You know how it is, you wait ages for a bus and then suddenly three turn up, well having 'lost' three coaches with no apparent reinforcements on the horizon, David Moyes now has a full coaching staff again following the recruitment of John Heitinga, Mark Robson and Henry Newman as his first-team assistants.

Heitinga, Robson and Newman join Billy McKinlay, Kevin Nolan and goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero to complete the manager’s coaching staff for the 2023/24 campaign.

Life is full of compromises and sometimes it is better to compromise rather than be compromised. West Ham have had a best start equalising run so far this season and their performances have attracted 'unwanted' attention from clubs around the globe, none more so than the free spending Saudi Pro League.

Al-Ittlhad are the latest club from the Pro League to show a keen interest in Hammers players and are actively looking to push through a 'couple of deals' before their transfer window closes. Players can still move there from the Premier League, but not vice versa.

Although the transfer window was a considerable success for West Ham, there are still those who are bemoaning the lack of arrivals 'up top' to replace Gianluca Scamacca and act as back up to big Mikey Antonio and Frankenstein hairline Danny Ings.
