Don't wait up children go to bed because there's nothing to see here, Hammers spectacularly underwhelming transfer window ground to a halt this evening with not so much as a whimper, whereas most oPremier League clubs have managed to get their deals over the line, particularly arch rivals and direct Champions League competitors Tottingham.

Supporters hoping for a fanfare to herald in a new era at West Ham following the influx of Daniel Kretinsky's investment, will be sorely disappointed in the way that the January transfer window has panned out, failing to yield even ONE player! Even the French Press have given up on West Ham's ability to close deals, they recognise plenty of 'posturing' from the club, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, they also recognise it's inability to follow up the talk, with the walk.

Now that Palace have turned Jean-Philippe Mateta's loan into a permanent deal ahead of schedule, they are willing to listen to 'reasonable' offers for Christian Benteke's services, either on loan or as they would prefer permanently. West Ham have been mentioned as one of the clubs allegedly interested in the 31 year old striker and given the club's urgent need for a back up striker for Michail Antonio might possibly go for a loan deal during the dying embers of this transfer window.
