ExWHUEmployee has revealed how many West Ham players he expects to leave on transfer deadline day.
It has been a busy transfer window for the Hammers as there have been plenty of ins and outs, with Nuno Espirito Santo getting his wish of rebalancing the squad.
We all love the club to bits, but letโs be real โ what would you have to tell a new signing to convince them to join?! ๐

Lucas Paqueta, Luis Guilherme, Andy Irving, Guido Rodriguez, Niclas Fullkrug, James Ward-Prowse, Callum Marshall, Kaelan Casey and Igor Julio have all left West Ham either permanently or on loan.
On the other hand, Taty Castellanos, Pablo, Adama Traore and Keiber Lamadrid have moved to the London Stadium.
ExWHUEmployee drops last-gasp West Ham exit update
Mads Hermansen has been linked with a West Ham exit, given his poor start to life at the London Stadium.
He moved for a ยฃ20m fee, and it is fair to say that he has failed to live up to that price tag.
This even saw the club consider signing Antonin Kinsky from Tottenham, but that does not appear to be on the cards, as things stand.

According to the reliable Hammers inside ExWHUEmployee, it does not look likely any player will be leaving the London Stadium on deadline day.
The club have managed to offload players they wanted to earlier in the window and, after signing Axel Disasi from Chelsea, appear done with their transfer business until the end of the season.

Have West Ham done enough to avoid relegation?
The main reason Nuno was waiting for January was to bring in new signings and the impact of the new arrivals has been seen.
However, not signing a centre-back until the final day of the window when your defence is the worst in the league is most certainly not an ideal scenario.
There also does not appear to be a backup for Disasi, given his doubts over moving to the London Stadium.
Thus, if he does not join, fans have every reason to believe that the club may not have done enough to avoid relegation.
Bar Castellanos, none of the arrivals strengthen the playing eleven, and that is a worry going into the final four months of the season.
