West Ham United currently find themselves just a point above the relegation zone and have only managed one win in their last five Premier League outings.
To say the season so far has been a major disappointment would be an understatement and with David Moyes having returned to the club following the sacking of Manuel Pellegrini last month, the supporters hoped they would see some new arrivals in order to assist them in ensuring their top-flight status for next season.
According to the West Ham insider @ExWHUemployee (as he’s known on Twitter) and as relayed by West Ham News, it is believed that if any transfer business is to be done, it will likely come down to the final week of the window and that’s angered the fans who aren’t at all surprised by the reports.
Will West Ham sign anybody before the end of the month?
Yes
No

Easier to say it just didn’t get done in time, if you leave it until the last minute

By then we will be in bottom 3 having lost a few more games.

What do we think?
Given the clubs precarious league position, it’s clear that reinforcements are needed and Moyes will have almost certainly identified a number of areas in which he hopes to strengthen.
This could prove to be one of the most significant transfer windows in the club’s recent history as they look to pull away from the drop-zone and begin looking ahead to next season.
