Big Phil on the big signings

|
ParkesyFormer West Ham shot stopper Phil Parkes believes West Ham did very good business in the January transfer window.
Writing his column for Blowing Bubbles Monthly,  in association with Claret and Hugh, Parkes says the acquisition of both Jose Fonte and Robert Snodgrass was brilliant business.
He said: “Fonte is a top player who wouldn’t look out of place at any club in the world. He’s an organiser who will bring real discipline and solidarity to the back three or four.
“As for Snodgrass, he is one of those ‘what you see if what you get’ players and he is a proper Geoff Pike type. He scores goals, is Premier League proven, and a grafter who will add something to the squad.”
Elsewhere in the February issue of the popular monthly magazine, Blowing Bubbles chats to Clyde Best on his journey from Bermuda to east London and why he would not allow the many racists to drive him out of English football.
Blowing Bubbles also asks if Lanzini can step out of Payet’s shadow and become a star for West Ham for years to come and whether or not Mark Noble still deserves a place in our first choice XI.

    Fonte & Snodgrass will prove to be two excellent signings.We are now starting to see the best of Feghouli.Its all about patience,not every player comes in to our league and hits the ground running.I get great enjoyment from watching so called poor purchases then going on to prove their worth when they have been written off after one match by some so called experts.

    They were always going to be two good signings to my mind.It wasnt even debatable.You only had to watch them more than once or twice to know their qualities in the league.They were some great business.

    Young Rad you read Hamburg Hammers write ups dont you.Its a good one today,very enjoyable.As per though you will have to ignore the comments section with the predictable C&H clickbait..C&H polls dirge from them.A few of them really do hold themselves and that site in high esteem when they have no reason too.They write as much bs as the rest of us if not more.Pretentious wally brains

    Tell you what Big Phil would’ve stopped both those Baggies goals and I do mean now not 20 years ago. How cool and calm was that man?
