Bullshit, what a crock of shit that is!

[bossy]

ha ha ha ha ha etc

[bigredruss]

doubled his wages,says a lot for a player who supported us as a kid. i would play for expenses, hope they go down and has to play against blackpool

[Chocoholic]

Neill revealed his meeting with Magnusson clinched the deal.

 

"What he said almost knocked me off my feet," said Neill.

 

"I give you £60,000 a week"

 

At that point, Neill looks over his shoulder to see who the West Ham owner is speaking to. "It sure as hell isn't me" he says to himself, "he's not THAT much of a tit". He can't see anybody so he goes down like Harry Kewell and claims he was bowled over by Magnusson's words.

[Dirk]

Does it say "I chose the Hammers because I'm a money-grabbing retard"? I thought so.

[Strontium]

Don't under-estimate the draw of regular first-team football.

 

I think it's a bit harsh to try and make out that he moved purely because of the money. Obviously that was a big factor. But at LFC, he'd probably only have been a squad player.

[Josef Svejk]

Yep. He'd have been first choice at left back for the forseeable future. And he'd have been rotated in other positions.

 

Money.

[Mark_b]

so why did he insist that his contract had a get out clause in.

he's talkin absolute shite, liverpool dont need a player like him on our books.

[drewy]

Don't under-estimate the draw of regular first-team football.

 

Tell that to Salif Diao. It's a money decision, simple as that.

[Strontium]

It must be nice to live in your black and white world :thumbup:

[wiiksie]

Close the door on your way out of the Premiership, Lucas.

[Adam_LFC]

we don't want players at this club who just care about money.

[derykw]

I don`t give a fuck what his reasons were, he`s a fucking yard dog and I`m glad he`s not coming.

[Toddler]

Best rid...always said it!

"It wasn't about cash - that didn't come into it," Neill told Sydney's Sunday Telegraph. "It was about being wanted. West Ham were knocking down the door to get me whereas Liverpool made a take it or leave it offer and didn't even come in for me until 15 days after the transfer window opened."

 

West Ham didn't even come in for him until after we did. If we hadn't wanted him, we wouldn't have made a bid for him - does he think that Parry's got nothing better to do with his time than amuse himself by making spurious bids for unwanted targets? Is this what Rafa was talking about?

 

"People who have raised their eyebrows at me for making this decision are in for a surprise because West Ham have a shopping list of players which almost blew me away."

 

Yeah, so do Everton.

 

There's a world of difference between having a shopping list of quality players and attracting them to an also-ran side in relegation trouble, especially with 11 days left before the transfer deadline. Also, any grand plans they may have made for next season are very much open to review come May - I don't think they'll be drawing the crowned heads of European football to the Championship somehow. Not that Neill will give a fuck if they go down - I notice his faith in Eggert doesn't extend to waiving his relegation release clause.

 

"...Liverpool gave me the impression that I might not even get a game if I went there."

 

So, we told him the truth then. Shocking. Of course, the reason he'll get a game every week at West Ham is because their defence is largely dross.

 

"I supported them (Liverpool) as a kid."

 

Did you fuck.

 

Neill revealed his meeting with Magnusson clinched the deal. "What he said almost knocked me off my feet," said Neill. "He told me I'm the first of many new signings earmarked for the club."

 

Eggert told me that Raul is next to sign. He'll be finalising the contract next week after flying out to Spain on the Spruce Goose. Then he took about seven of these little white pills and pissed into a nearby bottle.

 

"West Ham are very well supported. They just happen to be at the wrong end of the table at the moment."

 

Yes, it's all coincidence, isn't it?

 

Buffoon.

Well put, saves me the trouble.

[Cardie]

Why are people worrying?

 

He's shit.

[MLB]

I guess the lure of playing alongside Callum Davenport against Colchester was just too much.

[Vincent Vega]

Fuck him, he's a yard dog anyway.

[Al Campbell]

The real reason he turned us down is he's scared of Carra.

[Brownie]

Haha what a tit.

 

Wonder if he was watching the game today or sat at home counting his money?

[Unrighteous]

Neill is just a twat. Ambitions? WEST HAM WILL NOT SNIFF EUROPE FOR TWO YEARS NOW YOU STUPID AUSSIE TWAT!

 

You'll be 30 and unable to break into their first team and then you'll be sold to Vauxhall on a free for being shit.

[Neil G]

That's a grossly unfair statement and you know it.

 

Colchester are going to be promoted.

[RoboRiise]

...WEST HAM WILL NOT SNIFF EUROPE FOR TWO YEARS NOW...

 

Europe? Fuck me, I think they might be lucky to sniff the Premiership unless things improve.

[Paul]

Who cares what his reasons were? I think Rafa was making a mistake in trying to sign him anyway (as do most, judging by their opinions of his ability), so this can only be good news. He'd have been a pointless signing as he's no better than what we've already got. Yes, we arguably need cover for the rest of this season, but no player should be signed for the short term on a full contract. Get someone on loan or make do until we can bring in a player who's good enough to improve the team.
