recall him when he starts showing promise; and if (and the chances of this are falling) West Ham have a decent young player, make some indiscreet noises and he'll come running to the Lane.

I'm just surprised they didn't simultaneously put in a mega-money bid for Dean Richards!

I think you underestimate Taricco. He was a consistent player & never let us down. But he is not needed now with Edman & Kelly their

Damn, Sendo, you're so right! Tano has been our first choice LB for 6 years and always gave 100%. If others in the team had given their all like he had, we'd have qualified for the CL. Granted, we'd have been thrashed, but we would've got there.

By far my favourite Spur for a few years now. All the best Tano :(

Glad he found a new home as he did play out of position for numerous years without complaining and without screwing up too much. Sure he was a thug and played a little dirty but he gave 100% and I wish him well.

Why don't we just set up a deal with West Ham so they can officially be our feeder club?? I wouldn't mind throwing them a few bucks a year so we can give more players first team experience and we could really dominate the London youth market and develop quality players like King and Ifill more often.

A little sad as my prediction was Richards going to West Ham as replacement for Davenport but oh well Richards can probably still bring in some fee from some dumbass club out there somewhere.

No loss, except if we get a huge injury hit at the back.

You had to like the guy though (if he was playing for your team).

To those who dislike Tanno, this will endear him to your frigid hearts!

He left them after only 27 minutes :D I see a move to Ipswich or to a certain Italian club coming as soon as he regains fitness.

I think those who dislike Tano are the opposition supporters, as Jumhed said he always gave 100%
