Jason Roberts

Can Pardew buy another CC league top scorer and teach him how not to score?
I saw some reports on This is London and planet football that said Roberts is our number 1 target, does anyone know anything about him?
Up the hammers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grenada international. I had to look it up.

I knew he was a striker in the CONCALAF region. I seem to remember him giving the US back line a handful in the last round of World Cup qualifying.

Scored a PK against the US. Still, he seemed a manchild compared to our back line that day.

Agreed. I cant see Wigan letting him go.

Sez Sky:

West Ham are looking to sell out-of-favour striker Bobby Zamora to fund a bid for a new striker - with Wigan's Jason Roberts reported to be top of their list.

Hammers boss Alan Pardew is reportedly ready to let Zamora go, only a year after his arrival from Tottenham as part of the deal that took Jermain Defoe in the opposite direction.

Londoner Roberts may consider the move to Upton Park, but West Ham may find it difficult to persuade Wigan to break up Roberts' prolific partnership with Nathan Ellington - their goals having helped propel The Latics to second spot in the Championship.

Meanwhile Pardew appears to have lost patience with 23-year-old Zamora - who has started only nine games for the club this season - and is looking to off-load the player, with Stoke rumoured to be interested.

Zamora himself blames injuries and a lack of first-team opportunities for his below-par performances.

"I don't think it is fair to gauge my performances on 10 or 15 minutes here and there but that is football," he told the London Evening Standard.

"When I am sitting on the bench or warming up I can hear everything the crowd is saying and that is a bit hard to take sometimes.

"If you are not scoring every week the supporters will get on your back. If you give a bad pass they will get on your back. It is not what you want to hear," he added.

I can sympathise with him to a point but I'd have thought the solution was quite a simple one - Score some ********* goals and take a bit more care when passing. Problem solved!!

Couldn't agree more SX at the end of the day its what this guy does for a living he has been given chances which he hasn't taken - when you've got a squad as small as ours you can't afford to have one of the players not performing (especially when so many of the others are injured long term) - Which makes me wonder, whats happening with Brevett and Melville?

Guys, remember to just post a link and a small paragraph from the stories. Terms of service deal.

He's one of our best players - we simply won't sell him to you ;) .

Oh go on, pleeeeease!! You can have Zamora if you want.

It was worth a try.

Tell you what SamWAFC, we'll even throw Hutch in as well - go on, admit it, you're tempted now! :)

[SamWAFC]

no thanks... Jewell has unorthodox ways - he only signs and keeps hold of good players ;)
