Song disappointed West Ham failed to land Adebayor

West Ham United midfielder Alex Song is disappointed they missed out on Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

Song played alongside Adebayor at Arsenal when he was in a much richer vein of form, netting 24 times in the league during the 2007-08 season.

"I think if he was coming it would be very good for us - he is a great player," Song told Sky Sports News HQ.

"It didn't happen but now I want just to tell him good luck. We just have to focus now, just to do our job very well.

"We know we have good players, a good squad, but there's something we didn't have…we were looking to have more players come in but we didn't have them. So we just have to focus on the players we've got.

"Every time (after transfer deadlines) it's good when you have players coming in, trying to help, but we didn't get it. Now we just have to look forward and play like we have."
