Cresswell coming

More changes at Upton Park. We've signed Ipswich Town's left back Aaron Cresswell. At a fee of around £2 million his price isn't too high and at 24 he's young to improve too. Mick McCarthy seems to rate him, though it would be interesting to hear what any regular Ipswich watchers think of him. Meanwhile WHU legend Tony Carr, the man who discovered Ferdinand, Carrick, Lampard, Cole and co is moving upstairs and former Luton and Derby manager Terry Westley is coming in to run the Academy. It says everything about TC that John Terry, Big Fat Frankie Lampard and Joe Cole (then at Chelsea) all returned to Upton Park for his testimonial. You'll be missed Tony.

Tony Carr is a legend in his own lifetime. Hopefully he can still spot young potential talent for W Ham whilst performing his ambassador duties ! COYI
