West Ham Fans Born to be Claret and Blue

Having agreed personal terms, Newcastle's captain Scott Parker will put pen to paper either this evening or tomorrow morning, his signing will be subject to a strenuous medical to confirm that the player's current hernia injury is not a long term issue.

Having virtually secured the signing of Scott Parker from Newcastle in a deal that will eventually be worth £9 Million, West Ham have moved quickly to try to secure the services of Everton's Tim Cahill, another Australian International to join Lucas Neill at the Boleyn.

Scott Parker's move to West Ham took a step further today with negotiations being opened between Hammers and Newcastle, the possibility of a player plus cash or even a straight swap of both club captains could well be in the offing

Newcastle's Scott Parker and Charlton's Luke Young have been linked to a Boleyn move during the summer transfer window, having both been under the tutelage of Alan Cubishley at the Valley, Young and Parker would welcome the chance to link up with their mentor who is now manager of West Ham.

Jason Koumas has emerged as a Hammers transfer target following the Baggies defeat in the Championship play off final against Derby, a result that will also see the return to the Premiership of ex-Hammer Stephen Bywater who kept goal with some aplomb for the Rams.

As the fruition of one of the club's worst kept secrets, Hammers (ex)-captain Nigel Reo-Coker has finally handed in a transfer request. Well not quite actually, his advisor Tony Finnigan and his agent have been desperately trying to move their client on for ages and received short shrift from the club when attempting to re-negotiate the England U21 captain's contract.

West Ham's Northern Ireland goalkeeper has requested a transfer from the club which has been granted. Carroll is believed to be on the verge of signing for Cardiff City in order to ensure first team football. Having been in re-hab for drink and gambling problems a move to a new club will hopefully be a fresh start for the player who joined on a free from Manchester United, we wish him all the best in the future.

The Boleyn is likely to resemble a revolving door as new players arrive, but not before the sort of clear out that would have seemed like a fire sale in the bad old 'Brown' days.

In a statement issued on the club's official website www.whufc.com , West Ham Utd chairman Eggert Magnusson has begun to share his vision of the future. Most fans will be overjoyed to hear that Argentine International and player of the year Carlos Tevez features high on his list of priorities..

The last act of bile regarding the club's signing of Argentine Internationals Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez is about to be played out as The Premier League has accorded Sheffield Utd the right to ask for an arbitration panel, however they have told the relegated club that they are wasting their time and money.
