SSN this morning reported that we are mounting a £14m bid for Darren Bent (previously stated as £17m) and the other day they said we may be in for Eidur Gudjohnsen in the summer.

I didn't hear what they said but I expect it has something to do with him being good friends with Eggy.

We have three days to get a right winger otherwise we will have to settle for Newton.

I've been crying out for good strikers for months! But who in the name of common sense thinks that Newton is even a Premiership player let alone a striker? Apart from his drug problems, what has he ever accomplished for the Hammers? He's a bench player if ever there was one.
As for Bent, I don't believe he's worth 10 or 14 million quid, or whatever the number is! If we've got unlimited money, we should try to get Baptista from Arsenal for a lot less; THERE'S a talent!And give them Newton.

I didn't mean to suggest Newton is a striker! But he's a lousy winger as well!
