Will we go back for Parker?

I hope not. I think he's over rated/priced. Moment against Cradiff the other week when he was put in on goal and he choked summed him up for me: no pace, no guile, no touch and questionable ability to think quickly. He's ok but not worth the hype, price and wages.

He was never the best player in the league that's for sure. I think the fact West Ham were soooo bad generally, that it highlighted his "good" performances more, to the point where everyone said he's carrying them and amazing etc.... Well, if he's that brilliant, they shouldn't of gone down.

Gerrard has carried a team for years by making them achieve things against the odds with average players in most areas, Parker helped them claim a few points here and there they would've otherwise lost, nothing more.

That said, he is still a very good player, but i think they are deluded to think big money will come from a top club. Spurs buy young so they have the option to sell on in a few yrs, and won't need if they get Diarra Arsene Wanger buys young, UTD, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City don't need him..... That leaves mid table teams who aren't as desperate as us.

I doubt he will come, but to be honest, if we up the bid, i don't think they'll be as many options as West Ham fans seem to think....

I have you about right with £6m. They have a ready made replacement for less in Nolan who will definitely score more goals than Parker ever would, so you could argue he's a better player.... ooh controversy.
