52 years young as of yesterday and i still rmbr being behind the goal when he buried a rebound i think past Schmeichel and a memorable 1-0 win that cost manure the title to Leeds Fergies quote that it was obscene lingers long in the old memory bank...still got the picture of Kenny striking that ball from the Daily Mirror back page ahh good days of course we were relegated a few days later but hey thats West Ham for you and sticking it to Fergie was always a god thing..happy belated birthday Kenny.

Just been reported....next please

Bryan(pop)Robson...David Cross...Paul Goddard...Frank McAvennie...Tony Cottee...Dean Ashton...Freddie Kanoute....just naming a few here who most West ham fans will have fond memories of along with the many nightmares such players as Frédéric Piquionne... Jonathan Calleri...Modibo Maïga...Nikica Jelavić...Marouane Chamakh...Benni McCarthy...Mido.
Just reading those names sends you into a cold sweat...but for me having seen all these players play and the T.C. Mcavennie double act that was without doubt the best strike force we have ever had in my lifetime i have to say Dean Ashton is my Favourite striker and the big What if comes about following that career ending injury on England duty...for a big fella he could score all kinds of goals and if he had kept playing and scoring as i don't doubt he would of then in true west ham traditions we would of promptly sold him and for peanuts to!...so who is your favourite striker? does not have to be any listed above could be any striker thats played for us the only condition here is you have to of seen them play.

£29million for Gomez Valencia bid the same and also accepted...£13million for Jordan....Wow looks like we are really going for it again this summer.

We all now about it and we all hold our breath when we hear a player has suffered a "slight" knock in training as we know that means a minimum 6 weeks and with rehab make it 9 weeks before the player returns...so as much as i hate to mention it how long before Pablo falls victim to our curse?

Apparently we have just signed this player and nope never heard of him but thats not a bad thing..23yr old attacking midfielder who Guillem Balague rates highly and says it is a good deal for west ham as an expert on spanish football it is worth listening to him.....£24million apparently and once all the details in contract have been worked out and signed he will be unveiled in 48 hours.....so we haven't signed him yet lol gotta love all the transfer tittle tattle

Any ideas people? Obviously hammers theme,little bar in the corner,sky etc...got a bit of memorabilia as well hidden about.problem I've got is there's arsenal,spurs,Liverpool in the family & I don't want to leave anyone out...so I'm counting on the org to come up with some ideas..I thought of an alan sugar effigy in the corner or a pair of klippetys gleaming dentures in a glass!!

Here we go again with Arnie..this time he is saying he wants champions league football and inter milan interested in him.....Well just tell them £30million he's yours dont drag it out and move on...cannot be doing with this sulky prick and his brother creating yet another transfer saga....and tell whoever else comes out of the woodwork £30million no less someone gives us that you can bugger off to whoever you want.

I guess you guess may have already seen / heard this. Its a bit of a long haul but very interesting so stick with it.

Couple of things that are maybe a bit worrying:

1) Move to a bigger stadium and larger support with cheap tickets hasn't yielded a great more revenue, less than £2M / season!
2) Money available for transfers in this window depended on players leaving.
3) Value of the club "just" £300M.
4) Umbro are owned by Nike... didnt know that!
5) We need more football Tourists, implying too many season ticket holders that are conventional fans not spending enough on match day.

Im sure that last observation had 65 in mind :o)

I don't get it. Quite a strong statement to open with. But I don't. Why is it, the only players we ever seem to be linked with are from abroad?

Half of the names I see I have to look up. I've never heard of them. They are from minor leagues in obscure countries. They are relatively cheap is that because nobody has ever heard of them? Or is it because their wage demands are minuscule, compared to bigger names?

Lots of questions. I'm sure I'm not alone with this. So why no British links? Just chucking a few names around. Jack Grealish ok he may have the image of a big time Charlie. But is he? Or is that the persona the tabloids have you believe. Just because he's young, has a dodgy haircut and funny socks. Does that make him a bad player. Tom Cairney, Scott Mctominay, Matt Doherty, Rob Holding, Andre Gray, Harvey Barnes, Mason Mount, to name just a few. Why does Pelligrini insist on looking abroad?

The players I've mentioned could all be acquired for the same price, as the low rent muppets from overseas constantly linked. Why do we have to settle for Juan Sheet, Huey Dewey Luiz, or Lorenzo Fuckedifiknow. OK I'm taking the peez now but I just don't get it..............
