Really hope the paper talk that we are interested in Sheringham is paper talk only.
I feel he would be possibily the most disasterous signing we have ever made, and that has nothing to do with the fact he is 41 years old.
His heart is simply not in it anymore. We can see that by the amount of times he's been captured in the gossip columns out clubbing in the last five months. To get out of the Championship, we're going to need players with a real desire, prepared to bust a gut. Its going to be harder than everyone imagines and we're going to need players determined to score more on the pitch than they do in Funky Buddha's. We've already got a couple of those, and look where that has got us.
Sheringham was a great player, one we have tried and failed to sign in the past. Like JFH, it should of just been left at that, because when we do finally capture these targets, its always too late.

A big difference between knowing a subject and being able to transfer that knowledge cohesively and intelligently to others. You need even more desire to be a successful coach than you do a player, and you certainly have to have certain characteristics.
I'm not sure Sheringham has those. He may have the aura one day to be a figurehead with other people in the background doing all the work, but i can't see him as part of a coaching team.
imo leave well alone, and i totally agree with afka
I'd imagine the paper talk just comes from lazy journalism linking Pardew with any of his old players that West Ham may want to unload.
In a similar way that Curbs will be linked to any of his old Charlton Players that may want to jump ship.
Now who said that...?
Yeah, that's fair enough but I think 41 is a bit much really. His off the field stuff is a bit worrying and you'd have to be concerned that with a tight wage bill he'd be an extravagance we could not afford. I think De Zeeuw would be a much better older head, or even Kiely.
He's an ex-Wall WANKER. That do ya?
..................
Cause and effect...I think he and Curbs had a bust up with Curbs deciding that his days as a first team player were over and consequently he's out enjoying himself and playing the odd reserve match, and fair enough. If he were to come to Charlton I'd expect him to cut down on the nights out, but anyway at 41 he's too old, let him finish his career in the States, or even worse send him back to Millwall.
Sheringham would be a disaster of Hasselwank proportions. The fella simply isnt good enough any more, hasnt done it for 2 years.
Dont like us being linked with all these West Ham players, Jimmy Walker, jesus. Might as well have Jimmy Crankie.
Somehow Pardew has got to find us a striker that will get 25-30 goals next season, like we had with Hunt and like all the top teams in the Championship need. Harewood is capable of that. Sell the Bents and get Eastwood, Harewood, one other with Dickson as back up and we'll be bubble bathing.
Jimmy walker is a cracking keeper, albeit 4 foot tall.
Don't want to see him leave the club, rate him as our secend keeper behind rob green.
Besides he looks too much like Albert Steptoe for my liking:-)
