    Apparently a great start for Fulham last season, scoring 2 on his debut, then just 3 more throughout the season, when he could get off the bench.  Not impressive, in fact very Carlton-like! 

    He's just over 6' tall though, so probably the reason Sam is interested.

    Ohhhhh wait, Vaz Te is a whole inch taller and so is Maiga.

    Hammers net Petric

    West Ham United are delighted to announce the arrival of Croatia international forward Mladen Petric on a deal until the end of the 2013/14 season.
    Petric, who spent last season in the Barclays Premier League with Fulham, has played at the highest level in Germany for Borussia Dortmund and Hamburger SV, along with appearing in the Euro 2008 finals for his country.
    He notched 51 Bundesliga goals prior to moving to English football last summer, where five goals in ten starts for the Cottagers followed.
    He told whufc.com of his delight at linking up with the Hammers.
    "I'm very happy, excited and looking forward to training with the team and to the first game," Petric said. "I know [the Premier League] and I'm happy to be back in the Premier League, because it's a fantastic league and I'm really looking forward to being part of this team and this Club.
    "There are a lot of good players here and I'm happy to be part of such a good team and I hope we can all celebrate my first goal for West Ham as soon as possible.
    "I didn't speak to Sam [Allardyce] until today but I've heard a lot about him and I spoke to Guy Demel, who I know from my time at Hamburg and I'm sure I'll have a good time here.
    "I remember playing at West Ham last year and it was a very tough game for us at Fulham. I think we lost 3-0! It's not easy to come here [as the away side] and take points away."

    to be fair he was competing for the lone striker role against berbatov at flum, lets hope he does well Smile

    It's not bad as emergency cover. Hopefully the football Gods will be kind and we can scrape enough goals to stay up

    I know nothing of him at all Sire, only what I read and posted.  I too hope he does well for us, of course I do, he's a Hammer now.  

    It's just the history of us signing older players to get us out of trouble. It hasn't boded well in the past and it's this that is giving me doubts at the moment.

    I reckon we will sign him as well. We only had 23 players registered before this signing. Cole will make it 25

    good shout
    however add Petric wages and carltons wages and yet we did not get rid of anyone would make me wonder if we are taking a risk on the FFP or if our owners were playing a media game

    Soooooo,
    Weve had to sign another aging, average joe journeyman as cover.
    Hate to say it but I voiced my concerns loudly last year about the owners and manager putting all their eggs in the
    Andy Carroll  basket, the accompanying style of play and as quoted by D.S. "building a team around him"
    Can just prey it doesn't end in tears but feck me they are starting to well up !!

    But when we win again it'll all be forgotten, we will be ready for Europe Sam will be akin to Ron Greenwood and James Collins will be Bobby Moore.

    And then we lose.....

    This is a case of, "beggars cannot be choosers”.

    I still think we will sign Cole due to the fact that he better than this guy.

    I think the Dave's cock up in the transfer window.

    C'mon, Carlton is a half decent forward - the half of him that is decent is from his neck to where his legs start........Very Happy

    A good read , but still seems a stupid rule to bring in anyway imo. Just don't see it's going to make too much difference .

    Mr Cole has not quite left the building yet, he tweeted yesterday that he is at the training ground as the club are helping him get fit again, he said once he is fit he will then decide who to sign for

    While I wasn't CC's greatest fan, I also wasn't his biggest detractor. However, he is 29 left a premiership club in Jun and in August he is so unfit we won't offer him a contract! We then give him the chance to get fit using the clubs facilities and coaches and he has the cheek to say he will decide when he is fit who to sign for! Sorry Carlton you had your chance and have well and truly blown it IMHO, sod off now as you are nowhere near as good as your agent tells you!! Mladen Petric 2723394577
