Lucas Neill has spurned interest from Liverpool and agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with Premiership strugglers West Ham.
Alan Curbishley is desperate to strengthen his team for their fight against relegation and has offered attractive terms to Neill, though The Hammers are reported still to be negotiating with Rovers.
"Lucas has agreed terms on a two-and-a-half year deal with West Ham and is looking forward to the challenge ahead," Neill's agent Peter Harrison is quoted in The Times.
Neill's decision to choose The Hammers over Liverpool will exasperate Reds boss Rafa Benitez who hinted for the first time on Wednesday that a deal for Neill had hit a stumbling block

WTF? West Ham over Barca, Liverpool and Chelsea? At least he will assured of game time I guess! Still, doesn't show much for his ambition IMO, hope he enjoys winning the championship next season  |

He has absolutely nothing to gain out of this. I'm baffled.

GBP 50k a week I read, the Mickey Mousers ONLY(!) offered GBP 20k and a week plus all the hub caps he can get at! He started with Millscum, so perhaps he likes the idea of London more than the North East?
It'll be a good signing if it comes off, but we will need more than him to stay up...

I guess he figured he wasnt leaving til the end of season anyway. And if west ham get relegated he can move without problems anyway. And the extra cash making it worth his while. He just has to make sure they get relegated  |
