Goalkeeper Deniz Mehmet has been included in the Turkey U18 squad for two meetings with Estonia
29.06.2010
West Ham United Academy goalkeeper Deniz Mehmet has been included in the Turkey Under-18 squad for a friendly double-header with Estonia next month.
Mehmet will join up with his international team-mates in Istanbul ahead of the fixtures, which will take place at the Ozel 2 Mac stadium on Tuesday 13 July and Thursday 15 July. The 17-year-old's call-up is the latest step in what has already been a successful international career for the London-based stopper. Mehmet, who has a Turkish father, was part of his nation's squad at the 2009 UEFA European U17 Championship finals, keeping a clean sheet as Turkey defeated England 1-0 in the group stage. Later last year, the tall goalkeeper played four times as Turkey reached the quarter-finals of the FIFA U17 World Cup in Nigeria before losing to Colombia in a penalty shoot-out. At club level, Mehmet is one of a host of promising young goalkeepers at West Ham, making eleven FA Premier Academy League starts in 2009/10.

Alvin on Avram

Hammers great Alvin Martin has spoken about his thoughts on the new season under Avram Grant
30.06.2010
Alvin Martin is looking forward to the new Barclays Premier League season and says it is a chance to think positively for all things claret and blue. The Hammers legend is excited at the future of the team under new manager Avram Grant, with pre-season training set to start next week and the new Barclays Premier League season to follow the SBOBET Cup at the Boleyn against RC Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday 7 August. "The club have made an excellent choice in choosing Avram to be our next manager and I have high hopes for the team next season. "We move on and on to a new era at West Ham. "Avram is an excellent appointment. He has experience of working with top players, his time at Chelsea was probably under-rated. He did a terrific job, was never daunted by the size of the job and then tried to do the best he could at what must have been a very difficult time at Portsmouth with all what they had going on.
"He seems to me to be a steady character, no frills but just gets on with it all and as far as I am aware, had other offers. He chose to come here, chose West Ham as the club he wants to be at and I think is a good choice for West Ham."
Martin, now working as a football analyst for talkSPORT, believed the experience of last season when the team did not reach the heights it wanted, will stand them in good stead and said the stability of the club top and bottom will also help towards a rosier future. "The structure now is healthier, I am sure the owners will say there is still a lot to be done, but it is more sound now and that is a great thing for the supporters to hear. "We can start to look to build and go on, the traditions of the club are all part of this and hopefully we can enjoy a more tranquil time now."
The former West Ham captain said there was plenty of quality in the squad and together with a few new fresh faces like Germany midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger, saw no reason why the team could not enjoy a solid and positive season ahead. "We have very good players here already, young players in the first team as well as those still coming through. We have made one new signing already and I know the club are working hard to bring in others to add to what we have here already. "The players that were here last season will learn from last season but will also be looking to start from a clean slate under the new manager. Everyone will be wanting to get a good solid campaign in the league, with hopefully maybe a nice little cup run alongside that. "Whatever, they don't want to go through some of the experiences from last season again, but at the same time, it will stand them in good stead. Whether players have had a break all summer or have been in the World Cup, once it starts getting near, they will all be raring to go again for the new season. "The fans again can play their part and really get behind the team as that is important, but I am very optimistic for the new season for my old club."

Lee delighted to sign
WHUFC.com
Olly Lee is targeting a first-team place after signing a new contract with West Ham United
30.06.2010
Olly Lee is ready to impress manager Avram Grant after signing a new contract with West Ham United. The midfielder saw his first year as a professional ruined by illness and injury, being laid low with a draining bout of glandular fever and suffering a troublesome leg injury. Lee returned to action in fine style, scoring a fantastic long-range goal in the 3-2 Barclays Premier Reserve League South victory over Fulham at the Boleyn Ground before impressing in Academy Director Tony Carr's Testimonial match in May. Now, with the start of pre-season training less than a week away, the 18-year-old is ready to make up for lost time by impressing new manager Grant. "The summer has been really good," said Lee, who has noticeably bulked up since the end of the previous campaign. "I've worked really hard to get my fitness up so I hope this season will be a big season for me. "I had a holiday and relaxed for a bit, but ever since then I've been training most days and working as hard as I can to make this season my season. "I've been doing a bit of everything. We've been given a fitness programme so I've been following that and also doing my own little bits. I know what I've got to do to get my body how it should be. "I'm trying to put a bit of muscle on and get a bit stronger because I've got to be strong enough to compete with everyone else."
The midfielder, who turns 19 on 11 July, is aware he faces a battle to force his way into Grant's plans, with the likes of Hammer of th Year Scott Parker, new signing Thomas Hitzlsperger, Mark Noble, Radoslav Kovac, Jack Collison, Valon Behrami and Luis Boa Morte competing for a spot in the West Ham engine room. Despite the competition for places, the teenager, who describes himself as "a midfielder who gets about, can pass the ball and hopefully score a few goals", is up for the challenge. "There are a lot of players in my position, but I see the situation that they are there are the moment, but I'm going to push them out of the way and get there myself. I've got time ahead of me and I aspire to be better than them."
When asked what he hopes to achieve over the coming 12 months, Lee has twin aims - the first is to stay fit, while the second is to continue the development that began when he joined West Ham at the age of 14. "Hopefully I can steer clear of illness and injury for starters! Hopefully, if I can do that and I'm in and around the first team, then I can push on here. If not, I'll look to go out on loan and go from there. I'm very open-minded and positive towards everything this season. "The new manager coming in could be good for me because he doesn't know anything about me. If I can impress in pre-season, then who knows what could happen?"

Former West Ham star Calum Davenport 'butted' sister
BBC.co.uk
10:13 GMT, Tuesday, 29 June 2010 11:13 UK
Footballer Calum Davenport denies attacking his sister A Premiership footballer attacked his pregnant sister after turning up drunk at her Bedfordshire home in the middle of the night, a court has heard. Former West Ham defender Calum Davenport, 27, of Moors View, Greenfield, called her a "whore" before headbutting her, Luton Crown Court was told. Her boyfriend then tracked down Mr Davenport and stabbed him. Mr Davenport denies causing actual bodily harm to his sister Cara, 29. Prosecutor Beverley Cripps said Mr Davenport's sister Cara was asleep in the house along with her four-year-old son Calum Junior when Mr Davenport and his father woke her up at 0200 BST on 22 August last year. "He went there when he was drunk and his father was also drunk. "They started putting questions to her. Unfortunately the questions were made in terms that were very abusive. "Cara's son Calum Junior is mixed race and his father is unfortunately in jail. "The father of the child she was carrying is also a mixed race gentleman."
The prosecutor said Mr Davenport called his sister a "whore" and made abusive comments. In the porch, Mr Davenport is said to have pushed his sister in the face so she fell back onto the stairs. He started to headbutt her and in the struggle bit her cheek. She managed to escape from her brother and contacted her boyfriend Worrell Whitehurst. He tracked the player to Mr Davenport's mother's house and stabbed him repeatedly in the leg, nearly ending his career. Whitehurst has pleaded guilty to a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on Calum Davenport and causing actual bodily harm to his mother Kim Stupple, who had tried to get in between them.
The trial continues.

Attack accused footballer was 'defending father'

Footballer Calum Davenport denies attacking his sister A footballer who attacked his pregnant sister was trying to protect his father, a court has heard. Former West Ham player Calum Davenport is accused of attacking his sister Cara after she fell pregnant again by a different man, Luton Crown Court heard. Mr Davenport called the mother-of-one a "form of cancer" in a row over how she was going to support the child, the court was told. Mr Davenport denies causing actual bodily harm to Miss Davenport. The court was told Mr Davenport, of Greenfields, Bedford, headbutted his 28-year-old sister five or six times before biting her cheek during the attack at her home in Collie Road, Bedford, in the early hours of 22 August last year.
Mr Davenport said he was acting in self-defence and had stepped in after his sister, who was seven weeks pregnant, started punching his father Curtis. He told police he had drunk eight pints of lager over six hours following a golf competition before going with his father to his sister's home. They drank tea before an argument began over how she was going to pay for her second child. The court heard Mr Davenport told officers: "My dad put the question to her, 'Are you sure this is what you want because this is it?' "As he said that to her she went for my dad and started hitting him around the face. That's why I got in between and grabbed her wrists. "We fell over and smashed heads. She was going mental at this point and I put my head to her head and we collided heads on two or three occasions. "I did see my sister had bruises to her face which I apologise for."
Pc Vito Napoli told the court Miss Davenport had claimed in a statement following the incident that her brother had racially abused her, something she later denied in court. She said that when Mr Davenport and his father arrived at her house demanding a beer, a row erupted over how she was going to pay for her second child. The court heard the former England under-21 footballer regularly paid for her four-year-old son Calum Junior's clothes, holidays and also helped her with rent. Miss Davenport said she went to push her father away from the house, but her brother intervened, bundling her back into the house against the stairs. After repeatedly head-butting her, he grabbed her by the hair and battered her head against a wall as her son shouted "get off my mummy, get off my mummy", the court heard. The case continues.

Transfer latest: 29 June

West Ham are being linked with a move for teenage striking sensation Neymar da Silva. The 18-year-old striker - who scored FIVE goals for current club Santos in one game earlier this year - has been linked with a string of clubs in recent weeks but could be set to join the Hammers on a season-long loan deal, according to reports. Manchester City were reported earlier in the year to have secured first refusal on the 5'8" striker although Chelsea are now thought to be favourites to land the player on a permanent basis.
Elsewhere the Mirror are linking United with an audacious £10million move for Nice striker Loic Remy. The 23-year-old, who can also operate on the flanks and in midfield, had previously expressed a desire to join Arsenal - a team he claims to have supported as a boy - although that deal is unlikely to go through following Arsenal's capture of another former United target, Marouane Chamakh.
Also linked with a move to England, this time by The Sun, is 22-year-old Mexican Efrain Juarez. The paper claims that West Ham are 'lining up' a £6million bid - although this one should be treated with a degree of caution due to Avram Grant already having his full quota of midfielders. With regard to other targets - namely Portsmouth's Kevin-Prince Boateng and Nigerian duo Vincent Enyeama and Yakubu Ayegbeni, both of whom worked with Grant in Israel - there is no fresh news, although Boateng has been heavily linked with a move to Italy since impressing in the World Cup Finals.

The great and the good
KUMB.com
Filed: Tuesday, 29th June 2010
By: Kit Robinson
I am sure that fans of other Premier League teams feel that their clubs input into England, with regard to important players or the number of their players, is as important as West Ham's, whether its Spurs, Chelsea or Man United.
Of course we have to put up with the media portrayal of our club as the has-been minnows who believe 'we won the World Cup', rather than the fact we have continuously supplied many England squad players over the years.
It is the case though that the current England squad is full of players who West Ham fans have seen raised at our club and leave to play for other clubs. The fact is that players such as Ferdinand, Lampard, Cole, Johnson, Defoe etc are good players, but they are not great. They play a lot better with the talent around them on the pitch at club level at better clubs than West Ham and sadly the vast majority of the talent which surrounds them is foreign.
Frank Lampard for instance was a good player at West Ham but was limited by the lack of quality players around him and that is why he only scored below 10 goals a season with us. Whilst at Chelsea we see him score double that because of the players around him doing a lot of the graft in order to leave him free to get into the box to score, and so his goal tally is double what he scored with us. I am sure that Everton fans could argue the same about Wayne Rooney when he was with them and whilst with England.
A major reason why the Premier League sells so well globally is because of the interest of foreign fans watching their compatriots and national representatives playing in it, not only because of their nationality but also their skill. English fans of the Premier League view world football through the Premier League bubble. We believe we see the best of world football because we have expensive foreign players playing in it.
However, you only have to look at a team like Mexico to see that the vast majority of those players do not play in the Premier League but the overall ability of the team in passing and control (as typified by Guillermo Franco) is better than the vast majority of English players. Particularly if you consider that those basic skills are better than the majority of England squad members despite them being considered to be the cream of the English crop.
I believe that this is proven by the continually minimal number of English players playing abroad. The reason being, English players are simply nowhere near the same level of overall skill as foreign players. Real Madrid could afford the likes of Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard. They are not considered because they are overpaid in the Premier League for how good they are.
The fact is, that there are vastly more skilled players in leagues around the world, however, this top talent helps our English players in the Premier League. Take those foreign players away and surround them with other English players and they all become above average rather than the exceptional talent we believe they are week in, week out. It would be very interesting to see how well a team of solely English players would do playing a season either in England or even abroad.
You only have to look at the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish national team to see this theory in action. There are in effect, two winning teams in the SPL, Rangers and Celtic. They have a few Scottish players but the majority are foreign. Now look at their national team. It consists of second-rate players and this is slowly what is happening to England. So what can be done to halt this decline and improve the English talent?
The theory is that by having foreign players playing in the Premier League that this somehow rubs off on the up and coming kids at each club. There is an element of that being the case but then that can be counteracted by the argument that there are so many foreign players that the English players will simply not get a game. Evidence of this is the number of English players at our top clubs who are leaving so they can get regular football. I believe that Scott Parker is a good example of this. However, at the same time this also reinforces the assertion that they are simply not as good as the foreign players.
The great thing about a World Cup is that it opens our eyes to talent across the world, playing in other leagues. Sadly at this world cup it has shown very clearly that other footballers around the world are basically better than we are and certainly not how good we like to think we are. I fear though that until the Premier League bubble bursts, and considering the near demise of both West Ham and Portsmouth it looks like it is reaching bursting point, little will change.
Because of similar financial difficulties to the Premier League in Serie A in Italy, recently there has been a decline in the number of foreign players in Italy and look what happened to Italy in this world cup. It will take time but I am certain that because of the necessity in investing in Italian youth, Italy will rise again on the world stage.
Of course I am not suggesting the removal of foreign talent from the English game but for the sake of developing English talent through youth systems and making sure those players actually get to play regularly at the top level, and to counter the financial difficulties apparent in the game, a similar approach to the Italian model needs to be implemented. It will mean a drop in skill for a while but so long as the infrastructure is imposed in the same way as the German's also have and how Sir Trevor Brooking has tried to insist upon to the FA, then the level of skill will rise again but it will take time.
We have a great youth structure in the UK, West Ham obviously have their very successful academy and as a club really need to work on not only developing those players but retaining them. Obviously other clubs have great youth systems such as Man Utd and Everton and others but there does seem to be a trend, particularly from the likes of Arsenal, in raising the foreign talent from a youth level. It is time for the emphasis to be on English youth players, developing them, and spending the money saved on transfer fees to retain their services. However of course, teams like West Ham will forever have the 'I want to play Champions League football' argument to contend with.
Sullivan and Gold have already stated that our Academy is vital. It's difficult to believe how West Ham United Football Club has survived without it. In fact it wouldn't have and quite rightly Tony Carr has received his deserved MBE. But it is not just West Ham that need an academy to survive and prosper, English Football desperately needs it too.

New deal for youngster

By: Staff Writer
Young full back Jordan Brown has signed pro terms with West Ham United. The youth team captain, who plays mainly on the left side of defence becomes the fourth Academy youngster to sign a professional contract this summer as the club looks to bring through the next batch of youngsters. Talking to whufc.com following the signing of his new contract, Benfleet-born Brown - the cousin of Sunderland winger Kieron Richardson - said: "It hasn't really sunk in yet, but it's the best news I've heard. This is what I've always wanted to do. I've been confident the whole way through and have always worked hard to pursue my dream. I've seen loads of boys come and go, some of whom were really good players, so to come through is something special."
Brown - who first joined the Hammers aged eight - joins trio Cristian Montano, Callum McNaughton and Ahmed Abdulla, all of whom have (or will in Abdulla's case) signed their first pro contract this close season.

Pumas - No bids for Juarez
Mexican club confirm West Ham have not made offer for full-back
By Patricio Figueroa Last updated: 29th June 2010
SSN
Pumas have denied that West Ham have made a bid for Mexico international defender Efrain Juarez. Juarez and team-mate Pablo Barrera have both impressed during the World Cup finals and have been linked with moves away from the Mexican club. Lazio have made a move for winger Barrera, while West Ham have been strongly linked with a swoop for full-back Juarez. "We know that during a World Cup many teams eye players and ask about them, but we have to stay calm because sometimes it's only that," Pumas sports director Mario Trejo said. "We will only consider anything if they have a real interest once they send us an offer. "
Trejo confirmed Lazio's interest, admitting: "We have received a fax in our offices sent by Lazio in which they asked us about the situation of Pablo Barrera and if there were any chances of starting a negotiation. "Our president has answered that Pumas accepts to talk about negotiations so it is supposed that in the next hours they should send us an offer."
And on the interest in Juarez, he added: "The same happens with Efarin Juarez. We haven't received any offer but his agent has said to us that some teams have approached him asking about the player but they haven't sent anything to us for the moment."

West Ham legend Steve Potts confident Avram Grant can improve the Hammers
Israeli joined West Ham from Portsmouth earlier this month...

Former West Ham defender Steve Potts believes new manager Avram Grant can bring the glory days back to Upton Park following consecutive seasons staving off the threat of relegation. Grant joined West Ham in early June having left relegated side Portsmouth and the former Chelsea boss is seen by Hammers legend Potts as experienced enough to lead West Ham in a positive direction domestically. "Avram Grant has had some big jobs, " Potts told West Ham's official website. "There is a lot of experience there and hopefully he can turn the club round. "There are people in place to put it right. "It is Avram's job to sort out the playing side and hopefully they can move on and do better than last year." Potts spent over 17 years playing for West Ham, making 399 league appearances and scoring just one goal in a 7-1 demolition of Hull City in 1990.

Brazil goalkeeper Doni tipped for West Ham as Roma look to take Valon Behrami in exchange
Daily Mail
Last updated at 4:37 PM on 29th June 2010
Roma have joined the race to sign West Ham United wide man Valon Behrami. Reports in Italy suggest the 25-year-old former Lazio player is keen on a return to the 'Eternal City', but the two clubs are thought to be some way apart in how they value Behrami. West Ham are prepared to listen to bids for the Switzerland international, which has also alerted Palermo, and a £8.5million fee has been mooted. However, Roma are reluctant to even match the £5m that the Hammers paid Genoa for Behrami five years ago and the Serie A side would rather take him on an initial loan. A compromise could be to offer Brazil goalkeeper Doni in part-exchange. The 30-year-old has fallen out of favour at the Olympic Stadium and has previously been offered to Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham. However, the West Ham hierarchy's hopes of selling off current No 1 Robert Green for a bumper fee have been hit by the England international's World Cup to forget.

Remy rejects Hammers in favour of Arsenal move
Sport.co.uk
Author: Nigel Brown
Posted on:29 June 2010 - 10:19
Nice have reportedly rejected an offer from West Ham for forward Loic Remy, with the striker issuing a come and get me plea to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. Remy, dubbed the "New Henry" is a confirmed target of Arsenal boss Wenger and is on the Frenchman's summer shortlist, however the new Hammer's boss Avram Grant is eager to sign the highly rated forward to spearhead his new Boleyn Ground attack.
The 23-year-old French attacker has scored 14 goals in 34 Ligue 1 appearances this term and hopes that his exploits have been enough to turn the head of Europe's elite, as Gunner's boss Arsene Wenger and Hammer's gaffer Avram Grant weigh up their respective summer transfer window options. Arsenal boss Wenger has had Remy watched on a number of occasions by Chief French Scout Gilles Grimandi, with the scout admitting publicly that Remy has the potential to be an Arsenal player. The former Arsenal utility man said in January: "He has one of the greatest potentials in France and perhaps even in Europe over the next five years. But we are looking for a player who will enhance our strength very quickly because we lack this." According to the French press West Ham are preparing a bid in the region of £8 million, with Grant hoping to clinch the striker's signature with Wenger having swooped for the Bosman signing of Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh.
According to the French press Remy is not interested in a move to West Ham, and is only interested in leaving Nice for a move to the Emirates, with the player stating on a number of occasions his admiration for Wenger and his eagerness to follow in the footsteps of Gunner's legend Thierry Henry. While interest from West Ham and Avram Grant intensifies Remy has voiced officially that his preferred destination is the Emirates stadium. In May Remy issued an open come and get me plea to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "Arsenal are the club I want to join. I won't deny they are my priority. Arsenal are a young, ambitious side and I love to watch them play," he recently told RMC. "It is the ideal place for me. I spoke with Thierry [Henry] about them and asked him lots of questions about life there. "That is because I have been an Arsenal fan since I was little. I was not disappointed with what he told me."
It is unknown whether Arsenal have formally contacted the club, however Arsene Wenger did hint earlier this summer following the arrival of Marouane Chamakh that he was only looking to strengthen defensively at the Emirates stadium.

Behrami wants to join Roma Tuesday 29 June, 2010
Football-italia.net
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
West Ham United's former Lazio full-back Valon Behrami is keen to return to Italy and join Roma this summer. The Swiss international is up for sale and Roma are in the market for a defender after selling their remaining stake in Marco Motta to Udinese. Il Corriere dello Sport understands that Behrami has told his agent he would like a move to Roma even though it will almost certainly inflame Lazio's supporters. West Ham have set an asking price believed to be around €6m for Behrami and his ordinary World Cup campaign means his value is unlikely to have increased. Roma's No 1 priority this summer is to sign Nicolas Burdisso on a permanent basis from Inter, but first they will have to sell someone, most likely Julio Baptista. The same goes for Behrami who is just one among several candidates for Roma's backline.

Former England goalkeeper Richard Wright to snub West Ham United & join Crystal Palace - report

Former England and Ipswich Town goalkeeper Richard Wright is believed to be on the verge of rejecting a chance to join West Ham United, and will instead reunite with his former boss George Burley at Crystal Palace. The 32-year-old shot-stopper was previously reported to be a target for the Hammers, who were thought to be on the lookout for a back-up to current first-choice 'keeper Robert Green. But The Daily Mail reports that Wright - who has also had spells at Arsenal and Everton - is set to give the Hammers the cold shoulder and walk into Selhurst Park instead. It is believed that the arrival of the namesake of one of the the founding members of Pink Floyd could herald the exit of Julian Speroni to either QPR or - ironically - West Ham.
