The Premier League has seen some major surprises in recent times, as the minnows have proved to be formidable, one of such was Leicester's Premier League triumph some seasons ago. It could be described as a one-off, but such a feat or something close to that might be cooking in East London.

Tottenham Hotspur under the attack-minded Pochettino have apparently broken the London dominance of Chelsea and Arsenal as the torch-bearers in the PL and the Hammers will be looking to dig in under the management of Chilean tactician Manuel Pellegrini.

Javier Hernandez or Chicharito as he is known to his millions of adoring Mexican fans, will meet up for the first time with newly installed manager Manuel Pellegrini at the Hammers' Rush Green training complex today, with all eyes on the outcome.

Some of the definitions of ruse are, a ploy, stratagem, tactic, move, device, scheme, trick, gambit, cunning plan, manoeuvre, contrivance, expedient, dodge, subterfuge, machination, game, wile, smokescreen or red herring. When Manuel Pellegrini was unveiled as West Ham United's new manager he, along with newly appointed head of recruitment Mario Husillos, were ostensibly given a £75 Million 'war chest' that in today's market was more of a transfer kitty.
