Back to transfers, oh how I wish we still had the tumble weed emoji.
Doncaster Rovers have signed West Ham forward Mipo Odubeko on loan until the end of the season.
Elsewhere, I see that KUMBs resident ITKs (no idea whether they are or not) are suggesting that Sullivan and Moyes are at loggerheads over who to bring in. Doesn't seem to tally with what Moyes has said publicly so hopefully there's nothing in it.
Broja and Brereton Diaz are Moyes' preferences up front.
Diop wanted by Newcastle.
Caleta-Car a target but only on loan, which Marseille don't want.
Sadly, the only one I can see actually happening is Diop to Newcastle, because, you know, it's West Ham.
The Broja deal seems too complicated, with Southampton to appease and a potential buy-back clause in the mix. I'd be amazed if that one happened. Blackburn are in the running for the play-offs so selling their No1 striker at this late stage of the window seems unlikely (unless they have a replacement lined up), and I just can't see us stumping up £25m for him.
DCC is a strange one. We've apparently wanted him for two years, and were prepared to buy him for £25m in 2020 but he wanted to stay in France, and he was a back-up last year if the Zouma deal fell through, for a rumoured £17m. Now it seems like Marseille are prepared to sell, the player is supposedly keen on coming this time and yet we're not prepared to sanction a permanent deal this time.
Whatever happens, I think Monday is either going to be really exciting for West Ham, or thoroughly depressing.
'Barcelona now just one Britt Assombalonga away from recreating the famously unstoppable Middlesbrough front 3 of 2017/18. Scary'
Braithwaite, Assombalonga, Traore. 😳
Villa also linked with Phillips but they signed Calum Chambers yesterday and Newcastle are supposed to be interested in Phillips if they can't sign Brighton's Dan Burn
Not necessarily in the next 5-10 years, but still closer than we were yesterday.
Would absolutely take him as a Yarmolenko replacement, but no way is it happening.

Rinse and Repeat x100 and sign no one and ingest large amounts of COPIUM that surely it will be easier in the summer.
I just refuse to believe that we won't do anything. Given what's at stake (European football and the ability to retain and attract top players), it would be incredible to leave the squad as it is and expect top six.
Surely a signing is coming
