Other clubs sign players in what seems a heartbeat compared to all the huffing and puffing usually associated with signings made by West Ham United, however rather belatedly the club have now landed what fans will hope is their 1st Marquee player, soon to be followed by a raft of further additions.

The 2022/23 Premier League season is just around the corner and West Ham will be looking to build on an excellent 2021/22 campaign. The Hammers finished seventh last season but were right in the mix for fourth and fifth place until the final weeks when their domestic form dipped due to their European commitments. David Moyes’ men enjoyed a memorable Europa League run that saw them crash out to eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 in the semi-final stages.

The fixture list for the Premier League 2022/23 season is out and as usual Hammers have been given some 'early challenging fixtures'! The opening game is Yes you guessed it, home to Manchester City on the 7th! Followed by an away game at what will be a pumped up Forest team on the 13th. Hammers final game of the season is away to Leicester City on May the 28th 2023.

Hammers also play Tottingham away on match day 5 and Chelsea at home on match day 6,

Sites like ourselves who have criticised the club for not retaining certain players will be eating a slice of Humble Pie as news has come in of what will probably be a career ending injury for ex-Hammer Winston Reid. A superb player on his day and believe it or not GSB's 1st Marquee signing!

Breaking News Chelsea At Home In Irons First 6 Games, although the fixture list is NOT due until 09:00 Hrs details are already beginnig to sneak out and as expected West Ham have been dealt their usual games against top six clubs to kick the season off.

At least the Chelsea game is at The Stratford Stadium..more top flight opponents await! - LN

The 'old' season has barely finished and yet next season's Premier League fixtures are due to be announced at 09:00 Hrs today Thursday the 16th of June. The season will begin a week earlier than normal on the weekend of Saturday the 6th of August 2022 and finish a week later on the 28th of May 2023.

West Ham co-owner David Sullivan is most definitely NOT everyone's cup of tea, everything about him is relatively creepy, but he is a GOOD business man, generally! But speaking of General(l)y his propensity for wearing Russian head gear clearly has to stop if it hasn't done so already, the fact that the Hammers current supremo is lining up a Putin like take over of his former 'territory' of Birmingham by installing a puppet owner is clearly indicative of how he sees 'projects of enhancement', never aggressive take overs!

Danny Drinkwater, who signed from Leicester in a deal worth for £35 Million in 2017, is departing Chelsea having not made a senior appearance for the Blues since the 2018 Community Shield defeat by Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. Drinkwater scored once in 23 games for Chelsea and left the club four times on loan spells, with the most recent being for the duration of the 2021/22 campaign in the Championship with Reading. Drinkwater also had stints on loan with Burnley, Aston Villa and Turkish side Kasimpasa.

It seems like an age, but the transfer window has only been open for less than a week and as expected the 'natives' are getting restless as fans right across the country scrutinise every scrap of news they can find out about the comings and goings of players from and to their club, mainly as to where those players they are acquiring come from and how much they cost.

For years every transfer window served to remind West Ham fans just how little investment there was being made in the club, as opposed to it's London neighbours. Virtually every time Hammers showed an interest in a player and it became public, either one or other of Arsenal, Chelsea or especially 'Tottingham' instantly showed an interest in said player.
