Web Digest [ West Ham United ] - II 14th January 2008

Noble going for goals - WHUFC
Having become a key man with assists of late, Mark Noble wants to start
finding the net himself
14.01.2008

Mark Noble has pledged to keep plugging away in front of goal at Manchester
City on Wednesday night after continually seeing others taking the scoring
glory this season.

The homegrown midfielder made both goals for Anton Ferdinand and Matthew
Upson in the 2-1 win against Manchester United on 29 December and followed
that up against Fulham on Saturday with the decisive moment as the match
entered its final stages. Dean Ashton had already equalised when Noble,
refusing to let a wayward pass run out of play, chased the ball down before
knocking it back for Ferdinand to secure another 2-1 triumph.

"I want some of Anton's win bonus because I keep setting him up," joked
Noble to WHUTV. "That's what I want to add to my game - assists and goals.
The assists are coming, I just need to get some goals. It seems that every
time I have a shot now, it looks like it is going in until someone blocks
it. I will keep persevering and they will come soon."

As has been the story of this season with the entire squad stepping up when
needed, Noble has made the most of Scott Parker's absence to re-establish
himself. He began the campaign as first-choice in midfield, scoring from the
penalty spot back on 18 August at Birmingham City, before a hernia problem
took its toll. Fit again, firing on all cylinders and ready for the midweek
cup challenge, the England Under-21 midfielder said: "I am pleased with the
way I am playing.

"Fulham started really sharp but we finally got a foothold in the game.
Freddie [Ljungberg] put in a great cross for Deano and we really started to
play and we could have had three or four goals in that first half. The
keeper pulled off some great saves and in the second half we had two cleared
off the line - finally Anton got the win for us. It was a hard game for us
but we deserved it."

While another hard game is in store on Wednesday, Noble is also keen to push
on in the league. The Hammers go to City again on Sunday afternoon and the
20-year-old was pleased the club would make the trip secure in tenth
place."It was important that we won on Saturday. There is a six-point gap
between us and Newcastle," he said. "We can really push on and catch some
other teams up."

Defender makes Weymouth loan move - BBC

Weymouth have signed West Ham United defender Bondz Ngala on loan for the
rest of the season. The centre-back has come through the Hammers' academy
and has made a number of appearances for their reserves. Ngala made his
Weymouth debut in the goalless draw against Kidderminster in the second
round of the FA Trophy. He is the fifth player to arrive at the Wessex
Stadium this month, following David Roberts, Adam Gross, Michael Malcolm and
Wilfried Domoraud.

Hammers eye the new Yossi - KUMB
Filed: Monday, 14th January 2008
By: Matthew O'Greel

Israel's Channel Five are linking the Hammers with a move for Israeli
starlet Maor Bouzaglo. The young attacking midfielder, 20 today, is
currently on loan at Ligat ha'Al side Bnei Sakhnin from Maccabi Haifa - the
former club of both Eyal Berkovic and Yossi Benayoun, and home to former
Hammer Yaniv Katan. Bouzaglo spent time with both Juventus and Lyon as a
youth team player before returning to his native Israel in 2005 whereupon he
signed his first professional contract. He has thus far made two appearances
for the Israeli national side, making his international debut in the 2-1 win
over Russia last November that gave England brief hope of qualifying for the
European Championships. TV station Channel Five claimed last night that West
Ham have contacted Maccabi with view to a permanent deal.

No deals likely in tranzzzfer window - KUMB
Filed: Monday, 14th January 2008
By: Matthew O'Greel

A year ago a £17m transfer window spending spree went a long way towards
helping the Hammers avoid relegation. But 12 months on it is unlikely that
Alan Curbishley will be spending a single penny on new players ahead of the
end of the current window, which ends on January 31st.

That tightening of the purse strings by owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson has
been mainly attributed to United's massive losses of some £18m over the last
financial year, thanks to a 25% wage bill increase (up from £31m to £42m) -
although big contracts for new players (such as Freddie Ljungberg) have also
seen Alan Curbishley's spending power harnessed.

Whilst many supporters believe the team needs at least one striker - and
possibly another left-back plus a creative force in midfield - Curbishley
has gone to great lengths in recent days to suggest otherwise, citing the
number of players returning from injury as a reason not to extend the
payroll further (even though he has been playing the entire season thus far
with no more than two fit strikers).

Rather, it is likely that any movement in East London this January will see
players leaving the club in an attempt to arrest that extanding wage bill.
Calum Davenport, Nigel Quashie and the club's longest serving player,
Christian Dailly, all look set to move on ahead of February 1st if reports
are to be believed.

The Hammers are known to be in the market for a striker, although this is
likely to be a loan deal only - meaning that reports of the imminent arrival
of Derby's Giles Barnes, which originally surfaced last October, are wide of
the mark.

West Ham United 2 Fulham 1 - KUMB
By Gordon Thrower

Game of two halves? This was more of a game of four quarters and we weren't
all that good in all of them.
There were a few changes this week caused by the non-availability of players
such as Pantsil (African Cup Of Nations) and Neill (another flipping
injury). Thankfully there was better news on the positive side of the injury
balance sheet as the starting line-up included Ljungberg whilst the bench
contained the likes of Boa Morte, Bowyer and pre-season signing Faubert of
whom much was expected. Line up: Green, Spector, McCartney, Upson,
Ferdinand, Ljungberg, Mullins, Noble, Etherington, Ashton and Cole.

I'd like announce that the first 25 minutes or so of this match were amongst
the worst I've seen at the Boleyn. I mentioned this to the lovely girlfriend
on my return home post-match just so she realises that I'm not always out
enjoying myself. There was a strange lethargy about the place – both on and
off the pitch. This manifested itself on the pitch by the strange reluctance
of either Ferdinand or Upson to get a challenge in early on to allow Dempsey
to volley a Healey lay-off about ten yards over.

Off the pitch it was as if everyone was exhausted following a hard first
week back at work. The somewhat slapdash approach of the defence did not
bode well and on 7 minutes the worst of our fears were realised. A supposed
foul by Spector on Healey (who, as we know from past encounters, likes a
dive) was given by ref Riley. Davis curled it in and Green appeared
bamboozled firstly by the acres of space that Bocanegra had to run into, and
secondly, by the fact that Bocanegra failed to get so much of a touch on the
ball which carried straight on its way uninterrupted past Green's far too
late dive to put the visitors one up.

This was not in the script and for the next 20 minutes the most notable
thing to happen was Ljungberg's doomed bid to head a ball that was quite
happy being kicked by an opponent at the time. This resulted in Freddie
trying an ill-advised Leslie Ash impersonation – though to be fair he did
get the lips spot on. For a moment Fulham looked as if they might start to
play and Konchesky linked up well with Healey, Green thankfully being equal
to the task. The keeper's first instinct was to send Etherington on a run
down the left. Matty took on and beat two opponents – including a Baird
nutmeg – before succumbing to the team's perennial failing, that of being
unable to deliver a decent cross.

The spell of play was poor. Neither side seemed to have it in them to string
any passes together and giving the ball away was par for the course. Mullins
in particular seemed to have some aversion to passing to anyone in claret &
blue – though I suppose he may have been confused by the lack of a number on
Ljungberg's back,. The Swede had been forced into a change of kit by the
fact that he'd got a different type of claret down the front of his shirt.

So, playing poorly, and with no sight of a goal, we got a goal. And it was a
good one too. There seemed to be little on as Ljungberg received the ball
out on the Chicken Run touchline. However, once Freddie had sorted his feet
out he went past Konchesky like he was, well, Konchesky and put over a
superb cross. Ashton, with a move of anticipation that has been lacking from
his game since his return to injury, got across his marker to direct a
superb glancing header into the bottom corner. Coming as it did from the
first bit of football either side had been able to muster all afternoon, the
goal seemed out of place – as if the director had reviewed the first cut of
his film and edited in some stock footage of a really good game to make the
final cut more interesting.

The game improved no end from this point. Ferdinand got on the end of a
corner but the required save barely tested Niemi. We'd spoken pre-match
about the Finnish 'keeper's habit of playing a blinder whenever he plays
against us and so it proved once more. A clever header from Cole saw Ashton
bring Etherington into play. Matty's first low cross was low and blocked.
His second effort found Ashton who had the time and space to chest the ball
down and volley goalwards only for him to find Niemi in fine form, the
'keeper's tip onto the bar being well worth the generous applause it got
from all four sides of the ground. Damn him!

We started to play fairly well and, for once, we were actually looking to
use the flanks and both Etheringon and Ljungberg were getting involved. Cole
& Ashton were beginning to link well as well. A Cole flick on sent Ashton
wide of the goal. There didn't seem to be too much danger as Ashton
manoeuvred himself back to the corner of the box but suddenly he found the
space to send a curling effort that brought another fine save from Niemi who
tipped the goalbound shot over the bar. Damn him! The resulting corner from
Noble caused a few problems but Fulham scrambled clear.

Etheringon then went on another storming run down the left, leaving Volz
behind as if he were, well, Konchesky. Once more the final ball into the box
lacked quality and was cleared away. Then Cole should have put us into the
lead. A Spector pass took a flick off a defender and Cole was able to muscle
Hughes out of the way – not that it took much muscle to be honest. However
the forward shot straight at Niemi whose save was infinitely easier than it
ought to have been.

Well for all the fact that on clear chances we should have been 4-1 up the
close of the half saw a defensive slip that could have seen us go into the
break 2-1 down. It was as if the mythical film director had said – "this
picture needs a comedy moment here" and Ljungberg was the man to provide it.
Ten out of ten for coming back to help out the defence but minus several
million Freddie for deciding to bring the ball back into your own box
instead of putting it into the Chicken Run. Healey got the block on and the
ball ran agonisingly across the face of the goal, Ferdinand finally sorting
it out for a corner, which was comfortably dealt with for the last
meaningful action of the half.

After the welcome return of the Kit-Kats (and, more importantly the
confectioner) the second half started quietly with Noble getting away with a
bit of a petulant shove on Dempsey having shepherded a hopeful ball out for
a goal-kick. Noble then went up the other end and had a powerful, but
possibly wayward effort blocked for a corner. Noble took the corner himself
and found McCartney at the back stick but Linda's goal-bound header was
rightly ruled-out due to the Irishman's use of a defender to give him a
lift-up.

Ljungberg, being one of the lucky few to actually find a shirt of the
correct size in the club shop, had now got one with name and number on the
back, and thus no longer resembled the bloke in every Sunday pub team that
has a shirt that is almost, but not quite, totally different from those worn
by his team mates. Armed with the new shirt, he then proceeded to ensure
that as many of the Fulham left-hand side got a good view of the name and
number on the back as he went down the right flank. A clever early ball
found Ashton in between two defenders only for his hook on to drift wide,
Cole not having got far enough forward to get on the end of the shot or pass
depending on your point of view.

The pressure started to slowly build up as Cole fed Etherington whose
attempted cross was blocked for a corner. Noble's corner was cleverly nodded
towards goal by Cole only for Knochesky to clear off the line. Fulham didn't
clear properly and Etherington's lofted cross found Upson who glanced wide.

Just after the hour Boa-Morte replaced Cole who had seemed a bit out of
sorts. Fulham hadn't created much and were relying on being given the ball –
Noble being the culprit on one occasion by dwelling on the ball for a move
that saw Healey force a corner – LBM's first action being to head clear.

Such forays into opposition territory were rare for the visitors and even
when they did cross the half-way line we looked pretty dangerous on the
break. Ljungberg and Spector combined to rob Davies and Spector sent Freddie
down the line on the overlap. The cross found LBM who made enough room for
the shot which was blocked. The ball fell out to Matty whose shot was also
blocked.

Ljungberg then combined with LBM to force yet another corner. The corner was
cleared as far as Mullins whose header wide looked like it a bit too much on
it. Well it looked that way to everyone but Noble who managed to not only
keep the ball in but, in doing so, provided the perfect pull back to
Ferdinand to bury a first time effort from 12 yards out into the roof of the
net to send us 2-1 up with about 20 minutes to play. Another fine goal.

The heads were up now. Ljungberg cut inside to have another shot blocked and
each time the ball came out of the Fulham defence it went straight back in.
Clearances into the Chicken Run of the sort that Freddie had earlier failed
to use were the order of the day. A long ball from Mullins was headed back
across goal by Ljungberg where only a last-ditch tackle by Stefanovic
prevented Ashton from doubling his tally. Riley, of course, called it a
goal-kick. Bald refs called Mike. The theory holds.

Of course winning 2-1 in a game we could have been 5 or 6-1 up in always
raises the possibility that something stupid will happen. Healey was given
far too much time and space on the right and Upson was forced to clear with
Green stranded. This prompted a couple of corners, the first of which was
cleared by Mullins. The second found Dempsey whose free header fortunately
found Noble on the post to clear. Upson then gave away another free-kick for
a foul on Healey who threw himself unconvincingly to the ground with minimal
contact. Old habits die hard I suppose. Murphy's free-kick found Baird
totally unmarked in the box but thankfully the header was well over.
Etherington left with ten minutes to go to be replaced by Bowyer on his
return from injury.

LBM then got a free-kick given against him for being fouled by an opponent –
one of a number of baffling decisions by Riley. Former Hammer Bullard teed
up the shot, but, ever-thankful towards the club that gave him his football
education, he wisely elected to plant the ball into the back reaches of the
Centenary Stand.

With two minutes left on the clock Ljungberg, who had probably played his
best game in claret and blue was replaced by Faubert, both receiving
generous applause – the latter also receiving the accolade of the newly
resurrected "Julien" chant not heard since the retirement of the
similarly-named Mr Dicks.

Two minutes of stoppage were added during which Ashton had a lazy volley
from a Green clearance go wide, and Bullard had a shot blocked right at the
death. The resulting corner was the last action of a match that had started
poorly and improved into a surprisingly entertaining match. It was pleasing
to see us get through 90 minutes without seeing three players hobbling off
towards the overflow section of the physiotherapy department. It was also
good to see some of the recent casualties return to action, even if, in
Faubert's case, it was just a case of popping on to the pitch for a couple
of minutes as he was passing!

So a 2-1 win and another three points. Whisper it quietly but it would
appear that we're now only 8 points away from the magical 40-point mark
which is generally taken to be the first target for any club aspiring to
safety. That's two wins and a couple of draws. I reckon we'd have settled
for our current position this time last year – I know my blood pressure is
well down on 12 months ago. Now if we can just get a few more players back…

Freddie's cracked his back - SSN
Physio resolves midfielder's back problem
By James Dall Last updated: 14th January 2008

West Ham United's Freddie Ljungberg believes his injury woes have finally
come to an end after an appointment with a physio. The Sweden international
has endured a frustrating start to his Hammers career following his
£3million move from Arsenal last summer. A number of injuries have
restricted Ljungberg to just nine Premier League starts so far this
campaign. The 30-year-old's most recent issue has been a back problem, but
after a visit to a physio, Ljungberg is sure that his season is back on
track. "My problem was that I played so many games and my back tightened up
and wasn't dealt with straightaway," he said in the Daily Mirror "But we've
sorted it now and it should be fine. The physio cracked my back - that did
the trick." Ljungberg demonstrated his return to fitness with an excellent
display in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend It was the midfielder's
teasing cross that enabled Dean Ashton to head home West Ham's equaliser.

Captain Neill expected to feature against City - Daily Mail
Last updated at 14:02pm on 14th January 2008

West Ham skipper Lucas Neill, who missed Saturday's 2-1 win over struggling
Fulham with hamstring trouble, is expected to be fit for the Hammers' FA Cup
third-round replay against Manchester City on Wednesday. Meanwhile West
Ham's new chairman and owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson is battening down the
financial hatches in an effort to reduce the club's increased debt. The
Hammers, who made a profit of just under £4m the previous year, lost more
than £20m last season as they battled against relegation. Boss Alan
Curbishley saw his side beat Fulham 2-1 on Saturday and said: "The problem
is that, if we bring players into the club now and everyone gets fit, then
we may well end up with too many."

NEXT FIVE GAMES: Wednesday: Man City (a) (FAC R3R); Sunday: Man City (a); 30
Jan: Liverpool (h); 2 Feb: Wigan (a); 9 Feb: Birmingham (h).

Hammers chief to tighten the purse strings - Daily Mail
Last updated at 10:12am on 14th January 2008

West Ham's new chairman and owner billionaire Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson will
batten down the financial hatches in an effort to reduce the club's
increased debt. The Upton Park club, who made a profit of just under
£4million the previous year, lost more than £20m last season as they fought
desperately to avoid relegation. Then chairman Eggert Magnusson sanctioned
the signing of more than £16m worth of players in the January transfer
window and more big money signings last summer meant that the wage bill
soared to over £44m. The gamble paid off, though, and West Ham somehow
managed to avoid the relegation which could have brought the club to its
knees. Now though, Magnusson has gone and Gudmundsson, the second richest
man in Iceland after his son, is keen for the club to be more
self-financing. Despite horrendous injury problems, Curbishley has guided
the team to a comfortable mid-table position in the Premier League and with
some of those injured players ready to return, could go even higher in the
second half of the season. Curbishley has already said that, apart from a
possible lone striker signing, he will not be active in this transfer
window, although players like long-serving Christian Dailly, wanted by
Norwich, and Calum Davenport, could go. "The problem is that, if we bring
players into the club now and everyone gets fit, then we may well end up
with too many," said Curbishley. Anton Ferdinand, who scored West Ham's
winner against Fulham on Saturday, believes their London rivals can avoid
relegation. The 2-1 defeat at Upton Park means that Fulham are in dire
trouble, second-from-bottom and five points away from safety. Ferdinand who,
together with central defensive partner Matthew Upson, was on the receiving
end of Alan Curbishley's own brand of 'hairdryer' treatment at half-time
following a sloppy start, has some sympathy for Fulham. He and his West Ham
team-mates were in a similar situation a year ago but managed to pull off
the great escape. "Fulham have just got to keep battling away and keep that
heart," said Ferdinand. "When you are down there you do have a lot of
setbacks, things don't go for you, but you have to take it on the chin and
work even harder."

West Ham United Transfer Window Round-Up Week 2 - SquareFootball
Mark Carlton
14/01/2008 09:00:00.

It was mid-week before any new rumours surfaced from Upton Park. Transfer
rumours are like buses, you wait all week for one and then three come along
at once.

Not the greatest analogy really, but rumour has it that Alan Curbishley has
enquired about the availability of Nicky Shorey of Reading, El Hadji Diouf
of Bolton Wanderers and David Nugent of Portsmouth (Daily Mirror).

All these targets seem extremely doubtful with all the respective clubs
needing these players to play an important role over the next few months.
Nicolas Anelka's departure from Bolton Wanderers will hamper the Hammers
efforts to lure Diouf from the Reebok Stadium as Gary Megson will rely on
him to fill Anelka's boots.

David Nugent is in a similar situation with Portsmouth's threadbare squad
and is likely to feature heavily for Pompey during January and February with
so many players missing due to African Cup of Nations duty.

Steve Coppell is unwilling to let Nicky Shorey leave the Madjeski in the
near future. The 26-year old left back, who has made 2 senior appearances
for England is a player Coppell is keen to keep hold of.

Curbishley has apparently tried to entice the Reading manager with a swap
deal involving Bobby Zamora, a target for the Royals; however Coppell is
adamant that Shorey will not be going in the opposite direction. Zamora has
featured only 4 times for West Ham this season but has been injured for the
majority of the campaign since playing in the second round of the Carling
cup against Bristol Rovers in August.

Former Liverpool forward Djibril Cisse has also been linked with a move back
to England from French club Marseille (Daily Mirror). West Ham have been
linked with a move for him, but they will face competition for the 26-year
olds signature from Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers and Fulham. The
striker, who has scored 3 goals all season, will command a figure of around
£6.5 million.

As reported last week Robert Green may well be on his way from Upton Park,
but this week he is rumoured to not be joining Arsenal, but their north
London rivals Tottenham Hotspur (The Sun). With Paul Robinson falling out of
favour at White Hart Lane in recent games, Spurs will be looking to
strengthen in this department and Green would be available for about £6
million.

West Ham 2-1 Fulham - The Mirror
By Neil McLeman 14/01/2008

Freddie Ljungberg reckons he can finally put his back into playing for West
Ham after a physio cracked his vertebrae into shape. Due to a series of
niggling injuries, the former Arsenal star has failed to live up to his
big-money reputation since his £3million summer move to Upton Park. But the
30-year-old Swede was back to his brilliant best against Fulham as the
Hammers played the kind of attacking, passing game long associated with the
academy of football.
Operating down the right flank, Ljungberg provided the perfect cross for
Dean Ashton to level the scores after Fulham had dominated the early
exchanges.
And after the break he continued to provide the spark as Hammers
consolidated their position in the top half of the table. And with the West
Ham injury list shortening and competition for places increasing, Ljungberg
reckons he and his teammates are now showing the West Ham faithful their
true talents. "When we get the ball down we can play and we created a lot of
chances in the second half," he said. "My problem was that I played so many
games and my back tightened up and wasn't dealt with straightaway. But we've
sorted it now and it should be fine. The physio cracked my back - that did
the trick." Hammers boss Alan Curbishley has been left frustrated that
playmakers like Ljungberg have been missing from his side this season. "The
reason I brought Freddie into the club was for games like today," said the
Irons manager, whose side now sit six points ahead of Newcastle and eight in
front of Tottenham. "I needed someone who could open the games up, players
like Kieron Dyer, Craig Bellamy and Scott Parker. They are people who can
make a difference when you play at home."
Like Ljungberg, Ashton also appears to have recaptured his old form and the
England hopeful was only denied a firsthalf hat-trick by two super saves
from Antti Niemi. But West Ham also showed old habits die hard when Simon
Davies's eighth-minute free-kick curled past the unmarked Carlos Bocanegra
and into the net. "The boss had a go at half-time about that goal and the
way we started," said Hammers centre-half Anton Ferdinand. "We started
sloppy and very slow. He had a go at me and Mattie (Upson) at half-time and
it was definitely deserved."
Ferdinand made amends after the break with his 69th-minute winner from a
fine Mark Noble cut-back to follow up his winner against Manchester United
in their last home win.
