Bacca Sosa & Vermaelan Like Waiting For A Bus!

You know how the saying goes for those who can still afford to use public transport, "just like waiting for a bus, you wait an age for nothing and then suddenly three turn up one after another'. There are certain similarities between that expression and being a Hammers fan eagerly awaiting news of transfer arrivals, it's all quiet and then suddenly bang! Having secured the services of Gorkan Tore after a long and protracted deal, West Ham United have moved quickly in the transfer market to line up moves for want away 31 year old Besiktas striker Jose Sosa and Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen, the latter being a suggested season's loan due to his poor injury record over the last couple of seasons since his transfer from perrenial London sellers Arsenal
The powers that be at West Ham are obviously trying to replicate last season's extremely successful transfer activity, the bulk of which was taken care of early on last summer, and in addition to those already recruited fans can look forward to at least one major striker to join 'Super Slav's' programme. It is already notable that Billic is going to more often than not play a convoluted 3-2-4-1-1 system utilising the power and pace of Aaron Cresswell and Mikael Antonio as wing backs with Tore and Fengouli operating as wingers from either side to provide the ammunition for a 'big 'un/ little 'un strike combination up front, of course that is not to suggest that canny Slaven won't mix it up on occasions, but that seems to be the way he wants to go forward. It might be risky, so hold on to your hats, but it definitely won't be boring…The Olympic Stadium awaits! - Ed
