In what has already been described as a desperate bid to attract the attention of Premier League clubs, Watford's Troy Deeney has been 'bigging up' his goal return compared to that of Hammers' Sebastien Haller and The Toons' Joelinton. “I definitely still see myself as a Premier League striker, I scored double figures last season on one leg, now I’m over my knee troubles. I’m back on two legs,” Deeney told his fellow 'gutter snipes' and bastions of honesty The Sun.

Troy Deeney doesn't believe in kicking a man when he is down, he does it while they are upright and when they are down! Deeney is known for being 'outspoken' which is a very kind appraisal of a self confessed thug who knows he has to make up for his lack of ability by his physicality. Big man Deeney is also wary of plying his trade in the Championship because (a) there are players there who he has 'left his mark' on in the past, and (b) he will be the recipient of the type of industrial tackles he is used to dishing out.

Many fans were fearing the worse when it transpired that Troy Deeney was available at a 'bargain price', and knowing how dreadful the transfer kitty is were anticipating the "We have always wanted Troy to join the club and are pleased to announce his signing of a four year deal for an undisclosed fee". Horror of horrors it might yet happen, but his blatant critcism of West Ham in his latest outburst' combined with some extremely derogatory comments about the club in the past will hopefully have burned any bridges he may have had.

West Ham are desperate for players at bargain basement rates, but the club should still have a bit of pride, and consign Deeney in to the same folder headed 'D' that contains Daniel Levy. - Ed

Having of late overseen some of the worst transfer dealings the club has ever experienced, the current owners are exploiting the lack of live fans in attendance by making 'cost cuttings' that resemble massive surgery! You have to give them some form of inverted praise for the way they have managed to alienate fans and players alike in equal measure, it appears that the unholy trinity of David Sullivan, David Gold and the 'Sun writer' are hell bent on revenge for having actually spent a few quid for a brief couple of years, entirely contrary to their usual business model.

So as part of their 'final solution', the Hammers hierarchy are now attempting to 'expunge' any rays of hope that may have been generated under the 'Pelligrinophile', and indeed under previous manager Slaven Billic. Hot on the heels of selling Albian Ajeti and Jordan Hugill at a massive loss, and then 'sacrificing' Grady Diangana in a transfer that moved club captain Mark Noble to say "“As captain of this football club I’m gutted, angry and sad that Grady has left, great kid with a great future!” Grady himself said "West Ham was all I had known before last season and I’m sure people will understand that I felt some sadness at leaving."

Of course the club trolled out the usual excuse "The decision to sell Grady has been made reluctantly but – ultimately – in the best interests of the Club and with the aim to strengthen the squad in different areas at this time. The money received for Grady will be reinvested entirely in the team, in line with the manager’s targets. We believe that this will give us the best possible chance of ensuring we have a balanced squad to compete in the Premier League and capable of reaching our objectives and ambitions this season."

So to compound a truly appalling week, the club have now 'leaked' information via their pet unofficial website that Felipe Anderson is being offered, or more accurately touted, to the club's London rivals at a knock down price, with a £5 Million loan deal to Arsenal being 'floated', with the Irons to pay HALF of his wages!

The thing is in life chancers usually get found out eventually, and the saying "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time!" If the powers that be think they can hide behind the lack of crowd demonstrations against their ownership then they are mistaken, because people do NOT have short memories and will remember the assorted 'treacheries' commited with a vengeance that will not diminish but will grow and eventually come back to haunt them.

Surely their 'mission' as agents for the consortium that represents all of London's football clubs is nearly over, as per the remit, they have taken a once proud club and turned it into a 'freak show', they have made it 'homeless' and are now nearly finished at making it soulless, all that is left is for them now is to mortgage the hell out of the club, and then sell up leaving it well and truly fucked! -Ed
