It wasn't long ago I read someone on thfc1882 (http://www.thfc1882.com/2010/07/20/redknapp-attractive/) about Harry Redknapp's ability to attract better players than we've already got at the club.

From the looks of the players we're being seriously linked with it just shows he actually can't. Bellamy and Parker are mediocre at best with the odd decent game. Remind you of anyone? Jenas perhaps.

Enough's enough. We either stick with what we've got or we go all out to seriously improve the 1st team.

Other rumour elsewhere says Upson. You didn't want Parker - pick this one out of the back of the net!!

From what I have read no offer has been made and so I have to conclude that what is being reported are the delusional rants of a pornographer who's been spanking the monkey a little too much lately. You know that can make you go mad as well as blind ;-)

I'm with the poster above. I don't get why we are buying players that are not signicantly better than we've got.

Unless they're champs league quality then what the point, I mean Parker isn't exactly one for the future is he?

I say lets go all out a buy a top quality player like Ozil, offer £15 mil plus a nice signing on fee to supplement his wage as not to break our pay structure. Think we are seriously lacking up top, would like to see bellemy sign as I think he is massively underrated and can play wide left as an added bonus. Niot interested in Richards and do not understand why so many fello yidos want him to come, he is useless with a chip on his shoulder to boot.

Come on Harry, 1 Triffic player please!

No need for Parker at the Lane, although I think he's a solid player. We need to sign a quality CB as soon as possible though.

not so sure this is anything but a rumour spread about by some old git

Fergie wants Özil, so forget about that. But where does that leave Dimi? Unless Rednose sees Özil as Giggsey's replacement.

Honestly, I'd take him back in a second (at a greatly reduced fee, naturally), and then get rid of Pav or Keane. Obviously most yids would prefer to to keep Pav, and I agree in general. However, if we were bringing home yet another prodigal son I think it might be worth keeping PSB. You may remember 86 goals in two seasons between the two of them? Keane was, playing alongside Berba, the top scoring player in the PL in the 2007 calendar year FFS.

Now I'm just rambling. Berbatov is going nowhere.

But if he did come back, surely it would be with a buch of newfound modesty and humility.

If the hammers were not a selling club they would of been knocking on the door of champions league by now, they always have been and will have to be now as the dept they have will only increase, if they don't get the olympic stadium and sell their ground then sullivian and co will most likely be gone

are we only after targets that speak "geezer" ? is bellamy ,richards,parker a marquee signing ?

the answer is a big fat NO

This is prob the most imp window weve had for decades ,yet we seem to want to fill the squad with at best average players.

If parker is 15m and 75k a week ,with no resale ,I say fck that ,lets go Ozil ,15m ,75k a week,with potential MEGA resale ,plus hes a better player with something to prove ,not an injury prone "geezer" of the top top variety

Probably Sullivan spinning a yarn to try and please the fans.

yeah i liked how sky sports shows the statement of the west ham website saying we are not willing to sell parker and allow tottenham to unsettle parker. BUT surely if spurs wanted to unsettle him they tell sky sports they are hunting parker and what not, not just making a big behind closed doors. WH made it public.. the lot are idiots.
thank god we got refused he wouldn't offer anything to our squad except bad challenges, and we are the type of club to never get away with anything.

Let's have some ground rules.
1 Nobody who isn't an improvement on what we've got.

2 Nobody who will cause us to upset the wages apple cart

Noboidy that will cost us ridiculous money. ( over £20 million say)

3 Nobody over 28

4 Nobody who has turned us down or left because we weren't good enough or big enough.

NOBODY it is then.

Which suits me fine. Our current squad will improve by being kept together with the addition of Sandro, Dos Santos and Santos and maybe Taarabt plus acouple of youngsters.

Its not as sexy as big name transfers but it makes footballing sense to me.

Parker should never even be considered for Spurs, I would rather stick with Jenas than signing that little cunt with a big ego Parker..He turned us down for the sake of money in the past and he can FUCK OFF..Harry should stop chasing SHIT like Bellamy and Parker..To sustain and establish yourself as a top four club you need Ozils,Dzekos, of this world not Bellamys and Parkers..Go and break the Fucking bank and sign 3 top class players and get on with it..FUCKING SHIT PLAYER LIKE PARKER? CAN WE MOVE ON FROM THE PAST PLEASE?

hypothetically speaking ,if 2pf8g's wasnt our current manager ,would we be after primarily British (average) players ?

Answers on a postcard please

and cant be arsed to check this ,but if you look at parker ,bellamy richards etc apps record (or lack of) thru injury,its staggering

The state of the market seems to have been hit by a number of factors. The likes of Man City and others with their bottomless pits of cash from outside of football have totally skewed the market. Now if anyone comes sniffing around a club for their best player, they can instantly slap on a £30m price tag knowing that City would probably cough up. The other clubs who are run on a sound footing cannot compete with this, and nor should they unless they want to follow Leeds down to League One. The other "big" clubs are mired in debt and don't seem to be able to afford these types of sums either. The Chelsea and City wages are similar stumbling blocks, again financed by money from outside of the club. The result is deadlock. If a player is neither affordable or available, then you can't buy unless it's for the sake of it. It's hard to see what signings we can realistically make at the moment.

Sorry lads but what makes you think you have any chance of getting Ozil? Real Madrid are apparently interested. I know spurs have champs league now but they are still a small club with a shit reputation. Do you think Ozil would prefer to be playing in front of 35 thousand mugs in Tottenham or 80 thousand in Madrid at the worlds biggest club. Stick with the likes of Parker boys.

I say thank fu*k for that!!!

Well Robs, looks like Fabregas may be turning down Barcelona and the Bernabau to play for the mugs across the road, so anything's possible ey!

That statement from Gold is a ploy to get Hammer fans behind him when they have no money and will sell other players meanwhile bringing in nobody of note. DON'T WORRY FANS, WE HAVE SCOTT PARKER!!

It's pathetic!

Wow Robs, you can actually connect to the internet from your Caravan! The main issue with your comment is he would be sitting on the bench in front of 80,000 as opposed to PLAYING in fron of 36.

Robs isnt his name ,its what he does for a job !

Some well thought out responses there guys! Surely you appreciate that the likes of Ozil and Luis Fabiano are a little out of your league? Sheffield Wednesday have won the league twice as many times as Spurs! Ozil is coveted by every BIG club in Europe. Obviously the likes of Spurs would love to have him, but you have absolutely no chance. The sooner Harry stops piping on about these players the better, it's getting embarrassing. Joe Cole anyone? You lot were the only ones talking about how much you would love him to join. Was never going to happen in a million years. He moved to Liverpool - a BIG club.

Scott Parker? Ha ha ha. That's a good one.

I want bitty mummy
