Fuming is not the word I cannot beleive that we have not got in a striker, and Carlton Cole is not the answer we are stuffed, Ed has your source had any excuses out of the club! {Ed001's Note - all I got from West Ham yesterday was that they were trying to get a deal done, but wages were an issue. Tough for the clubs, if they spend too much they jeopardise their future, not investing enough leaves you in danger of sliding down the table. It is a balancing act, but West Ham are known most of all for their academy, surely this is the time to keep the squad small and look to that to fill the gaps in the squad?}

Yes Ed we were know for our academy but that was 10 years ago when other clubs where just as willing to use youngsters but now everyone buys foreign, which IMO is Halting the progress of our youngsters because a club is likely to use them when the teams we are playing against are fielding multi million pound talent.
