Neill Wants More Money

The Daily Mirror claim that Lucas Neill has opened talks with West Ham about increasing his salary. The paper says Neil joined West Ham on £60,000-a-week but he wants to match the £75,000 of Parker and Ljungberg.

The paper gives no sources for this story and the article contains no direct quotes.

The Daily Mail, meanwhile, report that Hayden Mullins is doubtful for Saturday's game at Derby. Mullins suffered a recurrence of the calf injury he picked up in last week's Carling Cup victory at Coventry during the Bolton game.
