Sam Baldock having a medical at West Ham.

Thought Southampton had come in for him?

Terrible move for the guy, going to play for fat Sam Allrdyce.

Anyway, at least that should allow for Carlton ole to sign for us now.

Think he's definitely going. Did you not see McKay's quotes yesterday?

Just trying to make sure they get the exact deal they want from QPR.

I don't think he'll develop that much more physically Ian, he's a big lad already.

 

I mean in terms of acceleration and athleticism, not necessarily size. You might be right though, he might just not be naturally quick. Still think he has enough to make it in the Premier League.

Agree. However, if he can develop as a central midfielder it won't matter as much.

Really good that we gave this guy a chance at the number 1 spot. Keeper shouldn't be a worry for the next 10+ years. Unless he's sold of course.

Looks a bit tougher now. Ultimately think he might be suited to central midfield. Not really that mobile, but great touch, awareness and passing.

Despite the bollocks the pundits were spouting, he actually looked quite intelligent on the ball I thought. Threaded a few good passes through.

 

Blatant casual racism from the pundits midst their shitness. 

 

Black player with long legs and some skill.  Oh that would be a "unpredictable Wanchope" type that doesn't know what he's doing...

 

I was thinking that as they were saying it TBH, but I was wary of starting that discussion. It happens all the time in the media like, not surprising.

Same. I certainly wasn't going to bring it up, either. Just wanted to enjoy the perfromance.

Clearly always got his head up and played some lovely simple passes. Always showed composure on the ball even in very tight areas.

I'm just surprised because until the last year or so, didn't really hear much about him, in comparison to Vukic, Kadar and some of the others.

Incredibly happy. The Dynasty shall prosper 

 

Has to be said though, Ba's first 2 outings have been horrible.

 

Can't imagine what's up with Ba.

 

Looked a dynamic player for West Ham last season.

 

Looks totally unprepared for the start of this season.

 

He started off well enough, but completely lost it soon after.

 

He needs time, he seems like he could be a handful if he has his legs under him.

That's really what it looks like. Like he doesn't have his legs under him.

Pre-season really must have been a big fat joke. Fitness still looks like it hasn't come together yet.

None of the players in general have really looked fit and rearing to go, and we start games off very slowly.

Wow ... Pardew sure fumbled his way through that response.

He's not fasting, man.

Then I'm a bit worried tbh.

Looked so much more speedy and powerful for West Ham last year.

Not cool.

Fantastic demeanour on the pitch. Cool as ice.

Changes speeds unbelievably quickly, which caught the defenders out time and time again.

This guy is a very interesting prospect. Can't believe I rate an Ameobi. Unreal.

Really hoping this fasting for Ramadan thing is a factor, otherwise it's a real worry.

Incredibly happy. The Dynasty shall prosper

Jesus Christ Beresford ...

Would put Sammy ahead of Marveaux.

Lets just calm down a bit now!

f***ing Danny Simpson, I've seen snails on tranquilisers move faster, the lazy c***.

I could kill that guy tonight. Disgustingly bad in this game.

Very concerned about right back now. Simpson really hust looking like a pretty boy poser.

Sammy is so chill at the end there.

"Just another day at the office".

Krul, Sam Ameobi and Vukic. Exceptional play today.

Serious talent comign through. Very good stuff.

Bloody entertaining in the end. Blimey.

Steven Taylor has been immense. Miles ahead of Williamson now. Pretty cool.

Sammy uses the ball so well too. Always looks up and picks out the right pass. Very impressive.

This kid is a fucking superstar ...

End of!!!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaak me.

Is that am Ameobi for real?!

Unreal skillz. Wow!

Does Ryan Taylor understand how to go up for a header?

Simpson's hoofing leg must be aching now, like.

The guy is a moron.

Arsenal are going to put a bid in for Tim Krul at this rate...

Their young keeper is just as good. Krul to Man U in Jan. De Gea to Spanish minnows on loan.

Unlucky Sammy. Work on that right foot though!
