Barrera (mexican dude) new beginning?

Seems to be playing really well in the American cup of nations (or whatever its called), hopefully we will see a bit more of him next season, and some goals as well. Didnt set the premiership on fire, but having been here a while may be more settled and give us some wide options.

you read my mind mate, was just going to fire up a Barrera thread
i think Grant totally detroyed this lads confidence , i expect BFS to bring him on in leaps and bounds given the chance
I say keep him and use his strenghts , , he is a tricky little customer that can deliver a good cross

Fingers crossed he comes back in the right frame of mind for a season in The Championship

maybe a proper manager will get the best out of him

Could be a first..."hammers get best out of player" shock horror

I think the same applys to a few other young fellas in the sqaud as well.

If you remember, we bought him because he played well in the WC2010 but was utter shite for us

I have whipped the slate clean, all the players who stay get
to start from scratch with me. See what
they can do ‘under new management’.

Makes sense Suz , gonna go with that myself , good call dudette

Totally agree those that have the balls to stay, fight for a place and help get the club back up, clean slate. Those billy big boots who are 'to good' to play in the cocopops, fupp off now, you are not wanted, you got us here, have the guts to get us back

BFS is working on keeping Green and Specs too

Why is David Gold Tweeting and can he please be stopped

X 2 When will these nobs stop this! Full of pish n wind and no fcuking sense for all the dosh they have

From Sky Sports

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is confident Mexican Pablo Barrera will enjoy a more productive second season in English football.

The 24-year-old arrived last summer for a lofty fee, although he failed to make an impact and eventually slipped out of the first-team picture.

Allardyce is now at the helm and he believes having English lessons will help the winger adapt to life in England.

Barrera impressed for Mexico in this summer's Copa America tournament and Allardyce wants him to replicate that form at Upton Park.
Big things

"He had a very successful tournament for Mexico and I am hoping for big things from him," he told the Recorder.

"It was a sizeable investment to bring him to the club last summer, but he struggled with the language barrier and the cultural changes of coming to a new country, so he hasn't had a very good experience here so far.

"In the end he was lost in the furore of last season because the manager went for his more experienced players to get them out of trouble, though of course that didn't w**k.

"I sat down with him and his agent to have a chat and I think the important thing is to make him as happy here as possible.

"That means English lessons for him and his wife and just helping him to adapt to life in England a little better. He is a very good player and I don't see why he can't play well in English football."

I hope so

This is soooo hard for me to say................I'm really starting to like BFS! Talks sense, is buying what looks like good players, and how many of us can remember 3 x clean sheets on the trot (even in friendlies!) things are looking up, well at the moment any way

:imwstupid: Loathe though I am to admit it. All he needs to do now is ditch the chewing gum.

x 2 on the chewing gum

X3 on the chewing gum , he looks like a cow from old MacDonalds farm , E I E I O

Must have been mates with Fergie at some stage!
