Yeah...him and Bellamy up front by the looks of it.

Benitez needs to f@ck off though. He admits he's been told by us that we don't want to sell Benayoun, YET...he wont leave it at that.

c**t!

8m pounds and 75,000 wages a week

That's about 5million euros a year, what Chivu was demanding

I thought he said there was a disagreement on the valuation.

Bellamy is a definately a decent player, decent signing

good signing but Bellamy and Ashton just isn't tevez and Ashton is it?, still though I think Bellers will do well for you

Tevez will be just another player at the Wancs...

Bellamy will do great I reckon.

4 signings made for us, and 4 more to go (LB, RW, CM, ST)

Great signing, great player, a bit expensive but with their sugar daddy at the helm WH can afford it.

The deal is agreed, but he can't sign yet. Liverpool have not yet paid his loyalty bonus

If you want rid of him...pay it FFS.

Egg bloke should just pay it and get it out of the way.

loyalty bonus? He only stayed there a season.

5 teams in 4 seasons...what a player

You paid the 300k for Barton didn't you? Liverpool are sorting it Monday apparently. Don't see why they just don't do it now.

@FF...He had it in his contract obviously...he has been sold without asking to leave=activates loyalty bonus.

Bellamy is a c**t but a decent player, £8m is a fair bit to pay for him but could be a snip if he gets his blackburn form back.

Fabaurt £6m
Bellamy £8m
Parker £8m

£22m spent ! how much more do you think is left to spend deano ?

Who has mullins gone to ? i know he was inked with Charlton but i never saw a deal go through.

Going to Charlton for £1m in the next few days mate.

Charlton adding a bit more creativity to their midfield I see.

I think you or me could of added creativity to that midfield based on last season.

As I said...when you have Bryan Hughes and Matt Holland starting every week...you deserve to be relegated.

In th eprem yes but i think Hughes is a decent signing for Hull though. I think CHarlton will have a good looking squad next season but it will be a question of if they can gel together fast cos its going to be a team of new players. I think Watford will be very strongcos they will keep a settled team and just add 2 or 3 good players.

We will win the league.

Well Bellamy is a lot better than Voronin so only thing i can guess is Voronin is happy being 4th choice while Bellamy is not. I don't get how they managed to sell him for more than they paid for him though, he wasnt exactly a success.

they probably threatened to get a few drinks in him and hand him a golf club if they didnt up their bid

Thanks for the cash West Ham, hes a Cr@p player, who played 40 odd games and scored 9 goals in a top 4 team.

If he hits double figures for you guys i'll eat my hat. You would have done better buying Cisse, for all his faults at least he does hit the back of the net.

And please do your best to keep Benayoun, not a player im raving about, for christ sakes Benitez stop wasting your time pursuing players which will not dramatically affect the starting x11.

It's shame he played in a system that so obviously didn't suit him. When Benitez signed him i thought it was strange, but then thought maybe he's going to change Pools style of play to a more open counter attacking style in which Bellamy would do well - like the last time he played for a top 4 team. No such luck for Bellars. If West Ham can get him back to his Newcastle and Blackburn form then he will prove to be a bargain.
