Title: You Don't Always Get What You Want - West Ham
Post by: Scunner on April 13, 2011, 08:28:21 AM: "It is my destiny to be here. All I want to do is score goals for West Ham and make the fans happy."

- Benni McCarthy, signing for West Ham, 2010

Well, he scored 0 goals, didn't make the fans happy and just over a year (and 326 minutes of football) later, is gone...

On the subject of blanks there is another prem striker who hasn't put the ball in the onion bag yet - and he cost 48 million more :)

So he declined a £1m in January, then took another 3 months salary and peed off with £1.5m. He may be fat, but that's some smart business ;)
