fcssl Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Apparently, according to BBC Teletext and the Mirror, West Ham United are to make a combined bid for AJ and Arteta which is believed to be in the region of 35-45m. Personally, I can not see it happning. AJ and Arteta have madfe it clear that they are settled and satisfied with the club... Anybody, heard anything more on this?

J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 yeh i have noticed them sniffing around cahill arteta and johnson a few times this week and thought nothing of it but it is now starting to get abit worrying. i mean everytime i have heard it and look at the huge fee's ive just got pound signs in my eyes. but thinking about it selling any of those three never mind 2 or all of them would just be ripping the heart out the team witch we have worked long and hard to build. plus weed be workin to try and replace them when we shud be just tweaking and getting in the players we acctauly need.

Romey 1878 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 If they go there will be murder at Everton, heads would roll. If those players are sold I would do all I could to get my money back for my season ticket. Afterall, those players are the ones people want to see and pay to see.

fcssl Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Having given this a bit of thought it does seem like a media story, plus I think that such a moved would be a backwards step for both players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue4everdan Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Wont happen, we are a club thats moving forward and to sell Cahill, Arteta or Johnson will be taking a major step back.

Everton_Worshiper Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 LMAO...this is so funny! There is no way on this earth we will sell Arteta or Johnson, let alone both of them. Oh and why would Arteta go to West Ham when he wants to go to Spain when he leaves Everton...? West Ham are not even in Europe..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

RuffRob Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 West Ham are just about linked with every player you could think of being available. Panic buying after the poor season they have had. I would be a little nervouse if it was a Man U or Arsanal after our players - but West Ham!! - A chance to join the glamourouse Alan Curbishley revolution. If any of our players (whoever they may be) WANT to join WEST HAM - then to me they are purley after a rid on a gravy train. So good look to them. £45M bid I have heard rumoured for AJ and Arteta - If they are crazy enough to spend that amount then I would bit there hand off. Enough money for Jags £4M, Nugent £6M, Kumas £4M, Bains £5M, Richardson £4M, Barton £5M, Fernandez £8M and still about with about £9M left to add to our potential £15M transfer kitty!!! Now looking at the above - you can see how ludicruse the story is!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompson013 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 i agree west ham arnt exactly 'A' Class. but they have what we dont... wheel barrows full of disposable cash! I just hope in AJ's case he follows through with the loyalty pledges he has flashed this season and Arteta....well lets hope the lure of european football can divert his eyes from the £80k a week he'll be guarenteed at Upton park. and hey if Sean Bean pulls off some 'sharpe like' herioics for Sheff Utd when he meets the fa this week the dirty cheating southern scummers might get those deducted points they SOOOO deserved and we dont need to worry. .:Tomo:.

Bill Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 That doesnt mean a thing when he has a chance to Double his wages, its a tempting offer and i wouldnt blame him if he jumped at it, also wouldnt blame the club if they decided to make a 6 to 10 million profit on him in twelve months.

xsaint Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 West Ham are ready to end their interest in Charlton's Darren Bent and instead make a £13million bid for Everton striker Andrew Johnson. Johnson only moved to Goodison Park from Crystal Palace last summer, but the Hammers will offer him £90,000-a-week in an attempt to lure him back to London, according to reports. Everton are expected to knock back any offer for the striker who scored 11 league goals last season, but West Ham are ready to go as high as £18million to get their man. The Irons put an £18million bid on the table for Addicks hitman Bent in January's transfer window, but had it rejected so Hammers boss Alan Curbishley has decided to focus on Johnson instead. Curbishley is expected to be a very busy man this summer as he attempts to overhaul a squad which only survived in the Premiership on the last day of the season. Scott Parker is expected to seal his move to Upton Park shortly while Carlos Tevez, Nigel Reo-Coker, Paul Konchesky, Matthew Etherington and Hayden Mullins are all ready to leave.

MikeO Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Wyness told evertonfc.com: "We have had no offer from any club with regard to Andrew Johnson - nor would we welcome any. "Whilst I feel certain there will be many Premiership clubs who will covet a player of Andrew's skills and abilities, he is an Everton player and, as he made perfectly clear on several occasions last season, he is very happy to be an Everton player. "I spoke to West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson at last week's Premier League meeting and we discussed the rumours about Andy Johnson. He told me the stories were absolute rubbish and they were not planning a bid. "I also spoke to Andy's agent and he reassured me that Andrew is completely happy at Everton. It's just the usual summer madness. "The same story also suggested we are struggling to raise funds to buy certain players which is also completely wide of the mark."
