Jenko up for the cup
WHUFC.com
Carl Jenkinson is looking to get back to winning ways against Everton in the
FA Cup
02.01.2015

West Ham United defender Carl Jenkinson said the Hammers must return to
winning ways when they face Everton away in the FA Cup on Tuesday 6 January.
The Hammers started the New Year with a 1-1 draw at home to West Bromwich
Albion which saw Diafra Sakho score his eighth league goal of the season
after only ten minutes when he headed home the hosts' best move of the
match. The Baggies secured a point when Saido Berahino equalised after
counter-attacking quickly shortly before half time. Speaking after the final
whistle, Jenkinson said: "We didn't play our best football but I think we
did enough to win the game to be honest. "We were pressing well, especially
in the second half and they were struggling to get out of their own half. We
just couldn't find a way to score a second goal."

The draw with West Brom was the Hammers' third game in seven days in what
proved to a gruelling festive season of matches. Despite picking up one
point from a possible nine, Jenkinson is positive the Hammers are pulling in
the right direction, especially given the spirited performance against his
parent club Arsenal on 28 December. The 22-year-old right-back has been in
impressive form this season, featuring in 15 of the Hammers' 20 league games
and he is hopeful that he can keep his place for the Hammers' third round FA
Cup tie with Everton. "We've played a lot of games recently and I think the
lads tired towards the end. We didn't quite have the edge to go and get the
goal that we needed, it's frustrating obviously. We have to get on with it
and focus on the FA Cup on Tuesday. "The FA Cup is massive, everyone loves
playing in it. We want to stay in it and progress as far as we can. We just
have to go there with confidence. We're sixth in the league and doing really
well. It's a massive game and we are all really looking forward to it.
"Thursday was very frustrating because it was a game we said we need to win.
All the best teams go through patches were they don't pick up a win. We've
had three games without a win, but we did that earlier in the season and
then won three or four on the bounce. Football's a strange game, and two of
those games were against top, top teams."

Hammers sign Henry

West Ham United are delighted to announce the signing of Canada
international defender Doneil Henry
03.01.2015

West Ham United are delighted to announce the signing of Canada
international defender Doneil Henry. The 21-year-old centre-back joins the
Hammers on a long-term contract from Cypriot First Division club Apollon
Limassol for an undisclosed fee. Capped 14 times, Henry has spent two
periods training with West Ham in recent months, having been recommended to
manager Sam Allardyce by Toronto FC head coach and former Blackburn Rovers
and New Zealand captain Ryan Nelsen. Henry was the first player to graduate
from the Academy of MLS club Toronto FC and has already made 92 first-team
appearances for the Reds - including 25 during a loan spell back in Canada
from Limassol in 2014.
"It feels good to be given the opportunity to come and train and see what
it's like to be part of a Premier League team and I just want to get started
and get into the team real soon," said Henry. "I had a really good
relationship with Ryan Nelsen and I always wanted to see what it was like to
play at another level, the highest level, and I got the opportunity to come
over here. Since then, I was just hoping to come back and now it's happened,
I want it to continue on and keep playing. "I started with the Toronto FC
Academy when I was 16 and signed for the first-team when I was 17 and now I
just want to continue to develop and keep growing as a player. I'm 21 and I
want to get a role with the team, keep my head down and take my opportunity
when I can. "I love a tackle and I just want to defend hard. I take pride in
my clean sheets with the back line and with the 'keeper, so if we can just
do that, it's job completed."

Despite his tender years, Henry already has extensive experience at club,
continental and international levels. The 6'2 defender joined the Toronto FC
Academy at the age of 15 in November 2008, and captained the team through
two seasons in the Canadian Soccer League in 2009 and 2010. At 17, he
appeared in the CONCACAF Champions League preliminary round before signing
for Toronto FC's first-team squad in August 2010. Henry established himself
as a regular starter in 2011 and 2012, signing a new long-term contract
after scoring his first goal for the club against Real Salt Lake in April
2012. After continuing to impress in both the MLS and Canadian Championship,
winning the latter in three straight years between 2010 and 2012, Henry came
to the attention of Nelsen following the centre-back's appointment in
January 2013.

Late 2013 saw Henry spend a period training with West Ham before he joined
Apollon Limassol, before immediately being loaned back to Toronto. Six
months on and the defender has moved to east London following a successful
second spell at Chadwell Heath. The 2012 Canadian U-20 Player of the Year,
Henry has been a regular starter for Canada over the last two years,
featuring at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament in the United States.
Henry is hoping he can set a trend for other young players from a country
more associated with ice hockey than association football. "There are a lot
of talented young Canadian players coming up through the youth ranks right
now and if they can get some more opportunities to develop at good clubs
under great coaches, I feel that they can definitely be one of the top
countries in competition," he added. "Personally, I want to make my mark as
quickly as possible. The only way to develop is by playing games and putting
yourself under pressure. It's all good for players to get opportunities so
the sooner I can get into the mix the better. "I know I have to earn the
respect of the players here and that's fine. I just want to work hard and
continue with my career.
"The standard here is really good. I definitely feel I can compete so I just
need to adapt to what they want to do here and I don't think I'll have a
problem."

Henry goes straight into Big Sam's first-team squad, and the manager is
hopeful that the Brampton, Ontario-born player can force his way onto the
pitch before the current season is out. "Ryan was my captain at Blackburn
for a couple of years and he rang us and told us about Doneil," the manager
confirmed. "He said this lad definitely has Premier League potential and he
has everything he needs. "With a little coaching from us and work in terms
of how to defend in the Premier League, Ryan says he has all the attributes
to be a good player. "We have invested in him for the near future, so we do
hope he can make some sort of appearance this season if he settles in and
does as well as Ryan thinks he will. If not, we hope he is certainly one for
the future."

Cresswell wants Goodison glory
WHUFC.com
Aaron Cresswell has his sights set on FA Cup success at Goodison Park on
Tuesday evening
03.01.2015

Aaron Cresswell is relishing a return to his native Merseyside in the FA Cup
on Tuesday evening, not least in a bid to get West Ham United back to
winning ways. The 25-year-old was the width of a post from netting the
winner against West Bromwich Albion on New Year's Day, as his second-half
free-kick thudded back off the upright of Ben Foster's goal. Having earlier
swung in the cross for Diafra Sakho's eleventh-minute opener, Thursday's 1-1
Barclays Premier League draw was an eventful one for Cresswell, who was left
to rue the Hammers' failure to make the most of a fast start. "We had a
great first 15 minutes, Sakho got the goal and had we got a second it would
have killed the game off," he said. "Unfortunately, we couldn't get it and
it fell a bit flat after the equaliser. "In the second half they defended
well at times and looked to counter us. I was a little bit unlucky with the
free-kick, but sometimes they go in and sometimes they don't. It's one of
those things."

With the New Year upon us, Cresswell can reflect on an excellent 2014, both
personally and for his new Club. The full-back remains an ever present in
the Barclays Premier League this term and is understandably thrilled to have
established himself in a high-flying Hammers side. He continued: "We've had
20 games now, we're over halfway through the season and I'm delighted with
the way it's gone for me on the pitch. I just keep my head down, work hard
every day in training and look forward to every game that I play."

None more so, you would imagine, than a trip back to Merseyside, where
Cresswell grew up a Liverpool fan. But aside from his personal allegiances,
he is primarily focused on seeing the Hammers safely into the fourth round
of this season's FA Cup. "It's the FA Cup, it's massive," he confirmed." Of
course we'd like to finish as high as we can in the league, but it would be
nice to get a little FA Cup run this season, so we'll just have to see where
we go. "When you grow up in Liverpool, you're either a red or a blue and for
me, it was red. So going up to Merseyside as well, playing against Everton,
it will be nice to be back and we'll be looking to get through to the next
round. We want to get a good run in the cup, so hopefully we can get the
result."

West Ham sign Canada defender Doneil Henry on long-term deal
BBC.co.uk

West Ham have signed Canada defender Doneil Henry from Cypriot side Apollon
Limassol. The 21-year-old, who played 92 times for MLS side Toronto FC,
moves to Upton Park on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee. The 6ft
2in (1.88m) centre-back has spent two periods training with the Hammers in
recent months. He was recommended to manager Sam Allardyce by former Toronto
head coach and ex-Blackburn player Ryan Nelsen. "It feels good to be given
the opportunity to come and train and see what it's like to be part of a
Premier League team and I just want to get started and get into the team
real soon," said Henry, who has 14 international caps. "I love a tackle and
I just want to defend hard. I take pride in my clean sheets with the
backline and with the keeper, so if we can just do that, it's job
completed."

Allardyce, who managed Nelsen at Ewood Park, hopes Henry can make his West
Ham debut before the end of this season. "We have invested in him for the
near future, so we do hope he can make some sort of appearance this season
if he settles in and does as well as Ryan thinks he will," Allardyce said.
"If not, we hope he is certainly one for the future."

Sullivan - I could have had Bony for £8million

By: Staff Writer

David Sullivan has once again reiterated that he would have signed Wilfried
Bony - if he hadn't been overruled by Sam Allardyce. The Chairman, speaking
to Jason Burt of the Telegraph continued to stress the divide between
himself and his manager by insisting that he wouldn't have signed Andy
Carroll - had the choice been his. "I would have bought Wilfried Bony -
£8million and 40 grand a week," He told Burt. "Swansea paid £12m. I had him
bought for £8m."

Swansea are understood to be willing to listen to offers for the in-form
striker, who had scored nine goals this season - the same as Diafra Sakho,
who Sullivan also recently revealed was his call.

Hammers keen on Spurs winger - reports
KUMB.com
Filed: Saturday, 3rd January 2015
By: Staff Writer

West Ham are rumoured to be keeping an eye on Tottenham's former England
winger Aaron Lennon, as the winter transfer window officially opens. With
the January window open for business, the Mirror report that the Hammers are
one of several clubs monitoring the 27-year-old's situation, with Lennon
said to be unhappy at White Hart Lane. Other clubs said to be interested
include Queens Park Rangers and Leicester, although Stoke - who are said to
have already made a £6million bid - are currently considered front runners
to land the player.

* West Ham continue to be linked with a move for Scotland Under-21 left-back
Stephen Hendrie. The teenage defender was initially mentioned as a potential
target last weekend, since when a number of sources are claiming that West
Ham are willing to pay around £2million to sign the player.

* Antonio Nocerino, who spent the latter half of last season on loan at West
Ham from Milan could be set for a third move inside 12 months. The
midfielder, 29, signed for Torino on loan at the start of the 2014/15
campaign but has cut his season-long loan shot. Parma are said to be
interested in landing the former international, whose nickname is 'Walnut'.

* There are still no genuine enquiries for Matt Jarvis despite his cameo
against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend. The wide man has barely
featured for West ham this season but played for most of the second half on
New Year's Day as West Ham laboured to a 1-1 draw. Jarvis told whufc.com
that he was "fully fit and trying to get back into the team".

* For the third transfer window running, West Ham are being linked with
Algerian international Ishak Belfodil. Out of favour at Parma, Tutto Mercato
report that West Ham are keen to try and take the striker on loan for the
remainder fo the season with view to a permanent deal.

West Ham sign Canada international defender Doneil Henry

West Ham have made their first signing of the January transfer window after
snapping up Canada international defender Doneil Henry.
The 21-year-old centre-back arrives from Apollon Limassol on a long-term
contract for an undisclosed fee. Henry joined the Cypriot First Division
side in October but returned to Toronto FC on loan and was recommended to
Sam Allardyce by the MLS side's coach Ryan Nelsen.
"Ryan was my captain at Blackburn for a couple of years and he rang us and
told us about Doneil," Allardyce told West Ham's website.
"With a little coaching from us and work in terms of how to defend in the
Premier League, Ryan (Nelsen) says he (Henry) has all the attributes to be a
good player." "He said this lad definitely has Premier League potential and
he has everything he needs. "With a little coaching from us and work in

West Ham striker Mauro Zarate faces second QPR medical before move
Last Updated: 03/01/15 1:54pm

West Ham striker Mauro Zarate has only to complete the second part of his
medical before his proposed six-month loan move to QPR goes ahead, Sky
sources understand. Zarate has scored twice in eight appearances for the
Hammers this season after joining from Argentine side Velez Sarsfield in the
summer. He has since fallen out of favour, slipping behind Andy Carroll,
Diafra Sakho and Carlton Cole in the Upton Park pecking order, and has not
featured for Sam Allardyce's side since the 2-1 win at West Brom on December
2. QPR boss Harry Redknapp is keen to add to his striking options to boost
their survival hopes and is prepared to offer Zarate the opportunity to
impress at Loftus Road. Redknapp must wait a little longer though, to see if
Zarate can pass the second phase of his medical and secure a move from east
to west London.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez is likely to make changes for the FA Cup
clash with West Ham as he looks to bounce back from four straight league
defeats. The Spaniard could recall Romelu Lukaku and Samuel Eto'o up front
but Antolin Alcaraz is suspended following his late red card at Hull. West
Ham will be without Senegal forward Diafra Sakho and midfielder Cheikhou
Kouyate as they head off on international duty for the Africa Cup of
Nations, while Alex Song could yet be a late call-up for Cameroon. Defender
James Tomkins is available after suspension and winger Matt Jarvis is
pressing for a start after coming off the bench against West Brom on New

THE EXPULSION FROM PARADISE - WILL ALLARDYCE LEAD US INTO THE OS ?
By HamburgHammer 3 Jan 2015 at 08:00
West Ham Till I Die

Which West Ham fan could ever forget that glorious Saturday in May when Vaz
Te shot the Hammers back into the Premiership just a few minutes prior to
the final whistle. Players hugging and celebrating on the Wembley pitch
while the Hammers fans in the stands were singing their very own version of
the Coldplay smash hit "Paradise".

Suddenly Allardyce was Cockney rhyming slang for paradise and it was true –
Allardyce had brought the club back from its knees to the promised land of
the Premier League where not milk and honey flow but a seemingly endless
stream of TV revenue beckons plus a global audience of hundreds of millions
of football fans.

These days though Allardyce (again) may have bitten off more than he can
chew from the forbidden fruit (or should that be chewing gum ?) as again
fans are not happy with a recent run of just one point of a possible nine,
albeit including games against biggies like Chelsea and Arsenal. It was not
so much the results as such but the manner of the defeats, some baffling
decision by the manager regarding his lineup and resting certain players in
certain games and of course the still somewhat mysterious treatment of Mauro
Zarate.

I think it's fair to say that Allardyce had managed the nigh impossible in
the first two or three months of the season: He had won over a lot of his
fiercest critics among fans and pundits. And most possibly his employers as
well. With Nolan and Carroll unavailable West Ham were playing breathtaking
and exciting football with Sakho and Valencia upfront and a diamond
formation behind them. Players were constantly running, chasing,
interchanging positions. It was unexpected. It was unpredictable. It was
pacy. It was successful. It was downright brilliant.

We all have seen what happened next. Injuries took Sakho and Valencia out of
the equation for a while. Carroll and Nolan were available again and while
the results initially were still good the football had changed again to
something which was eerily similar to the fare on offer for the majority of
games last season, albeit with a generally better quality overall due to our
much improved squad.

Which leads us (and more importantly the board) to the question of what lies
ahead for Allardyce. I'm sure the manager would love to see an extension to
his contract arriving on his doorstep rather earlier than at the end of the
season as originally planned. The board apparently want to wait matters out
though and take in the rest of the season to evaluate performances,
development, maybe even satisfaction among the fanbase.

Make no mistake, Allardyce has done a fantastic job up to this point. He
took on the job when West Ham very much resembled the ugliest bird at the
graduation dance. Not an attractive proposition at all. Relegated. An ageing
and very mediocre squad. With virtually no team spirit to be seen anywhere.
A shambles really.

Allardyce took us back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
And he's kept us there although the football at times was diabolical. And he
did this with very limited ressources. There are not a lot of managers
around who can stretch a limited budget as far as Allardyce, vital for a
club like ours not blessed with owners who have hundreds of millions of
pounds to spend without thinking twice. Our team spirit is the best it's
been in years. We rarely get a thrashing on the pitch these days.

But Allardyce keeps on dividing the fanbase. Some just don't like him as a
person. Some despise his perceived stubbornness and inabilty to shoulder the
blame for anything. Some don't like his formations and lineups or what they
see as an extreme loyalty to certain players while ignoring others perceived
to be better options.
Some fans still think Allardyce knows best and is maybe the best manager
West Ham could wish for at this point.
Others think Allardyce has done a fine job, but taken us as far as he can
and therefore want him gone. At the end of the season or earlier.

It's hard to tell at this point if indeed the board may have actually made
their mind up already about NOT extending Allardyce's contract. And it's
also possible that Allardyce may know, or at least sense, that his days at
West Ham might be numbered. With the OS on the horizon the main objective
can no longer be to just stay up.

Especially after the brilliant first half of the season future West Ham
teams need to constantly play attacking football which is pleasing on the
eye AND pleasing on the points tally. Can Allardyce deliver that and can he
make the West Ham team as unpredictable and nasty to play as in the early
parts of the season ?

Personally I reckon that Allardyce knows he will not be leading West Ham out
onto the pitch of the OS. In my view he's merely going through the motions
which he can afford to do as we are virtually safe already. That's one bonus
payment pocketed for him. More money may be available depending on league
position or qualification for European football. But would Allardyce really
try really hard to get West Ham into Europe if he already knew that another
manager would be taking the squad to Rome, Lyon and Prague next season, and
not him ? I doubt it. Allardyce is not the kind of manager to "go for it".
He is a safety net kind of manager, perfect for putting stability into
clubs, but not good enough to make "the next step".

The ideal solution in my view is an amicable parting of ways at the end of
the season. Which of course may result in the current season petering out in
unspectacular fashion. But if unspectacular in this case means midtable
obscurity, it would be just about acceptable I reckon. West Ham qualifying
for Europe with Allardyce is not impossible, but I have a gut feeling it'll
be up to his successor (whenever he may arrive) to clinch European football
for West Ham.

Europe and the "fatigue factor"
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on January 3, 2015 in Whispers
By Rich Sprent
Claret & Hugh

The West Brom game demonstrated perfectly just how fragile a good squad can
be when looking at European football. Let's make no bones about it, West Ham
could be worthy of a top six place. Yes, top six which, if Chelsea win a
domestic cup. would qualify the Irons for the Europa League…. assuming of
course we can stand the pace. However, we're looking slightly crestfallen
after two defeats and a draw when playing an extra game over the holiday
period. However, let us not get overawed by what the Europeans do, or
rather, don't do, it is only ONE extra League game fitted in a week between
Boxing and New Year's Days.

It is a good indicator of what could be to come next season with the
pressure of a midweek game each week. We've heard a lot nabout the fatigue
factor this week – we will need to get used to that or do something about
it!

Arguments can be made over forward selections with the African Nations
Cupdrawing near and Mauro Zarate being loaned out but it was the midfield
that looked decidedly average against West Brom.

The team was reliant on Song who had poor support. Kouyate looked energetic
in winning the ball but laboured in his passing. Amalfitano looked lively
but had little movement around him. Downing (pictured) was desperate for
colleagues to win him space. The midfield options on the bench? Jarvis,
Nolan & Noble! A struggling Baggies side nullified arguably the strongest
Irons line up. The benched players weren't going to light up the sky over
the Boleyn. The summer, and indeed January, investment is going to be
critical for West Ham's advancement.

The Hammers have confirmed that 21 year old Canadian defender Doneil Henry
from Cypriot side Apollon Limassol has been signed on a year three year

as he is prepared for the Premier League. "It's our policy to look for
promising young players this window although you can never rule out a bigger
name coming in! Watch this space" Co chairman David Sullivan's son Jack

Sakho scan result
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on January 3, 2015 in Whispers
Claret & Hugh

Diafra Sakho's injury problems were yesterday confirmed by a scan which
sadly rubber-stamped West Ham's s worst fears. ClaretandHugh had already
revealed that club medics feared the striker could be sidelined for several
weeks by an injury sustained during the match against West Bromwich Albion.
And this morning we have learned the scan on Sakho's back problem has now
been carried out and that it confirms that early opinion. A club source told
us exclusively: "He has been scanned and it confirms our worst fears, a
recurring back injury. He's likely to be out for between two to six weeks.
There is of course a wicked irony in the situation as far as the Senegal
national team are concerned who could now be without the player for their
African Nations Cup campaign. For it was whilst the player was on
international duty earlier in the year that the damage was done on the
treatment table according to Hammers officials. Now, unless the
striker makes a super-quick recovery, he will be missing when the tournament
kicks off in Equatorial Guinea on January 17.

Irons look for Sakho injury solutions
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on January 3, 2015 in Whispers
Claret & Hugh

Diafra Sakho's back injury will need careful maintaining over the medium and
long term as the club bid to overcome what has become a recurring problem
for the striker! The striker is set to be sidelined for between two to six
weeks after injuring himself against West Brom and the club are now looking
closely at the treatment programme needed by the player. It was originally
thought the problem had been dealt with after the mis-treatment he received
on his last excursion into the international arena with Senegal. But West
Ham are now being forced to face up to the fact that this is an ongoing
problem for and are looking at all possible solutions. A Hammers source told
ClaretandHugh exclusively: "We hope that three to four months of muscle
building might overcome it, but it will still be there.
"He might need an operation at some point and whilst that would put him out
for three to four months it would solve the issue 100 per cent. "We hope
that won't be necessary but all options remain open."

West Ham Linked With Massive Deal to Sign Carlos Tevez In Summer Deal
by The Newshound January 3rd, 2015
CaughtOffside.com

West Ham have been linked with a truly shocking move to re-sign Juventus
forward Carlos Tevez with the Argentine said to be set to reject a new deal
with the Turin based side according to the Daily Mail. The Upton Park side
are ready to make a massive move for Tevez ahead of the club's final season
at the Boleyn, the 30 year old Argentine still being something of a cult
hero for Hammers fans. West Ham have had an excellent campaign thus far and
if Sam Allardyce's side could secure some form of European football for next
term then perhaps such a deal becomes that little bit more plausible. Tevez
is very much an in-form player and one wonders why Juventus wouldn't make
the experienced goal-scorer a contract offer that goes beyond his current
deal, which expires in the summer of 2016. Since moving to Italy from Man
City Tevez has bagged 29 goals in 43 Serie A starts and played a key role in
the club's continued domestic dominance Tevez may like the idea of moving
back to east London, especially if such a deal was an extended spell that
would see him usher in a new era for the club as they move into the Olympic
Stadium. The lethal finisher enjoyed a hugely successful season at West Ham
in 2006/07, during which he helped the club retain their Premier League
status.
