I cant seee NRC wanting to stay after all the pony he got thru the season. I'd like to see Anton stay IF he can get his act together Bye Teddy Dailly harewood Ethers? Konchesky's face doesnt fit Carroll is long gone What about Bowyer and Mullins; useful squad players. Bobby Z never looks quite good enough to me but delivers the goods. And Carlito? Who knows? Anyone out there we should be chasing? Barton?
Rumour has it that Mullins and Harewood are part of an exchange deal for Bent. Koncheskey for Baines at Wigan. Ethers to managerless Man City. Roy Keane was supposed to want Teddy and Marlon at Sunderland. Tevez yes i'd love him to stay. Eggy has all these plans. The one player we have who is definately capable of competing at the very top is Tevez.
I enjoyed this article about the man himself. http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/news/article2548708.ece Who knows what he's thinking about next season and good luck to him wherever he plays. I'm sure someone's reminded him of what happened at Napoli with Maradona! It'll be interesting to see whether Eggy's dream involves Tevez next year. I wonder what his relationship with Kia is like - it could have quite a bearing on the comings and goings this summer.
Now that Southampton are not going up how about Gareth Bale? He's a left back, I understand, that other PL clubs have shown an interest in. We definitely need to target that illusive right winger. Perhaps SWP isn't the right man but someone of his calibre. Harewood and Mullins for Bent is a good idea.
Bent has got to be in the frame. Right sort of price (now!), right sort of player (Bent and Ashton leading the line...Yes please), and a Curb's old boy too. I think we're at the back of a long queue for Gareth Bale and the bidding war will make any final fee over inflated. I read an article this morning linking us to Scott Parker. Another player developed by AC, unsettled at Newcastle. Hmmmm. While there's a pattern emerging..............Luke Young anyone?
Isn't it amazing, the season has just finished and I think West Ham are being linked with every available player in the free world. For what it's worth, here's my two cents/pence worth: Definitely Going: Reo-Coker Konchesky Etherington Sheringham Dailly Newton Carroll Cole Mears Possibly Going: Tevez Ferdinand Walker Harewood Blanco (Interesting that he played in the Testemonial match) Yossi Bowyer Mullins Paintsil (He played the other night as well) Quashie Definitely Staying Green Neill Upson Gabbidon Davenport McCartney Zamora Ashton Noble Boa-Morte Spector Collins Some possibles that I would like to see come in: D Bent Parker Jagielka Baines Feel free to add to the list. It's going to be one hell of an interesting summer. Up the Hammers
Don't forget about Mavis the tea lady, I've heard from a very reliable source that she's definitely staying!
I'm not so sure Brian. Apparently Wigan are suggesting there's some irregularity in her original registration when she joined us in 1952. Sheffield United think we should be expelled from the league for this flagrant breach of PL rules. FIFA are looking into it. Watch this space!
2 teaspoons of sugar is definitely against regulations. Seriously, Gareth Bale would be great pick up but we have a lot of competition for him. What we really need is a midfielder who is capable of scoring 8-10 goals a season. People have only mentioned players currently in the EPL but I expect we will look more to Europe, Eggy has contacts all over Europe so what chance Klose coming to Upton Park now that he is going to be released by his club?
Someone told me this morning we've been linked with Nuno Gomes (he's good mates with Dead Snake apparently), don't know what the source was though...
I'm not so sure about Mavis, the tea lady; rumour has it that she used teabags at the last home game, so she has to go! But Curbishley is eyeing Charlotte, the tea lady from Charlton who knows his particular preferences!
