What I meant to base this thread on was that I'd rather see Noble go instead of Parker. I'd been out and was a bit pissed when I wrote my original post out and I could've worded it better to be honest. Just look at the time I posted it.
I like Noble and I like the fact he's West Ham through and through. But as I said in my first post I feel he should be showing a lot more at his age of 21. I pointed to Collison and to add another name into the mix I'll add Fabregas - Most modern players in today's game who are really going to cut the mustard are established at 21 years of age. I'm sure there's many more players in the last five years who have been established and were already flourishing before the age of 21, but unfortunately the hangover is stopping me remembering some names right now. I'll post some up later once the head comes round, hopefully!.
The other point I was trying to get across was that for me, Collison has delivered more developed and established performances in the premier league in his short stint in the side than Noble has since we've been back in the top flight.
Just to reiterate my point that I meant to display. I don't want to see Noble sold, I'd just rather lose Noble at this stage of our season than Parker. That's if the money was right and it'd be invested back into the side.
Oh and for the record, unfortunately I feel Noble will never be as good or reach the heights Joe Cole, Michael Carrick or Fat Frank have.
