JH Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Parker joins West Ham United 06/06/2007 15:38 West Ham United are delighted confirm that Scott Parker today completed a £7 million transfer from Newcastle United. Alan Curbishley made the accomplished England international his first signing of the summer as the midfielder pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Hammers "I'm delighted Scott has agreed to sign for us," said Curbs. "Our relationship goes back some time to when he first joined Charlton as a schoolboy. "He's coming to the Club knowing full well that we're trying to push forward and he wants to be part of that. Firstly he wants to improve our team; then he wants to improve his chances of forcing his way back into the England scene. "He has been captain of Newcastle over the last couple of seasons and he is exactly the type of player that I wanted to bring to the Club. He's very experienced but still young and I'm sure he's going to be a big asset to West Ham." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Gave his best imo, but i'm not overly bothered to see him go, especially since he wanted out anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Good luck to him. West Ham are cunts but i appreciate the effort Parker put in for us. He didn't have a great season last year but he had an excellent first season. He's clearly got the ability to be a good defensive midfielder, just needs to be a bit more disciplined.

Teasy Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hopefully its £7 million with addons based on appearances making it up to the originally mentioned £8.5 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 £1.5m less than I was hoping for. Aye, but i'll take it tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Good luck to him. West Ham are c***s but i appreciate the effort Parker put in for us.

Guest johnson293 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hopefully its £7 million with addons based on appearances making it up to the originally mentioned £8.5 million. This should be announced to the LSE - that may say whether its £7m + add-ons - pretty sure the statement when Jenas was sold did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we've sort of already replaced him too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Parker has been replaced. Emre needs to go now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I hope we keep Emre, don't think we've seen the best of him yet. When he's good, he's brilliant, just need to see it a lot more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I would keep Emre like, Parker leaving is enough for us to lose from midfield we have Barton and we could still do with another in really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Parker has been replaced. Emre needs to go now. Sure, let's not give him a chance under new leadership, knowing full well he's a quality player on his day as Wullie just stated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'd like to see us getting Kevin Nolan. Should't be a problem for Big Sam and he's a bit taller than the rest of our midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I wonder who Sam will pick as captain then - I bet it's Joey Barton! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan_Shearer Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Apart from the fact that Nolan has pledged that he is staying that Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Don't need Nolan now we have an attacking midfielder in Barton. Why do i get the feeling that the Barton thing was only going through after Parker had gone. Does this indicate a lack of funds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Allardyce is still working with the same money we started the summer on remember? He can't go flashing the cash before the Ashley situation is finalised.

Why do i get the feeling that the Barton thing was only going through after Parker had gone. Does this indicate a lack of funds? Probably intelligence tbh. Two very similar players, only one needed.

This deal can happen regardless of the takeover situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I wonder who Sam will pick as captain then - I bet it's Joey Barton! nah, Nicky Butt pipping Given to it for the same reason Parker did - a keeper isn't considered to be as effective a captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thank fuck he's gone. There wasn't a single day he was at the Club that I thought him worthy of wearing the shirt. He was never the type of player we needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Allardyce is still working with the same money we started the summer on remember? He can't go flashing the cash before the Ashley situation is finalised. I wasn't sure whether he had been allocated money by us or whether we were waiting for the takeover. Either way it can't harm us that we have a man CAPABLE of working with a small budget.
