		<description>Its a mistake to let matty go, i hope it is not a mistake that will come back to haunt us.
On his day down that left wing there is not  player that can get anywhere near him.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a big Ethers fan but somehow I think we&#039;ve seen the best of him and now is the right time to sell. Same goes for Bowyer.</description>

		<description>Is anybody else confused with the lopez signing?
I know I am,If LBM and Ethers goes there&#039;s no left footer left in the squad.
Lopez has had some decent reserves games,is he to be given a chance?
Or is he a mistake or just not ready?</description>

		<description>ethers was fantastic but i cant say that about him now and i do hope he does move on and rebuild his carrer he deserves to have thaty at least and it will also give u s a tiny amount of cash to have maybe to bring in michael johnson from man city which personall when he is fit i think he is amazing and selling this dead wood would be brillant for zola to bring inh a few youngsters for us to build on and have a really decent team to play with</description>

		<description>Where did all this talk of mixing it in the Champions League and Top 4 finishes come from? Let&#039;s not get ahead of ourselves here - if it ever does happen, which is unlikely, it&#039;s going to be much more than 2 years down the line. It&#039;ll take us a couple of years to start qualifying for UEFA Cup at best. Raising expectation levels unrealistically isn&#039;t a good thing to do. Don&#039;t forget that just over 3 weeks ago most commenters had us down as nailed on certs for relegation. &quot;Positivity my arse&quot; I think I remember being said.

I&#039;ll be sad to see Matty Ehterington go. I&#039;ve enjoyed watching him running defences, scoring and creating goals and chasing lost causes. I reckon Clack has just about got it right. He&#039;s electric when he&#039;s on his game - doesn&#039;t always peform for 90 minutes but has served the club well. 3.5-4M will be good business and if he does go I wish him well. Shame he couldn&#039;t keep his head on his game and off field issues have affected him. Maybe it&#039;s time for him to go but I&#039;d rather see LBM sling his hook.</description>

		<description>Josh,

Dyer plays on the Right or middle I think, unless Behrami is going to hold it on the left, Then again we dont know the replacements Zola has in mind, The left is a side where we are not strong in depth especially if Ether&#039;s and LBM go.

There has to be a replacement unless Mr Collison get handed the role!

Sky Sports News live&#039;s on hype, they have nothing better to fill the sports headlines with so why not make it up, The BBC are not much better just not as loud as Sky, The times I watch Match of the Day and that idiot Lawro makes the remark West Ham need to sell, What rubbish!!

Any one know what setanta is like, I am starting to show interest? Bring back John Barnes football night on Five, that had the facts!!</description>

		<description>Also, you will remember that there was a delay in Man U loaning Tevez.  This was because West Ham dug their heels in and asserted that he was our player based upon his 4 year contract.  The contract was all that remained after West Ham tore up the third party agreements with MSI.

West Ham gave the PL assurances that the third party agreements were not operative and that there was no continuing third party influence.  This allowed us to play Tevez in the last few matches of the season after the original tribunal.

When Man U sought to loan Tevez, the PL would not sanction the deal because they recognised the player has being contracted to West Ham.  As a contracted player, the PL expected West Ham to receive a transfer fee before the registration could be transfered to Man U.  If no fee was paid the PL indicated that they would see this as an admission that the third party agreements were still in place.  Hence, West Ham&#039;s refusal to release the registration and their ascertain that Tevez was contracted to them.  The club argued that legally this was the case because the only legal agreement was the 4 year contract between West Ham and Tevez.  Arguably, the former third party agreements were not enforceable under EU law!

The deadlock was finally broke nwhen West Ham accepted a 2m transfer fee to release Tevez from his contract.  From that point West Ham had no further contractual relationship with Tevez.  The ownership remained with MSI, as it had always been, and a new contract to loan the player was entered in to between MSI and Man U.</description>
