Carlton to Spurs for £8M?
the Bun has Sturridge available from Citeh for £5.5 with Villa leading the chase. Surely that would be a bit of us eh? |

I think Coley is safe, Redknapp is now telling the world and his wife that he's got an interest in Kenwyn Jones. I'm sure Bent feels marvellous being
touted around like a bit of spare.

We should put a cheeky £5M bid in for Bent nearer the end of the window but no more and tell that Saggy, twitchy cunt to take it or leave it. If we get him
work the Zola magic on him and he'll come good again!

See that's why I think Wenger is the best. Goes in for Richards who is utter class but has lost his way with a cheekly little 7m bid. He's worth twice
that and should easily be the England starting right back. Easily superior to G. Johnston. He'd be a marvellous signing for us. Would really show what we
have been missing re a proper attacking right back who can get up and down, scores the odd goal, can easily fill in centre half (I know that's his
preferred position, but he's better at full back) and has buckets of pace.
Him or some Serie B winger? No choice imho. |

Hammers to keep Scott Parker, Robert Green and Matthew Upson
By ROB SHEPHERD, 24/01/2009 WEST HAM will offer new deals to Scott Parker, Robert Green and Matthew Upson to secure their long-term futures at Upton Park. The contracts for Parker and Green will come into immediate effect while negotiations with Upson will take place at the end of the season. Chief executive Scott Duxbury has fought off interest in all three players from the likes of Spurs, Manchester City and Aston Villa during the transfer window. Keeper Green, 29, will sign a three-year extension of his current deal and slightly improve his basic £25,000-a-week salary. Parker, 28, gets a two-year extension on his current £50,000 deal struck in the heady days when former chairman Eggert Magnusson went on a mad spending spree. That will take the England midfielder through to 32 but with the terms remaining the same. Belief But the club will wait until the end of the season until they sit down and discuss a potential new deal with Upson, 29. Green and Parker will have success-related bonuses inserted as part of the club's new strategic policy of streamlining their excessive wage bill. It allows Gianfranco Zola to plan for the future without the fear of seeing his leading players sold off. The ability of the Hammers to secure the services of Green and Parker will enhance the club's insistence they can withstand the consequences of the collapse of owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson's business empire. That belief has been enhanced by re-investing most of the £14million received from Manchester City for Craig Bellamy by signing 19-year-old German wonderkid Savio Nserkeko from Italian club Brescia Nserkeko will be formally unveiled by the club tomorrow. His fee is eventually expected rise to £10m which would make him the club's record signing, eclipsing the £7m spent on Dean Ashton three years ago. And while the Hammers have sold Matthew Etherington, loaned Lee Bowyer to Birmingham and expect both Callum Davenport and Julian Faubert to leave, they have also handed long-term deals to Carlton Cole and midfielder Jack Collison. Strategies The club is also weighing up a move for Fiorintina's Italian under-21 forward Pablo Daniel Osvaldo. It's all part of the club's new planning, aimed at reducing the core playing squad to 20, bringing down the wage bill and nurturing new, young talent. The policy will help reduce debts which now stand at around £42m having risen to nearly £50m before Christmas. And it is believed the strategies will make the club more attractive to a potential new buyer. West Ham is still up for sale but Gudmundsson is holding out for at least £150m. Gudmundsson's business liabilities will be reviewed by a court in Iceland in March but West Ham remain adamant that, such is the structure of the club, it can't be forced into administration. An insider said: "Gudmundsson has told the board to carry on running the club. They can't go to him for any more money but the income stream is strong enough to keep the club running smoothly." |

Another case of lazy journalism? Didn't he sign for Bologna last week? |

This is Shepherd we're talking about, Southcoast. I heard him on the radio only a couple of weeks ago saying we're in the shit big time and will be
selling everyone we get sensible offers on. After all, he's very close to insiders at the club.

And our record signing was not Dean Ashton (who cost £7.25m - not the £7m quoted) but Craig Bellamy, who cost £7.5m...

HAYDEN MULLINS will become the latest player to quit West Ham by joining Portsmouth in a cut-price £1million deal.Pompey have agreed a fee with the cash-strapped Hammers to bring Mullins to Fratton Park as boss Tony Adams' third signing of the transfer window. The ex-England Under-21 midfielder travelled down to the south coast to tie up a three-year deal. Mullins, 29, has hit four goals in 178 games since moving to Upton Park from Crystal Palace for £800,000 in 2003. But he has grown frustrated after being restricted to only five Premier League starts this season. Adams has moved quickly to strengthen his squad after Saturday's humiliating 2-0 FA Cup fourth-round defeat at home to Championship outfit Swansea. The Pompey boss sees Mullins as an ideal replacement for Lassana Diarra following the Frenchman's move to Real Madrid. |
