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)

[Kez 2,727]

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.....

Chelsea - Nouble Joins West Ham

After undergoing a medical at West Ham this afternoon, Frank Nouble has signed a five-year deal with Gianfranco Zola and Steve Clarke at Upton Park.

Nouble rejected the offer of signing professional forms at Stamford Bridge, fearing that the quality and quantity of strikers ahead of him at the club would stunt his development.

On completing his move from West to East London, Nouble has said, 'It is a great day for me and my family.'

'I am just excited now to get started at this club. I am really looking forward to showing what I can do.'

Speaking about the last couple of days, Nouble went on, 'This came out of the blue. The news came out that I rejected Chelsea, and obviously I thank them for what they have done for me but I am just happy that a club like West Ham came in for me.'

Here at Vital Chelsea, we can't help but think that young Nouble will come back to haunt us one day. It's always the way, isn't it?

Don't know is this sad but I think tat our youngstars can see that they can't get any chanses soon....

[5354 204]

Oh well...

We just gotta wish him for the best.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Let's face it... Cole and Lampard have haunted West Ham for so many seasons, its only fair for Nouble to one day come and do it

[Matterz 67]

Yeah is a good young talent but lets face it there was no way he was going to get into our first team anytime soon. If we look on the bright side we now have Sturridge who is miles better imo

Sad to see him go, I'm with Esk on this one but I do think he'll get more first team chances at west ham

Neil Bath on CTV last night explained what happened with Nouble. He said that Nouble wasn't happy with the terms of the Pro Contract he was offered. On top of that he was not happy with the lack of chances he got to train with the first team, Neil Bath sat down with him and explained that at the moment other players were ahead of him and he will get his chances but it wasn't enough.

Sounds like a bit of an ego problem then really.

Not to worry, knowing how the club works, we'll probably buy him back from WHam in a year or two for £15 million.....
