Went for Lucas, mainly because he was so cheap compared to the others.

:lol: @ the LBM voter.

Nobby Solano.

Cost zilch.

Would have gone for Bellamy but will have to wait to see if he becomes problematic at all.
Was a little put off by Neill's early season form but was one of the posters who commended the signing of Solano massively.

Head says Neill. Saved us last season. Heart says Solano. Players that can ****ing play football. That's what we need more of.

I think Solano has made the quickest impression of any of the signings. He looked great straight off the bounce, no need for settling in........basically the first thing he did in a Hammers shirt was a play a one-two with Craig Gordon for a goal against Sunderland.

One of Bellamy, Neill or Solano so far.

I've gone for Neill because for the price we got him at he's turned out to be a fantastic signing. Played a major part in keeping us up last season, was made the new club captain in the summer and after a poor start to the season recently he has been playing very well.

In time I think I could be Bellamy because he's looked fantastic when he's been fit (on a side note, does anyone know if he's back for Sunday?). Solano has looked very good since he's got in the side. His quality of passing is top class.

Top 3 of

1. Nobby... quality player who still looks to have the hunger.

2. Bellamy... has had a great impact, but i can't warm to him, altho if he keeps scoring goals I might be persuaded...

3. Lucash... fantastic end of last season but this season i'm distinctly unimpressed, no competition for his place has bred some complacency I think, hoping he returns to form soon... pref with a commanding display against the spuds.

He was immense at the end of the last i will agree.

Bellers at the time i thought was a great signing and i've seen nothing to change that.

Craig for me :thup:
Before the Boro game i would have agreed but since, i think he's played well, possibly on a par with his performances at the end of last year...

If i was an opposition manager i know exactly where i'd attack us...his positional play is that of an Aussie after 6 pints, all over the place :wink:

Sorry i meant after the Boro game, which he was appaling in after THAT friendly..

& you're right, at times he can be a little all over the shop, argues with the ****ing ref alot too which more often than not leaves him out of position..

He's gonna score on sunday though, i've been saying it for a while now & i can feel it coming on sunday... :wink:

Bellamy with Solano a close second.

Neill, although excellent last season, has been distinctly average at best this season

Head says Bellamy/Solano, heart says Faubert, was so gutted when he got his injury. I reckon when he comes back he will end up being immense for us. The reason he's such a stand-out signing for Curbishley is he's young, a good prospect on the fringe of the France squad, and Curbishley must have used some sort of scouting abroad to find him.

Went for Neil, mainly based on his work of last season. I'm pretty shocked so many have gone for Solano who has played so few games and not exactly done that much for me.

Bellamy for me as he is behaving himself at the moment....it's too early for Solano (plus I haven't forgotten his ankle height header against Pompey) and Neill has been pretty poor all season really.....

Upson has looked good as well (despite having the turning circle of a crippled oil tanker....)

I won't be in the pub afterwards, Big guy.
You'll have to give me your best lines before the game if I pop in.

Oh, and wear those strides I like :D

I tried the Rosicky story on a bird the other night.

She walked off.

Always thought it was a corking chat up line.
