Chelsea Want Parker on a Permanent Deal

West Ham have quoted a loan fee of £4 million to Chelsea to take Parker for the forthcoming campaign and will also demand his £65,000-a-week wages are paid in full.Chelsea will not offer to pay so much for a loanee, and, in truth, West Ham would have accepted less, although certainly more than £2 million.
However, Chelsea are now debating whether to sign Parker on a permanent basis — he is available for £8 million — after Aston Villa, in particular, stepped up their pursuit.
Indeed it could be that Chelsea have to raise their bid to £9 million, which would be remarkable given they acquired Parker in 2004 for £10 million and then sold him a year later for around £6.5 million to Newcastle United.
It is understood that Parker, who still lives close to Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham, Surrey, is keen to join his former club and although West Ham were interested in a loan deal it may be best for the Championship club to agree a permanent transfer for the 30 year-old if their demands are met.

Chelsea Set to Resign Scott Parker

Chelsea are being linked with a shock move to re-sign Scott Parker from West Ham following another injury setback for Michael Essien.The Blues are sweating on the full extent of the midfielder's latest fitness concern which happened on the training ground on Thursday, before pressing ahead with moves into the transfer market.However, privately club officials are already fearful of a recurrence of the 28-year-old's anterior cruciate ligament injury, which would mean another lengthy lay-off for the Ghanaian, who has experienced two serious knee problems in the last few years.Parker, who seems certain to quit the Hammers before the start of the new season following the club's relegation, struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge during an 18-month spell between 2004-2005.However, he is now regarded as one of the best English midfielder in the country, and with Spurs and Aston Villa also keen, the Blues will need to move quickly for the £5m rated star, who has already been the subject of one bid from Turkish club Fenerbahce.

West Ham Stuck With Scott Parker?

West Ham are struggling to offload their captain Scott Parker with Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal all recently giving up any serious interest the heavily in debt East London club had hoped that Parker would sign for Turkish outfit Fenerbahce for a cool £10 Million, that potential deal now also looks dead in the water.Relegated West Ham are in desperate need of some cash and the sale of Parker would have seen a nice injection, however with Parker to be 31 years old this year and with West Ham relegated and viewed as a club forced in to a sale, it was always going to be a long shot to realise a fee of £10 Million.Both Arsenal and Tottenham simply refused to pay that sort of fee for a player on the other side of 30 and unless a team with more money than sense enters the fray, West Ham will either have to lower the price or keep a hold of a player on a big wage.

Chances are that Parker will be sold, but not for £10 Million.

Redknapp Closes In On West Ham Midfielder Scott Parker

Harry Redknapp looks set to sign West Ham midfielder Scott Parker but will not complete a deal until Daniel Levy sees the North London side offload some of the club’s expansive squad before he will allow the addition of any new faces to the White Hart Lane squad.Wilson Palacios had a poor season last term during which time the Honduras international looked a shadow of the player who had helped Tottenham break into the top four and a move to Napoli, who have qualified for Champions League football next term, would be a good one for the defensive midfielder.Redknapp will also be looking to find buyers for winger David Bentley, cultured playmaker Niko Kranjcar, striker Robbie Keane and midfielder Jamie O’Hara as the Tottenham boss prepares to make way for a few new faces this summer.More importantly the Spurs manager will fight tooth and nail to keep the club’s much sought after talent and will not entertain offers of any size for the likes of Gareth Bale, Rafael Van der Vaart, Luka Modric or Sandro but knows in order to balance the books he must sell a significant number of squad players if he then wants to improve problems areas at the club.
Having brought in Aston Villa keeper Brad Friedel to replace error prone Brazilian Heurelho Gomes, Redknapp will also be looking to bring in new striker options and will hope to beat off prospective suitors to sign West Ham’s Scott Parker to help add more steel to his midfield.
