West Ham Sell McCartney

The Daily Mail are reporting that George McCartney has signed a four year deal for Sunderland for £4.5 million. West Ham rejected a bid of £4.5 million from Sunderland for McCartney in July so it is surprising that the Irons didn't hold out for more.

Update: The BBC are reporting that the fee is rumoured to be £6 million.

The rumours are that West Ham will replace McCartney with Chelsea's Paulo Ferreira.

Update: West Ham target Guglielmo Stendardo has joined Lecce on loan from Lazio.

Snap. Agreed with the last comment. Its just stupid. On papaer to buy him for £1 and sell for £6 is great business, well it is if you have a ready made replacement. We dont. And he is good.

We seem to be the only PL club acting like a business not a football club...ultimately though it might make the difference between europe and not, top half or not, relegation or not!!

If he goes it shows that AC and MD have no idea aobut the comings and goings. They have said no one else will be sold!!!

Hammer of the year gone.... the board is only out for money....
WE sell a striker a centre back and our only left back... rediculous.. why even did we let freddie go, We bought out his contract..?? surely it was better to keep him and pay his wages instead?...

I can't believe we've sold our only left back. Do they think Joe Widdowson is good enough to replace him like James Tomkins is for ferdinand? I aint being funny but anton was an under 21 regular and I thought, although not as good as his brother was, he was a good center half. Now, this just takes the Eggert's Biscuits! OUR ONLY LEFT BACK!!! neill is a right back leave him there! I can't really see us buying anyone! I've always stuck by curbishly and I don't think it's his fault but our defence is going to be utter pants if we dont bring in a decent left back! I'm scared!!!!
