Those West Ham fans hoping to see Nene make the squad for Sunday's match against Tottenham would do well to consider these comments by the erstwhile Mr Allardyce in his Evening Standard column "We have signed Brazilian offensive player Nene on an initial short-term contract. Now we have to get him fit as quickly as we can, his scoring record at PSG was impressive and we looked at him a year ago before he moved to Qatar. As soon as he’s fit, he’ll be in the squad and hopefully he will have an impact for us."

West Ham have announced the signing of former Paris St Germain striker Nene until the end of the season, subject to international clearance. This is a David Sullivan signing that should make those who confronted him after the Baggies Cup defeat feel even more ashamed than they should be.

Injury crisis, what crisis? Hammers are bereft of almost half the first team for this vital fixture against cash rich Manchester United. Financial fair play doesn't seem to have quite kicked in yet does it? The haves and the have nots of football just get further apart, and the very ruling that was supposed to level the playing field has actually served to broaden the gulf in wealth.

Rumours are rife that Hammers are pushing for at least three recruitments ahead of the transfer window closing tonight. This sudden need for players is as a result of a catastrophic defensive injury list, the recent injuries to James Collins, James Tomkins and Carl Jenkinson. We will have any real news as soon as! Bloody hell, Carlton to the Baggies! Of course he would be ineligible to play for West Brom against West Ham in the FA Cup. This is not just Sky Sports , Associated Press have confirmed! -Ed
