Silly season is among us and each day brings many new transfer reports and rumours linking West Ham with everyman and his dog.
Claret and Hugh developed rumour rater graphic back in 2018 and this summer they are back again allowing us to use our knowledge and contacts to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Despite heading stuff with the word REPORT in front of headlines we all know very well that some are total rubbish and have decided to bring back a system that was very popular back then.
The rating start are very low meaning there is virtually no chance of West Ham signing them, low meaning 25% or less, moderate rates the rumour as 50/50, high means 75% ore more with very high approaching 95% certainly that interest is true and the player is being activity sought as an addition.
The Hammers have been linked with over seventy names since May, many of them have been offered to West Ham by agents, some are linked to West Ham by agents to generate interest for their client while others are being tracked by David Moyes or the scouting team. The final category is those on a closely guarded secret David Moyes transfer list.
