Transfer Deadline Day. Or as West Ham call it; Tuesday.
Here we go then.
Sky were reporting yesterday that deals were unlikely at West Ham today. Moyes in his post-match presser last night suggested that there was a chance we do something to cover off a couple of injuries.
Personally, if Moyes is to persist with a back three, and with the number of games we'll have across the league and (hopefully) cup competitions, I think we need another CB and, ideally, a RWB. Another pacy attacker would be good too with Cornet, Ings and Scamacca still out.
But I think we'll end up not signing anyone. Shoots of recovery, albeit against Brentford's B team, Everton and League 1 Derby, may have convinced Moyes and Sullivan that players don't need to be replaced.
Besides, Chelsea may have signed every footballer on the planet before 11pm so there may be no-one left anyway.

Wolves have signed six, Bournemouth, Southampton and Leeds have signed three each and Leicester have signed two. Everton are the only team not to have signed anyone, but I think that will change today.
Obviously there are no guarantees that these signings will change the course of the club's seasons, but it'll be interesting to see. Wolves in particular, with a lot of new players to integrate half way through the season.
Yes we could do with a new CB but we have 4 senior CB for the 3 spots then Johnson/Cresswell who moyes has used as a CB in a 3 before
Cornet is supposed to be back in Feb, gives us a different option at LWB and across the front once he's up to speed
Ings/Scamacca are big blows but you can't buy a 4th senior CF when you play 1 up top
No issue with not buying another striker, but I'd like to see another attacker brought in on loan if possible. Cornet is due back, but it sounds like they won't know whether his treatment has worked until he plays a game. That to me is too big a risk given our predicament. So someone that can play across the front line, e.g. Sarr at Watford, would be useful, although there's no chance we get him on loan.

All quiet on the West Ham front; not a peep from any of the supposed ITKs, which with less than 12 hours to go is not a good sign.
Let's just pray to the Gods of Fitness that our squad can hold out for the next four months.
Probably nonsense, as CM is the one position where we have adequate (and fit) cover with Rice, Paqueta, Soucek and Downes.

The 17-year-old, who can also play as a full-back, is a Northern Ireland U18 international.

Fake news I'm afraid. Andrei Sodomic isn't even a real footballer.
