The Iceman cometh?

Plenty of transfer rumours. Looks like Eidur Gudjohnsen might finally be joining us on a free. He's 32 and was a great player - as was Benni McCarthy! - so let's hope his attitude is still there. He's a player who Allardyce knows well, so presumably he'll establish his hunger before paying big wages.

Meanwhile Carlton Cole has failed to agree terms with Stoke (has he never seen Stoke's Cultural Quarter or tried an oatcake?) after a six million fee was agreed. Turns out touchy Cole didn't like Stoke's chairman Peter Coates questioning his injury record on Sky, or so it claims in the Daily Mirror. While Scotty Parker may go to Villa or Chelsea if a seven million fee is paid...

Or not, it would now seem - he started prevaricating and Big Sam lost interest, and he's now being linked with AEK Athns, with a 2 rather than 1 year deal. Just as well, i think, he has been rubbish for at least 2 years.

Anyway, A Long Day's Journey Into Night remains the most appropriate Hammers/Gary O'Neill play...
