Quiet January to signal growing status

West Ham’s growing status as a “top club” will be reflected in the January window which is likely to be the quietest ever in the two Davids’ time in the game.

Unless injuries intervene it’s highly unlikely that the club will buy or even loan anyone which is a signal of their growing status in the Premier League.

A well placed source old ClaretandHugh: The two Davids have never failed to do business in January during their time at Birmingham and Upton Park. It’s almost a given.

“But such was the  depth of their activity in the summer window we are looking very good across the squad. The big clubs rarely buy in January”

“New arrivals remain a possibility as someone may go and a replacement would be needed and there’s always the possibility of injuries in one position.

“However, it has to be remembered that the entire wage budget is used, so unless somebody goes we don’t have a wage budget for a replacement.”
