It’s been 11 happy days since we saw off Blackpool to take our place in the Premier League and there’s already talk of transfers to bolster our squad for the challenge ahead, exciting times!
We’ve already been linked with a couple strikers with Sam Baldock – said to be on his way to either Crystal Palace or Ipswich Town on loan – and Nicky Maynard already branded failures by the tabloids which is unfair to say the least but that’s a whole other story on its own!

On the plus side, the strikers we’re being linked with are fresh, exciting young players rather than another John Carew. We’ve been linked with Nigerian international Akpala, currently playing for Brugge, who has already stated how flattered he is by interest from the Premier League. Also on Big Sam’s radar is young Herenveen forward Bas Dost who boasts an incredible goalscoring record in Holland with a £7m bid reportedly already on the table.
Michael Owen is also available on a free after Sir Alex Ferguson revealed he would not be renewing the veteran’s contract and former hammer Tony Cottee has already endorsed a possible move to East London. Would he be a decent signing? There’s talk of him signing on a pay-as-you-play contract wherever he may be playing next season and on that basis I think he could be a very handy player to have at our disposal. If we were only to pay him for every game he plays, it’s a no win situation. It’s hardly risking the bank – depending on how much how much we pay him per game – so even if he flops and/or spends the entire season in the treatment room, we’d have nothing to lose!

I love the summer transfer window and I remember how excited I was this time 7 years ago as we attempted to build a team fit for the Premiership as it all added towards the build up to the season!
If Big Sam could build a team capable of achieving anything close to what Alan Pardew’s men did in our debut season back in the top tier of English football that year, we’re in for a cracking season!
COME ON YOU IRONS!
