Hammers board meeting to discuss January targets

West Ham will be holding their first board meeting early next month with the major item on the agenda being the winter window.

There is a definite willingness to spend money but the board members will wait for David Moyes’ list of targets – which hopefully won’t change – before making their moves.

Moyes is expected to have received and discussed recruitment boss Rob Newman’s list of targets by then but no names have been ‘leaked ‘ on any of  them.

However, a striker is still seen as a definite requirement of course but it remains to be seen whether Moyes makes his mind  up for a central defensive replacement.

Should he do so our seems likely that it will be a loan as was the case with Craig Dawson with few quality players being available in January.

The Lingard option remains a possible but is receding with the likelihood of a new manager set to be appointed.
