Think Ferguson on loan is a smart move and pretty risk free, doubt we'd see a permanent move unless we shift Antonio or Ings which I doubt happens till the summer
You have to imagine Fullkrug will be back at soke point, surely, so we do have 3 #9's at the club
Muani is a more likely permanent signing so maybe there is something there, but even though he's struggled he won't be cheap
Think this month will be key in seeing how we approach the winter, wouldn't surprise me if it's a very quiet window
The Cherki move doenst make sense to me either, he's predominantly a RW and he's not better than Bowen even if Kudus left
I certainly hope he signs it. I love the guy, great attitude and along with Dawson our best value signing of the last few years. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't as is not going to get as much game time now and may not be on the best wage at present.
I always recall Moyes remark when putting his name forward as the squad member most likely to make it in management, so he clearly has something about him off the pitch also.

Those two would solve a lot of problems and leave a better balanced squad fot the next manager 😉

West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui is confident that Lucas Paqueta's future lies at the London stadium. The 27 year-old has been linked with a return to his boyhood side Flamengo and posted a cryptic message on social media before Monday evening's Premier League clash. The midfielder kissed the West Ham badge after scoring the winner against Bournemouth on Monday. "Did you see the match he did? I think this is the answer," Lopetegui said when asked about Paqueta's future. "The commitment and behaviour that he showed was 100 per cent with us. The only future I can think about him is he has to be ready for the next big challenge we have against Brighton. "He showed very, very good behaviour and we are very happy with him." Paqueta himself reassured the fans that he is happy in East London, saying after the victory: "I love to play here with West Ham. I love these fans. With the coach, we have the same way. "For me, it's very, very important to play. I like to play every day, every week. I am happy, I try to improve and focus on the next game."
'Arsenal targeting West Ham star' Arsenal are weighing up a move for West Ham star Mohammed Kudus, according to talkSPORT. The Hammers will reportedly consider the sale if they receive a "big-money" offer in January, although Arsenal would likely need to sell players in order to fund the deal. Kudus is said to have an £85m release clause in his current contract at the club, which runs until 2028.
Kudus is a good player and I can see why someone would want him but we do have other creative options in midfield - My opinion has not changed, I would be happy to let him go for 85m, especially now given the injury to Antonio, we need a strong option up top and they do not come cheap.

Brighton ahead of the game as usual
West Ham defender Luizao is attracting interest from Brazilian side Internacional heading into the January transfer window.
Lucas Paqueta dropped a cryptic transfer hint just minutes before West Ham's clash against Bournemouth.
He wrote: "I'm not from here.
"I will return home.
"He comes to get me, and with him, I will go!"

According to Google, this translates as:
I’m not from here
I will return home
He comes to get me and with him I will go!
However, it appears that these are just lyrics to a Brazilian gospel song. Fabrizio Romano, stand down.
