West Ham could sign Authur Cabral from Swiss outfit Basel as early as this coming Wednesday, which would make him eligable to face Leeds United in the FA Cup and League double commencing on January the 9th. If you thought that the financial crisis was limited to British clubs, look again and see just how MASSIVE the financial fall out in Europe has been!

Imagine the scenario, you are a top flight manager with over 1000 games under your belt, you have redeemed yourself from a particularly squalid period of time and moved on to re-establish yourself as a manager to be reckoned with, your team is doing unbelievably well when suddenly the wheels come off the wagon, big time!

There has been plenty of media speculation regarding which players, if any, are going to join West Ham during the January transfer window. There is a perception that Hammers manager David Moyes, or 'dithering Dave' as he has often been labelled, has NOT provided head of recruitment Rob Newman OR the Board with a list of players he wants and has done nothing to ensure the club hits the ground running to avoid missing out on targets.
