A top **West Ham** source has issued a [transfer](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-transfer-news/) update that’s sure to infuriate fans, as the club seek damage limitation following a dreadful start to the season.
The revelation suggests even more board involvement as the transfer window draws to a close.
When [Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/category/news/) put it to the senior source that Graham Potter had hinted at a busy few days ahead, the reply was stark:
_“We are trying. I’m getting stuck in myself as I’m fed up waiting for things to happen.”_
The phrase “we’re trying” is likely to anger fans already sick of hearing the all-too-familiar “we tried” mantra after failed signings.
The admission that a board-level figure is now directly involved hints at frustration over the slow progress of deals so far. Inevitably, this will be seen by some as another attempt to throw Kyle Macaulay under the bus, suggesting the head of recruitment has been dragging his heels.
Pressed further, the club refused to elaborate. But it appears the same source who recently said “_judge us at the end of the window”_ now has just a week left to rescue West Ham’s transfer window.
