Vam Bommel to BM

Probably not. Bayern have indicated that he will finish out his contract to the club no matter how he feels about it.

cant argue with that...though I dont really hate him [yet]...Im simply not a fan. As much for personal (Fusion) reasons as simply for his style and such.

Argentina striker Carlos Tevez says he and team-mate Javier Mascherano have agreed to sign for West Ham.

Only on loan but that is huge for the team. Seems a long time ago now but if West Ham lost their playoff final a couple of years back Pardew would have been gone. Now he's got West Ham into Europe the first year back in the Prem and he's signing top class players like this along with England's future in the likes of Green and Ashton

Dodgy deal alert, by all accounts someone at Corinthians is friends with Abramovich and they were given to West Ham to keep them from signing with Man Utd and Arsenal. I don't usually believe in rumours but have to believe this one as no disrespect to West Ham but why would one of the worlds hottest properties go to West Ham.

Permanent deals actually - undisclosed fee (this should be outlawed imo, fans should be able to know what the club spent

).

Sad really, it just shows that the power a player has if you can get your move by going on strike (Diarra and now Tevez).

Very very very dodgy deal <<< I'd add more very's but you'd get bored

undisclosed because it's dodgy, newsagent near Upton Park must have sold out of brown envelopes this week

I hear Chimbonda is on his way to Tottenham, and Kilbane in from Everton for Wigan - what do you think about those moves?

Add more, please?

Heard another rumour the permanent contracts aren't longterm contracts and maybe only for a year, whats the betting Tevez finds his way to Barca or Madrid next season because he couldn't settle in England. I have this bad feeling that the Russian money coming into England is taking English football down the Italian road of football imo today could be a sad an dark day in English football, hope I'm wrong.

I heard that Barrow just missed out on Tevez, but he wasnt fond of the manager.

Nearly true. It was actually his face that put Barrow off.

Saw Chimbonda on Saturday he wasn't motivated and the feeling I got none of the Wigan players wanted him there so good move to get rid of him before he became a cancer in a great team spirit, Kilbane is an upgrade on Kavangh who's gone to Sunderland plus he can play wide left which not only means cover for McCulloch if he's injured but also free's big Mac to play up front if need be.

We need to sort this Webster deal out but as usual UEFA are dragging their heals and we could do with a back up right back and a forward, rumours up here are someone from Bristol City joining us and always a chance of Nugent joining.

ukhotstove · 08-31-2006, 02:02 PM

If you go on the West Ham board their all quiet even they must smell a dodgy deal.

ukhotstove · 08-31-2006, 02:05 PM

Todorov from Portsmouth as just been linked with a move to Wigan.
