To be fair they've had to because most of their squad was on loanThey've bought a shed load of players in this window, the last promoted team to do that didn't fare too well the following season.
Brentford Fail With Approach For Leicester City Star
Brentford have failed with an approach for Leicester City defender Jannik Vestergaard this summer.insidefutbol.com
IIRC the 1976 close season was also becalmed …. and very hot. Bloomfieldd’s pipeline of London players had dried up, and I’m pretty sure the same team that finished the 75-76 season started the opener for 76=77.Has there ever been a close season in which we didn't sign a single new player? I doubt it.... until this one.

Luke Thomas to West Ham.
Luke Thomas to West Ham.
I reckon we are looking to flog anyone who attracts interest.Quick check reveals that he signed a four year contract two years ago.
>99% likelihood that his agent is trying to get him a new deal.
Personally, I don't rate him so wouldn't be offering a new deal and would be open to moving him on.
Chances of West Ham being genuinely interested is <1%.
Quota hitting playerHe’s a very limited player, he needs a loan move to the champ but we seem to want to keep him as back up. I’d rather scratch my own eyes out than watch him try and play left wing back for us.
He’s the least West Ham player I can think of.

I like him and I think he could be a very good ayer but I agree he needs to go out and earn his stripes.He’s a very limited player, he needs a loan move to the champ but we seem to want to keep him as back up. I’d rather scratch my own eyes out than watch him try and play left wing back for us.

This might also be Leicester trying to alert teams to an expendable player for us that due to his age and nationality would probably command a decent fee.I like him and I think he could be a very good ayer but I agree he needs to go out and earn his stripes.
As for West Ham being interested.... I can only assume Superscout works for the Grauniad now.
