Don’t be misled – the Hammers recruitment has stalled

So far today I have read at least 10 stories from various websites about which players the Hammers will be signing this summer – most of them either Declan Rice replacements or a striker IF one moves or gets sold.

So it’s important that we remind ourselves of the precise position right now as revealed to us by a top Hammers source to CandH only yesterday.

The Hammers are nowhere near bringing in any other player than Carlos Borges.

It really could not have been made any clearer and came on the back of a very anxious inquiry by ourselves which, although off the record,   I can report brought a worried response to what is going on benhind the scenes.

A certain individual is being very  nervy and cautious re the window – and actually that is doing both words an injustice

As said earlier, that we are in a position where we are only apparently able to bring in a teenage winger is more than a  bit strange – good player though is is claimed to be –  given we need midfielders and a central defender. And I learned that not everybody was agreed on him!

Some believe we are okay at central defence but with Zouma and Oggy injury prone and Aguerd’s form proving iffy at times I understand the reasons.

We also need a left back and that we are letting Cress leave apparently ahead of getting even close to a replacement has one wondering what on earth our recruitment situation is all about.

Don’t be misled by what you are reading elsewhere – there’s nobody on their way other than the City kid and we wait for that to happen!
