West Ham have completed three signings on transfer deadline day: Barcelona midfielder Alex Song and Chelsea winger Victor Moses on season-long loan deals, plus Hull City striker Nikica Jelavic moving for around 3 million pounds.
Alex Song, aged 27, has also spent last season on loan with the Hammers, makinge 31 appearances in all competitions. Victor Moses has signed a new four-year contract with Chelsea but was sent out on loan once again by Jose Mourinho. Jelavic, aged 30, has signed a two-year contract with West Ham.
Song joined Barcelona in 2012 from Arsenal for 15 million pounds and has a hefty £63m release clause in his contract. He only managed to make 39 appearances for Barcelona though. "It was a very easy choice for me to come back and I'm very happy to be here," said Song. "I feel at home and my family do too. They're set up very well here and my kids are playing for West Ham academy."
West Ham are 3.25 at Bet365 to finish inside the Premier League top half this season.

I really like Slaven Bilic's attitude and hope he'll be succesfull at this club. Song and Moses are very good signing in my opinion while Jelavic will be a very good bench player. I think West Ham United could be a big surprise in the current season. But I cannot understand why they didn't buy Charlie Austin.

All three players have a lot experience in premier league playing for great teams and I am sure that they will help a lot this year that West Ham stay in Premier league, I think that is unreal to talk about something more like European competition but you...

I think that only Nikica Jelavic will bring improvement in West ham. He is experienced player, he played for a long time in Premier league and he knows how to play against these teams. For Alex Song and Moses I am not sure because they didn't play a lot of minutes in their previous teams and I don't know how will they contribute...

People in West ham realized that they are too weak for premier league and they done nice job in deadline of transfer period. Before that West Ham was my first pick to relegate from Premier league but now I must reconsider that but still we don't know how these players will fit in West ham and we saw a lot of clubs with...

West Ham have a tricky start, with two major win ( Arsenal and Liverpool ), and two bad results at home... Song, Jelavic and Moses is trio which promise stability for Bilic team... They need some time to find his places on team, but no surprise to me is West Ham get some Euro places when League finish.....

Both Jelavic and Moses were a surprising transfers just before the deadline ends. West Ham did a nice job to ensure the deals with these players, both experienced and probably will be in big help for the team this season. Alex Song was linked with Juventus move but obviously that was just a rumors and he decided to sign...
