Any body here hear about the argument betwen Curbs and Lucas Neil, apparently Neil walked into the dressing room after the game and said "We just saved your ****in job." What a ****** eh.

you knock people for spreading and talking rumours

then you spread them round




you a bit confused kid

He previously bought the players he wanted and they were really bad buys. Freddie Ljungberg signed for 4 years and payed off after one. Kieran Dyer Bowyer They sold Anton Ferdinand for something like 8 or 9 million, which is damn good business and I can understand the club wanting to accept such an offer.

That's the trouble with managers that are used to dealing at the bottom end of the market.

If they go to a bigger club (yes West Ham is bigger than Charlton in this case), they don't know what to do with the money, or how to spend it.

Case in point, Sam Allardyce, Mark Hughes (or anyone else at Man City, not that he will get the chance to choose who he buys now), Harry Redknapp (if he ever went to a really big club).

Pardew bought Bowyer.

Fair enough. They really do get **** managers.

I can see the point about Ferdiand but I think you have to tell the manager in time to allow replacements to be sourced. I'm also not sure how much control Curbishley has ever had over purchases and certainly a lot of the problems have been the values they have paid in tranfer fees and wages. For a club like West Ham both Dyer and Ljungberg would have represented decent gambles at the right prices/wages. Overall though they have had no balanced strategy in their transfers for a while and it has cost them.

Not really sure there is much there to work with at the minute unless by some miracle all their players get back to fitness.
