Cronky Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Some of the stick Parker gets is unbelievable imo. Quite happy for him to go for £7million though. Butt is a better DM and the money could be better spent elsewhere. I think over his time at the club there have been more posts on this forum claiming how great he is and that is what is unbelievable. There was a time not too long ago when those who thought Parker was crap and said so were in a very small minority on here. It seems he's been sussed now by the majority. It took a long time but that's ok, just as long as this heap of talentless s**** buggers off. I was having a dig at the sheep. I think you called him right before most, along with Crumpy, although the criticism was ott. He's a canny player but nothing special imo. I think a move suits all parties. In fairness though i called it very early in the peace - ie. at the time of his signing - and when the vast majority were salivating over his 'gutsy defensive hacker-esque' performances under Clueless, when utilized as a sideline-to-sideline protector of the back 4, i also claimed that this particular role upset our formational balance across the midfield line. Well done to you too then I knew he was shit the first time I saw that MacDonald's advert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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...

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...
