Konch & Marlon Out!
Paul Konchesky has signed for Fulham for an undisclosed fee beleived to be around the 4m GBP mark. It has been apparent since Curbishley arrived at the club that Paul's days were numbered at West Ham. I know many will be pleased to see Paul leave but I think he had some good games for West Ham and I will remember him for those performances rather than the less than convincing ones. He will go down in our history as having scored in an FA Cup final albeit a bizare goal.
Also on his way out is Marlon Harewood. We have accepted offers from both Wigan and Villa and he is beleived to be currently in talks with Martin O'Neill. I don't think Marlon got much of a chance to shine under Alan Curbishley and again this is player I will remember for his positive contribution rather than a negative one. Things didn't work out so well for Marlon this year but his contribution in terms of goals in our promotion campaigns and our first season back ion the premiership will remain in my memory. He scored the goal that got us in the FA Cup final and gave us a rare shot at European competition.
We can't hate all our ex players and I think we should reserve the booing for NRC & Yossi next season and give these 2 a warm welcome when they come back to face us next year.

If Marlon is fit and gets a good run of starts and his confidence up I think he could cause us (and a lot of other teams) some real headaches.
imho he isn't suited to a bit of time here, a bit of time there.
I have not been a PK fan (passes went astray far too often, he would always seem to play it into a corner forcing himself to hoof it long) but I wish both players well...

I would like to see Marlon stay, but if he goes I won't hold it against him. He's been a great player for us and I'll always keep an eye out for how he's doing.
As for PK well he started out well but just isn't performing for us, however I have to say that he's always put in the yards and for that I respect him. Like you guys I wish them both well.
