Scott Parker signs for West Ham - £6.5m (+£500k) fee confirmed


Recommended Posts

I'll never forget his tackle on Joe Cole, it was brilliant.

 

I agree. But it's one outstanding performance against Arsenal and a few memorable tackles like that which seem to have people viewing him as a much better player than he actually is. Apart from being an excellent tackler he wasn't much special. Doesn't read the game that well, very rarely dribbles, not a great finisher, not a great passer, lacks composure. Much better than Nicky Butt though, obviously.

I'm glad we sold him if only because when Butt eventually goes I want to replace him with a big CM who can boss the middle of the park like M'Bia or Veloso. Parker in comparison is a pesky gnat without any great defensive or attacking qualities, just a tidy player with a good work ethic.

I have watched him 2 games of late & he does not boss a midfield.

He wasn't arsed in the first game, second game I saw he looked a lot better.

Was disapointed we let him go tbh, putting him back to dm alongside barton would have been good. We needed income though.

 

To buy who?Never been replaced as our DM.As Butt,who was here when he left stepped in.

 

I think it was more a notion that Barton coming in would replace Parker (and level out the transfer fee), the thought of moving Parker back to DM (where he had performed best) wasnt even considered, also probably and now Ironically we thought we were overstocked in midfield too.
