There's something about Barton that makes me want to see him running around Upton Park in a West Ham shirt, I am definitely a fan! I'd love Parker to stay, but if he doesn't, bring in Barton!

To be fair, it's not clear he was referring specifically to West Ham. It's far more likely he was describing his current situation at LeedsRode one wrong wrote: "Max Gradel is set to snub West Ham, who want to sign the Leeds striker. Allardyce has had a £2million bid rejected - but Gradel said: "If I keep playing well, I'll end up somewhere better.""

Hmm, not sure about that Ace. What about this line
'Are Fulham interested in buying me? Yes. I know West Ham are interested in buying me, too.'
Sounds like he's excited the class queen bee might be interested in him while he's embarrassed by the unwanted interest of the dumpy frump.

Faubert still wants to leave West Ham
France international Julien Faubert insists he wants to leave Upton Park despite his repsect for new manager Sam Allardyce, after the ‘worst season’ of his career.
France international Julien Faubert is still looking towards the Upton Park exit door despite a huge improvement in his form so far this season.
The 28-year-old came on as a substitute against Leeds United on Sunday and it was his cross that led to Patrick Kisnorbo’s hilarious own goal, while last Tuesday he made his first appearance of the campaign, setting-up Scott Parker for the fourth and final goal in the rout of Watford.
But as far as Faubert is concerned, his days at West Ham may be numbered.
“For me, I still want a move,” confessed the winger, who had a terrible time under Avram Grant last season.
“It wasn’t a tough time last season, I had the worst season in my career to be honest,” he said.
Patience and respect
“I think everything has now changed. The new manager has come with patience and with respect as well.
“He respects all the players and that is not what happened last season,” said the Frenchman with a sideways swipe at his former boss.
Faubert made just 14 starts in all competitions last season and was not seen in a claret and blue shirt after the disastrous Carling Cup semi-final debacle at Birmingham City way back in January.
He may still crave a move, but Faubert certainly has plenty of time for Sam Allardyce.
“We sat down and we talked man to man and I said to him, ‘if you need me at any time, I will give my best any time while I’m here.
“I think that is why I like this kind of man, because even if I’m not in the starting eleven, he respects me and he respects what I’ve done before in football and he knows I can help the team.”
West Ham are ready to hear offers for the Frenchman, just as they are for their three England internationals, but it seems that there is little interest in him at the moment.
“Of course, if I have to stay here I will because this is the best job you can have in your life,” he said. “I don’t think you can complain and I think that this manager knows what he is doing and that is why I try my best for him.”

Nice striker turns down West Ham move
..
West Ham target Eric Mouloungui has revealed that he is not especially keen on leaving his current club, Nice.
The Gabon international, who was first linked with the Hammers a few weeks ago, has been the subject of an alleged £2milllion bid, which was rejected by the Ligue 1 outfit.
However, it is expected that West Ham will return with an improved bid of around £2.5million, which would test Nice’s resolve to keep hold of the 27 year old, who can play either up front or on the wing.
“I do not want to leave (Nice),” Mouloungui told Nice’s official website.
“It is true that staying in my situation (his contract ends in June 2012) is complicated.
“I talked with the president, and we want to find the best solution for the team and me.
“In football, everything is fast, but today I am 100 per cent Nice.
“I am here, I get along with the staff. I have earned the confidence in recent months.
“Now I have to be effective.”
Despite Mouloungui’s recent revelations, a West Ham spokesman revealed that the player, who has scored 14 goals in 80 appearances for Nice, is expected to arrive in England this week, to discuss a move to Upton Park.

Home win will come - Nolan
.West Ham captain Kevin Nolan is confident that elusive first home win is just around the corner.
The Hammers have conceded last-minute goals in losing to Cardiff on the opening day and being pegged back 2-2 by Leeds on Sunday.
Boss Sam Allardyce blamed a "fear factor" around Upton Park but midfielder Nolan insists the players have to learn to handle the pressure.
"We have to deal with the expectation," he said.
"But what I will say is if we continue to play like that, we will start getting the results at home."

Dean successful in West Ham trial
Blyth Town Under-15's goalkeeper Dean Parsons with West Ham United's head goalkeeping coach Paul Tighe.
BLYTH Town Under 15’s goalkeeper Dean Parsons has been signed up after a successful trial with West Ham United.
The youngster has only been a keeper for two years and has got into the East Northumberland side.
The Championship side’s goalkeeping coach Paul Tighe said it was hard to believe Dean had only been a keeper for two seasons as he spent most of his trial with the older squad at their academy, where he more than held his own.
Paul said he is looking forward to working with Dean this year.

It is Sam's job to rebuild confidence and rebuild a team.
As for Nolan who the f*** cares if says he'd love Barton here - I would too.

Barton can be good as long as he behaves, would he?

If true, why on earth would we be trying to sign a player who doesn't want to play for us.....I'd rather we use this money to cover possible Barton wages or indeed part of Parkers wages if he stays..
