The season has barely finished for most clubs and transfer wheeling dealing is already extensively underway, West Ham of course are one of Europe's 'elite' teams who still have a trophy to play for. It may be the much derided Conference Cup but ask Jose Mourinho how highly he values the 'useless cup'?

Having been initially underwhelmed by the season's transfer activity, West Ham United's board ironically now want incumbent manager David Moyes to 'buy british', their opinion especially that of 27% stakeholder Daniel Kretinsky, is that buying from abroad is more economical but the bedding in process for a raft of incoming non british players is too lengthy and that the club don't want to experience another relegation fight!
