The long awaited signing of South Africa record goal scorer, Benedict Saul McCarthy finally took place on the final day of transfer window deadline. A move that brought a thumbs-up from former Hammer, Tony Cottee who is thrilled at the prospect of a Cole-McCarthy partnership. Cottee said this, “Carlton Cole is a very good player and I would like to see somebody alongside him. A good old fashioned partnership.”
Looking at his goalscoring record, Benni McCarthy typically plays well in his first season at any club. He finished as the Portuguese League topscorer with 20 goals in his first season at Porto, amassed 18 goals at Blackburn in his first season and now...we hope that his displays in West Ham colours will be so spectacular that it will rival Tevez' contribution in that Great Escape.
