Steady January for West Ham
As the beginning of January came, Drew swooped into sign one player, Drenthe from Real Madrid. Kieron Dyer left for 2.3million, whilst West Ham negotiated an exciting swap with Shakthar Donestk which saw Andre-Pierre Gignac leave for 200k plus Brazillian playmaker Jadson. Which meant Jadson was on his way to East London.
Ins:
---New East End Boy, Jadson.
Now to the action, which Bobby Drew has described as a 'disappointing month for the club.
FA CUP:
West Ham 3-1 Birmingham - Cole (3)
After Birmingham took the lead, West Ham and in particular Carlton Cole, set the east end crowd on fire, as he played out of his skin to bag a hat trick, the last one coming from a penalty. Neat and tidy finishing was to describe Cole's finishing.. England? West Ham progress to play Liverpool at home in the next round (H)
West Ham 2-2 Fulham - Cole (2)
A game the Hammers should've buried, Cole again bagged a brace. Fulham equalised controversially in the 84th minute when Dempsey scored ommitedly from an offside position. The goal stood.
Wolves 2-2
West Ham - Cole, Salihovic
Again another match West Ham let slip away from them. Took the lead twice, but let a sloppy second equaliser in through Doyle. Sub Stanislas could have won the game for them in the 91st minute, but was stopped by the excellent Hennessey.
FA CUP: West Ham 0-1 Liverpool
West Ham were very unlucky not to have progressed, or even obtain a replay at the bare minimum. Liverpool were awarded a penalty after Kuyt was fouled by Mohammed Fofana in the box. Kuyt despatched in the 78th minute, and there was no way back as Fofana was sent off.
West Ham 1-2 Newcastle - Collison
Abysmal, West Ham played with no spirit or determination. Upson, Fofana, Tomkins all out, West Ham are leaking goals.
Tottenham 2-0
West Ham
West Ham's dreadful form continues, with a 2 nil defeat to their bitter rivals. Just 2-0 was flattering to West Ham, but could've been different if Cole had put away crucial chances in the first half West Ham dominated. Tottenham threw the kitchen sink at West Ham in the second half, and ran out 2 nil winners.
West Ham have swooped for 35 year old Deportivo Right back Manuel Pablo on loan till the end of the season. Drew has said this is the man to boost, and secure the right side of his side, so Behrami can move back to his more natual Right Midfield. Also, Drew has signed Honduran international David Suazo on a loan till the end of the season. Will Suazo and Cole work better than Cole and Gignac?
Player of the month: Robert Green
Solid performances from Englands current number one.
West Ham finish the month in 10th place.

Wasteful West Ham
A month where good finishing could've won every game this month, none more so than when they played Stoke at home..
West Ham 3-3 Stoke - Cole (2), Jadson
After Cole put West Ham 2 nil up many thought this could be a real beating for Stoke. But the Potters, inspired by Ricardo Fuller who scored two fantastic solo goals, levelled things up. Jadson then put the Hammers back in front i the 83rd minute with a solo goal himself worthy of winning any game. But then back came Stoke, and in the 87th minute, Fuller bagged his hat trick, to the disgust of the East End crowd, West Ham had dropped another 2 points.
Blackburn 2-3
West Ham - Suazo (2), Cole
This is what being a West Ham fan is like, as described by Russell Brand, always on the egde of your seat, and nothing is safe. The hammers went 3-0 up on 55 minutes, courtesy of David Suazo who put in a excellent performance after Cole scored then went off injured. Again, many thought there could be some more. But in the 75th minute Blackburn got a goal back through Roberts, and again so in the 90th minute through Roberts again. At 90, 4 minutes went up on the board to the contrasting sighs from each fans.. West Ham held out, and their winless run ended.
West Ham 0-4 Liverpool
A embarrasing performance from West Ham which lacked many things. Fofana had a shocker, which lead to Upson almost having one. 4 goals was a fair reflection in a game the scousers dominated. West Ham now have to roll up their sleeves and deliver some determinating wins if they are to succeed in pursuing european football.
A miserable month for the Hammers..
