All hell broke loose on the last day of the transfer window for the Hammers. Benni McCarthy was finally secured from Blackburn and new owners Gold and Sullivan had hinted that the Hammers would get a Brazilian.
The Brazilian in question was Ilan, or more fully, Ilan Araújo Dall’Igna, a Brazilian with an Italian [...]

By: Martin | No Comments
Gianfranco Zola looks like he has made his mind up and will be doing his best to poach Livorno midfielder Antonio Candreva when the transfer window opens again in January. Zola coached Candreva in the Italian U-21 team so it has been no surprise to Zola how well Candreva has played for Livorno this season. [...]
Hammers Pick Up Another Striker
By: Martin | 1 Comment
Looks like the Hammers have snatched up another striker, this time out-of-contract Guillermo Franco, most recently at the Spanish club, Villarreal. The 32 year old Argentinean, but plays for Mexico, has been a decent goalscorer, hitting 14 goals in 81 appearances with Villarreal and 6 goals in 19 international matches with the Mexican national team. [...]
Zola Rents a Ferrari
By: Martin | 4 Comments
But this Ferrari is 17 years old, does not go much over 10 mph and will surely cost more in the long run than a brand spanking new F430. Apparently Zola managed to secure the services of Davide Ferrari from Brescia Calcio before the transfer window, but due to obtaining clearances, the deal was not [...]
Bye Bye Jimmy C

James Collins may be saying goodbye to the Claret and Blue of the Hammers, but he is saying hello to the Claret and Blue of Aston Villa. After dissing Stoke City earlier in August, Jimmy C obviously felt a lot more comfortable about the Villa. It seems like there is always a deal to be [...]

By: Martin | No Comments
As the transfer window slams shut for another three months, teams are studying their player and options like a game of Risk on steroids. The Hammers have been last minute shoppers before with the gifted and disastrous signing of Carlos Alberto Tévez (and the ‘always smiling’ Javier Mascherano) back on this day in 2006.
Today, [...]
And The Winner Is…..
By: Martin | No Comments
Gianfranco Zola finally got his man and signed Alessandro Diamanti from Livorno for an estimated £6m. Alessandro helped Livorno win promotion from Serie A with a tally of 18 goals in 37 games for the Italian club last season, with 6 goals in the final 10 matches. Hopefully Alessandro will quickly strike up a meaningful [...]
Villa To Bid On Upson
By: Martin | No Comments
As Aston Villa’s season has began in a rather shaky manner, manager Martin O’Neill may be opening his check book with a £12 million bid for Matthew Upson. Having already been stalked by Manchester City, Villa may have to significantly increase their offer to prize Upson out of the West Ham line-up. With a goal [...]
Collins Transfer To Stoke Has Stalled
By: Martin | 3 Comments
James Collins failed to agree personal terms with Stoke today, so it appears his move looks unlikely to happen. With Gianfranco Zola’s comments about not needing to sell players, the Collins’ deal with Stoke may be more about raising some cash to buy a player than needed to sell to balance the books. The Collins’ [...]
Pick A Striker. Any Striker.
By: Martin | No Comments
Is there a striker in Europe who has not had their name linked with a move to the Hammers? Let’s take a roll call; first it was Zola’s playing buddy currently at Barcelona, Eidur Gudjohnsen, then the Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli, as well as the cat and mouse game for Bordeaux’s Marouane Chamakh, and [...]
