BBC Sport's website is reporting that West Ham have bid 4 million quid plus Matt Jarvis for Antonio but it is still well below Forest's valuation for the player.
I was talking to Pete Woodhouse before last night's game and he told me that when he first saw Antonio as a 17 year old he didn't think he would cut the mustard and looked a bit of a carthorse. He said he under performed in a cup tie at Ramsgate and was lucky not to be subbed.......but he can tell you the story better than me.

BEA......The only bit you got right in the whole of that posting was....Ramsgate !!
Pete - are you sure it wasn't Maidstone in the FA Cup? We did the double over Ramsgate the season Antonio played for us!!

Take no notice DaveM, it was just me winding Pete up.

Just signed for West Ham for a fee reportedly in the region of £7 million......Antonio that is, not Pete Woodhouse.

Pound for pound worth every penny. Peter Woodhouse that is.
Do not believe he asked for a transfer. So presumably has picked up a nice signing on fee.
Fantastic. Pleased for him.
Let's see if he can now step up to be a real force in the Premiership.
Has he phoned you yet Gary?

Gary probably got a healthy cut anyway - seeing as how he's obviously his agent !
