Frank Nouble

[EskWeston 696]

I think the signing of sturridge has put him off. He also see's di santo infront of him too.

The thing is though, it shouldn't have any bearing on him yet. For 2 reasons.

Firstly he has only just broken into the reserve team. He would be needing to dominate in the reserves before his next step, which would be a most likely a loan move or a couple of first team appearances like Stoch. So by the time he is ready to become a first team regular the situation will be very different at Chelsea.

Secondly his speed and ability means he can play very effectively as a winger, which is where he plays the majority of the time. So he has that option as well if he is looking at breaking into the first team.

Does he feel he could break into another team faster? Maybe he could at West Ham, but given time he could also break into our team and play at a higher level.

Again it is very uncertain because it was reported he DID sign a new contract. I want to see him stay because the lad is a beast of a player.

Undergoing a medical apparently. No more has been said.

Bloody shame if true.

But this is what happens with young players all the time. If he does go we will receive a nominal fee at tribunal, but more importantly we miss out on a very promising player we have been developing. The question is WHY is he leaving, if he is going because of lack of first team chances then i hope it will make the club sit up and realise that more needs to be done.

OH NO West ham have done to us what we have been doing to them for years. This kid is a player who has the ability to become a quality premiership player.

If this does happen it will be the first time we have unwillingly lost a player from our youth system, and also one who has yet to get to the advanced stage of his development. (attempting to break into the first team)

How gutted will we be when he's a premiership superstar for west ham

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Hopefully he has a good season this year with them. Hopefully Zola can use him ASAP and show Carlo and co that we do have talented youngsters and to give them a chance in once a while. I hope he has a great season this year, he's under a great man and a great manager.

What a fucking shame, one day that kid is going to be a star.

[Badboy 1,526]

You know what if i was him i would leave. Lets face it zola gave lots of youngster plenty of games last season, savio 19 sears 19 junior Stanislas 19 Jack Collison 20. All these players got more than 10 premership apps last season and plenty of reserve team football.

Still only 17 is Nouble really going to get games for West Ham's first team this season? Very gutted to see him go and i have no doubt we will see him doing very good things in the future.....
