Roll up roll up, the Sky sports wall to wall coverage of the 'final countdown' begins. Very few media events receive as much attention in the great scheme of things, but the remaining hours make for compelling viewing even if not initially wanted or desired. Last summer West Ham United did immensely well, and will be hard pushed to get the incredible bargains they managed, this year with the Barclays Premier League awash with the new TV money deals similar to last year will be almost impossible to find. Wilfred Bony on loan from Manchester City before he moves to the Chinese League in January looks a goer, but apart from that fans shouldn't expect any incoming transfers especially given the Zaza deal, the focus will more likely be on players leaving, with Enner Valencia being close to the top of the pile. Various moves for the Ecuadorian have failed, but sources at the club have confirmed that a move has been given the green light since 'gabor's' arrival. Although little more inbound activity is expected, Hammers co-owner David Sullivan does love a last minute deal if the numbers add up, remember a certain Michail Antonio turning up at the last minute, out of the blue a few windows back? There is always a huge amount of posturing during the window, a lot of smoke and mirrors and a lot of gamesmanship, that's why people love it!
We will try to post what we hear from our AP news feed during the remaining hours, and please don't mention Payet! - Ed

Mr Dicks ..
Well said a very good post .. How annoying isn't it just to see Bony going to Stoke on loan and Remy to Palace ! .. I have earlier posted on here that I think we will finish around 9/11th in the League this Season .. Hmm ..Think I will now say it could be around 10/12th .. As much as I have respect for the Club Owners I think they need to change their general approach quite a bit when it comes to the Transfer Market .. As far as our Signings to date go .. Ayew , Feghouli,Fletcher and ZaZa are okay "imo" have to say to date Tore is a massive let down considering Bilic was/is a massive fan of his and wanted him to join us last Summer ! .. As far as Carroll goes Lol .. "imo" He is an absolute Liability Injury wise so for me "When Fit" I would mainly just use him as an Impact Sub at best for 20/30 minutes the majority of the time .. It will also be interesting to see what happens to Sakho {Who I like} at the end of today .. Valencia who I used to also like has been a big let down since his Injury last year so hopefully he will be either Sold or Loaned out today !
