West Ham finished up their pre-project re-start friendlies with what has been described as a relatively competitive 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at The London Stadium, although the play was hard but fair the game did have a bit of an 'old pals' feel about it due to two ex-Hammers appearing for the Eagles.

As we approach the first games of project restart there has been the inevitable surge in transfer rumours, West Ham United feature in plenty of them, it is quite astonishing to see some of the club's 'supposed' potential transfer targets. We have been linked with a whole bunch of them, from Adam Lallana and Thiago Silva through to Sami Khedira and numerous other over priced, over paid, past it players, and let's face it, Hammers' hierarchies past and present have taken that criteria to another level!

Sometimes the news coming out from the London stadium can be confusing to say the least, one moment we are being told that manager David Moyes wants to assemble a lean mean fighting machine of young ambitious players full of energy and desire, the next minute word emanating from the 'Bowl of Misery' is that the club are looking to sign the likes of Adam Lallana and Thiago Silva, who have a combined age of 67 years!
