West Ham take David Di Michele and Hérita N'Kongolo Ilunga on loan

Who actually thought there could "... still be good transfer deadline news"?!

"The club recognise the lateness of this announcement" - and causing the heart to stop in the majority of West Ham fans, they could ad.

I have too little knowledge of these two players to grade these loans, but the grouch in me is afraid that these two boys "subject to registration at the premiere league" have something to prove!


Ilunga was delighted to come and we were delighted to have him.
Actually there was so much delight between the parties during the negotiations that they had to snap out of it to get the deal done on time - barely making it!



I'm really hoping these loans are not just cover (at least not Ilunga) but will ad quality to the starting lineup. However, In view of previous signings of non-PL-broken players (e.g. Faubert, Masherano and even Tevez) I predict that these boys will get very limited first team experience the first half of the season.


At the moment the relief of having at least cover for a refurbished slow right back dressed up as a left back, is greater than the doubt.
Let's just hope registration at the Premiere League won't be a big issue!
