You would hope so. At least (like yesterday) not lose them by too many!

Kabak to Liverpool is being reported as having an obligation to buy of ~€30m.

I really dislike that clubs like Liverpool can just buy their way out of an injury issue. Same with Spurs supposedly going after Ings.

Anyway, seems we're done. Disappointed, personally, but it is what it is.

We could if we were buying useless players that the selling club is desperate to get rid of. Is that the kind of signing you want us to make?

Of course not. I want players we could use. I'm sure there are some out there, we only need 1.

We've done late business in a lot of recent transfer windows but this one isn't sounding promising.
Pretty frustrating if Maja is a loan deal, especially. Does Moyes not rate him enough for even to be loaned cover until the summer?

Said it many times since the beginning, would love Costa on a short-term loan. He's a nutter!

The Costa bid is rumoured to be Spurs to cover Kane's injury.

Costa is a no brainer even if he wants silly money.

Costa is the epitome of a player that should come to West ham.

Horrible b*stard, but he'll be our horrible b*stard. And we'd love him.

Wonder if Harry Kane is out longer than expected.
Did Costa play for Mourinho at Chelsea?

I honestly cannot believe there wasn't a decent loan signing available for 4 months. Maybe everyone knows we are desperate and pushing up the prices

Next fortnight will be telling if we don't get anyone in. Hopefully carry on well but another league defeat and out of the cup could see this place in meltdown again.

I just think players looking tired.

One game accepted but Vinicius did not look up to much yesterday so I cannot see Spurs taking up the £40m option in the summer. Would Costa be happy with a short term deal as opposed to wanting say 30 months though - that becomes expensive on his wages to back up Kane.

If Maja was a serious as opposed to newspaper target would think we would have been discussing a loan if Fulham are.

The Mourinho link probably works for Spurs unfortunately, but he would be ideal for us as a loan for the rest of this season.

Didn't Costa fall out with Mourinho at Chelsea?

Anyway..

We aren't signing Diego Costa.
