West Ham’s winter window plans are still in a place of uncertainty with little or no progress made on the striker requirement and with a central defender still not tied down.

David Moyes has claimed publicly that he can see some activity across the League in the last couple of weeks but with 12 days left we are apparently still struggling to get involved.

Moyes has failed to agree on any of the options he has had put before him although we have been told “there is a the possibility of one big signing but not necessarily really a position we need.”

The secrecy surrounding West Ham transfer dealings under Moyes continue to fascinate but our key insider’s revelation that we may be signing a player for a position where we are ok is odd given the circumstances.

However, the manager is still hunting for a suitable central defender although given the circumstances it seems that neither James Tarkowski or Nathan Phillips is seen as the answer.

He is also explaining to his backroom staff and the board that the names he has seen aren’t any better than we already have in his opinion.
