Just been on TheShedEnd site. They have 109 pages in the Falcao thread (built up over 4 years) and only 11 in the Remy one.



They seemed pretty underwhelmed on RedCafe...that they have missed their primary target (Vidal) and that he is very much a backup/utility player.

Just shows that even the top clubs don't always get their own way, puts our transfer dealings into perspective.

Taider joining sassuolo apparently, 3 weeks after signing for saints.:confused:


Stambouli to us > Schneiderlin staying put > Taider not needed. The chat was that Taider couldn't settle (ffs!). Hasn't even had time to unpack yet!

Daniel Agger's gone back to Brøndby?!

Has struggled with injuries but is surely still good enough to play at a higher level?

He's going home. Has always said he wanted to go back and end his career there while still able to.

Only 29 though, he must be really fucked up from injuries to go back to Denmark (and take a massive pay cut I imagine) at this stage.

It's hard to figure out where the players they have bought are going to play in the two most likely scenarios (352/433) that LVG will play ?

Hate them but wish we'd do something like this.

@davidgold: We have just made a big signing, he’ll be introduced to the supporters before kick off today. dg


Most reckon it's Song.

Wetting their pants over a loan signing sums them up though, small time. Their PR team are cringeworthy.

It never ceases to amuse me the way their signings are reported. Its usually accompanied with 'he was wanted by lots of clubs' usually including us, when you just know we never even entertained bidding.

Song is actually a good player in the right system. Looked terrible in the World Cup though.

I remember when they signed Eitherington. This was from the Hammers' site:

Matthew Etherington has come to Upton Park to declare: West Ham are bigger than Tottenham.

That is not the flippant comment of a new arrival trying to ingratiate himself with his new employers' supporters, rather an honest belief and, to some degree, an explanation of why he has dropped a division to come to Upton Park.

Former Gooner Paul Merson described West Ham's relegation as 'a freak' at the weekend and Matthew says: "Going down was a disaster but I believe we can get back in the Premiership at the first attempt.

"West Ham is a bigger club, stature-wise, than Tottenham. Obviously relegation has put us in different divisions but West Ham are massive and everyone knows that - one of the biggest clubs in London.

Massive ****iness all around.
