    They have the £20m that would have been due for Zaza around this time if things had turned out different.

    Allegedly been due. ;wink

    Also, it might not have all been up-front payments. So it might not be an actual £20m in the piggy bank.

    Plus, if Dimi has been playing up, and they knew they weren't keeping Zaza, they may have been raiding said piggy bank for Dimi sweeteners. Where else has that money come from, do you think?

    West Ham and Southampton are both interested in Borussia Mönchengladbach right-back Julian Korb. [@kicker]

    That would've been pretty irresponsible given that if they knew Zaza was going, they would also have known we would need another striker.

    Just 4 of the 32 strikers that Gold & Sullivan have signed for West Ham have reached double figures in goals scored for the club...

    West Ham and Brentford have had a breakthrough in talks over the transfer of Scott Hogan. The Hammers have offered about £13.5m in total for the 24-year-old striker. (Daily Mail)

    That Irish Times article says that Payet wanted to leave because we haven't grown as a club by signing a striker. I thought it was family reasons? Maybe this is why people find the family reasons excuse hard to accept.

    Maybe his wife was so upset that we signed Calleri and Zaza instead of Lacazette that she moved back to Franr in protest... ;hmm

    still don't think we are signing anyone before the Boro game I expect deals to come after game in the run up to the City game on 1st Feb when window shuts.

    Broken promises last summer.....

    Then the family issues after........(it's not an excuse)

    IMO

    We've gone from Bacca, Bats and Lacca to snodgrass and Hogan

    In my opinion they would have tried all they could to get those three, barring offering fees the selling club couldn't refuse.

    What they did is overestimate the attraction of West Ham to players in that category

    The players they are now targeting probably reflects them shifting their expectations back to reality

    Excuse

    "Seek to lessen the blame attached to.."

    Seems to me that the family issues are pretty much exactly what the dictionary tells us an excuse is, whether true or not.

    (Yet again, I will firmly voice my opinion that the family issues are real, but the behaviour following is unacceptable.)
