Duxberry has said that no-one is leaving unless a suitable replacement has been lined up so in theory, we won’t be short of any position

I can’t believe that Wenger will not try to boost his defence in the January window as they are in dire need of a central defender. Looking around at who might be available you have to say that Upson would be the most likely choice. If a big enough offer came in the club would accept it and Upson would get Champions League football (at least for 2 games!) and be better placed to push on with his international claims.
We’ll probably end up selling both Upson and Davenport and then we will be short at the back.

Jerome Anderson is just repeating parrot fashion tabloid gossip and the day I start being interested in Paul Miller’s view on global financies and legalities will be the day after I’ve had a lobotomy.

My new year resolutions are 1. Dont belive ANYTHING in the gutter press.
2.Have total faith in Zola and the team he picks.
3. Try and belive in the Board , until proven wrong.

Lucas Neil iritates me. I would like to see him go. Overrated and overpaid.

Strange how he gets himself injured the game before the transfer window opens?

I guess hes sticking around till his comfy contract is up.

Who would be mad enought to pay his wages? (apart from us of course!)

Upson or Parker for the captains armband (if they are still around in February)

Just heard Football Agent Jerome Anderson on 5 live and he pretty much said that Scott Parker and Craig Bellamy will be out the door anytime soon! Paul Miller (ex Spurs, who these days sees himself as some kind of Football Club broker, was also on saying we had to sell because of uncertainty over who actually owned the club (i.e. Icelandic/UK Governments, etc) and cash flow problems. Couldn’t really figure that one out! Must say i thought the ownership issue had been clarified.

Harry still spouting off as well about a list he has given to his Chairman. Be great if we went in for Bentley or Lennon wouldn’t it? Wonder how Harry would deal with press speculation like that. Might shut him up eh!

I agree with a lot of others that Davenport had done nothing wrong and Collins should have been on the bench.
It is such a shame that Davenport has reacted badly,and as a football manager myself all you want from your players is good behaivour as otherwise having an attitude only rubs off to other players which you don’t want in any team.
If Davenport goes,we have enough cover for him so no problem. Let’s hope it’s only him and few fringe players only.

Upson has said nothing to indicate he wishes to leave. Tomkins went to Derby on a short term loan to regain some fitness after injury. His loan period is now up so he is returning to West Ham for no other reason that that. Fringe players will be sold, Clarke has said it, Zola has said it. I expect Davenport will be the player to leave.

E1 – I reckon that’s far more likely. Upson’s hardly admitted his undying loyalty to the cause. He’s played well but has made all the wrong noises and added to the uncertainty and firesale speculation.
