Jordan Henderson £20m Jonjo Shelvey £1.7m no wonder we're skint Liverpool laughed at what they paid for him ....
That's fair enough, but you have to be fair about it, Henderson was at a Premiership club that didn't need to sell him Shelvey was at a League One club that was absolutely skint.
I still remain pretty convinced that Parky was told to 'rest' Shelvey in the second half of that season so as to make sure the move to Liverpool went through, without that cash we might have been in even deeper shite.
Look on the bright side though, the Shelvey cash helped us bring in Simon Francis, Pawel Abbott and Alan McCormack!
West Ham, typical 'big' London club who see themselves as rivals with everyone - Tottenham, Millwall, Liverpool, Chelsea, the list goes on. A lot of it down to jealousy I'm sure.

I think Parky just didn't know how to get the best out of him. He was supremely talented but so much so that he was on a different wave length from the calibre of players around him, I think a manager who has had fairly limited experience of quality both as a player and manager was never going to get the best out of him.
I am still pretty convinced he was not asked to rest him
You would know better than me, you're probably right.
It just seemed strange the way he hardly figured at all in the second half of the season, he was barely even on the bench and didn't even make the squad for the POSF with Swindon.

the deal had already happened before the swindon game, jj phoned up parky to ask what time training was, parky just told him to go on holiday.
Jonjo wanted to play in those matches But was never picked
I think Se9 pretty much hit the nail on the head
At the time I was pretty annoyed at the pure waste of an opportunity to allow Jonjo to help get us out of that shit league
And I could not understand the decision and the reason for him not having any further part in our season for no other reason than Parkinson not knowing how or where to play him
It spoke more about Parkinson and his ability to manage us than anything and it was prove to be correct
I am just very glad to see him play week in week out at the level he deserves he comes from good stock and is still the same Jonjo that left here
Shame we never got to see the best of his career but that's life football goes round in full circles and I get as much pleasure watching Solly absolutely dominate both full back positions but know that he won't be here long unless we go up and do that soon
I look forward to Azeez and silva as I do believe that In one of those two if not both we have a rare comedity of a home grown real real goal scoring forward
Was only playing smudge he couldn't post from where he was so he text and asked me to put it up it only makes sense that seeing as he is wet spam he should not have full membership privellages
My wife explained to my 6 year old son it would be the same if you were playing for Man Utd and you played against Charlton , he said well I'd make sure I didn't score I told him if you're any good you're not gonna play for anyone else , simples

I just wish we could have seen more of you.

Delighted for Jonjo with his contribution today.

Out today with family "ice " skating in Reigate with Alfie Moon in attendance so not seen any football. Looking forward to seeing the goal on MOTD 2
Well done, JJ !

2 ex west ham players score for liverpool and restrain their celebrations.
Another one ( from a die hard west ham family ) claims an OG and gives it the big one.
What's with the "goggles" celebration ?
A point against the mighty addiks probs.
