Sonny scarpers, Lingard stalls

Not a good weekend on the transfer front. Academy product Sonny Perkins has left West Ham despite an offer to turn professional, which has prompted a furious statement from the club, stating they are "disappointed" with his representatives and "strongly believe" the 18-year-old has another club lined up — which will mean the Hammers have to be compensated. Meanwhile Jesse Lingard is reportedly flirting with Everton and the Daily Mail reports he's asking for £150,000 a week. If Lingard can't scrape by on less than that at West Ham then do we want him? Jesse had a great loan spell here, but at this stage of his career should be moving for football reasons and not finances. Does he really want to choose a club that almost went down last season over a club that finished seventh and is in Europe? Let's stick to players who want to play for West Ham.
