Summer 2013 silly season

Ah but a sceptic, like me, or an agent will read that as everybody has their price.

And to say we are no longer a selling club is pretty much unrealistic-everyone is a selling club. The only reason we can say we are is there is nobody worth selling really!! As in no-one other than a similar club will want our players.

He does talk the talk and say the right things though-and I don't believe the club could be in better hands.

good job James has the same agent as big sam, nolan, carroll

All of whom are connected one way or the other with Newcastle! Is the agent a Geordie??

no idea if he is a geordie or not,
name of Mark Curtis.

14.4 million bid turned down for negredo apparently. Could be a ploy to get Carroll to sign as has been mentioned

Amblrosini supposed to have said good bye to Italy and heading to London

isn't he ancient?

No thanks

Lukaku - yes please

todays bollix
Ba - loan
Zaha - loan from the mancs
Ambrosini - free

Might be bollix but I'd be happy if true

Gold has said we are after two 'quality' strikers
make of that what you will

Would love to see Demba Ba back at West ham on loan or on a permentant deal him alongside or just behind Carroll would be a very good strike force to have in this league ,
And the fact Mourinho as said that Ba can leave means i feel we have a very good chance to signing him imo

"The Chelsea pair - Lukaku and Ba - are of real interest to us because one or the other may well be excluded from Jose's final 25.

Doubt if Lukaku would be included in 25 man squad-he has only just turned 20. Bloody hacks.


I doubt either really.

Chelsea would want Ba's wages covered in full and Ba would want to play. Unless Sam sticks him on the right wing-he won't get games and Sam ain't going to change his system.

Lukaku, Chelsea want him playing week in, week out at a good level (Prem or equivalent abroad). So, the above applies-if Chelsea and the player are happy to be played on the right wing; we might have a shout.

Both players, and the loaning clubs expectations, are rightly not interested in being a Plan B, or second fiddle.

If we nicking players from Chelsea, I'd rather Essien to fill that vital holding position.

West Ham could be set to offer ex-Stoke City midfielder Rory Delap a Premier League lifeline, SportsDirect News understands.
The Hammers secured record signing Andy Carroll from Liverpool in a £15 million deal on Wednesday and despite the presence of Matt Jarvis and Kevin Nolan, manager Sam Allardyce believes Delap and his renowned 'javelin-style' long-throws could help Carroll terrify defences next season.
The 36-year-old was released by Stoke at the end of the last campaign  but spent the first-half of this year loaned to Championship side Barnsley.
He impressed during that period and made it clear he wanted to make the move permanent. However, should West Ham make a formal approach, it is likely that the once Southampton man would opt for London.
A source close to Stoke told SportsDirect News: "West Ham have made an initial enquiry but so far that's all there is to it. Rory is no longer a 90-minute player in Premier League terms but he would fit into Sam's style of play and could have a big impact when West Ham are chasing a goal."

really do hope that is a wind up Tony 

Got to be lazy hack talk. Our supposed physical style, and a direct approach means any Pulis cast off is heading our way. No better certainly than Joey or Dribble-far from it and other than RB with a throw-in option at the goal area; I can'tee him having the game to be att. wing man!

Still, keeps us angry and busy discussing it!!!

So do I mate !

NO FLIPPIN WAY!!! it should be against the law to employ any former Stoke player, Pulis sides were all animals and I wouldn't want any of them at West Ham

Wot Motty said, and especially not towel boy.......Pulis even turned Etherington into a cheating, diving animal

Rumours of James Milner to West Ham growing - we are favourites to sign him at 5/2. #whufc

West Ham hold strong interest in Steven N'Zonzi. via @ITK_TRANSFER #whufc

can we afford Milners wages ?? he aint going to be cheap

Don't know if Milner is what we need unless we need a winger who cannot get past people, cannot run and is built like a brick shit-house?

Actually the last bit may appeal to Sam. Unless we are sticking him in the middle as DM-Paul Scholes taught him to tackle thiough...

fast , nippy and can beat a player
but when it comes to the final ball is as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition
