For many long suffering Hammers fans anyone mentioning their club 'blowing a club out of the water' that was the size of Juventus over a transfer deal would have been met with howls of derision!

However it has just happened, No really it HAS Happened! West Ham's 'smiling assasin' Tim Steidten has just ensured yet another 'head of procurement' will be having an uncomfortable evening and night as they come to terms with being bludgeoned without even realising it!

While Manchester United are busy trying to flex their transfer muscles by attempting to send out a "we aren't going to be stiffed on transfer" message, Hammers are forging ahead in their player recruitment and have let the Mancs stew in their own juice over the will he or won't he? Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham deal.

Julen Lopetegui and Tim Steidten have been working wonders as they set about recruiting virtually an entirely new team, one area in particular that was in urgent need of an overhaul was Hammers creaking defence that 4th worst in the League.

The other area in need of improvement was the forward line with only an ageing but still useful Mikey Antonio and an incredibly overpaid Danny Ings who managed just FOUR Prem goals since he arrived from Villa in what must have been the deal of the century for the Villa directors of football!
