West Ham: Svi su igrači na prodaju

Iz londonskoga nogometnog kluba West Ham Uniteda otvorili su sezonu lova na vlastite nogometaše. Učinio je to osobno izvršni direktor kluba Scott Duxburry...

- Ne smijemo se bojati interesa drugih klubova za naše igrače, makar i one najbolje - izjavio je Duxburry pojasnivši:

- Svaka ponuda koja u klub dođe za bilo kojeg igrača bit će razmotrena na ozbiljan način: u kontekstu novca, fizičke spremnosti i forme igrača, te stava trenera o važnosti svakoga od njih.

Gianfranco Zola tako bi u nastavak sezone mogao s prilično krnjim sastavom, obzirom da su ponuđači dobrodošli i kad su u pitanju Craig Bellamy, Matthew Upson ili Scott Parker.

“Čekićare” je na ovako drastičan rez natjerala katastrofalna materijalna situacija. Teško vraćaju svoje kredite, nastale još nakon problematičnih dolazaka Carlosa Teveza i Javiera Mascherana, a zbog kojih su bili dužni plaćati penale i FA-a i Sheffield Wednesdayu, klubu koji je ispao iz Premiershipa u grčevitoj borbi s West Hamom, za koje su igrali nepravilno registrirani igrači.

I Tevez i Macherano bili su zapravo pod ugovorima s vlastitom menadžerskom agencijom, te ih je West Ham samo posudio. Engleski nogometni zakoni takve statuse igrača najstrože brane.

Ipak, Duxburry je naglasio da će na kraju o eventualnim transferima prije odlučivati mišljenje trenera nego sama zarada.

Mullins leaves for Portsmouth
Hayden Mullins has left West Ham United for Portsmouth on a three-and-a-half year contract

West Ham United have allowed midfielder Hayden Mullins to join Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee.

Mullins has been a loyal servant for the club since signing from Crystal Palace for £800,000 in October 2003 and was the longest-serving first-team player at the Boleyn Ground. Mullins was given permission to talk to Portsmouth on Sunday after a substantial bid was made for his services. He then travelled to the south-coast club to complete a medical and agree personal terms.

The midfielder, who turns 30 in March, played 178 league games for the club, scoring four goals. However, he had started just eight games in all competitions this campaign, along with 13 appearances off the bench. The Reading-born player has agreed a three-and-a-half year contract at Fratton Park.

West Ham United manager Gianfranco Zola said: "I wish Hayden well for the future. I did not want to lose him but at this point in his career he wanted to play regularly and I respect his wishes. He asked me if he could talk to Portsmouth and I could have said 'No' but he is a man that has shown this club a lot of respect. He has been loyal and it would not have been fair to stand in his way."

West Ham United CEO Scott Duxbury said: "I would like to thank Hayden for his valued contribution. I wish him well and have no doubt that our supporters will give him a good reception whenever he returns. Gianfranco has been clear about allowing players on the fringes to get first-team football elsewhere if the opportunity arises and - given the fee, his age and his desire to play regularly - this deal is good for all parties.

"The manager has also spoken about improving the squad and I am working closely with him and technical director Gianluca Nani to make this happen. Any new arrivals will complement our blend of experienced internationals and homegrown youngsters. Our aim is simply to continue progressing in the league and the FA Cup, and build for the future at West Ham United."

West Ham complete Nsereko signin
West Ham have signed Brescia striker Savio Nsereko and will confirm his capture later on Monday.

The Uganda-born forward will be a direct replacement for Craig Bellamy, who moved to Manchester City last week.

The fee for Nsereko, 19, has not been revealed but it is expected to be a club record, topping the £7.5m West Ham paid Liverpool for Bellamy in 2007.

Hammers technical director Gianluca Nani worked with Germany under-19 star Nsereko when he was at Brescia.

The striker can play in a variety of attacking positions and was named player of the tournament at last year's Uefa Under-19 Championship in the Czech Republic, which was won by Germany.

He was also reported to have attracted interest from Italian giants Roma and Juventus.
   
Nsereko has scored three goals in 17 appearances for Serie B side Brescia this season.

His signing will reassure fans who had feared the Londoners would only be a selling club during the January transfer window.

Owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson has been beset by financial problems in recent months and is considering selling the club.

But other than Bellamy, who was determined to leave Upton Park, West Ham have only sold fringe players Matthew Etherington, Lee Bowyer and Hayden Mullins.

Какав је тај Нсереко?

Doveden je na insistiranje sportskog direktora kluba (Nanija) koji je radio sa njim i u Bresi kad je Nsereko imao 16 godina. Lik igra za mladu nemacku reprezentaciju gde igra poluspica, a u Bresi je igrao klasicnog napadaca. Valjda je dobar dribler, dosta je eksplozivan i trebalo bi da ima dobru prangiju (sut). Uglavnom tek treba da se dokaze...

ОК хвала за инфо. Ја га знам са ФИФА 08, млад а слабо оцењен, а брзо се набуџи, што ће рећи да је талентован. А никад га нисам гледао.

Штета што такав таленат оде у Вест Хем...

Sto steta?! Vest Hem je mozda i najbolje mesto za mladog igraca (sto se Engleske tice), mogu ti nabrojati koliko god hoces fudbalera, koji su prosli kroz klub i posle otisli u vece klubove i uradili nesto u karijeri.

Није требао уопште да иде у Енглеску...

Kovač blizu Vest Hema
Češki reprezentativac Radoslav Kovač blizu je selidbe u engleski Vest Hem.

29-godišnji Kovač na tržištu vredi oko 4 miliona funti, a poslednje tri sezone je proveo u Spartaku iz Moskve.

Stameni Kovač je tokom leta povezivan sa prelaskom u Milan, ali se taj transfer na kraju nije dogodio. Njegov agent tvrdi da ima i još zainteresovanih klubova.

Ako uspeju da dovedu Kovača, nakon dolaska Savija N'Sereka iz Breše, ovo bi bio veoma uspešan prelazni rok za tim Đanfranka Zole.

Za to vec nisam kompetentan, iskreno prvi put sam za coveka cuo kad su krenule price da je Vest Hem zainteresovan za njega, ali kad je vec dosao u Englesku nije mogao da izabere bolji klub za napredovanje

P.S. Czech midfielder Kovac joins West Ham on loan

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Spartak Moscow have loaned defensive midfielder Radoslav Kovac to West Ham United for six months, the Russian Premier League club said.

"I've spent four great years at Spartak but now it's time for a change," the 29-year-old Czech Republic international told Spartak's website (rus.spartak.com).

"I have the phone numbers of my former Spartak team mates (Manchester United defender) Nemanja Vidic and (Tottenham Hotspur striker) Roman Pavlyuchenko so I can get in touch with them in England."
