West Ham boss David Moyes has absolutely raved about the work done by Karren Brady during the January transfer window.
The Hammers failed to sign a single player during the January window.
It was an absolute disaster, especially considering the fact that we have a real chance to kick on and finish inside the top four this season.

Moyes obviously wanted to bring at least two new players into the London Stadium – a top-class striker and an established central defender.
West Ham are so light in those two areas. The Scot will have to battle on with what he has between now and the end of the season though.
Moyes did suggest that the club tried everything to bring some players in during the January window, however, when speaking to WHUFC.com yesterday.
David Moyes makes Karren Brady claim
The Scot insisted that the owners tried everything possible to get some deals over the line on deadline day. And the Scot reserved special praise for one person in particular, when speaking to the club’s official website:
“I’ve got to say, the work Karren Brady’s done to try and see if we could get some deals and get things happening, she’s been really good.”
Brady is far from popular at the London Stadium.
And Moyes’s comments yesterday on transfers just further highlight the fact that the West Ham owners and Chairman Brady didn’t do enough to bring the players in.
The fact that we didn’t get anything done surely highlights how inept Brady is at her job. Perhaps Moyes would have been better not saying anything at all.
It may have looked like they were trying on the surface, but dig deeper and it’s clear that they could have done more.
For instance, why did we start making bids for players on January 30th? They had 31 days to make things happen and failed to do so.
Moyes’s comments yesterday may appease some fans. We have read between the lines though. The proof is in the pudding.
And West Ham have it all to do now in the summer transfer window. Will Moyes be praising Brady after that one as well if we fail to sign anyone?
It didn’t wash yesterday and it won’t wash then.
