Loan, loan, loan could be the order of the day during the summer transfer window, as Hammers boss David Moyes attempts to do a 'loaves and fishes' with what will, at least compared to other clubs, be a meagre transfer budget. The club's need for a striker has become somewhat of a broken record, with Moyes apparently looking at over 25 players.

Having spent far too many seasons looking at L'arse end of the Barclays Premier League table, Hammers fans find themselves in the not unenviable position of looking at the top, not bottom, for the first time since the 'Payet' season at the Boleyn during it's final year.

Hammers fans who followed the 'massive' injury boost links will be slightly underwhelmed when they read that one part of the 'massive injury boost' is that Mark Noble will be available for selection, again. We know criticising 'captain Mark' is akin to stamping on a puppy, but the stats for when he has appeared are damning.
