West Ham United linked with unrealistic bid for prolific forward – opinion
“David Moyes wants West Ham scouts to track Blackburn hotshot Adam Armstrong ahead of a summer bid.” Alan Nixon. The Sun. That’s probably all you need to know about this nonsense. Apparently, ‘(David) Moyes likes the 18-goal striker and considered an £8 million offer in the January window’. Maybe he was also considering ditching his wife and trading her in for a younger model. Who knows? Nixon goes on to say that the West Ham boss held off in favour of continuing his checks to see if Armstrong is worth the £10m-plus that Rovers want. SL View Where to begin with this one? Nixon – also known as the Twitter blocking machine – likes to portray himself as something of a transfer expert on Lancashire clubs. He isn’t. Let’s break this down. Moyes considered an £8 million offer for Armstrong? Good...
Report: Villas-Boas left Marseille after club decided against signing Hammers star
According to The Sun, French manager Andre Villas-Boas left Marseille after the Ligue 1 outfit decided against signing West Ham United midfielder Manuel Lanzini on loan during the January transfer window. Sportslens View The French top-flight side brought in Celtic star Olivier Ntcham instead, and the former Chelsea boss offered to resign the next day after the transfer deadline as a result.

With Morgan Sanson on his way out, Villas-Boas tried to swap the Hammers man for the club’s former star who has since joined Aston Villa. The Frenchman went back in with a late loan offer after a swap deal with West Ham fell through, but Marseille were not keen on L...

Gary Lineker and Jamie Carragher react to West Ham star’s red card
West Ham United were held to a goalless draw against Fulham in the Premier League earlier today. The Hammers will be disappointed to have come away with just a point from a game they should have won. David Moyes’ side have been in impressive form of late and the fans would have expected all three points today. While the draw is likely to disappoint the Hammers’ boss, the referee’s decision to send off Tomas Soucek in the dying moments of the game will have infuriated him. The Czech midfielder was dismissed for an elbow on Aleksandar Mitrovic. The decision seemed unfair and it will be interesting to see if it gets overturned after an appeal. Referee Mike Dean has been involved in a few questionable decisions this season and Soucek’s dismissal was another controversial call. Soucek has been ...

Manchester United have been dealt a blow as Paul Pogba limped off injured after 39 minutes of the Premier League clash with Everton.

However, in what is a congested season any absence will be keenly felt. Following the clash wi...
