Whatever happens with the Diangana to West Brom move, the transfer window so far has proved profoundly disappointing. It should be acknowledged that the club has spent £39 million on signing Bowen and Soucek, but now it seems we're Brassic rather than at the next level. Celtic beat WHU to sign Shane Duffy on loan from Brighton, Crystal Palace outbid us for QPR's Eke, Aston Villa have beaten us to Forest's Matty Cash, Everton have signed Watford's Doucoure and it looks like Bournemouth's Fraser and Wilson might be going to Newcastle. All of these players could have been realistic targets for West Ham, but have been poached by teams we should be outbidding with our 60,000 fan base and cheap rented ground. And now it seems West Brom can sign our brightest young players. What is going on?
