Besides me, what Yank would you like at West Ham? I'd like to see Clint Mathis in the claret & Blue. It would be cool to have the Hammers come to the US and showcase Clint up top. He could work with Jermain, he could work with Kanoute or Big Les. He's tough, and I think London would do well for him. Cletus would be an excellent replacement for PDC, less of a lunatic - but definitely a personality. Other Yanks: DaMarcus Beasley - he might be too little for EPl, but fast as diarrhea when you can't find a bathroom. Last chance: Eddie Pope In a couple of years: Carlos Bocanegra
if relegated - thorrington or onyewu with survival - sure, why not? bocanegra - heaven knows they could use him id prefer DMB go to AJAX
Onyewu won't get a work permit. Thorrington...needs to get out of Huddersfield quickly. DMB: Spain......that's the likely destination. More money, and style of play will fit him - unless he goes to West Ham.
I think WH have the small speed guy of the future in Defoe, so I don't think there is a place for DMB. Eddie Pope would be an upgrade on any of the WH back liners. JOB, would make for a nice Dmid or back liner. Steve Cerundelo would be a nice addition to the WH back line.
Edson Buddle--Big, powerful, young forward who is equally adept at setting up goals as he is at scoring them. Can play quite well out wide on the right if need be. Defoe and Buddle could be a killer combination.
I offered my services, and they told me they are looking into it. I was happy to be a consultant - can't get a work permit. I would just like to oversee the scouting and commercial side of the team.
While we need some bite in the midfield, with Cole, Carrick, Bowyer and hopefully Sinclair the midfield looks strong. Mathis is the guy....
Timmy Howard. James is world class but Howard's as good and more reliable. Put James on the block, get a few million, spend it on a central defender. Win win. Howard's half-Hungarian and either has his dual passport or is working on it.
