Has anybody at the club ever said we were even interested in Dendoncker? Genuinely don’t know the answer.

Same old fan hysteria a la Scott Hogan, Ihaenacho, etc, etc.

Least they didn’t lie at Mansfield they got Ricky miller from Peterborough unheard of a club telling the truth

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I’m especially looking forward to the complete and utter outrage of the fans who had never heard of the guy until a few days ago and have literally never seen him kick a football.

Reporter outside OS says Hugill deal imminent and that is the ONLY signing today.

McHammer

Delighted with Ayew sale. Him and sakho both dead wood. Can we still pick up free transfers? Reckon we can get one more likely to play than those guys.

And how did he struggle doing that ( the reporter )... ;doh

Yeoldhammer

Sky Sports News reporter Jamie Weir has provided this update from outside the London Stadium...

"A deal for Preston striker Jordan Hugill is imminent - he has passed his medical and he'll be the only player West Ham bring in today, I'm told."

Yeoldhammer

go to bed

Huttonhammer

Sky saying Hugil is our only signing today.

It absolutely beggars belief. I wonder if Moyes really knew how poor our board is . He has been given an awfully difficult task now. So many injuries and 7 out on loan.
Moyes has a very difficult job now how could our board fail again so badly

EXETERHAMMER

Martinez now out on loan to Spain I hear

Just gets better and better at this club ;doh

I look forward to the daily mail and everybody involved in this rubbish backing it up and seeing it through. Utter cobblers imho

If that story is true OCS he should be sacked immediately. As director of transfers he isn't going to be missed.

thornburyiron

Jay I'm not sure what you mean

Thorn, I was referring to the reporter who took about 4 attempts, to get Reece Oxford, Burke & Makasi to their correct clubs!!

thornburyiron

We had a "wonder kid" last season in Fletcher, got rid in the summer and Middlesbrough have now loaned him out to Sunderland.

Huttonhammer

If somebody had told me that we would actually make money and end up with less players at the club at the end of this window I would have said they were mad.

So, is this Hugill signing, or what?

FlorinRaduclious

WINDOW CLOSED!!

Have we signed Hugill?
Have any others been allowed to leave?
Have we convinced Ronaldinho to suspend his retirement?
Or anything / anybody else happened on the down low?

Guess we'll find out in the next hour!

Don't go to bed.

IronHerb

Ex says it's a done deal and he's seen the photos.

FlorinRaduclious

But has he also seen the #tapes?

thornburyiron

The African issue is now all over Sky. Henry has got to be sacked immediately but of course he will claim it's the policy of the board so we are going to be dragged through the mud, if not the courts.
Let's hope it was just his opinion and the club can put the lid on this quickly with his dismissal.

ianbishoplegend

I am actually happy with the current team. The guy from Belgium looked good with right and left pegs, we don't play to his strengths though. I prefer Zabaleta in DM to anyone mentioned for sale. Really happy that Ayew and Sakho have gone. With the Portuguese fella, and Lanzini, Arnie and Antonio returning, we have a very balanced midfield. I dont understand the twitter meltdown at all. People seem to just want a champions league star signed for over 20 million, or its the end of their life as West Ham fans.

whupathman

He should have enough common sense not to come out with that rubbish, whatever the person telling him said, you just say we are not interested in a player, stupid man, stupid club doing this

welovethehammers

I'll be really frustrated if we recall Oxford from his loan in a month's time.

On paper the idea of him going to Germany is a great one. It gets him away from speculation and hopefully he can develop there. However in reality what has happened is there's constant speculation of if we want him, if we are going to sell him to Monchengladbach etc, if we are going to recall him etc. This constant uncertainty cannot be good for him. It's just mucking about and shows a lack of a structured, coherent development plan. Can't be doing him any favours and doesn't really provide him with much confidence that we want him. It's no different to being interested in buying a player and the transfer talk unsettling a particular player.

As I said, I can see Oxford getting a game or two for Monchengladbach and then we will unsettle him and bring him back due to lack of squad depth.

Sorry to sound like such a negative Nancy. I secretly hope I'm proved wrong.

Deadline gone and nothing about hugill ?

Last minute on deadline day and the player had been mentioned by nobody. Sounds like panic. He isn’t pulling up any trees at Preston. What on earth is there to say he can play in a struggling premier league team. One goal in four won’t help us.

I haven't seen us struggling in the last two months. In my eyes, we finally have a like for like replacement for Carroll. I think its a wise signing rather than panic.
