Big changes at West Ham

West Ham have undergone several different transfer moves already this January. In the biggest move, after weeks of speculation, Mamadou Sakho left the club for a massive fee of £47 million to Real Madrid. It is believed that Sakho demanded a new challenge and when the offer came, Oakes felt it was only fair to let him go. Andrea Poli also was sold earlier in the month. Andrea had a bad time of it at Upton Park and never settled in. He has now been sold to Sheffield Wednesday for £1.6 million. André-Pierre Gignac is also rumoured to be on his way out of the club, with Olympique de Marseille rumoured to be very interested in his services.

After these sales, shrewd manager Daniel Oakes moved to sign four youngsters who look to have great futures ahead of them. These are Defensive Midfielder Saif Aldulrahman from Hoffenheim, Central Midfielder Da Silva from Flamengo, Full Back Valdson from Santos, Defender Rogerio from Palmeiras and the player with perhaps the brightest future, central defender Nikita Vasiljev joins from Schalke for £8 million and is rumoured to be Sakho's direct replacement. These youngsters arrive for a combined fee of £19.4 million.

We had a fantastic month here at West Ham, going unbeaten yet again. We played Arsenal three times and came through with a draw and two wins which I am delighted with. As a result of this we are through to the Carling Cup final to play Aston Villa, which I am very confident of capturing the trophy. We also moved to within seven points in the league, which after we win both our games in hand we will be just one point behind. After beating Darlington and Middlesbrough in the FA Cup very impressively, we have been given a home tie with Oxford, which should be a lot of fun. A big month for West Ham United.

Player of the Month

There is no doubt who gets this weeks player of the month, and his name is Daniel Vogel. Daniel has been in phenominal form this month. He has scored seven goals in eight appearances. He is right at the top of his form and I am delighted to have him on board.

Outstanding story, im following this one

Gignac returns to France​

After an unsuccessful spelln at West Ham United, André-Pierre Gignac has signed a deal for Olympique de Marseille. West Ham will receive just over £5 million for the transfer and is believed to be a good move for both sides. Gignac made just three appearances for the Hammers where he scored just one goal.​

[COLOR=#00e0][/COLOR]

Two players agree deals​

After finding out that their contracts were up in the Summer, West Ham manager Daniel Oakes moved quickly to seal deals for two very talented players. Guillermo Ochoa and Simon Kjaer will join West Ham in July on a free transfer and both players will be a massive coup for the Hammers.​

I am delighted how we have played in February after another busy month filled with seven games. We kept on and made it our third unbeaten month in a row and I am delighted. We have moved within one point at the top of the league and still have our game in hand. We can definitely still win this league after a slow start we have caught up. I am also delighted with our impressive form in the FA Cup and the Carling Cup with our youngsters and Wembley is imminent.

Player of the Month

My Player of the Month this month has to go to Marco Verratti. Marco has had a brilliant month with five goals from the seven games played. Marco is dazzling every spectator at the moment and is definitely one of the most gifted players in the world.

March was yet another great month for the club. We stayed unbeaten yet again and came away with a great result against Atlético and will now face Liverpool. We have won the Carling Cup already and I am confident we will add to that. I am delighted that we have finally hit the top of the table and I am telling you now, we will not relent that lead, with two games in hand of Chelsea

Player of the Month

I am too impressed with the whole side this month that I cannot single out individual performers. The whole team has been fantastic and they all deserve an award. I hope that they keep playing like this and I believe I will get some very interesting offers in the summer.
