from the west ham 12 Jul 2010 17:31:05 West Ham News: David Sullivan has flown to france to hammer out a deal to bring France striker, Loic Remy to the club. The deal will be worth £12 million and will be payed in 2 installments. This move will see Carlton Cole leave the club to join Stoke for £14m. Sol Campbell is also in contact with the club over a possible 1 year contract. Pablo Barrera will West Ham's second signing so far after the £4m move was confirmed by Barrera's club 'Pumas', expect this to be announced by West Ham very shortly. After Ilan, Mido and Franco's depature, more strikers will be required and Piquionne was close to signing before his club demanded more money, this should be agreed shortly and the move will go ahead. We are still chasing Yakubu and could make a new bid. If the Russian Billionaire invests in West Ham we could make a new bid for Santos wonderkid 'Neymar'. Kieron Dyer is being assessed in training and if the coaches do not think he is fit enough he will be released. Spector, Cole, Upson and Gabbidon will leave.

Is cole that good? Don't get me wrong I would love him to sign for us, but really what has he done to command such a fee? Last season 13 goals, more that ours granted but for 14 million! At least dick Turpin wore a mask.

it would be a landmark signing thats for sure
overpriced?probably but as long as the wages are within budget (& dont cause unrest) then it'd be good for SCFC
clearly would fit in our play
clearly he'd play very week
not sure he'd get more than 10/12 goals mind & his injury record....

Brilliant if ture. I'm sure he could get 15-20 goals a season if played up front with Fuller.

14M? lmfao, being real he's only worth half that.
14M? we wont be paying that, we'll let them sign the frog and then they are stuck with him if they dont sell for 9M maximum, nobody will pay 14M, let the fuckers drown in debt.

I think Yakubu would be a better signing for us and we could get him cheaper.

That Rumour is from football-rumours.co.uk which allows ANYBODY to submit a rumour. The last window someone posted that we had lodged an audacious bid to sign Kuyt and Babel for a combined £10million ffs. Would be great if true but it is clearly someone making their own rumours on the back of paper talk.

I dont understand why anyone would prefer him not to come if he costs £14m
Its not 'our' money is it and if Uncle Peter can fund it - let him !

Cole is worth between £10-15million.
So if we end up paying £14million then its about right

I don't get why sooo many Stoke fans don't know the facts. Two people say "15-20 goal man isnt going to happen" and "nobody would score 15-20 goals in a tony pulis team" which is complete BS.
Fuller - 15 goals 07-08 Lawrence - 15 goals 07-08 Robert Taylor - 98-99
There the ones I can remember

A bit harsh that, considering Pulis has only managed there for two seasons and Fuller got 11 in his first season

Carlton Cole - 48 goals - 213 games Yakubu - 108 goals - 277 games Cole for 14 million is a rip off. £14 M of Peter Coates' money, not yours, not mine, for a young, English, Premier League, international striker and you're worrying about it being a rip off. Get real everything in football is a rip off. this is the sort of rip off we should be dancing a jig over should it be true.

£14m? Surely we could get someone better than Cole for £14m. Is this how inflated price tags are these days? Mama must be worth about £6m in that case.

Cole is worth between £10-15million. So if we end up paying £14million then its about right He is worth about £10 mil However I really cannot see us paying £14m up front, it would be sommat like £9m now and £5m depending on games played, goals etc. Be an outstanding signing if true!!!
