Leadline

He's young, fast and has prem experience, didn't play well at fulham IMO, but could be a good player. I think he would be a decent investment plus we need an out n out left winger.

Lets hope moyesy has his eye on the situation.

The Star

Everton are prepared to cash in on striker Andy Johnson - but only if West Ham stump up £20m.

The Hammers want to sign the England international as part of their £70m summer spending spree, but until now have been met with a brick wall in their attempts to negotiate.

But there is a growing feeling inside Goodison Park that a huge offer would be too good to turn down.

The Independant

West Ham United may have to pay as much as £20m if they are to land Andrew Johnson this summer.

Although Everton have made clear that the striker is not for sale - and the manager David Moyes remains vociferous in his opposition to any deal taking place - West Ham are considering an offer that would be hard to refuse.

They are also aware of claims that Johnson's wife is unsettled on Merseyside and is keen to move back to London.

The Times

AS Roma, Everton and Newcastle are reputedly tracking Boudewijn Zenden, who has been released by Liverpool.

The Scum

Alan Smith has been told by Manchester United: You are not getting a new contract.

That will trigger a bidding war - with Everton, Spurs, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa all keen to land him.

*Every time we get any decent players no one can stand it can they! bloody paper talk get on my tits.

2 years ago did a 8 week coaching course for football out in Calgary, Canada, primarily coaching 15-16 year olds but helping with local sides as well, there are undoubtedly gifted footballers out there, they are technically very gifted, a lot of teh footy they play is small sided due to the snow ruling out outdoor games and Calgary soccer dome is better than any indoor facility I have ever seen over here, think this could be a good chance for the club to unearth some god talent as when I was over there the profile of teh game was certainly on the up for males ands Calgary had just entered there first professional side, let's hope good comes of it.

Sounds very promising, hopefully some of that natural talent can make its way over to us.

Here's a link to a canadian toffee's website:

Its a TV reality show due in the USA for a chance to get a contract with Everton. Could be interesting.

Everyone want a chuckle at some sad Hammers read the comments put in here:

Well in Moysey Lad!

I see weve been linked with Alan Smith again. If this is true I think we should go for it the players obviously got a lot of heart and vital Prem experience wonder how much he'd cost though if he was up for grabs?

It was in an interview conducted on blue kipper by Mickey Blue Eyes I believe.

Yes I think they'll do a Leeds, they're throwing money around like it grows on trees. Offered Darren Bent £80,000 a week I've heard.

Its that kind a goins on that gonna ruin themselves and the game if their not careful. I'm a firm believer that if a player is to be swayed by money and not ambition then he can walk out the door cos he's not welcome. £80,000 a week is ridculous thats more than what rooney and ronaldo are on at Man Utd.

Why did Lucas Neill choose WHU over the shite when the shite were in the Champions League? Because WHU offered him 70K a week. Money talks in this game. Emre chose Newcastle over us when we were in the Champions League because they offered him more money than us. It happens all the time.

On the money issue Im just going on what our own CEO said.

Oh and Im not a Kopite either.

could have fooled me and I don't remember at all Keith Wyness stating that we were using money from this years tv money for lasts seasons buys.

No one would ever say that. If we did we'd be in major dnager of doing a Leeds. Who coincidently I belive West Ham are gonna follow in the footsteps of, you agree?

Plus if them players did go Moysey would be out the door with em.

I heard of this fella he used to play for albecete a couple of years ago. Plays for athletico Madrid now. His in the National Squad for spain is a brick wall in defence if we can get him i'd be made up

coz thats what we used to sign lescott and AJ last season. We Bought them based on we stay in the prem and get that money.

Wherer in the blue hell did you get that from? please tell me cos unless your mind reader no one knows where that money came from for all you know it came form me nan.

I think all weve got to do here is rely on the positives and hope for the best lads! cos last time I checked I wasn't a kopite so I'm not gonna keep moning about every little thing that crops up in a paper that litterally hates us.

We ARE a selling club. After we bought Johnson, Wyness said we would have to sell before we buy if we were going to go after a high priced player and high priced players is where we should be looking now we're in Europe. We borrowed from the Sjy money to do our business last summer so it means we have less to spend this summer.

Romey your are one depressing fucker d'u know that. How could we be spending less this season when we are getting 50m extra in tv money. Plus why would any of Cahill, Arteta or Johnson want to go to West Ham when they aren't even playing in europe. You have no faith what so ever thinks its time for you to find yourself a piece of rope and end it all.
