OTF

BTW there's no chance he's on 65K.

Still got a ginormous forehead though I hear that's in fashion

For the price they apparently want for N'Zogbia to go to a Premier League side good luck to them!

Way too early to make the call on Kadar. Has looked quite decent when he has played, though the injuries are definitely cause for concern.

12m - they're trying it on. He's got a year to run on his contract and they've got absolutely no hope of keeping him thereafter. He's not the sort of player you'd like to be relying on to keep you from relegation.

...and besides princess tree loves the attention in any way shape or form.

Because we'll get another Barton/Enrique scenario, that's why we're offering him one now. Enrique's an entirely different proposition. Barton's 29 in 3 months and has been a continual problem for the club be it through injuries, suspensions or off-field dramas. Nolan's 29 later this month, and although he's been valuable for us since relegation his biggest weakness is his lack of movement which is not going to get better as he gets older. He's got 2 years left to run meaning that he'll be pushing 31 when his contract is up. Jose Enrique is 25 has had no off-field problems, has been great on field and has had relatively few injury problems. His value in the market will be going up and he'll be on the radar of numerous clubs.

I don't think Nolan would be on huge wages TBH. He came from Bolton who won't have been paying huge wages and he came after the reality of owning Newcastle had set in with Ashley. We were towards the bottom of the table and relegation was a likely possibility, so in addition there will have been relegation clauses in the contract that lowered his wage in the Championship. Was only really bought after Barton suffered an injury.

Norway this is happening.

Should have better vision and awareness at that age. Plus he's a clumsy bugger. Who knows how good he will potentially be when he properly grows into his body, though I can't see him ever having the vision and footballing intelligence to be a player of note.

The most embarrassing part is that CT actually believes his own horseshit and further than that carries on like he's some sort of visionary. ...and at the way in which he attempts to be patronising. A little bit special.

I have Jose's, but not on your list. Says 'the best of me'

Don't know anything about him, is he any good? Central defender?

Quality keeping Joe Hart Good Job Tim Krul

Nolan's contract isn't up until 2013. West Ham would have to pay a premium to get our highest scoring player and captain at year end. Otherwise there's no reason that the contract talks can't be put on hold until next season.

Would appreciate if you could let me know what the difference in materials is between the training jacket and the match day one.

I think the gold actually works on the third strip. Damn. The home strip made it easy for me to have no interest in picking one up. Those jackets look quite nice...

Training jacket and third strip both look good. Much better than the home strip.

Surprisingly there was a few games where Nolan covered a fair bit of ground this season. I think he's capable of being more mobile but is too lazy to do it without good motivation. Whatever the case no side is ever without injury so options are needed in all areas.

No criticism can be directed at Enrique. For starters the club haven't technically signed anyone apart from a young guy that didn't even play for his French side. Enrique is clearly a player who has the ability to choose where he plays, he's been a spectacular performer for us if his ambition now exceeds that of the club then there's no reason why he shouldn't challenge himself elsewhere.

He's the type of wanker that would be on ridiculously low wages just so he can be associated with a team that's winning titles.

Sums it up nicely.

Precisely what is it that FIFA are required to do apart from organise the World Cup? If it's to promote the game internationally then they're failing spectacularly.

Time for a new Official Signings thread!
