A Signing?: Surely Not
Well actually it would appear so. At least according to Kumb.com.
Apparently we are set to sign Hólmar Örn Eyjólfsson (David Pleat is going to have a field day commentating on this guy). He is an Icelandic teenager and comes with a very ‘highly rated’ sticker.
Here’s the thing though, he is a defensive midfielder/centre back….definitely something [...]
We May As Well Be Watching The London Masters [opinion]
According to Sky Sports and the Sunday Mirror newspaper, West Ham are ready to ship off Anton Ferdinand to Aston Villa for £10m and get in Kevin Doyle from Reading for £7.5m.
As a hammers fan, I am totally outraged by this “potential” move. We should not be shafting out the youngsters the club want to [...]
Ljungberg Retires: Two Teams Too Much
Freddy Ljungberg has announced his retirement from international football. After returning from Euro 2008 as captain of the Swedish national team, having failed to qualify for the knockout stages, he has decided that he just can’t keep up the pace of playing for two teams. Wishing instead to focus all his attention on the forthcoming [...]
Tevez Saga: Wait Until August?
A report coming from a South Yorkshire based newspaper, The Star has reported today that the Tevez escapade may rumble on (at least as far as we know) until August.
The newspaper has suggested today that:
the Football Association will not force Sheffield United and West Ham to reveal the outcome of their latest arbitration before domestic [...]
It’s Real: And It’s Gud
Firstly and I guess least importantly, It has been confirmed that West Ham will be playing Villareal in our final, “team on show”, pre-season friendly.
The game is taking place on the 9th of August at Upton Park…you can see a full list of our 2008/2009 fixtures (including pre-season) HERE.
Secondly and I’m pretty sure, far more [...]
Finally Something Is Happening: Sort Of
So, finally there is a little bit of confirmed activity surrounding our club. Don’t get your hopes up though, we haven’t signed any of the players we as fans would like. In fact, don’t even begin to think we have signed anyone at all….that would just be plain silly.
Basically, Jim Magiliton has confirmed that Ipswich [...]
The Rumours On The Mill Go Round And Round, Part III [Poll Results]
In previous weeks the transfer rumours being banded about the place have been somewhat resemblant of a rendition of the Oke Koke. In out, in out, shake it all about. Unfortunately for my liking there has been far to much ‘out’ of players I would like to stay, and not enough ‘in’ of the players [...]
Ljungberg is Back: And He’s Not Leaving
Having returned from the European Championships after getting knocked out with Sweden, it will appear that we have every intention on keeping Freddy Ljungberg on our books. Despite his ludicrously tasty wage packet.
Speaking to Setanta Sports, Ljungberg’s agent has said:
I met with [chief executive] Scott Duxbury and the new general manager Gianluca Nani and they [...]
Collinson Nurtured For Captaincy
19 year-old Jack Collinson has been describing to whufc.com his experiences of taking over the captains armband for the reserve team last season.
The youngster was picked for the full Welsh international side based on Reserve team performances alone as he only made one start for the first team in the 07-08 season (and I personally [...]
Upton Park Welcomes Ince Back (!): 30th August
Paul Ince has officially been appointed the new Blackburn Rovers boss (BBC Sport).
Not technically West Ham news I guess, but let’s be honest….when we play them on the 30th August at Upton Park, it’s going to be a very enjoyable experience.
I’m not entirely sure he is the best man for the job and if can [...]
