Ho, ho, ho

Unfortunately, this day, for a West Ham supporter, is like the day before christmas.

Unfortunately? That is surely one of the best days of the year - right?

No, not for a West Ham supporter, at least not this year.
See, the problem is that our parents are the type that run out in panic the day before christmas to do their shopping, and we all know what that can end up like.
At this time last year we sat down with the present in our knee, slowly removing the paper, heart pounding, and it almost stopped at the sight of - Henri Camara!

That is what happens when the people in charge lack the ability to plan. Or worse, if they really don't want to get you anything but suddenly realises that it would look bad if they didn't.


Is this how football transfers should be done?
Is this the sign of a hard working board of a premier leage club with funds and ambition?

It could turn out OK, the board could be lucky and find someting still in the store worth buying.
Then again it could turn up like - Henri Camara!
