Ilan, the Brazilian striker from St Etienne has signed a contract until the end of the season. Meaning West Ham have signed three strikers on transfer deadline. Fair play to Mr Gold and Sullivan, they kept their word that they would strengthen us up-front. I imagine Cole and Mccarthy will be our first choice front … Read more
Slightly under-whelmed by this one, but I didn't realise he was only 26, I thought he was well into his thirties, seems to have been around for ages. I guess he is okay back up for the first choice of Mccarthy and Cole. Ilan deal still in negotiation, these things can happen after the deadline … Read more

Which I think makes it good news for the buyers, as clubs are desperate to recoup revenue they may have carelessly splurged in the past few years. … Read more
Well, it's been an incredible day, pretty historic if you are a Hammers fan. For the first time we got an understanding of the state of the club and how close we were to some serious trouble and selling some key players. At the same time, Sullivan and Gold have ridden into town, with Gold's … Read more
You can watch it here courtesy of the BBC…….recommend you do, it's fascinating viewing…
A very nerve-wracking 90 minutes there but the Hammers came through and I felt really proud of all the lads today. We set out very nicely with a 5 man midfield which stifled Villa's usual quick passing way forward, This was changed in the second half, forced by Kovac teetering on a red and protecting … Read more
Well, today was meant to be the day and they were right, it was a day but as far as West Ham's ownership goes, nothing is any clearer.
