Deadline day nerves

We seem to have started the traditional deadline day custom of West Ham being linked with unlikely signings to make us look ambitious. Unless Raphina has a release clause there surely won't be any way Leeds will sell him, and he plays in Jarrod Bowen's position anyway. Kalvin Phillips is another strange rumour, unless we're after a replacement for Declan Rice or plan to sell Tomas Soucek, which would be a mistake. 

What we need is another striker - even Burnley have managed to sign one now. Plus another defender to replace the injured Ogbonna. If Rob Newman can't find any strikers perhaps we could ask David Baddiel. So far the best WHU deal of the window has been my pal Nigel flogging his old prog rock LPs to his local vinyl shop... Just hope the club has a working fax machine for those late deals.
