Leazes1986 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hammers eye Solano move Aug 9 2007 By Alan Oliver, Evening Chronicle WEST HAM have turned their attention to Nobby Solano after their move for his Newcastle United colleague Kieron Dyer fell through. Nobby Solano But in contrast to the £6m the Hammers put on the table for Dyer, I understand that Alan Cubishley wants to pick up Solano on a free transfer. From Solano’s point of view, he is 32 now and he would be looking for a two-year contract, although the word from East London this afternoon was that West Ham were keener on a 12-month deal. Solano first surfaced at St James’ Park in the summer of 1998 when Kenny Dalglish paid a bargain £2.5m to Boca Juniors for the Peruvian international. He went to Aston Villa in January 2004 and came back 18 months later, on the day Michael Owen joined United. He is the leading United scorer on Newcastle’s books with 48 goals, and it’s fair to say he is a legend on Tyneside. Meanwhile, Dyer will be in the United squad when they leave Tyneside tomorrow for Saturday’s opener with Bolton. This will undoubtedly be another major talking point among the United fans. And it’s certainly a turnaround for Dyer, who this time last week fully expected to make his Premiership debut for West Ham in their home game with Manchester City on Saturday. Speaking about his team plans for the first time for what will be an emotional return to the Reebok, Sam Allardyce told me today: "Kieron Dyer is a Newcastle United player until West Ham see the light and resolve the situation. "He is fit and well and has had a proper pre-season, and he will be involved in our squad for the game at Bolton. "Kieron has to go to Bolton and do what is best for both himself and the club. He is contracted to this football club for the next couple of years unless there is a change in the situation. "If there is a change we will deal with it accordingly." Big Sam is fully aware that some fans will not be happy to see Dyer in a United shirt again, but his job is to get results and he will pick side accordingly. My view is that Dyer should have been sold when he refused to play on the wing in at Middlesbrough exactly three years ago. Failing that, the time certainly seemed right for Dyer to go this time last week in the proposed £6m transfer to West Ham. It’s doubtful if Hammers boss Alan Curbishley will come back in, leaving Dyer to yet again try to salvage his career at St James’ Park. Big Sam is without three midfielders in Joey Barton, Emre and Damien Duff, and as a result the worst Dyer can expect at Bolton is a place on the bench. He could even sneak into the team depending on just who Big Sam decides to play at left-back until he can get new signing Jose Enrique into his side. Allardyce insists he does not want to consider his two latest signings, Enrique or Cacapa, although both are expected back at the training ground tomorrow after being allowed to return to their respective homes to sort out their domestic arrangements. Apart from his long-term injuries – Emre, Duff and Celestine Babayaro – Allardyce will be without Shay Given and Michael Owen tomorrow. This means that three of the candidates to lead the team out at the Reebok – Owen, Barton and Given – will be missing. But when I asked Allardyce today if he had decided on his captain he replied: "Not yet." Aye so we offered him a new contract this summer with the intentions of releasing him to West Ham for a free transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nobby is legend, a Toon legend, not a cockney legend. We kiss the ground he walks on here and shower him with black and white petals............he's not going anywhere................... ..............WITHOUT A FUCKING FIGHT!!

James Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hasn't Solano started most or all of our preseason games in his preferred position. Seems that he's very much part of Sam's plans, at least until Duff returns. I can't see solano wanting out if that remains the case. Of course, Nobby will probably get phased out into a rotation/squad role in the medium-term, but he would still be an excellent squad player, and I'd doubt the situation would be better at Wet Spam.

mouldy_uk Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Can't see this happening at all, Solano loves Newcastle (and vice versa) + he can cover RB if required which may prove very useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
