Well, if you work for a company and 2 companies make offers to you...one is top notch like Goldman Sachs which has high calibre personnel in your department and the other is Credit Suisse who have not quite as good potential colleagues.

Do you choose Goldmans where you may not be promoted for ages but would be recognised as being part of a team with some of the best in the industry or do you choose credit suisse where you stand a better chance of being promoted?

If you believe you can potentially be one of the best in your field / department then clearly you choose Goldmans as you believe youre good enough to be there....

If Byram believes he is a potential top class RB he should welcome the competition and push himself to oust coleman....if he doesnt believe he can then he joins west ham.

Winners would always believe in themselves to be the best.

Again mate, one flaw to that.........

If you believe yourself to be that good then you joined the lesser one, get the promotions and be a part of overtaking the market leaders rather than accepting they will never be as good as them. (premier league metaphor there!!!!)

Also again i ask, how is west ham a step down from everton?

Well they're above us in the league in fairness...

I don't think it's a case of either club been better. We're, historically, a bigger club, but that probalby means very little to a 22 year old who grew up a West Ham fan, especially barring in mind that in his life time we've won the square root of sweet nothin' - just as they have.

They also have the added incentive of first team football plus the London draw.
 
Owner Massimo Cellino confirmed: "I'm really sorry for Everton because they really acted like gentlemen, but Sam chose West Ham."

In terms of history, it probably is. But that means very little like I said in my previous post.

Probably on the same level - though we have got the better young players and you'd think Byram would have wanted to be part of that.

The one positive I keep going back to is a fact that a Championship full back can waltz straight into a team that are supposedly challenging for top six come seasons end. He couldn't get straight into ours, even though it'd have been a good signing.
 

Coleman has 5 years left in him as our No1 , which means we've just lost out on a No2 No2 who would have cost £5 mill. In the meantime we have Pennington, Holgate, Kenny, Browning to develop at right back .For the money we can look abroad and probably get an established international for that money, or another Mo Besic. Better to spend the money on areas where we are truly weak which is further up the field from RB , err unless the RB looks over his shoulder and sees our GK. I note we have a Head of European Scouting mentioned on our staff, £5 mill buys you more for your money abroad these days.

History means nothing today though. Great we have won more trophies in our history than man city, if you were a player wanting to win things, who would you go to?

But yeah, i agree mate, he was a back up only and i would have liked him to join. To be fair though he would have played here if he had came, but only until coleman was fit again.

I think he also sees west ham as a better stepping stone to a big club, the big boys come knocking in a year or to he gets a move easy from west ham, here not so easy look at the stone to Chelsea saga, we want the players we buy here for the long term as we are building for the future, any player we sign has to buy into that thinking. I think WHU are only really concerned about the present time.

Also to add @Ashtonian


didnt realise he was a weat ham fan so fair play then if he joins them.

One season where we are currently behind them in the table is pretty much irrelevant to me though. A player should think about his own and the clibs future prospects not just a side a few points ahead in the league with alot left to play for.

Also whose Hodgson going to watch at west ham? Hes going to have people watching us and see:

Baines--Jags--Stones--Byram which is an all english back 4 with 3 current internationals. Anyone with belief they can be a top player would want to be part of our team.

Also for the point about joining a company and then that company e.g Credit Suisse surpassing the better company e.g Goldmans....one superstar doesnt make a team and we have more superstars than west ham have or will have.

Theyve been a yoyo club for ages.


Calum chambers shouts are interesting and he would be a good signing but we have Holgate to come through who would do the same roles.
