The Scott Parker move is an interesting one. I saw on SSNews that the Sheffield United Chairman was upbeat about being reinstated to the Premiership at West Ham's expense. The matter goes to arbitration 2 weeks today and I wonder what happens to West Ham if the worst comes to the worst.
I mean how can they afford to lay out such sums of money on players if they end up in the Championship. It's a high risk game they are playing at the moment, whilst the matter is still up in the air.
And you can add this one to that as well:

There would be hell on at Everton if they were to let Johnson go. Cant see it. I heard that the Hammers were coming in for Cahill and Johnson, cant see the board allowing them to leave. Would send out a very very bad signal to fans if they were premitted to leave.
