lol!!!
open and publically = uncredited comment by journo in West Ham's local paper
only interested in West Ham = keen to move across London.
Don't think you even convinced yourself!
press reported our interest weeks ago
Cork's agent would be aware, and also aware if any other clubs likely and would share the info in best interests of his client
can't think of any reason??
will be polite but we haven't got a clue about any 'policy' NC has, likely to be get best players, who club can work with at price willing to play??
maybe vast majority renew within a tight window anyway, e.g. 20% in first 2 or 3 days, 75% in last 2 or 3 days with weeks in between with few sales.
So maybe reckon people will still buy either as soon as they can, or last minute in same numbers if its 2 week window - making it easier for them to administrate and budget?
just not convince CMS would improve us £3m - over Lambert, Guly, Barnard, Connolly, Lallana, Ox-C in any combination - player of his age, one very good season in league 1, last year of contract - think £3m is silly price
