Certain reports are suggesting that the Hammers owner, Icelandic billionaire Thor Bjorgolfsson, is ready to bankroll a bid for Johnson but Moyes added that the Upton Park club still couldn't afford the player!

"The West Ham consortium wouldn't have enough money to buy Andrew Johnson or any other Everton player," he quipped. "And for them to think they could shows a lack of understanding of our game."

Moyes splashed out a club record £8.6m on Johnson's services twelve months ago and has seen an excellent return on his investment with the England man top-scoring for the club and earning rave reviews for a string of first-rate displays.

Moyes is right. They have lost complete respect for the game. They break the rules and think they can intimidate clubs that are far bigger than west ham ever could be. West Ham are just a silly sad london club that has never won the league championship.

Keep dreaming west ham... you will never have a class Everton player.

Moyes, what a load of rubbish you are spouting here. So you are saying that Everton is a far bigger club than West Ham could ever be! Oh really? Is that in the same way that Liverpool are a far bigger club than Everton could ever be?

How big a club is or how important their history matters little. If West Ham want to buy Johnson (and yes, they can afford him) they will try. If Everton choose not to sell, that is their right. It has nothing to do with class, cheating, money or anything else. If Johnson wants to stay at Everton, he will. Who cares?

The real lack of class here is yours with this unwarranted tirade against a club who have done so much for the English game for so long.

I like West Ham, they fans are kindred spirits as far as I'm concerned. But let's be realistic here, the 'Ammers aren't even sure which league they'll be playing in next season, they're in total disarray, and they only stayed up because certain clubs fielded weakened sides at the end of the season.

If any decent players choose to go to West Ham, it's only because they'll be offered huge wages.

And you can stick your bubbles up your....
