Bascombe notably praising Parry's dealings for the second time in as many days. Hmmm.

That's crazy, what a shower of cunts. *Note, this in no way reflects my own opinions. (You bar-stards!)

£7.5m still feels like a bit of a bumming really, considering we were lucky to get him on the cheap in the first place and the lunacy of the market at present. I reckon we could have got £9m for him at least. Unless of course it was a compromise re: Yossi.

...at the same time 'he' may have deemed those players ready, Rafa obviously doesn't just yet. That's not such a bad thing. Michael Owen's make it at Seventeen, Steven Gerrard's make it at Twenty-odd, it's different strokes for different folks ain't it? Differentiate if you can. From what I've seen he (Hammil) does indeed need to learn more about the responsibility side of the game - shite, it took Stevie until 24/25 for him to realise that gung-ho isnt always the way. I'm pretty big on believing that natural talent can be moulded but also that it does often take time. I'd love to see the kids get a run out but at the same time, at the end of it all, there is of course the obvious - fielding an UNPROVEN player is too much of a risk in today's game - unfortunately.

If true, how is that all possible given the debacle surrounding his ownership. Surely West Ham would not want to loan a player of his calibre out and if forced to part with the player would want the cash to cushion the blow.

Personally I'm shocked that he's a Red, he's one of the biggest twats going. I remember once he wrote two conflicting articles in the same rag (On Gerrard I believe) building up and then slating - I don't think he knew what the Fuck to think so just covered all bases. Shameful anyway.
