What is it with West Ham? Past serial offenders in the transfer market, the club look to have finally turned the corner with the appointment of Tim Steidten to oversee transfers, hoping to NEVER repeat the sort of deal that brought 'uncle' Danny Ings to the club in a deal that still sees the Aston Villa board opening each of their meetings with a 'rousing cheer' for the 'operative' who set the deal in motion!

Having already qualified for the knock out stages of the Europa League West Ham find themselves in the enviable situation of only needing a draw to avoid TWO further games if they can win or even draw tonight against Freiburg.

This week Newcastle AND Manchester Utd both ended at the bottom of their respective Champions League groups meaning that neither team will drop down to the Europa League. Therefore avoiding play off games against the teams that HAVE dropped down is all but essential!
