Yossi Fee Agreed!
Yossi Benayoun is set to leave West Ham after the club agreed a fee with Liverpool beleived to be in the region of 4m GBP. The transfer is set to infuriate fans as the player had gone back on his word to sign a 5 year improved contract and it would appear that Liverpool are guilty yet again of tapping up other clubs players.
To me the fee seems a little light if reported amounts are correct. We need some flair in our side to replace Yossi and it will cost us a lot more than 4m and in today's market I think this transfer is daylight robbery. I'm disgusted with Liverpool for their arrogance and for unsettling one of our most creative players as he was about to put pen to paper on a long term deal with the club.
In other news Craig Bellamy has completed a 7.5M GBP deal to West Ham. I beleive he will be a good signing for the club and we will have a very strong front line next season. We just need some flair now to add to the steel.

Ok I've sorted it. It wouldn't let me click in the text box but when I clicked on the title text next to the text box it gave me a cursor - very strange!!!

4 Mill!Definitely daylight robbery.
Fucked right off with this deal.
Benitez's unsettling tactics were slimey to say the least. Not that any of the media will think so, oh no, 'big 4' club doing something deceitful, never! Same with Fergie at the moment, fuck me if he's talking like Tevez is sitting next to him at a press conference! Arrogance of the highest order.
But my worst rant goes to Yossi, for a man who is adored by the faithful at UP this is a real kick in the balls. He agrees to a new deal then reneges. What an arsehole! This is disrespectful to us and the club. He hasn't said a word publically since agreeing to a deal and now this! I hope he enjoys sitting on the bench 'cause a sqaud player is all he will be at Liverdrool. I for one will slate him whenever I get the chance.
And you can bet we'll be paying a shit load more than 4 Mill to replace him, that's assuming we can find someone?
Not fucking happy!

I've given my yossi thoughts in the earlier thread.
In terms of Bellamy, not sure I'm convinced that we will "have a very strong front line next season".
How many goals do you think Bellamy scored for Liverpool? 20? 15? Nup, 7. From 27 appearances.
Not exactly prolific.
Let's farken hope Ashton is fit and hits form from the get-go.
And as you say we need flair cause at the moment we got sweet f.a.
Unless we have some more signings up our sleeve you best be putting us in with Birmingham & Bolton as faves for the drop.

Munky, Yossi did drift in and out of games too much really but I'd rather have him in the team than not. And 4 mill is not on mate, no way. The main reason I'm fucked off is because he went back on his word and he's pissed on us and the club from a great height. And I'm wild as about it.
Bellamy will score mate. He may not be prolific but neither was Tevez! and then again who is in the premier at the moment? Now that Henry is gone, I don't reckon they'll be many scoring 20+ this season and therefore may be viewed as prolific. I reckon he'll get between 12 to 18 goals for us this season.
We won't be in a relegation scrap this year mate no way and that's with the team we've got let alone new arrivals. And there's still plenty of time for a few new faces as well:)

Curbs Out
Are we the new Manchester City or the new Newcastle United?
No good choices there, either way.
The latest signings (and most of the last ones) are like our manager, uninspiring never-beens and never will-bes.
It's like the female boss that won't hire women prettier than she is.

Liverpool got by because they had 12 from Kuyt, 9 from Crouch, few mopre from Gerard...we're gonna need several contributions as well.
I see Bellamy has been in Sierre Leone doing some charity work..
McF I don't think its so much Curbs not wanting to get exciting players, more the exciting players don't wanna come to Curbs. End of the day he's still a big part of the problem.

Fuck'n hell Munky! Cheer up old son, we ain't kicked a fuck'n ball yet and you've got us floundering at the bottom of the table with, scoring no goals and with a shit manager! Come on mate let's be 'avin no more of this doom and gloom shit. It's a new season and if the wheels do fall off they'll be heaps of time to moan. But for now be happy that we are indeed still in the PL which I didn't think I'd be saying not that long ago. We'll be ok this season mate, for sure. Just think mate, it could be worse you could be a Fulham fan, bbbrrrraaaawwwhhhh!!!!!!
Dave said...
Munky - he hardly played for Liverpool did he? I think he scored 17 goals for Blackburn the year before.
Career stats 120 goals in 347 games. Not bad.
