Just when things were looking on the up for West Ham fans as they anticipated a brighter future under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini, unwelcome news has emerged from the Argentine camp preparing for the World Cup in Russia that Hammers star Manuel Lanzini has suffered a severe Anterior Knee Ligament injury during training.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham transfer war chest is at least asthmatic and at worst approaching terminal given his recent comments, so the need for top class freebies will probably be the order of the day, much to the chargrin of many supporters who are experiencing potential player target ground hog day! Never mind, every cloud has a silver lining doesn't it?

West Ham landed their first signing under new manager Manuel Pellegrini with Ryan Fredericks having agreed to join on a free transfer, the right back earned promotion to the Premier League with Fulham last season but has signed a four year deal having turned down a contract extension in January when the club refused to meet his demands of becoming the highest paid player at Craven Cottage.
