Our young Hornchurch lad, Freddie Sears seems to be off to the much hated Neil Warnock! Why on earth would young Sears want to play for a man thats trying to sue the man who's paying him? Especially after rejecting contracts from Peterborough and Sheffield Wednesday. Personally, I'd have loved for Freddie to have scored in the Sheffield derby to see United sink!
According to the banter running around our 19 year old striker's arrogance is his undoing, having written off 2 cars already and speeding through my estate like a nutter 80% of the time rumors are circulating as to where our promising forwards priorities lie. A fair bit of animosity at Upton Park seems to be in the air as what we all feared has happened! The "I've already made it, I'm already famous" syndrome seems to have kicked in.
We shall see exactly what Freddie is made of when he spends the season at Warnock's Championship side.
There are rumors eminating from The Boleyn ground this week about the possibility of Gianfranco Zola, copying the "30 odd" page brochure that had been made for Ex England Wonderkid Michael Owen for fan favorites Dean Ashton and Kieron Dyer! The original idea of advertising already very well know players makes you wonder what exactly the marketing team are being paid for. Please correct me if you think im wrong, but are they trying to remind everyone what Michael Owen has done?
The chapters are as follows;
World Cup 1998
Injury
Euro 2000
Injury
World Cup 2002
Injury
Move to Madrid
Failure to leave lasting impression in Madrid
Injury
Move to Newcastle
Injury.
In fact, now i think of it, with all the injuries, the brochure is probably in place simply to remind people he still exists. Which is probably what Zola is thinking for Deano and Kieron too!
Finally. Zola assures us that the signings of Inter Milan stars Mancini and Jimenez, possibly the two most overused names in west ham culture recently, are well under way. Although apparently several Champions league playing sides have tried to hijack Mancini from straight under out noses. We'll see in days to come.
Ill keep you updated on anything official ( or otherwise ;)) that i may hear.

I accept that the Michael Owen brochure is ripe taking the 'p' but I'm loathe to do it. I remember him when he first burst onto the scene for Liverpool and his wonder goal for England against Argentina. Nope, it's no good I just can't bring myself to do it. He deserves better than to be hawked around like a piece of real estate.
ReplyDeleteMy argument exactly. A brochure is something that is used to advertised whatever it may be, why would Michael Owen, a household name need to be advertised? Unless of course he's completely forgotten about due to injury!
ReplyDeletePresumably, his agent or advisors put this to him, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Self interest comes into this. As they make a % out of him, I imagine they are keen to see him continue to earn something close to the £120,000 per week that he was being paid by Newcastle. I wonder if he now regrets this decision?
ReplyDeleteA great shame that he is being reduced to this.
