Hammers transfer silly season in full swing

The silly season is now truly is full swing for West Ham this January transfer window.

The latest amusing link today is ‘West Ham are ready to make a move for Milan striker Mario Balotelli’ from our friends over at the Brentwood Gazette. The rumour has since been reprinted by the Daily Express.

It is the same Brentwood Gazette who today claimed West Ham are set to miss out on Spurs winger Andros Townsend who instead favors a move to Newcastle.

They also said today that West Ham has fallen behind Watford and Crystal Palace in the race to sign former Spurs and Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. That old chestnut! 

Finally today, that West Ham has joined Sunderland in the race to sign Swansea winger Andre Ayew.

It is the same publication that yesterday said the Hammers were set to make a move for QPR striker Charlie Austin after the latest Carroll injury. Bilic himself ruled out any move for Austin the week before and Southampton signed him today.

We think you forgot to link us for a return home for Carlos Tevez from Boca Juniors to the Hammers.

We salute and thank you Brentwood Gazette for keeping us amused during this rather quiet and dull transfer window.
