Sunderland plan £5m raid for Hammers defender Collins

Sunderland have launched a £5million raid for West Ham centre back James Collins after Steve Bruce boosted his defence with the capture of out-of-contract Paraguay skipper Paulo da Silva on a three-year deal from Mexican side Toluca.

Liverpool will permit Xabi Alonso to leave if the midfield player publicly expresses his desire to join Real Madrid.

Alonso has told Rafael Benítez, the Liverpool manager, he wants to go but stopped short of asking for a transfer while Florentino Pérez, the Real president, has spoken to Benítez but not made an offer. Alonso is unlikely to be part of the squad that travels to Malaysia on Saturday for a pre-season tour.

The proposed transfer would be worth about £32million, with Liverpool likely to use the money to sign an attacking replacement.


Tottenham Hotspur have held talks with Kyle Walker and Kyle Naughton after tabling a combined offer of about £8million for the Sheffield United defenders. Tottenham offered £5million for Naughton, the right back, who would prefer to move to Everton.

Steven Pienaar is unhappy that Everton have not offered him an improved contract, to match those given to three team-mates recently. The South Africa midfield player, who has two years left on his deal, has attracted interest from Villarreal, Galatasaray and Tottenham. “If Everton view me as part of their long-term plans they should make me an offer soon,” he said. “Could I end up elsewhere? You never know.”

Sunderland have offered about £5million for James Collins, the West Ham United defender who is attracting interest from Celtic. Sunderland also have the option to sign Calum Davenport, a West Ham team-mate, after a loan spell last season and have inquired after Michael Dawson, the Tottenham defender. Bayer Leverkusen are interested in Julien Faubert, the West Ham midfield player.

Blackburn Rovers have inquired about Kenwyne Jones, the Sunderland striker.

Zamalek, the Egyptian side, are willing to pay up to £1million to sign Mido, the Egypt forward, on loan from Middlesbrough.



Blackburn have given a trial to Alharbi el-Jadeyaoui, the midfield player who has one year left on his contract at Brest, of the French second division.

Paulo Da Silva has signed a three-year deal with Sunderland after the defender left Toluca, of Mexico.

Brian Easton is expected to move to Burnley after the club agreed a fee for the Hamilton defender.

Faubert hasn't set the world alight, granted, but £1m? Surely we can get more than that for him!

Would prefer to keep Collins too!

I think Faubert has a lot to prove this season, which is why if I was Zola, I would be giving him a lot of game time pre-season.

I'm going to put my balls on the line as a serial Julien Fabuery hater but I reckon he will do well this season!! Especially if Lucas Neill doesn't come back, Julien Faubert will play well for the hammers.

You heard it here first.

There has to be more to Faubert, whether he just dislikes West Ham, whether its the food, the climate, the service in the Queens,
the laundery putting too much starch in his underwear... who knows?
But there really has to be more to this guy... :think:

Didnt Real Madrid pay money for Faubert, it was an advance payment to us with an option for Real to buy,
IIRC Madrid did more than just pay his wages.

Am I dreaming.
Did Madrid pay £1.5m to us! :shock:

If you add £1m from Leverkussen, then we have recouped £2.5m on a player who has failed miserably.
If we keep him and dont play him not only will his wages continue to debit our account, but his value will drop further,a nd his contract approach expiry.

I cant be right about Madrid paying can I.

West Ham's Ashton moves a step closer to Stoke move
| Ian Ferris

West Ham's Dean Ashton did not travel with the rest of the Hammers squad to Austria on Monday, increasing speculation he will soon move to Stoke.

Stoke chairman Peter Coates revealed last month that the Potters had made an enquiry about Ashton, and Tony Pulis has since confirmed the former Crewe man is a player he would like to sign this summer.

It is understood the Potters have held advanced talks with Ashton, who is keen to return to north, and are hoping to conclude a deal as quickly as possible.
