Irons aim to make Noble a ‘lifer’

Nobes

CANDH EXCLUSIVE

BY HUGH SOUTHON

West Ham are preparing to make loyalist Mark Noble an offer he can’t refuse next summer and all but tying him to the club for life.

ClaretandHugh can exclusively reveal that the club will activate a two year option on the midfielder’s deal and are ready to make him an improved contract offer at the same time.

Noble is the man who is set to lead the club into its new Olympic Stadium era and the club want to tie him down for another six years.

And the Canning Town-born Mr West Ham looks certain to sign away his footballing life to the club he has served since he was 15,

Winston Reid’s contract dispute has hogged the headlines over recent months but the club has been working on the Noble scenario for several weeks.

And this afternoon a top insider told ClaretandHugh exclusively: “We have an option to extend his contract two years, which we will do and we are likely to be offering him an improved deal and a new four  year contract.”

  1. Well done if this is the case. I have read many criticisms of Mark Noble, but personally I disagree with most of them. For me Mark is certainly good enough and with the game being awash with money & mercenaries, many seem to miss the OBVIOUS!

    Every club NEEDS a heart and soul at its core, instead a group of players cobbled together from around the world without the understanding of what it means to be playing for a club. Foreign players understand and respect this point. Arsenal had a british core with Tony Adams, who had to lay down the law to Viera and co when they arrived at Arsenal, he made them understand what it meant to play for them and the supporters. The same as John Terry at Chelsea and I’m glad to know that this isn’t lost on our owners & manager.

    Sign him up pronto and I think he also has the mentality to make a good coach or manager at West Ham in the future. He supports the club and know what it means to play for the club!
