Franca set for Hammers bow

Mon, 21 Sep 14:25:45 2009

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola could give Mexican striker Guillermo Franca his debut in Tuesday night's Carling Cup tie against Bolton.

Luis Jiminez and Junior Stanislas will also come into the equation to strengthen West Ham's attacking options after missing the 3-2 defeat to Liverpool.

But the Hammers are set to be without Matthew Upson and Valon Behrami who were both injured at the weekend.

  1. Upside was Hines.. he looks special.

    I reckon Ashton­ is stringing us along for as long as possible before­ retiring.

    Interesting to see how Jiminez, Franco and­ Diamanti get on tonight, assumming GZ rests Cole and­ Hines (which I would). It could be a bit tasty, with­ all of them keen to impress.

    If only we hadn't­ sold our best CB. Tomkins is still looking a­ liability... should have been out on loan like Sears­ this season.

  2. Have we still got a drink culture at Upton Park? Our­­ players were finished in the second half, no fitness,­­ no engine, no heart. Liverpool were not better, they­ run the legs of West Ham, they­ were better prepared­ and fitter. Is this Ashtons problem, what's­ happening with this guy.
