Recommended Posts

Where is this from?

 

Shame it didn't work out. Love his attitude (in the first season anyway) and his style... but he simply didn't bring much to the side.

signed for west ham according to ssn

 

This summer has been so crazy already. I mean I knew it was coming but I can't believe it has actually been finalized now.

 

Scott Parker is gone! Wow! Good luck to him, shame he couldn't pass or shoot really.

Breaking news bar on SSN said "West ham agree undisclosed fee" then the tit head presenter said he has signed for them. I have a feeling he is jumping the gun because Parker is on holiday.

Must agree with UM big time.

Massively overrated and I'm ecstatic we're no longer burdened with having to play "an England international".

Must admit...that tackle on Joe Cole was legend

 

Good luck SP...and thanks for whatever it was you thought you did for the club.

I guess it was inevitable that he would leave us.Thanks for everything you have done Parky and hope you will have a successful time with West Ham.I wonder who will be the next captain.I think its either Given or Butt.

HAMMERS AGREE PARKER PRICE

 

By Andrew Scurr -  Created on 1 Jun 2007

 

West Ham United have agreed an undisclosed fee with Newcastle United for Scott Parker.

 

The midfielder has been allowed to move on by new Magpies boss Sam Allardyce who is believed to be targeting Joey Barton as Parker's replacement.

 

Parker will once again link up with Alan Curbishley at West Ham, with the pair having previously worked together at Charlton.

 

The 26-year-old left The Addicks in January 2004 in a £10million move to Chelsea, but he failed to make a real impression at Stamford Bridge.

 

Parker joined Newcastle last summer but his time in the North East lasted just one season as he is now heading back to London.

 

The Hammers are believed to be paying in the region of £8.5million for Parker's services and have fended off late interest from Tottenham.

 

Parker will likely be Nigel Reo-Coker's replacement at Upton Park after the West Ham captain handed in a transfer request this week.

 

He has been at Newcastle 2 seasons. At least the wage bill will have come down a bit.

I doubt I've seen a player as over rated as Parker.

 

I couldn't understand how he ever ended up at SJP. He came with an appaling record and didn't improve it one bit over his two years here.

 

 

Amazing it appears we made a profit.

 

 

Agree with Crumps here.

Am i right in saying David Edgar can play as a DM, really don't want Barton unless Sam can sort him out. Suppose if Dyer is staying signing Barton is one way to keep him in line.

Wow, we really mean business this tranfser window.   It will also be good to get rid of his massive wage bill.

 

Hopefully Babayaro and Carr will be next.

 

It would be like all our christmas's coming at once....really hope we have a replacement lined up.

A bit disappointed to see him leave to be honest, if the fee is £8.5m then it could be a good bit of business, but if it's the £7m being quoted by a lot of the media today then I'm not sure. The aspect of the transfer I'm most unsure about is who we'll bring in to replace him, Barton seems to be the favourite and I'm not really sure what to make of that. He's a decent enough player, but has a terrible attitude.
