Irons react to Sam/Tomkins speculation

West Ham fans have reacted angrily to speculation that former boss Sam Allardyce – now installed for two years at Sunderland – may be preparing a bid for local lad James Tomkins.

The story was broken by a national newspaper this morning and the fans were quick off their marks to respond. They ain’t happy

Here’s a selection of their comments on Twitter:

1. BFS can think again @TomkinsOfficial isn’t going anywhere, he’s 1 of our own

2. Well if Tomkins goes he needs his head examining. Keep BFS away from my Hammers @FreeInside

3. The Olympic Stadium versus The Stadium of Light. You’d have to have a screw loose to choose the latter.

4. This Hammer’s determined to stay.

5. Joey O’Brien yes, James Tomkins NO WAY
