“I think West Ham is an appealing club, a London club, we are certainly more appealing now than we have been for a long time and the job is to keep that going and to try to add to it.”
“I am really keen to add to it, the board are with me they want to add as well they're very supportive. So it's actually trying to identify the right players and bring in players who we would really like to bring here and go on the rest of the journey so we will keep looking and hopefully something will appear for us in the last couple of weeks.”
“I would like to bring some news faces in if I could to add to the group of players I have got. But we will try and do it as well as we can. At the moment the ones we are looking for or the ones we would like to get are either not available or we just can't get. We will keep looking and see what we can get between now and the end of the window.”

Brighton play with 2 up front.
Wilson is a brick sh!thouse too. Hardly little.
Sorry that was a grammatical misunderstanding.
I was commenting on how few traditional strikers are scoring lately and listing those three as the only three traditional strikers who are scoring goals.

traore for 15m -20m if moyes thinks he can improve him. ant and him would bully defenders to death. most of the time we play one up top and having traore coming on for antonio on weds night would have been great. obviously would allow us to rest antonio occasionally once traore develops an end product !
One in. Maybe a loan at the end of the window for a striker with an option to buy. Gabigol, think the Brazilian Season is only regional till May so if he turns out awful, he can do one back to Brasil and he will still have enough to get into the Brazil national team for the world cup. Decent, then we buy.
Then in the summer go for Cornet (Burnley) and Wilson (Fulham).

He will never develop an end product!
It's an interesting one, Traore, because I remember when Wolves signed him from Middlesbrough for whatever ridiculous sum it was (£18m or something?) he'd only had something like two assists in the Premier League before over two seasons with Villa and Boro, and in both of them had mostly been used as an impact sub much of the time rather than a starter. That carried on at Wolves, and he's only had one really exception season (4 goals, 9 assists) there.
Can Moyes and company turn him into a central striker that'll finish more chances? Would be possibly the biggest and best winger conversion they've done to date.

Its unlikely the club will bring in a CB permanently - loanee til end of season when we will buy a replacement for Oggy if he looks like being unable to stay fit.
Lingard still being pursued
Striker in the French league is being looked at buy again my just be on loan with option to buy.

Right understood.
Suppose teams spread goals around more but its an interesting point. Do you spend £35m on a goal scorer or does the money go on someone that creates opportunities for attackers in the team?
Suppose the answer is someone who does both.....
You wonder how Dean Ashton would do now.
He was a big strong target man but clever and could play people in. Suppose he could never really run the channels.

Bayo? I have a good feeling about Bayo based on absolutely nothing whatsoever.

They play each other last day of the season. It would be incredible if Carroll scored the goal that relegated Newcastle.
Not going to happen, Andy's most half-asrsed performances came agisnt the toon. Heart just wasn't in it.
