Hi fellas; I understand we are sniffing around Ochoa the Malaga goalkeeper; and dybala a striker at Palermo; I know all sites are saying we are certain to do nothing in January; I personally think there will be one to three moves; in or out; because we cannot leave it to end of season to replace so many players out of contract in 2015' Dear Ed; an enquiry has told me that of the last dozen games in Europe west ham scouts have attended. ; in 5 of those Liverpool scouts have been present; if they have no intention of buying anyone; why are they watching? Further; Italian newspapers are today stating will they -wont they on a ballotelli offer from Napoli; i'm just saying no one knows exactly but you say agents talking it up ; that's fair comment and quite usual practise; and maybe that's what it is in this case; I hear lots of what's happening at other clubs, but being a die-hard west ham supporter I generally stick to news surrounding my own club or relevant to it; trust you now understand me, regards IRONMIKE

{Ed001's Note - clubs watch players all the time, to be prepared if someone leaves etc, It means nothing. I have no problem with you saying what you know, I was just pointing out you can leave Liverpool out of the running for Song for now. Any talk of them having interest is nothing more than agents' work.}

Ironmike, plse keep doing your transfer rumours and updates. It's pleasing to hear that we are finally scouting all over the globe and different leagues.
Our current football plus league position should help in attracting good players.
The final bit missing to make it perfect at West Ham right now would be playing our youth players more, also in league games.

Our academy players need to see that hard work and endeavour pays off for them and they will get a shot at the first team squad.
Provided they have a certain quality of course.

Let's not forget!!

When liverpool get clobbered by the FFP ruling, they won't be able to afford to buy anyone as they will be paying off the fine.
I cannot see him wanting to go to Everton or Newcastle, he is enjoying life at the Irons and if we can get him on a permanent then that's great but if not then as a season ticket holder I am personally enjoying seeing quality on the pitch.

Pls continue informing us as you hear developments. Clearly from a West Ham perspective you have contacts with people in the know as we have seen some of these come to fruition.
