I have spent the last day or so looking at what appears to be our next signings videos and he is a very bigman indeed much like Dean Ashton and also like Dean you think because of there size they really are just a BIG man upfront to hit but they are clearly much more than that and i see a lot of similarities in how they play.

Both score different types of goals not just the header in the box holding the ball up and bringing others into play good movement for big men yes i do like what i see and this young man is clearly a Moyes type of player something Haller could never be as he was never a back to defender to receive a ball lay off and spin.

I am encouraged by what i have seen of this player so i cannot wait to see him in a West Ham shirt but i also hope he does not suffer the same fate as Ashton did such a shame he got injured the way he did.

Well its good to see our injury curse is alive and running and now they are talking about Oggy starting against Citeh...they have been quite rightly managing his recovery from such a major injury now they want to rush him back with barely any game time preseason i see problems afoot...guess we shall see with our last friendly this weekend to come.

Time to bring it out of retirement? Declan Rice anybody?

Forest chasing Cornet now......i like him as a player and 65 mentioned him more than once this summer and at £19million a no brainer surely he could be the answer on the left side we are looking for but it looks like that will be well i say will more like likely/probably/possibly/maybe/a chance/of it being Kostic a smaller fee than Cornet but he is 29 so another short term answer........and if we do not sign anyone this week well man the ramparts i predict a riot!

Its another friendly and yes i know it is all about fitness and getting legs back but i have to admit there are a few worrying signs for me at the back in particular i thought Zouma was lazy at times plodding around is he carrying excess timber? Johnson this time playing centreback he also did not fill me with confidence....and christ the play from the back keeper to Zouma who got away with a few things today this simply has to stop we will give away so many goals if we do that during the season.

Soucek i can see why Moyes wanted shot of him he only scored again ffs...Rice really did not look interested Bowen looked busy if not doing a lot Coufal for me the best player for us today going forward.

Things to work on for sure and one of those has to be Antonios first touch it is woeful.....Benny boy quiet again Lanzini on for him but he was knocked off the ball to easy...yes it is a friendly but bloody hell we have one more game before the real deal and if Moyes and co are happy with what they are seeing then we are in trouble.

Finally the Rock has errrrr sorry went off on a little side road there! so fee agreed and only personal terms to be finalised and rumour has it its £49thousand a week expect bonuses for goals appearances etc but is this not much more sensible than the daft money you no who wanted.....now get a second striker in on loan if need be and give us much more options to change things around and make us a lot less predictable.

Our transfer policy has been nothing if not disastrous this summer with Moyes fawning over Lingard and failing now the same with Broja, Supposedly not that keen on Scammacca because Newman has scouted and put him forward a bid they say of £34million gone in for him.I go on record now and say Moyes will be gone before Christmas and Warburton his replacement.

The club has to answer to those who fork out a pretty penny for season tickets as to what is going on with transfers.The club cannot let this circus keep going yet another week goes by and no movement in sight i really am now Questioning Moyes ability to attract players.

If Moyes cannot get the players he wants and he thinks he has enough in the squad if he cannot then we will be fighting a relegation battle with Everton next season and we will be the losers...Dramatic you may say but we have gone down with better sides in the past and this constant Dithering in the market is now beyond a joke.

So when will the panic start?Moyes is like a frog in a pan of water with the gas on underneath totally oblivious to the danger.

Cant see him playing for England pissed too many many people off hope he gets what he deserves

Would you Adam & Eve ,taken off at Rangers with a damaged ankle .
The west ham curse strikes again .

Friendly or not certain standards need to be met and there were a lot of players this evening who were just strolling around.
Moyes has a lot of work ahead because we were shocking at the back and guess what our new Defender aguerd crocked himself thats going to be 4 weeks minimum i think.soucek the one man Moyes seems to want to sell scores you cannot write it can you.Antonio once more flatters to deceive.
Poor all round and we play Citeh in 3 weeks mmmm i am getting the cushions ready to hide behind
