Go for Zo


Former Italy striker Zola has been lined up to replace Sean Dyche as Hornets chief in a major overhaul at Vicarage Road.

The new Italian owners want to bring in their own men and ex-Chelsea star Zola will be joined by director of football Gianluca Nani — a former colleague at West Ham.

Scott Duxbury, who has helped broker the deal, is expected to be named as the new chief executive at the Championship outfit.




good luck with that lol

Is passion and heart enough?




The career of Mark Noble is one of loyalty and passion for his boyhood club tainted by inconsistent performances and poor decision making.



The 25 year old midfielder is currently the longest serving West Ham player with 8 years and 192 games. Noble has always declared his love for the club and has no intentions of leaving. Captaining the U-21 England team and scoring 3 goals in the process made Hammers fans feel the academy had churned out yet another fantastic player.



With an eye for a pin point pass or a killer cross that make keepers quake in their boots he can produce fantastic displays, he can regularly be seen barking orders to the players and has the ability to fire the team up.



The problem is, that though the above seems like an ideal central midfielder, Noble lacks consistency he can be Iniesta one game and look like a Sunday league player the next. Pin point passes become wildly aimless and his crosses are not worth the energy it takes to strike the ball.



So if a captain should lead by example is passion and heart enough to justify strings of poor form ?


In my opinion yes.



We have a rare and hard to find player, a player who pulls on the shirt and feels pride, a player who gives his all everytime he steps onto the turf, a player who would do just about anything to help the club.



He is a propper West Ham player, who would be missed by the team and fans alike, the captains armband could be just what he needs to shake the inconsistency and be the captain fans have longed for, so for me no more journeymen looking for a pay packet, no more players that look at West Ham as a stepping stone, let’s start giving the armband to the players with West Ham in their hearts!

Farewell Freddie, fantastic debut but unfortunately he wasn't good enough and should have left some years ago for his own good. I wish him well wherever he ends up.

espn

West Ham have ended their interest in four-time Champions League winner Clarence Seedorf after being put off by his £70,000-a-week wage demands.

Clarence Seedorf toasts his injury time winner for AC Milan against Chievo
GettyImagesClarence Seedorf recently left AC Milan after a decade at the club

Seedorf, 36, is available on a free transfer having left AC Milan after ten years at the San Siro and West Ham had been weighing up a move for him in a bid to bring some valuable experience to the squad ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Hammers boss Sam Allardyce has a track record of getting the best out of football's elder statesmen with Youri Djorkaeff, Ivan Campo and Jay-Jay Okocha among those to have starred under him.

But despite initially showing an interest in Seedorf, West Ham are unwilling to meet the Dutch midfielder's wage demands and are worried that he would be more prone to suffering injuries as he is in the twilight of his career.

"No, we are not going for Seedorf despite being linked to him," a West Ham source told ESPN. "The club are concerned about his injury problems considering that he is now 37, and despite the injury worries he still wants between £60k and £70k a week

The Hammers are, however, keeping tabs on another veteran in William Gallas, who is expected to leave Tottenham this summer.




pity i would have loved to see him in the claret and blue

To start you off for next weeks news CH, here's :arry: quote for Monday - just a bit of fine tuning for you to do ....

Yeah, I actually tried to sign "insert name of Euro 2012 Final Man of the Match/Everyones talking about here" before he went to his "insert name of present club here". I've always admired him and I went to watch him play regularly while he was in "insert name of country here". I was very impressed and met up with him and he was dead keen you know, but, well it was "insert name of club that he was playing for at the time" - they wouldn't entertain it and I tried everything to get a deal done, but you know, and there weren't a lot of people who saw it in him, but I did and, well, that was a real real shame as I reckon he would have been the difference at the time and we could have won that league you know, but yeah always knew he was a great player and he's not proving me wrong is he!.

Ladys and Gentleman, I present to you the "Incredible, Bullshitting Man"

Cheers CH :thup:

Olsson wouldn't be a bad signing, Clyne would be a very good signing too. It's good that Big Sam is looking to strengthen the back line, wouldn't be disappointed with them signings at all.

Best of luck to Freddie Sears.
