bouma flew home from the dutch squad as he is getting married.

Everyone commenting on reo cokers attitude need to get a grip NONE OF US KNOW THE MAN AND NIETHER DO ANY OF THOSE W.H FANS who are slagging him off.For what its worth he looks a decent guy in interviews and whatever but all we can judge him on is what we have seen of him on the pitch and from what ive seen hes well worth the buy.The bloke got racist abuse and all sorts of shite but still stayed through the jan transfer window to help west ham survive.Wait to see if he signs and make your own judgements after a period of time but do not just take what some jealous peanut brained west ham fans say to be truth i have read a rumour among them lot that the reason why ashley young snubbed them is because he didnt want to play with reo coker(when he already does for the u 21s),so instead of it being the fact that they are crap and were in the relegation battle and we are a bigger club it was all reo cokers fault young chose us so as you can see you wont get a fair shout out of a lot of them. as for koumas i dont think he is any better than petrov or gardner but if he signs i wouldnt mind.

My problem with Bramble is this, I spent a hell of a lot of time laughing myself silly at Newcastle on Motd last season for having the misfortune to own Brambles registration and having to play him because they had no alternative. i know i agree i labled him the worst player in the premiership last season in front of my mates so if we do sign him im gonna get ripped.But i do not think for one second we are even interested in him its just another name, i havent actually seen it anywhere except this thread so i think we are in the clear on this one.

i would welcome saviola but i reckon he will go to a team in the champions league.perhaps when west ham tie up the parker deal we will hear some more about what reo coker will be doing next season.

to be honest i think someone said it as a wind up and we are all so desperate for a signing its got out of hand just like every other name that has been mentioned on this thread thats why we have hundreds of pages and we have not even officially been told we are signing anyone.

people are underestimateing martin o`neill the guy has a unique way of thinking when it comes to putting players together thats why he is a top manager and one thing that a lot of people seem to have forgotten is that this is about putting a TEAM together.I dont want bramble but if we sign him watch o`neill turn him into a player.O`neill knows what he is doing and i trust him 100%.

hope your sitting down because i have just heard from a good source that we are in talks with this man hes a goalie apprantley and hes in a hotel in birmingham.

bramble isnt someone i really want at the club and i dont believe we are trying to get him but if made to get fit and given proper guidance i think he could do a bouma.

sorry but m.o.n is not trying to sign anyone good he has not been scouting around europe for the last six months and is definatly not interested in improving the team he isnt interested in the slightest about spending 30-40 million on players we need and is away getting pissed up with his mates in miami on mr lerners dollars.

A little harsh calling people retarted dont you think? Some people just see what other clubs are doing and think they all run the same way. i dont think its harsh can they not use their brains and just come to the conclusion that we are after different players or look at january and see how mon did it all behind the scenes and we got ashley young who was arguably the hottest property back in jan?Instead they seem to just see a chance to moan and since doug is gone now i suppose they relish every chance they get.

stop moaning(and yes you are moaning) do you really think since the season has ended that mon has been drinking tea and playing scrabble?just because its not in the news doesnt mean we are not trying to sign top players if you really believe o`neill and his staff have not been doing anything in the last 2-3 weeks you are retarted did you not learn anything about how mon operates in january?

I know 99% of that skysports your view is bollocks but just to throw in a new name(as far as i know) who we probably wont be signing to discuss someone says urby emanuelson from ajax has been spotted at the airport and is here for talks hes a left back apparently so does anyone know anything about him?

id take kewell for 2 million if he stays fit we have got a very good player if he doesnt sell him to wigan or bolton for 2 million would be a shrewd buy in my opinion.

i agree hes overated in my opinion but how can you say you would be dissapointed if he chose everton over us when we dont even know if we tryed to get him.Kepa blancos agent or him himself came out a couple of weeks ago and said we made an offer for him then o`neill came out and said it was not true so a lot of this is either journalists putting two and two together or agents fishing just because we are "linked" doesnt mean we have actually tryed to sign the player.I dont believe we are after anyone until i see an official quote from someone that we are in talks.

i would like us to get reo coker hes young english and very energetic in midfield as for all this commenting on his personality none of us know the bloke any interview i have seen with him he looks to be a decent fellow who has taken shit loads of abuse from the west ham fans for nothing so what if he drives a bentley i bloody would aswell if i could afford one i think a lot of it is down to the perception a lot of jealous people have about footballers nowadays. I know one thing i would have told the west ham fans to stick their club but he stuck around and helped them survive.Either way as long as he does it on the pitch if we sign him i couldnt care less if he is flashy i dont have to hang around with the bloke. I would not mind kewell either hes quality if he stays fit.As for bellamy i am not really that bothered either way.

defoe?

i agree i havent seen him over a whole season so i will just trust o`neill not say hes shit because he had a average game today.i would take koumas and kamara.

why people are judging mcshane on one game i dont know.What about kamara from west brom i wouldnt mind him.

any updates on the Wesley Sneijder situation?i read that a deal with valencia would be done in days that was about a week ago?wonder if its gone tits up.

i am very confident after o`neill lured ashley young to villa park amid competition that if reo coker or anyone else gets to meet o`neill and is shown around the place with the new training complex and all that they would sign for us.

In todays market i am afraid we will have to pay over the odds with all the money coming into the game next season i am not suprised or bothered about 12 million its about right if you look what man utd payed for carrick and we payed for young etc liverpool only got him for six because of a clause in his contract,12 million is the new 8 million,Also i saw on sky today we are going to make a 5 million bid for taylor.If we want the higher level players we will have to pay higher level prices and as long as we are not going to do a leeds and we can afford it then i couldnt give a toss bellamy is a top player and i am sure we could haggle them down to ten.

o shea,fletcher,wes brown,kieron richardson,evra these are just examples from the team that won the league that you cant have a squad full of superstar players so those complaining that taylor isnt a big name signing should think about that.

surely if we were in talks with taylor then sky sports news would have picked up on this by now?

Interesting. How much would people think was a fair price? i would expect us to pay 4 million 5 at a push but being young and british does seem to put up a players price tag nowadays eg ashley young.but yeah i will say 4 or 5 million if we sign him.

I would say the complete opposite. If Pompy did not bring any players in and he is an ambitious player then he would leave. But as they are already showing there intentions on competing and it probably hasn't stoped there he'd be crazy to leave. Surely loyalty stands for something. i suppose it could work both ways yeah your right.I feel that o`neill would not have let samuel go today if he wasnt going to bring in cover on the left maybe taylor is it and i am not being biased here but if i was taylor i would sign with villa.
