Teddy Sheringham signs extension
Teddy Sheringham, the West Ham 39 year old striker has signed a 1 year extension with the hammers.
The fans favourite striker, who netted 21 goals last season said to the official site “It’s fantastic to have signed for another season at West Ham United, it was a dream of mine when I arrived to help the Club get back into the Premier League and achieving that in my first season was just amazing."
After speculation from several sources that he was heading for Australia aswell as several other clubs, it'll come as a relief to many fans that he can provide goals in the Premiership.

Dailly signs new deal
Christian Dailly has signed a new contract with the hammers.
The 31 year old defender, who has been plagued by injury for most of the season, and has also had to cope with the loss of his father said the the West Ham official site "It's great to have re-signed with West Ham United, It's been a difficult season for me on and off the pitch, but all I want to do is play football for this Club and I'm delighted that I'll be able to continue to do that in the Premier League next season."
The extension is probably only for a year, but it'll be difficult for Dailly to break straight back into the team, considering the recent form toward the end of the season with the pairing of Anton Ferdinand and Elliot Ward.
Dailly has just completed two back to back games with Scotland, even scoring a goal against Moldova. This means that Dailly will be able to start the pre-season completely injury free.

Barthez joins Hammers goalkeeper race
Fabien Barthez has now joined the race to become West Hams number 1 alongside contenders Kelvin Davis and Roy Carroll.
The Frenchman looks set to join the hammers after a ban incurred when he spat at a referee during a friendly in February. The ban, enforced by the French FA, which expires at the end of the year wouldn't apply in England which has prompted the shock move.
Although Ipswich keeper Davis could have joined West Ham for a reported £1M, it now looks likely that Pardew will opt toward the two Bosman options as not to tie up unnecessary transfer fees.

Rebrov training with Kiev
So it looks like its goodbye Sergei Rebrov!
He's already our of contract and is now back at home training with his original team. Its a shame really because Sergei was the signing I got excited most about last summer, but he just failed to live up to expectations. I suppose theres plenty good reasons why Pards didn't play him up front, but the 2 games he did against Watford at home and Sunderland away, we both won. The former with Rebrov scoring the winning goal after we were 2-0 down.
Good luck Sergei, and all the best with the rest of your career.

Its silly season again!!
Well now we are up, we can expect nothing less than the obligatory silly season, that time of year when we are linked to anyone and everyone that seems to be floating about.
The most likely looking prospect at the moment is Nicky Shorey from Reading, not a bad buy and is reported to be a great fan of Pards after his time in Reading. Also tagging along it seems is the more promising Steve Sidwell, the ex-Arsenal midfielder who impressed everyone and even made the FourFourTwo top player outside the premiership, I think he looks quite a good prospect and would much prefer him to Mullins.
Other rumours that seem to be doing the rounds are Kelvin Davis (Ipswich), Heider Helguson (Watford), Roy Carrol (Man United), Ian Harte (Levante), Ray Parlour (Middlesborough), Justin Hoyte (Arsenal), Jon Stead (Blackburn), Albert Celades (Real Madrid(!!)), Grzegorz Rasiak (Derby), Shefki Kuqi (Ipswich) and more recently Carlton Cole (Aston Villa) and Lee Bowyer (Newcastle).
Thats a hell of a lot of players already, some promising ones there, also so dross to boot.
Even then I'm sure I've missed a couple off. One things for sure, its more exciting than what would have been going on had we stayed down, I'll bring more news as and when it happens!
