Viva Valencia

We've finally got Enner Valencia for £12 million, so let's hope he adapts from Mexican football quickly. Perhaps it was the prospect of playing with Ricardo Vaz Te that enticed him to Upton Park, suggests Michael the Whovian. West Ham have certainly spent some dosh this summer. Kouyate was said to be £7 million, Creswell £2 million, Zarate maybe £5 million (though undisclosed) and the £12 million for Enner brings us up to £26 million, which must be our budget spent. Five players out in Joe Cole, Collison, McCartney, Taylor and Diarra, but that's still a hefty investment, suggesting the board are really trying to turn things around this summer.

Looking good so far with the signings, still need a creative midfielder with experience and we have to actually play Valencia and Zarate not just go with Carroll

How about a right back? Surely we need a new one...

Yes MJ, we're down to Demel who's getting on a bit and O'Brien, though Guy should have another season left. Will do Carroll good to have some competition up front..
