Run of the mil.

West Ham United boss Alan Pardew will offer Milan Baros a escape route from Anfield in a £5.5million move.

Pardew is desperate to add more firepower to a hammers side thrust back in to the big time of the premiership.

Bobby Zamora who scored the winner in the play off final against preston north end is partnered up front by marlon harewood.

Teddy Sheringham has signed a new one year contract to play just behind the front two but pardew feels that his front force is missing the killer instinct that is why he will swoop for the Liverpool striker Baros to add that deadly ingredient.

Baros is a player of undoubted talent but is still not held in the highest regard at Anfield.
the Czech star leaves his team mates and the fans frustrated by his single minded approach to football and boss Rafa Benitez is now willing to cash in.

Baros would feel at home at Upton Park where his countryman Tomas Repka has just sigined a new one year contract and will welcome him with open arms.

Crystal Palace are favourites to land Steve Lomas who has been told that he can leave West Ham on a free transfer.

Lomas 31, has been training with the Eagles while he discusses a pay off to cover his final year of his Hammers contract.

Preston North End and Scottish outfit Hearts have also shown a interest in the tough tackling Northern Ireland midfielder.

Sheffield United have slapped a £4million price tag on Phil Jagielka, Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa both fancy the midfielder and West Ham have had two bids rejected.
