Carroll to step up training
WHUFC.com
Andy Carroll will return to the Club's Chadwell Heath training base next
week
29.11.2013
West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce revealed that Andy Carroll will return
to the Club's Chadwell Heath base next week in the next stage of his
comeback from injury. The striker has been working with specialists in
Belgium and the Netherlands as he battles to overcome the foot injury which
has kept him out of action since the summer, but is now ready to step up his
training back in England. The manager refused to put a date on a possible
return to first team action, but was nevertheless encouraged as Carroll
edges closer to fitness. "We hope Andy will be back with us next week to
start some training," Big Sam said.
"It's tentative in our approach to it. We have to be careful - we can't get
over-anxious and push Andy too hard, we can't do anything other than what
the specialists are saying, no matter how desperate our situation may
become. "When Andy's fit, we've got to get him fit to stay fit, not fit to a
point where he may pick up another injury. "We'll monitor it on a day-to-day
basis and push forward his training on a level based on how he feels. Having
not played a game sicne last May, it will take him some time to get him into
a match fitness situation."

Turgott links up with Colchester
WHUFC.com
Blair Turgott has joined Colchester United on a 28-day youth loan
28.11.2013
Blair Turgott will become the second West Ham United player to feature for
Colchester United this season after signing for the U's on a month's loan.
The winger will join fellow Hammer Elliot Lee in appearing for the U's in
2013/14 after the striker played four times, scoring once, in a recent
one-month loan spell.
Turgott could make his debut for the Sky Bet League One club when they
travel to Prenton Park to face Tranmere Rovers on Saturday. He would also be
available for matches against Notts County, Oldham Athletic and Stevenage
during loan spell with Joe Dunne's team. Turgott has been a regular for the
Development Squad this season, making nine appearances for the table-topping
Hammers and scoring once. The wideman will be met by a couple of familiar
faces on arrival at the Weston Homes Community Stadium in the shape of
former Hammers Freddie Sears and Dom Vose. He joins Dan Potts (Portsmouth),
Pelly Ruddock (Luton Town) and Jordan Spence (MK Dons) out on loan.

Pelly loaned to Luton
WHUFC.com
Pelly Ruddock is set for a loan spell with promotion-chasing Luton Town
28.11.2013
Pelly Ruddock has joined Skrill Conference Premier outfit Luton Town on loan
until 4 January. The 20-year-old, who made his first-team debut in a 2-0
Capital One Cup victory at Burnley last month, is to link up with a Hatters
side currently sitting second in the league, four points behind leaders
Cambridge United.
First up, though, John Still's Luton side travel to Staines Town on Saturday
in the Preliminary Round of the FA Trophy. Now a mainstay in the heart of
the Development Squad's back four, Ruddock signed for the Hammers from
Boreham Wood in December 2011. He joins Dan Potts (Portsmouth) and Jordan
Spence (Milton Keynes Dons) on loan at lower league clubs.

Sadlier eager for U21s return
WHUFC.com
Kieran Sadlier will be reduced to a supporting capacity after revealing he
will be out until the New Year
28.11.2013
Kieran Sadlier will be reduced to supporting the West Ham United Development
Squad from the stands on Friday night as they return to Barclays Under-21
Premier League action against Leicester City at Rush Green. It will be
exactly four weeks to the day since Nick Haycock's team were last in league
action, being held to a 3-3 draw by a last-minute Chelsea equaliser, when
they take the field against the Foxes. Despite not playing for the best part
of a month, the Development Squad retained top spot in the division but will
face Leicester without the services of left winger Sadlier. He told
whufc.com: "I went to see the physio the other week and said I was feeling
my shin a bit. We thought it was a bruise but when we the got scans
yesterday it turns out I've got medial tibia stress syndrome which is
inflammation of the bone from just over-playing basically. "That will
probably be me until after Christmas now as we've only got three or four
games but I'll be out working hard in the gym and hopefully come back
stronger after Christmas. "It's a bit of a disappointment because I was
going on a good run lately so I'm obviously very disappointed to be injured
but I'm not going to get down about it and I'll come back stronger."
The wide man has been a regular feature in the table-topping team this term
and has found the net in two of the side's last three matches including one
the last time the Hammers played at Rush Green against Norwich City back in
October. Whilst he may be unavailable for their return to league action,
Sadlier believes the squad are eager to pick up another three points on
Friday night. "Everyone's in good spirits and we all get on well with each
other, it's all good. We're top of the league and couldn't be in a better
place at the moment and we're doing well. "Everyone's buzzing for it.
Obviously with the new format of the Barclays Under-21 Premier League we
have quite a lot of rest weekends but it was a good chance for us to have a
break and now we're ready to go again.
"We obviously want to play games and we're looking forward to Friday night
and I think we can get another win."
The winger's injury will also keep him out when the team make their bow in
the inaugural Under-21 Premier League Cup when they face Bristol City at
Ashton Gate on Monday. City beat Peterborough to earn a Round of 32 tie with
the Hammers and Sadlier believes both the competition and their opposition
will serve as a good test for the squad. "It's a new one to us. I think it
will be similar to the FA Youth Cup which I played in last year. We've
played Bristol City before and I think we beat them before at youth team
level but they should be a good test. "They obviously beat Peterborough
United who last year beat Aston Villa in the Youth Cup 4-0 so it should be a
good test. "The competition is good to have and gives us something else to
look forward to. The first team have the Capital One Cup and the FA Cup and
now we've got something else to try and win and succeed in."
You can see the Development Squad take on Leicester City at Rush Green on
Friday night with the game kicking off at 7pm. Entry is free for Season
Ticket Holders with adult tickets priced at £3 and juniors £1.

Football fan arrested over anti-semitic tweets
The fan was arrested and cautioned over tweets before West Ham's match
against Tottenham Hotspur on 6 October
BBC.co.uk
A football fan has been arrested for a series of anti-semitic tweets
referring to the Holocaust and Hitler. The man, 55, posted the comments
before Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League with West Ham on 6 October, and
was arrested at his home in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, on Thursday. The
man, who used the Twitter handle @pienmashgeezer, accepted a caution. His
Twitter account, which also contained entries urging violence against
Muslims, has been suspended. Police had warned fans before the fixture not
to use the word "yid" and said supporters who did so could be committing a
crime. Traditionally Spurs have a sizable Jewish following and have been the
target of abuse from opposition fans, although fans of the club use the term
themselves. Prime Minister David Cameron said in September that Spurs fans
who chanted the word should not be prosecuted. West Ham told supporters that
anyone caught behaving in a racist, anti-semitic or homophobic way would be
punished to the full extent of the law. The fan's arrest came after Home
Secretary Theresa May said on Wednesday night that concerns about
anti-semitism in the UK must be addressed.

West Ham have been linked with a January move for former Blackburn centre
half Christopher Samba. The 29-year-old Russian-based defender, who is
thought to be keen on a return to England is said to be interesting both
West Ham and Newcastle ahead of the forthcoming transfer window which
re-opens in less than five weeks. Samba, who spent a miserable season back
in London last year under Harry Redknapp at relegated Queens Park Rangers is
currently contracted to Dynamo Moscow, who he joined from Anzhi Makhachkala
at the start of the season. However reports from Russia suggest the
Congolese international is unhappy at Dynamo, for whom he has appeared just
twice, and looking to make a return to the UK as soon as possible.

Joe Cole has scotched reports that he is looking to leave West Ham following
rumours of a bust-up with Sam Allardyce. Unsubstantiated gossip suggesting
that Cole had expressed a desire to leave the club is wide of the mark,
according to the player himself. Rumours began to spread after Cole was
hauled off before half time in last weekend's 3-0 defeat against Chelsea. It
was further claimed that Cole felt both embarrassed and humiliated by
Allardyce's decision However Cole insists that any negative feelings were
simply the result of frustration, rather than anything more sinister. "I
was as frustrated as anyone after Saturday's game with Chelsea but my only
focus at the moment is on getting my head down, working hard and helping the

I understand that Andy Carroll will be returning to the UK in the next few
days. Andy who has been rehabilitating in Belgium and Holland following the
foot injury which has kept him out all season is likely to start light
training at Chadwell health within days. Ridiculous rumours have been
circulating around social media suggesting he was out for the rest of the
season and some claimed he would never play football again. I'd expect the
club will soon go in to over drive to show pictures of Andy on the training
ground running around but I also understand that he won't be rushed back in
the first team. He will need a mini pre-season and I'd expect to see him as
a regular in the U21 Development games for some time before we see him on

West Ham Till I Die
One of the many quotes that Barry Hearn has rattled out to the press as a
head line and a sound bite is the distance of Leyton Orient stadium from the
Olympic Stadium
Quotes from Barry on the BBC such as "We are 750 yards away trying to
compete with Premiership football" have been frequent in the press.
I asked Barry Hearn Why do you continuously state inaccuracies about how far
your stadium is to the Olympic Stadium? As the crow flies it is 1.5miles,
not 750 yards!
BH "I am spinning the press what do you want me to do?"
You said that in your House of Lords evidence too
BH "I said 750 yards to entrance to the Olympic Park"
No the Official House of Lords transcript says you said "My front door is
750 yards from the Olympic Stadium"
BH "If I said that, it's wrong I put my hands up, Generally speaking I am
truthful though"
It really riles West Ham fans up when no-one corrects you and the press just
print these inaccuracies.
BH "It would rile West Ham fans up, It don't matter it riles them up because
we are playing a game here, this is like a game of football and we are well
into extra time and the referee is looking at this watch, but you have to
understand it's a game, this is not personal"
BH "I know it grates West Ham fans, I know and I don't care, I'am glad it
grates them because I am saying F****g listen to me"

West Ham have Andre-Pierre Gignac on transfer hit-list as they try to end
goal drought
28 Nov 2013 22:30
The Mirror
West Ham are keen on Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac. The east
Londoners have the 27-year-old France international among the TWENTY
possibles on their hit-list ahead of the January transfer window. Although
they expect to have England hitman Andy Carroll back running within days
after a foot injury that has prevented him playing at all this season, the
Hammers still want to bring in two more frontmen to boost their ailing
attack. Sam Allardyce's men have scored just once in their last FIVE League
and Cup matches. Gignac, 27, has scored six times in the French League this
season - just three less than the entire West Ham team in the Premier
League. Fulham failed with a move for the powerfully-built six-footer two
seasons ago, while Newcastle had been interested in the summer before opting
to take QPR's Loic Remy on loan. As we reported earlier this week, West Ham
are working tirelessly behind the scenes on more firepower. They have
already made a string of approaches to clubs across Europe as to the
availability of their strikers.

print these inaccuracies.
BH "It would rile West Ham fans up, It don't matter it riles them up because
we are playing a game here, this is like a game of football and we are well
into extra time and the referee is looking at this watch, but you have to
understand it's a game, this is not personal"
BH "I know it grates West Ham fans, I know and I don't care, I'am glad it
grates them because I am saying F****g listen to me"

West Ham have Andre-Pierre Gignac on transfer hit-list as they try to end
goal drought
28 Nov 2013 22:30
The Mirror
West Ham are keen on Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac. The east
Londoners have the 27-year-old France international among the TWENTY
possibles on their hit-list ahead of the January transfer window. Although
they expect to have England hitman Andy Carroll back running within days
after a foot injury that has prevented him playing at all this season, the
Hammers still want to bring in two more frontmen to boost their ailing
attack. Sam Allardyce's men have scored just once in their last FIVE League
and Cup matches. Gignac, 27, has scored six times in the French League this
season - just three less than the entire West Ham team in the Premier
League. Fulham failed with a move for the powerfully-built six-footer two
seasons ago, while Newcastle had been interested in the summer before opting
to take QPR's Loic Remy on loan. As we reported earlier this week, West Ham
are working tirelessly behind the scenes on more firepower. They have
already made a string of approaches to clubs across Europe as to the
availability of their strikers.
