Tim has what he wished for a manger who will happily work alongside him and and let him do his job but with the Euros dragging on and the new man wanting our business done early you start to wonder if Tim is struggling a bit?

Of course the silly number of players we are linked with is just gossip and site driven talk but you do have to wonder where and when will our next signing be.

Full backs centre backs wingers strikers all said to be required but Tim is struggling to move certain players out and i am sure he is under pressure from Sullivan to make sure we are not weighed down with big wage players until the likes of Ings/Zouma/Aguered can be moved out which is proving very challenging right now.

So Tim like pundits and fans of other clubs constantly hurled at West Ham fans last season "be careful what you wish for" as all eyes are squarely and firmly set on you.

We are so used to our business being an open book for all to see having someone like Tim take charge until his fav sources confirm deal all but done we will know very little and really that is how it should be.

I think its still relatively early days. I stopped looking at the gossip transfer nonsense, 95% is made up particularly from the now many West Ham bloggers just looking to fill 10 minutes of mainly random chat (question, why so many of them from Scotland?)

I have faith in Tim, if he's allowed to do his job. We still want a club with good fiscal awareness so shipping out high cost low performers is very sound business.

Those you tubers boil my piss. Why anyone watches that shite or listens to those wet wipes is beyond me. I think even I was linked to us last week and I had a run of games in the isthmian league in 1987 ...........

You are joking? My mates used to go there every evening for chips and 50p in the fruit machine. My mates brother even got a job in there. Virtually ran the place!!!

Cannot believe the business we have done this past week and you have to hand it to Tim my God the players we needed were quite a few and he has certainly done the job he is paid to do.....with the Moyes obstacle removed we are seeing the fruits of his labour....wonder how the old Dinosaur feels now seeing the players we have got coming through the door.

Rumours still going we want more in which clearly means a lot more players to be shipped out.....we all know they want to move Ings on because of the wages he is one but little chance of a big fee if anyone is tempted..maybe Bournemouth could be tempted? Coufal Soucek JWP and now Mavrapanos and Aguerd who has since been changing his mind about leaving but his showings in preseason have been poor and i reckon he will be gone as well..that is a lot of business to be done if all true and will also mean more than one coming in other direction...the whole squad will be demoyesed and thank God for that and none of us expected a window like this but clearly from the off Jlo said we are a big club and intend to make a big noise in the league....well judging from the bleating from the spuds fans we already are COYI

Can't see both Mavrapanos and Aguerd going unless both are replaced. We've found out with Moyes that threadbare squads leave players exhausted at the business end of the season or we're only one long term injury away from disaster. I see all the players you mentioned staying unless replaced.
As a side note I'd like to begrudgingly applaud the dwarf for sanctioning so many players coming in. Make no mistake I still want to see the back of him but he's supported Steidton and loopy in getting in some quality replacements for the tired dross we were left with from Moyes.
