Guest Gary Loughran Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Alan Curbishley's future as West Ham boss could be in doubt despite him leading them to Premiership safety last season. (Daily Star) What a daft story. I've read this has to do with his inability to attract players to the club frustrating Magnusson. If all the stories in the press are true, West Ham and a few other clubs would have squads of 50 top pros and the likes of Arsenal might struggle to get a recognised team out Silly season - bored sports journalists favourite time of year.

John Simkin Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 BBC Website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...utd/6251900.stm West Ham striker Carlos Tevez has turned down a move to Inter Milan after the Italian champions imposed a deadline for him to make a decision. The 23-year-old has been linked to several clubs in England and abroad but is keen to stay in the Premier League. A statement from Tevez's representative Kia Joorabchian said: "Inter put a deadline on the decision and Carlos' heart is really in the Premier League. "He was not prepared to meet that cut-off point put on him." Tevez said in May that he was keen to move away from Upton Park saying: "I want to join one of Europe's big clubs, that's what I've talked to my agents about." Joorabchian, though, insisted that the Hammers are in talks to keep the Argentina international but played down reports of a £115,000 per week being offered to convince him to stay. The Iranian businessman added: "That is "absolutely not true". "He has not been offered that sum of money to stay, but it is true we are still talking and hope to come to some arrangement." Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Inter were among the clubs strongly linked with a move for Tevez but Inter have ruled themselves out of the running due to their demands. Inter president Massimo Moratti told his club website: "Tevez is no longer a target, we are fine as we are in attack." The forward was instrumental in the West Ham's successful battle to avoid relegation last season after a difficult start to hi Upton Park career. Tevez moved from Corinthians last summer but the Hammers were subsequently fined a record £5.5m by an independent commission for breaching Premier League rules.

Guest Gary Loughran Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 West Ham sign Richard Wright on a free to challenge Robert Green for the No.1 jersey....(Official site) NRK to Villa for £8.5 million as soon as medical completed, probably will reveal him tomorrow to pretend that he hadn't already agreed terms and underwent a medical long ago.....(Andersonstown News) What about our collection of centre halves, Ferdinand, Collins, Davenport, Upson, Gabbidon (I'm sure I'm missing someone)- we can't keep them all. It's went a bit quiet on Mullins/Harewood front. Doubt Harewood will go to City as there was a strong rumour they were moving for Yakubu - too similar to play alongside Harewood. Bennayoun to replace Garcia at Liverpool - that one has went a bit quiet too. Is it a case of waiting until we get a replacement before allowing Yossi to go.

John Simkin Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...utd/6276064.stm Carlos Tevez is keen on a "dream" move to Manchester United - although any deal will come under heavy Premier League scrutiny before going through. The League insists the transfer must be "done directly" with West Ham rather than his agent Kia Joorabchian. Tevez, 23, was involved in a saga that led to West Ham being fined £5m for breaching transfer rules, although they crucially escaped a points deduction. But he said: "For me, Manchester United will be a sensational destination." Tevez is still under contract to West Ham for three years, but the League wants to ensure Joorabchian is not paid any of the fee after previous questions over the Argentine forward's "ownership". West Ham insisted they cut all ties with Joorabchian after they were fined in April. One possible avenue would be for West Ham to be paid a transfer fee and then agree a compensation figure with Joorabchian for breaching contracts with his company, Media Sports Investments (MSI), when the Hammers terminated third-party agreements following their fine. It is understood though the League would want a substantial chunk of the transfer fee to remain at West Ham rather than it all be handed over to MSI in compensation, otherwise they could be accused of merely covering up the third-party agreements that have caused so much controversy. West Ham have been speaking to Manchester United about a transfer, and the former Boca Juniors and Corinthians player is excited at the prospect. He said: "I am a player who thrives on challenges. I went to England to triumph in the Premiership and with West Ham I have achieved that first stage. "Now I'm ready to move on to the next stage. To be a member of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad will be absolutely spectacular. "My dream is to be an idol in English football and I can achieve this now."
