Exciting & Exiting Times At West Ham!

It was always a case of David Moyes having a 'meeting of minds' with new technical director Tim Steidten before Hammers could really progress in the transfer market and it appears that is exactly what has happened as Moyes and Steidten's targets seem to have 'harmonised' in recent days.

Moyes appears to have given Steidten a free hand when it comes to negotiations for players Moyes himself wants as well as those the German has highlighted and conveniently there are players on both men's wish lists! Hot on the heels of acquiring a centre back, a defensive midfielder and an offensive midfielder Hammers are now in full swing as they are attempting to sign at least one additional striker and possibly two with En-Nesyri and Ekitike firmly in their sights.

Danny Ings has failed to impress although he hasn't been givemn much game time and despite giving 100% in both matches so far this season, there is a distinct possibility that 34 year old Mikey Antonio could accept one of several lucrative offers he has received from the massively spending 'Arab League'.

In addition to Antonio's possible departure, Aaron Cresswell looks done and dusted as an outgoing despite being on the bench for the Chelsea game and there is also a possibility that Pablo Fornals might be used as a part exchange for En-Nesyri, although Hammers have valued Fornals at around €20 Million which may well be a bit rich for En-Nesyri's cash strapped club Sevilla.

We may even send someone out from the Org to Goose Green on transfer deadline day because the journey might actually be worth it as this transfer window 'slams' shut. There are plenty of reasons to be cheerful, unfortunately Brighton will probably put the mockers on the current 'happiness' surrounding the club as they will be tough opposition as is in keeping with the club that is top of the Premier League, neither 'Bubble Boy' nor Alvarez will be ready to start the game but they will BOTH be available for the away fixture against Luton on the following Friday night. - Ed
