The two David's and SB have bought in 13 players and according to one source with the 5mill from Downing at an expenditure of just over 20mill. Nearly all of these players are first teamers with experience in the big leagues so the battle for first team places is going to be exciting to watch. With the eight or so players we have from last seasons window it shows the David's are really planning for the future and I for one am very excited. Being in Australia it's hard not to be jealous of all you supporters over there being able to go to the games especially this season as we draw closer to leaving our home at Upton Park but the move next season shows our intent to establish West Ham United as a force in the Premier league and that's fantastic for us supporters. I won't be able to get to any games this season but I have already started planning my holidays to come over for the first game at the Olympic stadium. Can't wait.
As a matter of interest I would like to know which of the new players excites the most , for me the ones that have played against Liverpool where fantastic but the one that impressed me the most was Lanzini, he never stopped running and his goal was a great way to show that he is here to play.Thoughts please .

Options at last, happy for Bilic

Firstly I'm not going to arse lick the owners, they've eventually backed the manager today although why that couldn't have happened 2 months ago only they know, personally I think business needs to be done early so that pre season is a time for bedding in, hopefully they'll hit the ground running. More importantly we've made some decent signings that have at last given us some options and some much needed width in the squad....you could say a squad big enough for a European campaign but we won't talk about that.
Just wondering who you all think will be the strongest starting 11 from this squad we've built, I think midfield is going to be interesting, plenty of competition there now so whoever gets the shirt is going to have to play well to keep it, far different from the competition we've had in recent years, so what's your best line up?

What a window, is this our best ever, better even than the Tevez / Mascherano one?

Able to challenge the first teamers we have Randolph, Ogbonna, Jenkinson, Payet, Lanzini, Obiang, Moses, Antonio and Song.

On top of that some decent squad players like Hendrie and Samuelson.

And don't forget, Bilic in, with whatever you may think about Allardyce, as a set of fans, we are massively behind in a way that we never were with Big Sam.

Hats off to the board... unless anyone thinks it was panic buying after the last two results and recent injuries?

Michail Antonio Joins The Billic Revolution

Many Hammers fans were voicing their discontent at the club's lack of ambition in the transfer market, but the two Davids and madam K have done the business, so a fair amount of humble pie should be on the menu tonight! Alex song, Carl Jenkinson and Victor moses are all only loanees, but Michail Antonio is a full on four year signing and will bring pace and power to Billic's side. Some may be underwhelmed by the addition of Jelavic from Hull as a striker option, but realistically he has been signed on a two year deal as back up to the much injured Andy Carroll. There is also still a chance Adebayour might arrive, although that would depend on him having his contract terminated by Tottenham, if that was the case there would be no need to tie up the deal during this transfer window as the player would have become a free agent. Do west ham fans want Adebayour? - Ed

Deadline Day...

Look, I comment from afar and don't get to see all these very exotic sounding players week in week out and haven't got a clue who half, no, a quarter or an eighth of them are. Do any of us out here in internet football bossland?
I didn't have a clue who Lanzini was til Sunday morning (SYD time)...and Kouyate...a revelation last season, a cult hero this. Tomka at RB have a word...and Noble as Captain Courageous.
We're 'having it people. We have a coach and a team of people behind him that are starting this revolution leading to our move to the OS. Who knows if he was 5th choice but he would have been my first if I'm honest. Any bigger name would have had too much pressure. SB and his team will make us a force to be reckoned with.
I digress...
I am looking forward to some new additions. We all know they ain't gonna be superstar exotics, but playmakers, and I won't be unhappy if they can fight for a place in a side that beat the Micky Mousers on the weekend.
Lets hope the two Dave's and two R's can pull off some good moves tonight/today.

What did people who saw the whole game think of this lad? I've heard some people make some very impressed comments about him. Apparently made 3 or 4 vital tackles right after Noble was sent off that prevented the bindippers maybe getting a sniff of getting back into the game.

Holy Moses Give Us A Song, We're Running Out Of Loans!

After a series of protracted medicals and complex loan negotiations, despite being injured, Alex Song has returned to the Boleyn from parent club FC Barcelona, the midfielder's arrival uses up one of the loan berths available to West Ham United under the transfer system, Carl Jenkinson has already been signed on loan from Arsenal for another season. Hot on Song's heels is the impending arrival of another loanee ,Victor Moses, from Chelsea who is apparently under going a medical this morning with a view to joining Slaven's away day wonders.
Song, Moses and Jenkinson are all loan players, which does not leave much room when it comes to further player recruitment. The club will have to make permanent signings or look to players who are out of contract after the window closes this evening. - Ed
