I think Ravel has been released

[stationcafe]

I'd take Ravel, he's probably the most talented British player of his age group. Yes he's got his issues, but we wouldn't get a look in if he didn't.

Having said that I would much rather he went to Spain/Italy/Holland/Germany and improved than came here and stagnated.

Dont know if this has already been said but according to The Mirror he's on the verge of joining Lazio

very true!!

Sky saying he's in dispute with them over a months wages of £60,000 which they say they've deducted for club fines.

Would of thought he'd be on a lot more than £15k a week.

Apparently he was on a contract that dramatically improved if he played regularly and/or achieved certain milestones (like an international cap etc). Clever from West Ham that, in theory it should be an incentive for the player to keep working hard and also protects the club against paying top dollar for someone who under-achieves and doesn't play regularly. Phil Beard could learn a lot!

Maybe we have such contracts?
Pretty sure Cesar was on something similar as that was why he wasn't being played.

Sounds sensible on West Ham's part!

Lazio pulled out of deal radio said

Assault charges dropped

[Ginger Ninja]

Get him in I say.

[Rangersw12]

Why would go for him when we have Adel , Fer , Mutch, Zarate and Kranjcar already who play in his position

More to the point, why bother when he's clearly a liability and not got the right attitude or mindset to make the most of his talent.

Put him on a similar deal to the one he had at West Ham, Niko is constantly injuredand a loan, Zarate is on loan, Adele will be gone, Mutch and Fer are more CM than a number 10 which I suspect would be the perfect position for Ravel.

If we can shift SWP Phillips Adel Hoilet Traore or any 3 of those then 6 month deal on thse sort of Greengages could be good biz
