Newton Back but Mascherano Walking

The Newham Recorder this week reports that Mascherano walked out of Upton Park after he was not named in Curbishley's first squad. It also reports that Shaun Newton has now competed his seven month ban, but will not feature against Fulham because of lack of match fitness.

The paper claim that Curbishley will not sell anyone in January and that despite Magnusson's big plans in the transfer market Curbishley thinks it will be hard to attract anyone to a West Ham side in the bottom three.
