There is absolutely no room for sentiment in the cut throat world of professional football, particularly in the Barclays Premier League and the Leagues below it, so West Ham United's pursuit of players who's club's have been relegated is par to the course.

Having by luck or judgement secured one of the best deals the club have made in the transfer market since the signing of Dimitri Payet, West Ham United are looking to add another Czech player to join up with Tomas Soucek who arrived on loan in the January transfer window before his move was made permanent following the club's successful battle against relegation.

When David Moyes arrived at the London Stadium for the second time he quickly confirmed that the club's prime assets were not immune from being sold, he went on to detail how the sales of Wayne Rooney and Romelu Lukaku went on to fund his previous club Everton's development for their future. His comments were quickly demoted by the club's official site as they instantly realised that the mass of sentiment against such a statement was so overwhelmingly negative that it was 'statement too far' that needed to be saved for the back burner, at least for that time.
