Re: Summer transfer talk/rumours
I agree, Camara from what little did he play looked quick on his feet but was never given a chance to play from the start, it was always the Ashton/Cole partnership that never really look like it was ever going to work from the moment of Kick off. The trouble was they were both too alike in thier game play and a as a result of the failure to score goals resulting into a comical farcical element of one strolling around despondently whilst the other developed a habit of falling over a blade of grass.Lancaster Hammer wrote: Exactly, he is the only proven pacey striker that we have at the moment. I would hope that by the end of this window we would have two strikers with physical presence (Ashton and Cole/or replacement) and two quick strikers (Bellamy + another). We could then call on Sears if injuries struck again. That's why we got Camara in at the last moment in 2007 summer window, because Curbishley was clear that if anything happened to Bellamy then we would lack pace up front. Unfortunately, the only thing Camara didn't lack was pace and so when Bellamy got injured, Camara stayed on the bench and - you guessed it - we lacked pace up front.
Oh woe another season like that one.

He might not be the youngest player around, and his career has had its shares of ups and downs, but he can provide Linda with much needed competition.

Re: Summer transfer talk/rumours
I read that b*llocks article in the Mail about our Chairman being so skint he needed to sell Lucas Neill to Citeh for less than £750k. I was really upset by that article. Only at West Ham could we get bought by a billionaire chairman that is skint! Then I started thinking about it and surely this is just outrageous crap?
So (smuggly he reports) I looked up BG's bank - Landsbanki - and their financial performance. Can you believe that this skint recession hit bank (according to Daily Mail) in 2007 made an after tax profit of €456,000,000? That's right I'll say it again €456M after paying all corporation taxes - a record for them!
Not content with that I looked up their first 3 months figures for 2008 which were only released to the press in May this year. Their profits were up again to €171,000,000 after tax.
Well. If the Daily Mail are right then the end of the World as we know it is about to finish. If a bank can make €171M in the first 3 months of 2008 and are so skint they need to sell Lucas Neill for less than £750,000 then the only assumption I can make is that the financial world is indeed about to implode. Or hang on. Maybe the Daily Mail article might actually be a load of b*llocks having discovered that no-one buys their ***** paper in the East End and Essex so they don't care and only want to wind us up...

If we could get him on a salary to the club's liking then it could be a good idea. He can cover both left back and left midfield as well as take set pieces. It'd be very similar to having Solano last season.

Thanks for the info - nice to see someone researching things for themselves. These papers are so full of crap.
West Ham's more careful approach to the transfer market this summer seems very wise to me. After panic spending to avoid relagation, BG obviously wants to calm things down a bit. We've signed 3 foreign youth players which looks good for the future and are selling Zamora for 6mil. All good business if you ask me. This isn't a club crippled by their owner's failing finances - it's a club that is calming down to make some more considered and long-term purchases. I'd be very surprised if we don't make one or two first team signings before the season starts as well as off-loading a few more squad players. If we do that, I think it will have been a reasonable summer's activity.
