      Horror stats behind West Ham’s transfer dealings show ‘Eastenders’ image of Cockneys is a load of old cobblers

      by

      TURNS out EastEnders is a load of old cobblers after all.Drop into Albert Square anytime and you leave with the impression that all Cockneys are sharp as a tack. Wheeler-dealers, who are no mugs when it comes to striking a deal.West Ham currently sit 17th in the Premier League table with just 35 pointsCredit: ReutersTechnical director Tim Steidten has come under fire for his poor recruitmentCredit: PANot if West Ham are anything to go by.Figures released by the FA this week reveal the Hammers’ hierarchy splashed out a whopping £19million on agents’ fees in the year from February 2024.That’s the eighth highest spend on the transfer market’s middle men in the entire Premier League across two transfer windows.And the only way they’ll get into the top ten of anything for some time.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe return on this sizeable investment is being fourth from bottom as a cheerless campaign draws to a miserable end.It’s only that the three teams below them — Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich — are so spectacularly awful that West Ham are safe from relegation.They have effectively shelled out £542,000 to agents for every one of their 35 points so far  this season.Over the course of the previous  summer and winter windows, they have blown in excess of £105m on new players — each with an intermediary probably trousering a hefty commission.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSAnd the reward is them heading for their worst finish in the top flight in five years.Indeed, they still require five points to better the 39 from 2020 when David Moyes rescued them with his  emergency appointment to clear up the mess left by Manuel Pellegrini.Michail Antonio given hero’s welcome as he returns to West Ham for 1st time since escaping death in horror Ferrari crashMajority owner David Sullivan and his peers back their managers unequivocally — they don’t sack easily and support them financially.It’s like having the Mitchell brothers fighting your corner.But player recruitment is a different ball game.Dot Cotton could have performed better in the transfer market than now departed technical director Tim Steidten.Take Guido Rodriguez. Signed on a free last summer, if the Argentine midfielder and his representative had any sense they would have demanded higher wages and commission because no fee was involved. That’s how it goes.Rodriguez, 31, has completed just three games for West Ham.The most recent, a 1-1 draw against Brentford on September 28.He was hooked 38 minutes into the 3-0 home rout by Chelsea a week earlier for “tactical” reasons.Guido Rodriguez has barely played for the HammersCredit: GettyNew boss Graham Potter is clearly not having him.Rodriguez has played a total of three minutes over the last ten games and hasn’t got off the bench at all in the past four.There are others like him at the London Stadium.It’s a similar story at nearby Tottenham. Only one place and £600k below the generous Hammers in their unwitting donations to the unofficial football agents’ benevolent fund, Spurs are in turmoil.Two points and two places above their struggling neighbours from E20 in the Prem, Timo Werner is approaching the end of his second loan spell, having been ghosted.Cut from boss Ange Postecoglou’s Europa League squad, one goal in 27 appearances, not played since the end of February. Savaged by the boss publicly.Chairman Daniel Levy can blame nobody but himself for not learning his lesson the first time around with German Werner, or from watching him flop at Chelsea previously.And the grim news for both of these clubs is that they will be there for the taking again this summer, because it’s going to take a whole lot more spending to dig them out of their respective holes.You can almost hear the sound of hands being rubbed together.Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest occupy fourth place, chasing a Champions League spot, having spent a relatively minor £13.5m on agents.Everton are above West Ham and Tottenham and on the up after laying out just £9.2m to the deal brokers.Newcastle and Aston Villa paid more in finders’ fees but are at least getting some bang for their buck.Read More on The SunFor anyone up North reading this, London’s streets really are paved with gold.You just need to become a football agent to find out.Tottenham also find themselves in troubleCredit: PA More

      Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron finally settle contract row over number of rounds just days before fight

      by

      BEN WHITTAKER and Liam Cameron have finally settled their public rounds dispute, just days before their eagerly anticipated rematch.The build-up to the pair’s second showdown on Sunday has been dominated by a row over the duration of their domestic dust-up.Ben Whittaker and his team tried to get his rematch with Liam Cameron to be a ten-round affair after his rival was mistakenly sent a contract for 12 roundsCredit: GETTYCameron has agreed to a ten-rounder and has seemingly been handsomely compensated for the mix-upCredit: GETTYCameron, 34, inked a contract for a 12-round affair due to a major gaffe from BOXXER’s bout agreement overseer.Whittaker and promoter Ben Shalom, however, campaigned for the fight to be a ten-round contest just like their first meeting.Cameron and promoter Frank Warren initially dug their heels in but revealed they’d be open to shortening the fight if there was appropriate compensation.And that compensation has seemingly come Cameron’s way as it was officially confirmed on Thursday that the fight would be contested over ten rounds.READ MORE BOXING NEWSCameron hinted on Friday that he’d received a big chunk of change for the mix-up by tweeting a mock-up photo of himself surrounded by money in a bank vault.Olympic silver medallist Whittaker first locked horns with Cameron last October on the undercard of the first undisputed light-heavyweight title fight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.The fight, controversially, ended in a technical draw as Whittaker was left unable to continue after both men tumbled over the ropes in the fifth round.Cameron believes Whittaker took the easy way out by not continuing the contest and has vowed to make him pay.Most read in BoxingJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSBen Whittaker sustained an injury in his first meeting with Liam Cameron following a tumble over the ropesCredit: ReutersHe told Sky Sports: “They’re hard 12-rounders.

As an amateur guy, what’s a standout amateur, I shouldn’t be getting to him for at least six rounds but I got to him straightaway.”So that was quite surprising. “He’s going to feel it this time.”Whittaker, meanwhile, is determined to silence his vocal detractors, saying: “Nobody wants blips to happen.”But I’m happy it happened in a sense where it’s brought me back to earth.”It’s brought me back to a position where I know the real me.”I’m cutting the distractions out. “Now I’m just back to me, back to my boxing and that’s when the best me will show.” More

      Athletic Bilbao 2 Rangers 0 (Agg 2-0) – Gers out of Europa League as Sancet & Williams strike after penalty controversy

      by

      ATHLETIC BILBAO’S stadium is known here as The Cathedral.But Barry Ferguson’s prayers weren’t answered.Oihan Sancet opened the scoringCredit: AFPNico Williams’ strike ended Rangers’ Europa League journeyCredit: EPABarry Ferguson’s side are out of EuropeCredit: PAIt was huge disappointment for Rangers in the Basque regionCredit: AFPIn the sensational San Mames, the Rangers boss was left looking to the heavens and asking if somebody up there didn’t like him.Fergie’s dream is over, it just wasn’t meant to be.It’s the La Liga outfit have advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League as they aim to get back here to their place for the chance of lifting the trophy in 33 days’ time.A first-half penalty from Oihan Sancet and a late header from Nico Williams left Rangers needing divine intervention that just didn’t come.Fergie could have no real complaints when it was all over.But at the same time it felt like everything that couldn’t have gone against him did.He watched one defender limp off injured at the start of the first-half and another one trudge off with a fractured cheekbone in the early stages of the second. Cyriel Dessers had a legitimate claim for a penalty turned down with Nico Raskin smacking the post at 1-0.Most read in Europa LeagueTo stand any chance of winning through, Ferguson needed more luck that he got – albeit ultimately Bilbao deserve their place in the last four.This sensational city virtually ground to a standstill for this quarter-final decider.Steven Whittaker One-on-One Hibs & Rangers hero on life with Scott Brown, collapsed Man City move & THAT goal in LisbonMen, women and children packed the closed-off streets for hours before kick-off.Thousands crowded around the plush team hotel to give Ernesto Valverde’s men a rousing send-off to the stadium.It was like the only folk who were working were in the bars pouring pints.Fireworks were set off. Red flares were lit. Cars horns were blasted by over-excited locals. It was brilliant.There was a massive police presence around the ground with gun-totting riot cops out in force. But zero hint of trouble.The 5,000 travelling Rangers supporters were up to the gods of the spectacular £178million 53,000 capacity arena.They were so high they were close enough to reach out to the stars in the sky and touch them.They all knew the odds were stacked against their heroes.Just as Ferguson and his coaching staff did too.He said all the right things in the build-up with the former club captain faultless in the way he conducted himself.Yet in his heart of hearts he must have feared this would be a step too far.There were actually two penalty decisions that went Bilbao’s way in the first-half.One Rangers were denied.Another the home team got.And while there could be no real complaints about the referee’s judgement on the John Souttar incident that led to the opening goal from the spot, there was justified anger from Dessers that he didn’t get one at the other end.The fact his jersey was ripped should have proved to the referee the striker had been grabbed by defender Yeray Alvarez.Instead the official ignored the striker’s claims and the VAR took no notice either.To make matters worse, Dessers was even booked for throwing his torn top into the dugout in frustration. Rangers needed the goalscorer to channel his fury and use it to spur him on but that didn’t happen. It was just galling for Rangers that they couldn’t hold out until half-time and prevent Bilbao from taking the lead before the break.They lost defender Ridvan Yilmaz to an injury early on and were forced to shift James Tavernier to right wing-back, Mohamed Diomande to left wing-back and and Jefte into the middle of defence with Connor Barron subbed on.Rangers player ratingsBy DAVID FRIELLiam Kelly: Superb first-half save from Nico Williams but no chance with the penalty opener or the winger’s emphatic header. Handling was good on the night and kicking safe. 6 Ridvan Yilmaz: Eventful, but brief, night for the Turkish full-back. Vital early block, nutmegged by Williams and then limped off injured in 23 minutes after pulling up following a sprint. 4James Tavernier: Captain held defence together for a long period after so many disruptions but then switched off at the vital moment as Williams stole in to finish the tie. Booked. 5John Souttar: Suckered for the Bilbao penalty. There was no need to stick his leg in and he paid the price for that one lapse in an otherwise solid display. 5Leon Balogun: Booked in the first half as the Gers defence worked hard and was then forced off with a facial injury minutes after the break. The big stopper looked devastated. 5Jefte: Left-back was caught on the ball early on but kept things simple after that and made some vital interceptions in a tough shift against top-class opposition. 6Nico Raskin: Busy as always in midfield as he tried to get on the ball amid waves of Bilbao attacks. Hit the post from close range as Gers almost grabbed an equaliser. 7Mohamed Diomande: Midfielder was asked to fill various roles and even had a shift at left wing-back for a spell. Gave everything for the team and ran himself into the ground. 7Ianis Hagi: Romanian was given the nod in one of the attacking midfield positions. Grafted hard but couldn’t make an impact on the ball and was hooked at the break. 4Vaclav Cerny: Czech winger has been Rangers’ Euro talisman this season and led the fight during a flurry in the second period after a quiet first half. Stinging drive saved. 6Cyriel Dessers: Fuming after being denied a penalty when his shirt was ripped by Dani Vivian in a controversial first-half moment. Booked for his protests but blunt display overall. 5Subs: CONNOR BARRON (6) on for the crocked Yilmaz and played well in midfield. CLINTON NSIALA (6) rookie stopper replaced Hagi and did fine on a big occasion. HAMZA IGAMANE (5) on for the stricken Balogun and fired wide in the final seconds. NEDIM BAJRAMI (2) late run-out at 2-0. DANILO (2) last throw of the dice.While they had next to no attacking threat in the first-half their determination to keep the ball out of their net was there for all to see.They were literally seconds away from running into the away changing room level at 0-0 when Souttar tripped attacker Maroan Sannadi.It was one of those incidents where it’s often hard to tell which player is fouled. But the Scotland centre-back was guilty of diving into a challenge he didn’t need to make and caught the striker on the ankle.The hope was that Liam Kelly would pull off more spot-kick heroics like he did in the first-leg.He’d been excellent until that point.But Sancet wasn’t to be denied.Ferguson had a job on his hands to try and convince his team they were capable of turning it around in the second half.Losing Leon Balogun just minutes after age restart was another blow – literally too – with the centre-back suffering a fractured cheekbone in an ugly collision with Souttar.Ferguson had made his second change by then, replacing Ianis Hagi with Clinton Nsiala which enabled him to get Diomande back into midfield.But Balogun’s injury forced him to change it again with Hamza Igamane thrown on. He offered far more than Dessers did but that wasn’t saying much.Rangers had to find a threat from somewhere if they were to level the tie and in 58 minutes they were inches away from an equaliser coming from the most unlikeliest of sources.Raskin isn’t known for his finishing.Yet he found himself into the penalty box with a great chance to score, only to see his shot saved and hit the post.It wasn’t to be.Read More on The SunWilliams powered a header past Kelly with ten minutes remaining after Tavernier was caught ball watching and Rangers had nothing left to give.Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page More
