Hey, Quashie has been the signing of Curbs career.

He must have the worst injury ever I swear. 1 reserves game in 18 months

. I reckon he died sometine in March and were just doing the post mortem before we make a announcment

Did anyone else hear today the Man City are having a tilt at Ronaldhino? 245 thou a week and 50 mil transfer.

I think he will join because no one else will give him or Barca what they want. Could be a good signing or could be one of those ones you laugh at a few years after. Cant wait too find out

Hes a West Ham fan. What interest would he have in this years transfer window? Andy Johnson, COME ON DOWN. Seriously anyone will do

Your mum.

Seriously though, my research in the last 10 minutes has led me to believe I have had my head firmly shoved up my date for the last 3 weeks. I blame Curbs.

Haha. How does talking about transfers lead to personal abuse? It's funny shit.

Seriously, give it up.

Yes, we all know West Ham have no money to spend this window.

Such is life, get over it.

Our first team squad is down to 14 fit people with the departures this year, and one of them is Smith.

Do I bring it up every 5 minutes?

I hope the managers of every other side in the premier league rate Downing like the posters on this site.

Well you're lucky Fabio Capella took the national job and not a EPL club job. He rates him very, very highly.

If Benitez has half a brain he will spend 70% of his budget on Villa.

Its just frustating. We are a top 20 club in the world yet every single year since I was born we get nothing. Liverpool fans are complaing after 6 months of this. How about they try 20+ years.

Its a bit different. Theres light at the end of the tunnel for Newcastle. You may be down to 14 but you wont be come kick off for next year so its hardly the same thing.

I just think if we dont spend then we are in the relegation battle all over again really.

You're the common denominator.. maybe you shouldn't have been born?

Well im hardly gonna complain about what happened in the 60's and 70s. We did win a World Cup

Top 20 club in the world based on what?

And last year you spent money on players, a fair bit of it too to be honest.

Keegan has said he only wants to sign 3 or 4. That's worrying when we're going to have a squad that thin.

I'm afraid he's not available for 7 quid.

Based on the worth of the club. Im talking money here....

A urban legend. We got outspent by everyone but Derby who we just beat. Spent around 6 mill altogether. We spend money replacing the ton of players we sold. NRC (9) Benayoun (4) Konchesky (3) Harewood 4.5) Mears (2) plus a few other squad fillers. Too say we increased in wages over the time would be generous considering last year we had Mascherano and Tevez both on 90k per week. Wages would of increased but not by much and when you have the a squad of 41 like we do you should expect to have a higher wage bill. Fact is if we didnt have 41 on our list we wouldnt of been able to field a side last year. Now we are going to sell 10+ players, replace them with loan signings and expect to rely on players who barely have 50 mins of football in our shirt to get us through the year. We are effectively selling off the players who got us through last year. Players like Solano should of been retained not told to leave. Im sure his 20k wages werent gonna make that big of a dent in the budget....

Were not even selling high wage earners it seems with most papers saying Anton Ferdinand is gone :thumbsd:

. I hoped we had learnt not to make the same mistake twice never mind 5 times over. VERY frustrating.

Sell Crouch for 15 mill and then you only need 2 million more

aston villa do have the smallest squad. (last season)

we've already sold 3 or 4 and will probably lose a couple more.

we haven't signed anybody yet.

so quit your complaining.

MightyIrons · Jun 11, 2008

I think you should quit complaining, how many wagons are you on atm?
