DEADLINE DAY: We've signed FOUR players this #DeadlineDay! What is your reaction to today's business? #WHUFC #COYI pic.twitter.com/craGMld6LA — West Ham United FC (@whufc_official) September 1, 2015

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic sent the board a thank you note for their deadline day gifts to him.

The Hammers were busy last Tuesday as they completed a string of deals before the 6pm transfer deadline.

Barcelona midfielder Alex Song, Chelsea winger Victor Moses, Hull City striker Nikica Jelavic and Nottingham Forest forward Michail Antonio all joined the Hammers before the window closed.

If West Ham fans were delighted with that level of deadline day activity, so was their manager.

Vice-chairman Karren Brady revealed that Croatian boss Bilic had taken the time to write to her to show his appreciation for her efforts in strengthening his squad for the season ahead.

Writing in her column for The Sun , Brady revealed: “He sent me a note saying: ‘Good job Karren. We’ve done well. Thanks!’ The first time in 25 years a manager has done that.”

David Sullivan and David Gold decided that it was self-defeating to squabble and went for our targets, full tilt.

That ought to keep Bilic in the West Ham board’s good books for a little while. And away wins at Arsenal and Liverpool will not do any hard, either.
