Posts Tagged ‘Boots’

I had to write this post, to share with you what i found to be one the most hilarious articles i have read today.

The article was written by Tom Williams at Eurosport, it states about Dean Ashton and Anton Ferdinand the following:

West Ham have vowed to turn down a quite clearly invented £18m bid for Dean Ashton from Spurs .

The Ashton rumour prompted Hammers chief executive Scott Duxbury to completely lose all sense of perspective by claiming

“Hell would have to freeze over for us to sell Dean to a major rival”,

overlooking the fact that West Ham’s major rivals this season are likely to be West Brom, Hull and Stoke.

We close with a quote from Anton Ferdinand, rejecting transfer speculation linking him with a move away from West Ham:

“I’m sure if you asked the fans about me when they see me playing, I don’t look like I’m thinking about other things, other than playing for West Ham.”

Having watched a fair few Hammers matches last season, TT would actually argue that playing for West Ham is often quite literally the last thing that appears to be on Ferdinand’s mind.

Ok, so the guy probably supports Spurs and it must hurt when Juande Ramos is searching high and low for another striker good enough to fill Robbie Keane’s boots, but is getting turned down left, right and centre.

This morning it was reported that Spartak Moscow striker Roman Pavlyuchenko would only consider a move to Arsenal or Chelsea if he came to London, and now Atletico’s Diego Forlan has said no, but more politely.

I will be interested in reading his articles in June 2009 when Tottenham finish in 7th place just behind us Hammers again.
