Well, Said Benrahma's move to Lyon seemed to have fallen through because West Ham didn't send the right papers to Uefa by 11pm. Lyon accused West Ham of a "profound lack of respect" as it all got rather heated, but it's finally been announced that the loan has gone through. Though looking at the lack of width last night Benrahma staying would have been no bad thing for the stretched squad.
For a long time we didn't know if the club had sold Pablo Fornals due to a "computer problem" but now the move has finally gone through for £6.8 million. Pablo's form had declined but he'll forever be remembered for his winner at Alkmaar and his part in the seasons where we finished sixth and seventh, as well as singing "West Ham is massive!" Adios Pablo.
Meanwhile the club has missed out on rumoured targets Osman and Jota. Tim Steidten was meant to have professionalised WHU's recruitment, but the glitches on deadline day hardly suggest that. Maybe the club fax just run out of paper. It's one in and three out this window which leaves a too small squad, though Kalvin Phillips should eventually prove a good signing. Hopefully the dealings will be smoother in the summer.
