With the clock ticking down ever closer to the end of the transfer window there is always a feeding frenzy over players destinations and where clubs are doing their 'shopping', well it appears that Hammers have decided to do their business as close to home as possible for a club shopping in the non domestic market, namely in France.

Although even that statement is ambiguous because, although based in France, one of Hammers principal transfer targets Bamba Dieng is currently at the AFCON tournament representing Senegal who play their 1/4 final against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.

Why on earth would Olympique de Marseille even consider letting two of their star players leave during this transfer window? It makes no sense, but then a lot of football related transactions seem absolutely barmy from the outside looking in, things are rarely how they seem.

Three days remain of the January transfer window and as expected by many Hammers fans there has been little if any transfer activity, the 'mission' handed down by the Moyesiah has been one of acquiring quality, not quantity. So recent rumours of 'Huge'(o) offers for players have more credibility than transfer rumours that USED to emanate from the club, before the 58 year old Scot's 2nd coming.
