Well Samba wants to get the hell out of Blackburn, but strangely he doesn’t seem keen on joining QPR. In fact, he doesn’t even seem keen on joining Tottenham. Instead, the great Blackburn lump has his eyes on Paris, openly inviting a bid from PSG. Fernandes can offer £15m in the certain knowledge that the …

Another day ticks by, and still we await the first signing. We had a fortnight between the Coventry game and the Pompey match to recruit new players, and that is now down to just two days. So, there will be no new striker to bang in the goals and no new winger to supply the ammunition, obviously. So how …

He’s cheap, he can score BUT Jamie Vardy plays in the Conference league. Worth a punt or a step too far for him? His price tag is one million (for a non league player ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?) West Ham sent scouts to watch Jamie score two goals in their 4-1 win against Barrow. Anyway…

So Fernandes, to give him his due, has acted quickly and decisively. With poor old Warnock clearly floundering, the Malaysian hasn’t buggered around, he’s simply got rid and recruited the best guy currently available as a replacement. Hughes has been there and got the t shirt, so looks like a safe pair of hands. The …

…we will be renamed West Ham All Stars before you know it! How good are these players? Well worryingly Allardyce has no idea. As he admitted on Radio 5, he doesn’t bother to check out players personally, he trusts to his scouts. Whereas Stoke’s Tony Pulis insists on seeing a player perform live before he …

So, Allardyce has added to the squad at last. Is he John George, George John, Boy George, John Boy or John Ringo Paul George? God only knows! I’ve never heard of him? Have you? He’s big at 6’3, so he is a typical Allardyce player, but that’s just about any of us know at the moment. Not one to …
