Reid to Spurs!!
Forums:
Tell me this ain't true!!! FFS anyone but them (insert expletive)!! Why does this poxy club always manage to get one over us? They've had Defoe, Carrick, Parker, Kanoute and now Reid!! And on each of those deals we were effed overly financially so it's a double whammy!! If this turns out to be true then sorry but I'll want to see Reid injured in the closing stages of the season so that those lilyshites suffer some hardship. That's probably harsh but I'm sick of those (insert expletive) using us as their feeder club. Where do they get the balls??
What happens if Reid and Valencia are sold in this transfer period?
Forums:
If Reid and Valencia are sold by tomorrow night, have we got any one to replace them? Reading into Allardyce's post match interview it didn't appear that we have! Any thoughts?

Just as Nev gets the site back to normal and our performances, transfer targets and goodwill towards Sam start to evaporate. Reminds me of the old days :)

No Snooker Pun Intended But Hendrie Is Back In The Frame
Hamilton Accies left back Stephen Hendrie has flown to London to hold talks with West Ham. Hendrie is out of contract at the end of the season and the 20 year old defender could agree a pre contract deal to join in the summer. Accies vice chairman Ronnie MacDonald (again no pun!) last week criticised the Irons, claiming that a transfer fee in excess of £2m had been agreed. He said Hendrie agreed terms but that West Ham did not complete the deal. MacDonald was less than pleased because a fee had been agreed with Crystal Palace for Hendrie, who is a product of the Accies' youth system, before the Hammers hierarchy had shown an interest. The Scottish Premiership outfit had been keen to sell during the January transfer window, rather than wait until the summer for the compensation that they will be entitled to because of the player's age. However, it now looks likely that the Scotland Under 21 international will remain at New Douglas Park for the rest of the season. Hendrie, who had also been linked with Celtic, made his debut for Accies aged 16 and has made 97 appearances for the club.
The impending arrival for the Boleyn's final season of a fine young defender with already plenty of experience is something west ham fans can be excited about, as opposed to signing injury blighted 30 year olds with no sell on value. Enough said! -Ed

Baggies Away
Not such a good fifth round FA Cup draw for the Hammers, any Tony Pulis team is one to avoid, and an away tie against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Saturday 14th of February seems scant reward for all the effort against Everton and to some degree the match against Bristol City.
It could have been worse for West Ham fans, with Arsenal and most likely Manchester Utd and Liverpool who were all potential opponents. Is is not helpful generally to criticise team members, but if Hammers are to progress in to the next round of the FA Cup skipper, Kevin Nolan, must be benched! This is not a personal attack on a good servant to the club, but The Baggies will absolutely slaughter West Ham if Nolan starts, he just hasn't got the legs anymore, and what is worse is that he concedes free kicks by lashing out at opponents who have breezed past him to try and compensate for his lack of pace. This is not to say that Nolan is not a good player, and it is well known that he is a tremendous character in and around the dressing room, but it is quite clear that he cannot play as part of a diamond formation and perhaps is better suited to coming off the bench to shore things up during the final 20 minutes of a match.
If Big Sam wants his team to progress further in the competition, then unfortunately he has to drop his favourite player, will he do it? or maybe captain Kev will pick up a convenient face saving 'niggle' just before the match in order that his manager can put out a team that can at least hold it's own against a side that will present a stern physical challenge. -Ed
