Not often that a player signs for two clubs in one day. Carl Jenkinson has signed a five-year contract at Arsenal and also agreed a season-long loan to West Ham. So plenty of signings this summer in Payet, Ogbonna. Obiang, Jenkinson, Randolph and Scottish left-back Stephen Hendrie (which was agreed last season). Meanwhile the club have launched the new away kit. Not sure about the slab of claret across the light blue shirt, prefer the old-fashioned twin hoops. But guess it could have been worse… the new kits can be pre-ordred from the
West Ham store.

Agree that it is good news re Jenkinson. I would guess Arsenal are waiting to see if Bellerin has another good season - if so, we may sign Jenko next summer.
Re the kit, the club says: "Featuring a sky blue body, with a claret band across the chest, the shirt mirrors that worn by the Hammers between 1901-03, which established the colours that have graced the Boleyn Ground ever since." Do you not remember that kit, Pete? Back in the days when the menu at Ken's featured gruel,rice-milk and steamed hominy....
In other news, we have a chance to make Birks of ourselves against the Maltesers tomorrow - is it right that part-time Pete may actually show up for this one?
Of course I'll be there, think we have a full house for the Maltesers. Despite the historical precedent I still like the twin hoops because it reminds me of endless away defeats in the 1970s…
Went on the official website to find out when we acquired Martin Samuelsen but couldn't find him on the academy, development squad or first team squad details. Anyone know - if you do can you let WHUFC know so they can update the website please.
Looks like we got I'm on June 20 from Manchester City… looked handy at Peterborough friendly, where he scored.
