Tomkins on his way to Newcastle

I can't see it myself. Allardyce would leave himself desperately short of cover in the centre of defence unless he has a replacement lined up. And, at the end of the day, Tomkins is not what Newcastle need.

Talkbollocks are trying to convince us that the rumour they started last week is true but I would say it is strong odds against personally.

Am I concerned as a West Ham fan? To be honest no, providing we source a reasonable replacement. Tomkins has not, in horse racing parlance, trained on. He will always be limited by lack of pace and I fancy he will never be more than a Premiership squad player, sadly.

Let's get some decent money for him...£5m+ I'd be happy with.

Pam was linked with Distain. Maybe he'll go for him then buy younger in the summer.

17.00,what on earth are you on about? Stani,what on earth are you on about? Signing another over 30 yr old? Paul connolly is only 29 and he knows george mccartney too. Plastic hammer can't be hear at the moment by the way cos he's busy satisfying his addiction to blogging about Leeds. He's done 3 today you know?

Personally I'd hate to see him go. A good looking lad like him is hard to find. When played in position I think he's a great centre-back. Would prefer him before Collins 9 times out of 10.

Besides the last game, Collins has been garbage. He's made a mistake in every game and centered around at least one goal per game (almost). Tomkins is the future. Not sure why we wouldn't start him, and it would be sad to see him go. With regards to his pace, he's a center back. Doesn't need pace as long as his right back has pace, which they should.

18:27,
What on earth are you on about? I only said Pam was linked with him and then suggested a possible solution to the problem you intimated.

Yes 18:27. You spend far too much time on them, you know HF. Do we not make you happy enough? :)
