West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has weighed into the furious row between his club owners and Sporting CP.

Bilic insists their squad is strong enough, even they did miss out on Sporting midfielder William Carvalho.

He wrote for the London Evening Standard: "We have a good squad.

"We ideally wanted another one or two and that's why we offloaded some players, but it didn't happen and that is the reality.

"It was disappointing that we didn't sign Carvalho because it looked as though it was going to happen and that defensive midfield position was one I have wanted to strengthen for some time. But it doesn't mean that, because we didn't sign him, we haven't done good business this summer."
