Big Sam on: Fulham

Sam Allardyce spoke to the press ahead of West Ham United's trip to Craven Cottage
29.01.2013

Sam Allardyce is pleased to have added to his defensive options ahead of Wednesday's Barclays Premier League meeting with London rivals Fulham.
The Hammers completed the loan signing of Wolfsburg defender Emanuel Pogatetz on Monday and Big Sam says the ex-Middlesbrough man could be in line for a quick debut at Craven Cottage. He also revealed that Andy Carroll is in contention after taking part in training this week.

Sam, could you talk us through the team news for Wednesday night?

SA: "We've signed Emanuel Pogatetz on loan from Wolfsburg and I'm pleased to have him, because we've had defensive problems - particularly as the loss of James Collins and George McCartney [to injury] leaves us short at the moment. He's an experienced defender, both in Germany and of course at Middlesbrough. It gives us a bit more opportunity in defensive terms where we are short on players at this moment in time. "We're still waiting on Andy Carroll, whether we think it's right to add him to the squad because he's only had two days training with us, in terms of joining in with the players having not played for a number of weeks. We don't know whether that'll be too risky and we'll make the choice later on Tuesday. The rest of the squad stays the same. It's quite good at the moment, and it's quite strong, and we have to play to our best to start getting some points on the board. "The biggest message is to play better than we have been away from home. We haven't been able to secure a clean sheet for an awful long time. That and the shortage of goals particularly away from home - we've got to improve all of that. "We've got the players available, we know what the players are capable of. They've proven that they can perform and they've got to get to that level of performance again. It's two massive games in terms of Wednesday and Saturday coming up. It's two massive efforts from the players [we need] to establish their position in the Barclays Premier League, and to secure the points in both the games. I'm not saying win both, we'd love to win both, but certainly to come out the back of the next two games undefeated. As always you're trying to win a football match when you start and if we can do that then that would be great. Put points on the board in both games - that's the important thing for us."

You've signed Emanuel Pogatetz. Is there a chance that he could make his debut?

SA: "He comes straight into the squad. He's said he's fully fit and ready to go. He's had a winter break as they do in Germany but he's been training every day and has been available every day for Wolfsburg. He's said he's ready to go straight in and of course he does have some experience in the Premier League. Hopefully that'll stand him in good stead when we need him."

How important are the next two games?

SA: "I think that Fulham are in a similar situation to ourselves where performances have been pretty good but results have not followed that. It's all about winning football matches and putting points on the board. We've both failed to do that, so it's a massive game from our point of view. It's a team that are below us at the moment and you don't want teams below you to catch you up and get nearer to you. "Then it's Swansea at home and we've played so well at home all season. Our performances at home have been outstanding, but recently it's been performances but not the results we should have gained. That's been hugely disappointing - too many draws have turned to losses and too many supposed wins we've ended up with draws, particularly the last one against QPR. It was a massive blow to have played that well - in my opinion the best game we've played here this season, from start to finish we battered them - and not win. That's the problem we've got, when we're so dominant we've got to win."

Harry Redknapp was quoted as describing the transfer window as 'gang warfare' between agents. What do you think?

SA: "I wouldn't use the terminology gang warfare, but I would agree that the volatility that the January market causes means that you're looking at a group of people, licenced agents, who have one month to make money, and then they don't make money any more until the end of the season. That will bring a huge and volatile market to the forefront where they will try to outdo each other and do whatever it takes to get a deal on the table for them to be the ones who benefit financially. "That's where the problem lies when it comes to who is looking after what and who represents what player. It's hugely difficult to work all that out in the first place and, yes, it causes a massive panic in and around this time of the year. Then the speculation that goes with it in the media, which is probably fuelled mostly by agents telling you that this player is going to go there, and this player might go here and so on and so forth. It's a hugely stressful window as ever and we'll all be glad when it's over."

The Big Interview - Emanuel Pogatetz
WHUFC.com
West Ham United's new No18 Emanuel Pogatetz is delighted to be back in English football
29.01.2013

He may have been playing in Germany for the past two-and-a-half years, but many English football fans will instantly recall Emanuel Pogatetz. The tall, strong Austria international defender enjoyed five seasons with Middlesbrough between 2005 and 2010, helping Boro to reach the UEFA Cup final and earning a reputation for being a whole-hearted player willing to put his body on the line for the cause. West Ham United's new No18, who has joined the club on loan from Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg, is planning to endear himself to Hammers fans with more of the same following his arrival in east London. The 31-year-old could make his debut in the Barclays Premier League fixture at Fulham on Wednesday evening and he has told whufc.com he cannot wait to start his second spell on these shores.

What is it like to come back to England with West Ham?

EP: "I am really happy to be back in England, because the English football is enjoyable and is the football I have enjoyed the most and suits me the most."

What it is about English football you like the most?

EP: "It is a fast game and that suits the way I like to play. I just try to play my best and think I can play my best football here. I also enjoyed my time in the Bundesliga, of course. I think I adapted quite quickly to that but the game I want to play again is the English Premier League. I am really happy to be back here."

What did Sam Allardyce and your new team-mates say when you met them? You already know Gary O'Neil from your time with him at Middlesbrough, of course!

EP: "Yes, I met the manager and we had a chat. He is a very experienced manager who I am looking forward to working with and working under. I had a chat with Gary. I saw him at lunch and it was good to see him again after three years. Kevin Nolan also made a point of coming up to me as captain, to say hello and welcome - it was nice of him to do that, he spoke a few words to me."

You are versatile and able to play at either centre-back or left-back, but what do you see as your best position?

EP: "Definitely at the back, a centre0half. That is why Sam Allardyce has brought me in. I can also play as a left-back if I am needed there, but think I am best as a centre-half. I think that is the main position he [Sam] has brought me in for]."

Are you fit to play immediately?

EP: "I feel I am ready to go. I am looking to play games and train with the lads. I think I am OK but it is up to the gaffer when he wants to play me. But I am ready to train and then I can see if the manager thinks I am ready. I am fit and will try to make a good impression in the training session and then hopefully I can be ready for when the manager and team needs me."

Do you have any good memories of playing against West Ham, here, during the time you have played in England?

EP: "Yes, it is quite a few years ago but what I can remember is the supporters are very passionate here and I also remember coming in on the coach, seeing the area here, it was already packed with supporters making their way to the game. So straight away, when you see all of that, you think it is going to be a tough match here not only against the team but with the fans, who will be passionate. That is what I can remember. I am looking forward to playing in front of such an atmosphere, but for the West Ham fans this time. In front of such passionate supporters who give you the extra push, drive and boost you need to play your best."

You have been out of the country for a while, but have you watched the Premier League and seen what has been going on?

EP: "Yes, of course. I have been watching it in between playing. I have stayed in contact with a few of the lads I knew at Middlesbrough. I know what is going on and know what to expect in this league. I am looking forward to and am ready for that."

Fulham v West Ham

BBC Match of the Day commentator

BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue: Craven Cottage Date: Wednesday, 30 January

TEAM NEWS

Fulham could give a debut to Emmanuel Frimpong, who has joined on loan from Arsenal for the rest of the season. Kieran Richardson is expected to return after missing Saturday's defeat at Manchester United with a calf strain.
West Ham welcome back Arsenal loanee Marouane Chamakh, who was ineligible to face his parent club in the Hammers' last match. Andy Carroll could return from a knee problem and new signing Emanuel Pogatetz has been named in the squad.

MATCH PREVIEW

The FA Cup bared its giant-killing teeth last weekend, going some way to restoring the reputation of a competition tarnished by too many boring all-Premier League encounters between not quite full-strength sides playing not quite fully committed football in front of nowhere near full houses. Thank goodness for Millwall, MK Dons, Luton, Brentford, Leeds and Oldham. That's a sentiment which might be echoed at the FA, though the marketing types at their Wembley HQ may well hope the minnows are long gone before the final - Oldham against Millwall wouldn't sell in Dubai.

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

Mark Lawrenson
Football Analyst
"West Ham will revert to a system that makes them difficult to beat but Martin Jol's Fulham side have bigger problems. They have been poor for a long time and are dropping into the category of 'easy to beat'." I have vague memories of Kevin Keegan in the 1974 FA Cup final (and David Coleman's commentary line "Newcastle were undressed!"), but West Ham against Fulham in 1975 was the first final I really watched properly. Fulham were the minnows, a second-tier team captained by former England skipper Alan Mullery. Another former England captain was the story though; Bobby Moore was playing in the white of Fulham against the claret and blue of his beloved West Ham. It was Bobby's last game at Wembley but there was to be no fairytale, with West Ham winning 2-0. But there was a famous photo - Moore and Mullery arm in arm, sweaty and smiling as West Ham celebrated with the cup in the far distance. They might have lost the game, but both those ageing warriors knew that such days would not come round for them again. Can it really be nearly 40 years ago? Both clubs fell to Manchester United in this season's FA Cup, and I doubt that this league meeting of west and east London will still be talked about in four decades time, but I suppose you never know. Neither team are exactly flying right now; in their last 10 league and cup matches Fulham have just two wins and West Ham only one. Neither can yet afford to be impervious to the scramble for points involving those below them, so a victory for either would be warmly welcomed.
There, did it - a Fulham preview without mentioning Dimitar Berbatov… Doh!

MATCH FACTS

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce says Mohamed Diame might leave
BBC.co.uk

Sam Allardyce has suggested there remains a possibility Mohamed Diame will leave the club before Thursday's transfer deadline. The 25-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move away but said last week that he was keen to stay. The West Ham boss said: "There are certain situations where, yes, we might lose the player. I hope we don't. "It can change between now and 11pm on Thursday, in the flick of a text, or an e-mail, or a phone call." Diame joined the Irons from Wigan last summer, and has made 18 appearances in the Premier League for the club. He continues to be linked with a move despite his statement that he is "very happy at the club". Allardyce admits he is as confused as anyone about the situation. "My understanding is that it is total confusion," said Allardyce ahead of Wednesday's match with Fulham. "I am sat there listening to what is going on [in the media], but deep down inside behind the scenes I speak to the chairman and where we are at the moment we are relatively comfortable regarding Mo Diame. "However, whatever Diame says to me today might change in an hour's time - if Manchester United ring up in one hour's time, he's not going to want to stay is he? "If the situation develops accordingly there is going to be the chance we lose him. We are trying to keep him. "It is hugely stressful window as ever and we will all be glad when it's over."

Allardyce also revealed that the club had missed out on signing left-back Stephen Warnock from Aston Villa. He said: "Stephen we thought was a goer yesterday, but we had another club in the Championship [reported to be Leeds] make him a longer-term offer, which he has accepted. "Ours was more a short-term offer with a view to a further and longer deal, but at the end of the day he chose the more secure one. "That was a lot of hard work which went to waste yet again. You constantly waste your time because 99% of the time you don't get what you want."

Mo says no but will he go?

David Gold has revealed that the club's revised contract offer to Mo Diame has been withdrawn. The Senegalese international had been offered a 20 per cent wage increase that would have boosted his weekly wage from £40,000 to £50,000 - on condition that the existing minimum fee release clause be removed.
However Diame, who has been linked with a string of clubs since the transfer window opened at the beginning of the month as a result of the £3.5million buyout clause, has failed to put pen to paper. West Ham United's co-chairman told sportsdirectnews.com: "There has been no inquiry from anywhere. That's not to say there won't be but it would have been fair to have expected something by now if there was anything happening. "Never rule anything out and it is possible to do a deal in 24 hours but in the meantime all new contract talks have ended and the offer withdrawn."

Diame, who is set to start for West Ham against Fulham at Craven Cottage tomorrow night now faces the choice of remaining at West Ham for the foreseeable future or negotiating a move away from the club prior to Thursday night's 11pm transfer deadline.

Allardyce admits defeat in left-back chase
KUMb.com

By: Staff Writer

Sam Allardyce has resigned himself to losing out on Aston Villa's Stephen Warnock. The 31-year-old defender looked set to join West Ham having agreed terms at the weekend but has instead opted to hold discussions with Championship club Leeds United. Speaking this morning, Allardyce admitted that the chances of signing Warnock now looked bleak. "The player was on his way down but it appears he received a phone call from a Championship club who made him a better, long-term offer," he told reporters. Allardyce could now return to first choice target Martin Olsson, Blacburn Rovers' Swedish left back for whom United are understood to have already lodged three bids - the latest of which was reported to be worth in the region of £5million including add-ons. However the French media are suggesting that Big Sam has turned his attention to Valencia's Aly Cissokho, with a late bid for the 25-year-old being mooted. Cissokho, who is of Senegalese descent and has made one appearance for France, moved to Spain last summer in a €5 million deal.

Allardyce admits he could lose Mo Diame

West Ham midfielder Mo Diame could be making his final appearance for the club at Fulham tomorrow night. With less than 72 hours of the transfer window remaining, Diame remains at West Ham despite being linked with a string of clubs since the window opened on January 1st. And despite none of those clubs coming forward to make an official approach for the 25-year-old midfielder, Hammers boss Sam Allardyce still refuses to rule out movement - despite admitting to being utterly confused by the situation. Speaking to the press this morning ahead of tomorrow night's trip to Craven Cottage, Allardyce said: "I'm listening to what's going on but behind the scenes I've spoken to the chairman and, at the moment, we're relatively comfortable regarding Mo Diame. "[But] whatever he says to me today might change in an hour's time. If Manchester United ring up, he's not going to want to stay, is he? So it doesn't matter what he's saying now. It could change between now and 11 o'clock Thursday night in the flick of a text, or an email, or a phone call. "There are certain situations where, yes, we might lose the player. I hope we don't. But if the situation develops accordingly, there's going to be the chance we lose him. We're trying to keep him."

Diame, who is available for a paltry £3.5m having insisted on a minimum fee release clause being inserted in the contract he signed with West Ham last summer, is also understood to have snubbed a new contract offer from West Ham.

Fulham prepare to face West Ham at Craven Cottage
Last Updated: January 29, 2013 6:50pm

Fulham have the chance to overtake their visitors when they host West Ham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday. Neither team have won in the Premier League since New Year's Day with Martin Jol's side on a run of four without a win in front of their own fans. A London derby against the Hammers could be the motivation they need to kick-start their campaign and pick up that first home win since the December triumph over Newcastle. Coincidentally, Sam Allardyce's side have fond memories of the Magpies too -their November trip to Tyneside is the last time the Irons picked up three points on the road. The West Ham boss is known for targeting specific fixtures and it seems likely that an away day at the Cottage would be the sort of evening he will expect his players to end that poor run. Bolstered by a host of January arrivals, both sides will go into this clash with cause for optimism but for the losers there is still the risk of being lured into a surprise relegation battle.

West Ham striker Andy Carroll could finally return to the squad after recovering from a knee problem. The on-loan Liverpool forward has been missing since November but could make the bench at Craven Cottage. New arrival Emanuel Pogatetz will go straight into the squad but George McCartney (knee), James Collins (hamstring) and Dan Potts (concussion) are all missing.

Opta Facts:

Fulham have won just two of their previous 17 Premier League matches against West Ham (W2 D5 L10), with one of those victories being in their first ever PL meeting.
Carlton Cole has scored in each of his last five Premier League starts against Fulham, netting six goals in total.
No goalkeeper has been forced into making more saves than Jussi Jaaskelainen (91).
Dimitar Berbatov netted five goals in his first seven Premier League appearances for Fulham (goal every 117 mins), but has scored only two in his subsequent 12 PL games (goal every 540 mins).

West Ham's Mohamed Diame could leave, says Sam Allardyce
Last Updated: January 29, 2013 3:02pm

The future of Mohamed Diame at West Ham United remains unclear after manager Sam Allardyce confessed there is 'total confusion' regarding the midfielder.
Arsenal and Aston Villa are both interested in the 25-year-old Senegal international, who was only signed last summer but has a £3.5million release clause in his contract at Upton Park. There has yet to be a bid for Diame, according to Allardyce, but that situation is subject to change ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline. "My understanding is that it's total confusion," said Allardyce in the build-up to Wednesday's Premier League London derby at Fulham. "I'm as confused as anyone by what's happening. "I'm sat there listening to what's going on but, deep down inside, behind the scenes, I speak to the chairman and, where we are at the moment, we're relatively comfortable regarding Mo Diame." But Allardyce added: "Whatever he says to me today might change in an hour's time. Whatever he says now, if Manchester Unitedring up in one hour's time, he's not going to want to stay, is he? "So it doesn't matter what he's saying now. It could change between now and 11 o'clock Thursday night in the flick of a text, or an email, or a phone call. "There are certain situations where, yes, we might lose the player. I hope we don't. But if the situation develops accordingly, there's going to be the chance we lose him. We're trying to keep him." Carlton Cole is another player who Allardyce does not expect to leave West Ham but there has been interest from Turkish club Kasimpasa. The striker has just six months left on his contract and could be behind loan signings Andy Carroll and Marouane Chamakh in Allardyce's plans.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce expects Mohamed Diame passion at Fulham
Last Updated: January 29, 2013 11:39pm

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce expects Mohamed Diame to be fully committed if he plays against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old midfielder only joined the Hammers last summer from Wigan, but he has a £3.5million release clause in his contract and has been linked with a move to Arsenal. Diame insisted last week that he was "happy" at Upton Park but the speculation over his future continues and Allardyce admits the situation amounts to "total confusion".

But he said: "Diame is a professional. He is paid to play for West Ham United. I expect everyone to put the shirt on and play with a passion, with the ability and desire that they have got. "He has had a long spell off with a hamstring injury and is only finding his feet again. My plan is that I am playing him because I hope and I believe he is going to be here after Thursday."

West Ham have recorded just one Premier League win in the last eight, and were thumped 5-1 at Arsenal last time. Allardyce added: "We aren't comfortable by any stretch of the imagination, based on recent results. "It is not good enough and the players' responsibility is to get more points on the board, starting Wednesday, to produce a result from the game and see if we can move on from there."

Transfer News: West Ham considering January bid for Razvan Rat
By Pete O'Rourke. Last Updated: January 29, 2013 11:06pm

Sky Sports understands West Ham are eyeing a move for Shakhtar Donetsk left-back Razvan Rat. Rat is out of contract in the summer and with the 31-year-old unlikely to agree a new deal at Shakhtar, the Ukrainian club are keen to secure a fee in January. The Hammers have already brought in Emmanuel Pogatetz on loan until the end of the season and the Austrian is capable of operating at left-back. But Sam Allardyce could still be forced into a cut-price offer with several other Premier League clubs tracking the player this week. The Romania international has vast experience having won league titles in his homeland as well as with Shakhtar and was part of the team that won the UEFA Cup in 2009.

Big Sam's SOS for Carroll
By ANDREW DILLON
Last Updated: 30th January 2013
The Sun

SAM ALLARDYCE is ready to risk Andy Carroll tonight in a desperate bid to stay out of the relegation battle. On-loan striker Carroll has not played for two months because of a knee injury but West Ham's freefall down the table calls for desperate measures. The match at Fulham is a must-win for both teams with the Hammers just two points above the Cottagers and eight points clear of the drop zone. Boss Allardyce said: "Andy is fit in that he has cleared from the injury and he is in training. "But we will have to assess whether he is going to be in the squad at such an early stage. "He has had no competitive football and only two days' training with the squad. "We aren't comfortable by any stretch of the imagination — our recent results suggest we are anything but comfortable. "We have played seven games and taken five points. It's not enough, and the players' responsibility is to get more points on the board." Carroll has yet to ignite in his £92,000-a-week spell at West Ham. He has scored only once — a consolation effort in a 3-1 defeat at Tottenham. But even a limping Carroll warming the bench would lift the fans and boost West Ham's attack.
WEST HAM (likely): Jaaskelainen, Demel, Reid, Tomkins, Pogatetz, Nolan, Noble, Diame, Vaz Te, J Cole, C Cole.

Come in Andy! Off-form West Ham set to throw Carroll into 'doom derby'
The Mirror
29 Jan 2013 22:30
By Mike Walters

Twitchy Sam Allardyce is ready to gamble on Andy Carroll against Fulham in a desperate bid to pull West Ham out of their nosedive. Hammers boss Allardyce has presided over a wretched run of just five points from a possible 24, culminating in a 7am inquest with his squad just hours after last week's 5-1 drubbing at Arsenal. Big Sam has also missed out on transfer target Stephen Warnock, after the former England defender snubbed the Hammers to join Championship mid-table side Leeds. And Allardyce faces a battle to keep dynamic midfielder Mohamed Diame beyond Thursday night's transfer deadline, with Arsenal ready to spring the £3.5million release clause in his contract. Carroll, who has been out since November 28 with a knee injury, is likely to be on the bench at Craven Cottage on Wednesday in what has becomes a doom derby, where the losers will be sucked into the relegation dogfight.

The £35m England centre-forward, who is on a season-long loan from Liverpool, terrorised Fulham when he made his Hammers debut in the reverse fixture at Upton Park. Allardyce said: "Andy is fit, in terms of being injury-free, and he is training with the first team players again. "We have to assess whether to put him straight in the side at such an early stage having had no competitive football for two months and only two days' training with the squad. "But we aren't comfortable, in terms of where we are in the table, by any stretch of the imagination - our recent results would suggest we are anything but comfortable.
"We have taken only five points from our last seven games, which is not good enough, and the players' responsibility to get more points on the board, starting at Fulham. "Generally, we have always had a good reaction after losing a game - I just hope it is the same at Craven Cottage and the players reach the level we know they can."

Allardyce admitted he could lose Senegal international Diame, saying: "It's total confusion. I hope we don't, but we might lose him. "It's the worst month of the year because of the volatility of the market and speculation on a daily basis about what is happening to your players. "For those of us teetering on the brink of the relegation zone, it creates a wave of emotion that is very difficult to deal with. "Diame is a professional, he's paid to play for West Ham United and I expect everyone to put the shirt on and play with passion, ability and desire. "He has had a long spell off with a hamstring injury and is only finding his feet again. My plan is that I'm playing him because I hope and believe he's going to be here after Thursday. "I've re-sold the club to him a million times already, but at the end of the day it will be money talking - and when money talks in football, there's no stopping it. "People (agents) are trying to earn their living in one month because it's the only month they have a chance to earn it."
