West Ham boss David Moyes: I don't want to buy for sake of it

West Ham boss David Moyes insists he only wants quality signings made before the winter market shuts.

With Andy Carroll and Manuel Lanzini added to an injury list already containing Aaron Cresswell, Jose Fonte, Winston Reid, Andre Ayew and Diafra Sakho, Moyes admitted he will have his work cut out over the next two weeks.

But he has made it clear to the Irons board that he wants quality over quantity.

He said: “I've said I don't want it to be a lucky dip. I don't want to be taking just anything for the sake of it.

“Look, we're short. But more important is I would like to get the injured players we have at the club back fit.

“They are the ones who know the club better and know what's required. And if we can pick something up we really want in the next week or two we will try to do something."
