Must admit I think it's a good move for him... more money, decent chance of getting a run in the side compared to some teams he could join, in the Prem, won't have to move away from his mates etc...
It's a step up whether we like it or not.
The issue I have remains the way in which he left but I think West Ham would be an infinitely smarter move from him than Chelsea or Man City or.... *cough* hahaha *snort.... Barcelona (like that was ever going to happen!)
His ambition to go to a prem side I can understand, what I didn't was how much he was hyped, perhaps this supposed underwhelming decision to go to The Hammers shows that all the top sides weren't fighting over him like we thought he was?
I wouldn't mind if he went to West Ham. At least he'd get games there. He might get neck ache watching the ball fly over his head for 90 minutes though.
The West Ham tweet was only one person so hardly reliable. West Ham would probably be a decent move for him as he would play. But he's gone now so let's move on, unless he does a U-turn and signs a contract with us
I thought West Ham had the best academy in the world. Why would they need one of ours?
They'll put him in their Academy and in three years time when he looks really good he will suddenly become a 'Another product of the West Ham Academy!' A bit like Defoe.
I, really, don't care now, he's gone and where he turns up will make little difference to me. However, if he does go to West Ham then that will make some of my earlier comments look a little unfair. If he goes there I fully expect him to get games and I expect him to develop into a better player. It would be difficult to criticise him if he does go there and plays twenty Premier League games next season.
...he could have gone elsewhere for more money and it shows he wants to play rather than earn.
Says who, is there any actual proof? not digging you out, just making an example of what you said ;O)
I believe everything I read in the papers me, I just think he would have had other offers.
Good thing about Wet Spam is they will help teach him much more, Big Sam can teach him how to chew gum in repulsive manner and how to have very little dignity.
I specifically meant was there better offers than West 'Am, not better than what we offered-maybe after all that was the best offer he was, er, offered! Perhaps Chelsea and Arsenal weren't beating down his door? How we'd laugh if we ended up playing WHU in a couple of seasons, especially if it's from them coming down.
I actually meant I always believed he would end up at Chelsea, even before the rumours started and I do think they approached him. No proof at all, I am and never will claim to be ITK.

Somebody mentioned that considering who he supports (chelsea) it IRONic the team he is joining
If he goes to a big club, he is a bench warming greedy fecker.
When he came into the team he played for himself and not the team.
He has shit hair, is a liar, should have signed another deal with us despite us not knowing what his deal was.
I'm getting the hang of this

Diego is now following @whustuff lol... I wonder what this could all mean.

It's the hype that irks me.
Forgive me if I have not paid sufficient attention to every last word of this thread that you consider important.
However if you could explain WTF you mean by the above remark I will do my best to answer.
It might however have been more helpful if you could have just stated why you disagreed with my remarks...
