Not much of a look in at West Ham. Would he fit in down here. Told he was surplus at the start of the season but recalled because of injuries. Must be looking for regular games.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Nope, not for me

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I just have a gut instinct with him that he might be a bit of a Leon Best, attitude-wise.

 

[Simster]

The sort of player who could indeed be a bit Leon Best, but on the other hand might be a bit of a Mike Small.

It's all about his attitude rather than playing ability.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Pretty sure I read he said he would go abroad if West Ham didn't give him a new contract

 

[clippedgull]

Not for me. We need someone with the energy and desire to achieve things. Not someone looking for a pay day.

and if he doesn't have one already, an attitude will probably crop up when he realises his nearest support will be the full backs.

 

[crabface]

No thank you, the West Ham fans i know have the same view of him as we do of Leon Best.

 

[Brian Fantana]

It's a no from me, too.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Been a waster at west Ham, would almost certainly be the same here.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I think he is past his sell-by now. Too slow and lumbering, not the sort of player we should be after. I'd be severely underwhelmed if spent a sizeable amount of money on him.

I think I read this as well, in the Evening Standard. Came across very well, involved in charity work in Africa.

He's not nicknamed 'Can't Control' for nothing

His 2nd touch is a tackle.

That won't be the age group that CH goes for when he sign's players permanently. He usually signs players inder the age of 26 where they have a sell on value in a few years.

I have a feeling there will be 4 or 5 perm signings and a good use of the loan market. Maybe more if we can off load the high earners. We can't afford to spend millions on players so we need to use the loan market but but it needs to be used wisely and well researched beforehand, especially if going for season long loand

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I get the impression he thinks he's way better than he actually is, and wouldn't dream of dropping down a division.

This is the way i see it Tony Bloom wants to get Albion in the Premier League via the absolute cheapest route possible.
Knockdown wages, knock down fees for players that not even anyone else wants.
Mainly cheap managerial choices like Hyppia.
Raking through the bottom of the shit bucket when every other club even league 1 & 2 have been through it.

That is the Bloom way and has been since he took over from Knight.
Not an insult just facts built up over the last four seasons at The Amex.
Get used to it boys and girls coz thats how it is, anything else is a massive massive bonus.

I'm far from being an Albion 'Licker', but this really is one of the most horse sh!t posts I've ever read on NSC. You sound like a spoilt brat. We all crave for some money being spent on good players but let's not conveniently forget that Bloom has spent a fair wedge on players.

Amongst a LOT of competition, this might just be the SHITTEST post ever on NSC. Well done.

Firstly, just to get the obvious out of the way, isn't the ambition of EVERY Championship club 'to get to the Premier League via the cheapest route possible'? They might differ on how much they think it will take, but none will spend more than they feel they need to.

'Knock-down wages'?
They are the highest we've ever paid. We lose £10m a year. Feel free to stump up more.

'Mainly cheap managerial choices like Hyppia'
This is absolute drivel. You think that Oscar Garcia, the highly rated ex Barca man, and Sami Hyppia, fresh from a Champions League campaign with Leverkusen, were 'cheap appointments'? By Championship standards? Compared with say Mark Warburton, or Alex Neill, or the chap at Watford nobody has heard of?

'Players that no-one else wants (not even L1,2 sides), as it has been since we moved to the Amex'
Again, absolute crap.
You think 'no-one else' wanted the highly rated Will Buckley, or the much coveted (at the time) Peterborough striker Craig Mackail-Smith, or 50 England cap defender Wayne Bridge, or Spanish LEGEND Vicente, or the record goalscorer in teh Spanish second tier Leonardo Ulloa, or ex Premiership keeper David Stockdale, or the highly rated Dale Stephens, or the League One top goalscorer Sam Baldock, or....


In summary, a shitload of pathetic whiney drivel
