West Ham boss David Moyes admits he wants to spend carefully this month.
Instead of splashing the cash on a star name, the Hammers manager is in the market for humble, hard working players to add to his tight-knit squad in east London.
Asked whether breaking into the Champions League places would mean having to manage bigger egos, Moyes said: “That’s a really good question because I don’t think any manager wants d********. And I don’t know if you can correlate d******** with big egos, there is a difference. You can have a big ego and not be a d*******.
“We are still building here at West Ham. We have to keep putting a few layers on before we can be talked about as challenging. If possible I would like to give the West Ham supporters someone else they can shout about, someone else they can see a continued line of us trying to keep it going.
“But what I don’t want to do is waste any money. I would rather keep it and pay bigger for someone next summer if I have to rather than waste it on someone that I might not use at the moment.
“I love team players and people who are going to be part of the team. People who are really committed and are going to work, score goals and defend goals, whatever it may be.”
