Apart from the Mark Noble for England debate, turbo charged by BT Sport and other TV shows, there has been little of substance to report. The increase in capacity at the Olympic Stadium had been on the horizon almost as soon as Slaven Billic took over, his first steps on the pitch for the Europa League match against Lusitans seem a long long time ago, West Ham's subsequent success has ensured a vast over subscription for season tickets.

During this coming week end westhamfans.org will be having a system upgrade in order to speed the site up and remove certain annoying anomalies, these upgrades are long overdue but a 'quiet' period was necessary. As Roy Hodgson has deemed fit to ignore the likes of Aaron Cresswell, Mark Noble and Mikael Antonio for the England squad, we thought it would be a good time to do the upgrade. Perhaps the opportunity to recharge the batteries will actually benefit West Ham United's home grown players enabling them to take on the remaining fixtures with renewed energy and vigour.

Loan signing Manuel Lanzini has completed his permanent transfer to West Ham United from Al Jazira, Lanzini has signed a four year deal with the option of a two year extension, the fee involved is just under £10 Million including fees and add ons. The 'little jewel', as he is known by Lionel Messi and his Argentina team mates, has pledged his future to a team that has also just renegotiated and extended Check Kayoute's contract along with that of the mercurial Dimitri Payet.
