Alex Song has admitted he was disappointed at West Ham's inability to bring in any new faces capable of challenging for a first team spot during the transfer window.

The on-loan midfielder, who has settled into to life at the Boleyn well confessed that he was frustrated at the club's failure to land any of their key targets - or any of the eight players sought on deadline day.

"We know we have good players and a good squad but we were looking to have more players come in," he told Sky Sports. "It didn't happen so we have to focus on the players we've got, keep going and play the way we have been."

Song was also sad that the Hammers were unable to complete the signing of Emmanuel Adebayor, who the former Cameroon international knows personally from having played alongside him at Arsenal in the mid-noughties.

"I played with him for five years so I know what he can do," added Song. "So when someone told me he had the potential to come to West Ham I was very happy, because I know this kind of player can help us contribute to doing very well in the league.

"We need players like this. It didn’t happen but now I want just to tell him good luck.”

Adebayor's move to West Ham was halted by Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy, who whilst agreeing to subsidise a move to Queens Park Rangers but not to West Ham, as he views the two clubs as rivals for European slot.
