Davenport to be bombed out of West Ham after Zola bust-up

Calum Davenport is set to be bombed out of West Ham United.

The Daily Mail says Davenport has played his last game for West Ham after reacting badly to being relegated to the substitutes' bench against Stoke.

Manager Gianfranco Zola said he would not tolerate such petulance and will look to offload the former Tottenham and Coventry central defender in the January transfer window.

Davenport, who will be 26 on New Year's Day, had been told he was being dropped and replaced by James Collins despite having played his part in the 4-1 win at Portsmouth on Boxing Day.

The player thought he deserved to keep his place but the manager thought otherwise.
