Scott Parker completed his move from Tyneside to the East End as the midfielder agreed to a five-year contract. West Ham paid Newcastle United £7 million to grease the skids, but it seems like they will recoup that midfield investment in selling Nigel Reo-Coker to Aston Villa. There had been some talk in the last couple of days that Parker was delaying his agreement with the Hammers because he wasn't sure that he wanted to be reunited with West Ham manager Alan Curbishley, for whom Parker played at Charlton Athletic.
Jason Burt of the Independent summarizes the latest on West Ham's summer plans in an article from Wednesday. Yossi Benayoun, meanwhile, is dragging his feet a bit in signing his new five-year contract. Burt also reports that Benayoun is hoping for an offer from Liverpool, but adds that Liverpool is unlikely to offer enough to entice West Ham. Look, Liverpool already got one good midfielder from the Irons this calendar year. Make them find their own damn midfielders. Well, unless they want to outbid Aston Villa for Reo-Coker. Heh. Yeah, right.
