West Ham have made a massive signing - in terms of letters at least. Konstantinos Mavropanos at around £20m from Stuttgart is the first ever Greek international at West Ham. Dinos, as he is nicknamed, was a cult hero at his former club and scored some cracking long-range goals. And the defender had eight games at Arsenal in the PL as a 20-year-old before being loaned out. Better to take a punt on a Greek bewaring gifts than on Maguire, who never seemed to fancy playing for the Irons.
While Mavropanos has to have the longest combined name of any West Ham player ever. My pal Matt is going to get his name on his replica shirt once the IMF approve the loan. While I'd say Demba Ba is probably the player with the shortest surname ever to play for the Hammers. Not that any of us like trivia.
