Shorey also has about 18 months left on his contract doesn't he ? If so there is no immediate rush for Reading to sell, I am still not convinced by Curbishleys tactics or transfer targets, it is obvious we need a playmaker in the midfield, in Bellamy and Ashton we have the centre forwards to get us 35 + goals between them with BZ to keep them under pressure and Carlton Cole as reserves I can't understand why we need more strikers... its not like we are in the CL or UEFA cup, having too many quality players just causes unrest imho, look at Chelsea, Liverpool and to a lesser degree the spuds now for that. Is far better to have one quality reserve in each position and a few utility men like Man U and the Gooners if you want a happy settled team. Hopefully Curbs will prove me wrong and get the team playing the type of attacking football we produced at the end of last season, its the way we play best, screw sitting deep to defend a 1 goal lead, in 35 years of watching West Ham we have never been any good at it no matter what position we were in the table and I can't understand why no WHU manager has worked that out yet can any of you ?.

How did Sven Manage to sign 8 players in a couple of weeks and it takes us 2 months to sign a couple, no-one will want to come to West Ham as they know they will have at least 6 months out injured Still say Curbs needs to wake up.
