Transfer Window: Summer 2012

[munichhammer]

If Stoke somehow swindle 5m out of us for Jones we deserve to go down.

If we give Stoke 5m for Jones then i'd seriously expect 2m of the fee to end up on an Allardyce back account,

[Westcliff Hammer]

Yossi Benayoun is a playmaker , Can spot a pass AND pick it out. He's the sort of player that can turn a draw into a victory. Granted he has been known to go missing in certain games. Cast your mind's back to the F.A Cup Final and he's performance that day was exceptional. He could be the difference between relegation and surviving,

[durham city hammer]

I maybe wrong but i don't think it was coming from his source clunge when he said the Yak and Jones, just him giving his opinion!
( can't believe i'm getting involved in this twatter malarky)

One game... wow... and 6 years ago he's now 32 or whatever

Liability and a lightweight...

Did I mention a snidey little rat? Oh yes I did

How any of you cannot see that we can sign other players than him is beyond me

You're probably right there.

[Yea Why Not]

I think Rebirth has a man crush on Yossi Benayoun

Your entitled to your opinion, With consideration, Who would you suggest? Don't get me wrong, I'd rather Zaha but IF Benayoun was to arrive i wouldn't be too disappointed.

One game?

Villa away just after he joined, played a blinder and Marlon got a hat-trick.
Fulham at home in his second season. Two outstanding individual goals.

I can't be arsed to check Soccerbase but I had a season ticket for the two years he played for us (not since then but that's not the point) and he was an excellent player for us.

You're right though, five years have passed and he's now 32. Plus he undoubtedly stitched us up.

Would I have him back though? Yep.

A loan deal would be ideal but if Chelsea are gonna release him then a two year contract would be pretty sensible anyway.

We're a well drilled side who excel at set pieces, Yossi though can still play a decent through ball and his dribbling skills were always based on the old drop of the shoulder trick or his little spins rather than blistering pace so he'd still be fine despite his age.

...., and besides, I thought Yossi Benayoun had a poor match that afternon in the 2006 FA Cup Final and it should have been him who came off and not the otherwise exellent, Carl Fletcher. Had Pards substituted Benners, I think we would have won the cup that day. It was only after Fletch went off that Gerrard began to play after Fletch had him in his pocket for 70 minutes

[window74]

Can I add myself to the list of you not getting the Yossi love? It'd be great if he played every game for us like he did in the cup final, sadly he was a one in five player at best (as is Jones btw).

And for those of you Twitter savvy, take a butcher's at our new boy Nathan's Twitter feed.

Safe...

No mention of this new boy on the official site. And I do not do twitter so what's it say on his twitter account?

[The Sherriff]

Apart from Kightly, I've yet to get excited over any of the transfer speculation to be honest.

Hoping that it's just lazy journalism again.

[Gummi]

Tottenham bids £12 millions for Samir Handanovic, Udinese goalkeeper.

Green one step closer to QPR.

[hammerdivone]

Reid is not going to hack it in the PL and should be considered as a bit player and cover and I'd be tempted to push him to RB anyway.

Clearly not seen him play any games this season then?

[York Ham(mer)]

safe bro!

Nathan Mabi-Mavila's twitter

Nothing. Just a load of west ham fans wishing him luck.

[dodgy dave]

I don't understand most of the goings on, on Twitter but it seems he's signed

[Aztec Hammer]

Various people... Zaha.. there has been a load of Palace fans abusing Adzman etc saying we have no money and why would Zaha want to join us... I am going to be honest here we will not get Zaha. £8m? Hahaha yeah maybe if you're Cashester City and can afford to blow that sort of money on someone unproven..

Zaha himself definitely thinks there is a good chance of joining West Ham. The interest is very real. Don't shoot it down too soon mate.

And someone else on here, quite rightfully asked when we are going to look for a player who can actually tackle... that's where I hope we go after Claudio Yacob. Would love to sign him.

[claretcloggy]

What is he then?

not good enough according to bob I'd almost say

[The Rebirth]

Full of joy today Rebirth :lol:

I'm always full of joy!

Love the rat faced little **** from the blackest parts of my heart.

I know Benayoun had some good games for us but he is worse than Di Canio in terms of not turning up
