'He comes alive around the box'



Martin Allen is looking forward to seeing Sam Baldock make a name for himself at West Ham United.

The former Hammers midfielder had the young striker at MK Dons and believed then that he had the ability to go far in the game. Allen, now managing at Notts County, told West Ham TV that Baldock, 22, was reminiscent of a former West Ham United favourite.

"He is cool, calm and a finisher. He is Cottee-like. He is not always involved at the other end of the field but he is razor sharp. He comes alive around the box and he can finish."

Baldock made his Hammers bow off the bench at Millwall last Saturday, and like David Bentley and Papa Bouba Diop is pushing hard for his first home start at the Boleyn Ground in the claret and blue - perhaps with Saturday's Kids for a Fiver visit of Peterborough United.

Allen said the No7 was someone who was devoted to becoming the best he can be. "I put him in the team when he was young. He has tremendous pace and is a down to earth, steady character. He has worked hard on his game off the field."

Meanwhile, Allen continues to work closely with another of West Ham's young guns, Cristian Montano. The 19-year-old Colombian-born attacker has been a revelation in his extended loan at the County Ground, which now runs until 9 October.

"Cristian is quick, has a good left foot and is very positive," added Allen. "He has played up front a little bit and out wide on the left. He is a great lad, trains hard and wants to do well. He is down to earth and a steady decent bloke."

Barrera not planning to make West Ham return


West Ham winger Pablo Barrera does not want to return to the Championship club once his season-long loan spell at Real Zaragoza ends.

The Mexican midfielder joined the La Liga side in August after the Hammers were relegated into the Championship.

The forward helped Mexico to victory in the Gold Cup in the summer, with a brace in the 2-0 final victory over USA, but did not want to continue his new-found form back in England.

"I am calmer and happier now and I have finally have a home where I feel comfortable," Barrera told Marca.

"As soon as I knew that Zaragoza were interested in me, I wanted to come here. I'm very happy and want to show that on the pitch.

The 24-year-old suffered a 6-0 drubbing against Real Madrid on his debut but his most recent run-out, his third for the club, ended in a 2-1 win over Espanyol on Sunday.

And now Barerra wants to prolong his stay in Spain, beyond the end of the season, despite having a contract at Upton Park until 2014.

"I pressed for this move," he said. "From the first moment I heard that Zaragoza were asking about me I wanted to go.

"I know people have high hopes for me and support me, so I am responding on the field starting with that win against Espanyol on Sunday. Now I'd like to do the right thing and stay here in Zaragoza."

Good bit of news that. Baldrick sounds like a good lad and a good buy, and Barerra wants to bugger off.

Cheers CH, I think it's best Barrera goes at the end of his loan at least we'll get a reasonable sum from his sale, and as for Baldock I would like to see him get a reasonable amount of time to show us what he can do on Saturday.

Cheers CH as always.

Shame about Barrera, but clearly he doesn't fancy coming back, so adios Pablo. Looking forward to seeing Baldock play now.

I'm not bothered about Barrera. It's one of those things, and it doesn't matter how excellently he performs for Meheeco, or Tharagotha. Some players just can't cut it for love nor money outside of their "environment". He isn't the same player outside of a Hispanic climate/culture, and that's that. The only way West Ham will see the best of him is if we give up the OS, relocate to Marbella and register for La Liga. A pity, but hey-ho. Let's go.

Cheers CH, as ever :thup:

Barrea had a new lease of life this year with Big Sam coming in but choose not to knuckle down and fight, poor show in my view.

Cheers CH.

Dont agree with what Barrera is doing, but I feel that if we can get 3-4 million from his move then we will have done the right thing.
