Exactly how much money have the Hammers spent on new players in this millennium?

West Ham United have been a household name in the Premier League for the most part of three decades now and they are one of eight clubs to have never fallen below the second tier of English football.

Some high-profile names have represented them throughout their illustrious history and they have made some incredible signings since the turn of the century.

The surprise capture of Argentine superstars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano in the same window in the 2006-07 season in particular made plenty of headlines.

They have made plenty more big-money signings since then, though!

But who have been West Ham's most expensive transfers each campaign and who are their most expensive signings?

West Ham top 10 most expensive player signingsGetty10Andre Ayew | £21.69m | Swansea | 2016

After a one-season spell at Swansea in which he scored 12 goals in 34 appearances, Ghana international Ayew joined West Ham in the summer of 2016.

The striker arrived for a then club-record fee of £21.69 million on a three-year contract, with an option of extending it for a further two years.

After making 43 appearances and scoring just nine goals, Ayew returned to Swansea in 2018 for a £20.52m fee.

Born in Toulouse in France, Diop went on to feature for his local club at youth level before making his debut in 2015, aged just 18.

The centre-back scored his first goal in just his second game for the senior team and helped Toulouse avoid relegation that campaign.

Towards the end of his spell at the club, Diop was made club captain and helped them reach the quarter-final of the Coupe de France.

The 2017-18 campaign was his last season at the club before West Ham came calling in June 2018, agreeing to pay £22.50 million for his signature.

After four years at the club, Diop moved to Fulham in the summer of 2022 for a £16.02m fee.

Fornals arrived at West Ham on a five-year contract from Villarreal in the summer of 2019 for £25.20 million, making him their second-most expensive transfer at that time.

His debut came in a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City, a game in which he came on as a substitute in the second half.

Since 2019, Fornals has made well over a 100 appearances for West Ham.

Croatian attacking-midfielder Vlasic signed for West Ham from CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2021 for £27 million on a five-year contract.

However, he only appeared for 552 minutes over 19 games in his first season at the club.

Due to immense competition in the attacking midfield space at West Ham, the former Everton man moved to Italian club Torino on a one-season loan in the summer transfer window of 2022.

The BCB has banned Rizwan Bin Farouq, co-owner of BPL franchise Barisal Bulls, from any activities related to Bangladesh cricket because of his involvement in an altercation at the conclusion of the Asia Cup final at the Shere Bangla Stadium in March.Farouq reportedly struck Moinul H Chowdhury, chief executive of Total Sports Marketing, the BCB’s broadcast partner, and could be forced to relinquish his stake in the Bulls as a result.Farouq is also managing director of Axiom Technologies Ltd, the company that holds the BCB’s in-stadia and ticketing rights for international matches until June 2016.”The incident hampered the image of the country,” BCB disciplinary committee chairman AJM Nasir Uddin said, after announcing the punishment on Saturday. “We decided to take a stern step and make him persona-non-grata in all stadiums for life. He cannot be involved with any clubs and franchises who participate in the BCB’s tournaments. He cannot be involved with anything related with Bangladesh Cricket Board.”We had taken the decision on the back of evidence provided by the eye witnesses. As he cannot get involved with any kind of activities with BCB, we will take legal advice to sort out things that need to be done.”

For the second time this season Johann Myburgh defied one of his former counties, Durham, as he gave struggling Somerset a slight edge on the first day at Chester-le-Street

Johann Myburgh edged Somerset towards a strong position at Chester-le-Street•Getty Images

ScorecardFor the second time this season Johann Myburgh defied one of his former counties, Durham, as he gave struggling Somerset a slight edge on the first day at Chester-le-Street.After choosing to bat, Durham were dismissed for 189 with Craig Overton taking 4 for 40, then Myburgh followed the 115 he made against the same opponents at Taunton with an unbeaten 57.Somerset were 147 for 4 at the close, while Durham had further cause to worry about Graham Onions. After missing much of last season through injury, he has already suffered three niggles this year and was off the field for most of the evening session.Overton was the most impressive of those who might have interested watching national selector James Whitaker, although Durham’s Chris Rushworth also bowled well. The first of his three victims took him to 100 championship wickets since the start of last season.While his twin, Jamie, was left out to accommodate the return of Lewis Gregory, who proved expensive, Overton came on for the ninth over and took 2 for 19 in his first seven-over spell.His fourth ball swung into left-hander Mark Stoneman to have him lbw and one which nipped back pinned Paul Collingwood in front for a duck.From 46 for 3 Durham progressed to 117 through Keaton Jennings and Michael Richardson before four wickets went down for three runs in four overs after lunch.Jennings was lbw trying to whip Tim Groenewald through mid-wicket and Jim Allenby somehow induced a ball to leap at Richardson, who fended to second slip, where Marcus Trescothick parried it and held on to the rebound.Calum MacLeod sliced his second ball to backward point off Allenby then Paul Coughlin stayed on his crease and was lbw to Groenewald.The slump was stemmed by a brief counter-attack from John Hastings as he Gordon Muchall shared a 50 stand in 48 balls before Overton yorked Hastings and forced Muchall to edge to Trescothick.Trescothick survived a confident lbw appeal from Rushworth in the first over of the reply before the next big shout brought his downfall for 26 in the first over after tea.Tom Abell had edged a drive at Rushworth to the wicketkeeper, but at 34 for 2 James Hildreth settled in cautiously. He had made six off 33 balls when he hit two fours and survived a chance to second slip, all in the same Hastings over.After contributing 35 to a stand of 73 with Myburgh, Hildreth surrendered to Scott Borthwick’s second ball, pulling a long hop straight to mid-on.Tom Cooper did something similar, picking out mid-wicket off Rushworth, before Allenby kept Myburgh company to the close. Myburgh completed a 92-ball half-century with a four off Borthwick in the final over.

Pakistan allrounder Shahid Afridi is hoping for a “happy ending” to his international career, and is targeting the World Twenty20 trophy next year in India

PTI30-Apr-2015Pakistan allrounder Shahid Afridi is hoping for a “happy ending” to his international career, and is targeting the World Twenty20 trophy next year in India. In December last year, Afridi announced that he would retire from ODIs after the 2015 World Cup, but said he would quit international cricket altogether only after the 2016 World T20.”I want to not only play but also captain the Pakistan team to the T20 World Cup title,” he said. “Who does not want a happy ending to his career? I am looking at that in the T20 format. I never thought I would be at this level and play cricket for Pakistan team. I have made up my mind, but before that I want to also groom a future captain and vice-captain for this format with the board’s support.”Afridi, 35, has appeared in 78 T20Is, besides 27 Tests and 398 ODIs. He announced his retirement from Test cricket during Pakistan’s tour to England in 2010 after captaining the side in just the first Test at Lords. He bowed out of ODIs following Pakistan’s quarter-final defeat to Australia in the World Cup in March.

Arnold: New Zealand keep finding ways to win

The way the fourth day had panned out – only one wicket – New Zealand would have known going through the Sri Lanka batting line-up was not going to be easy. The visitors had played out almost 11 hours in the second innings of the Christchurch Test without Kumar Sangakkara. The pitch was flatter in Wellington and Sangakkara was back in form. But once New Zealand picked up four wickets – including Sangakkara and Angelo Mathews for single-digit scores – in the first session, the result was more or less decided.Trent Boult and Doug Bracewell did the early damage before Mark Craig ran through the tail to complete one of New Zealand’s most remarkable Test wins. It was only the second time they had recovered from a deficit of more than 100 to win a game, the last instance being their five-wicket win against Pakistan almost 21 years ago. The situation in this Test had been bleak too, until Kane Williamson and BJ Watling turned the tables on Sri Lanka with a record 365-run sixth-wicket stand.Batting had seemed easy then and it would have lent Sri Lanka the belief this match could be saved. But they suffered the big blow in the first half-hour of the day. Sangakkara had just clipped Tim Southee through square leg to pick up his first boundary. He was not troubled once during his brief stay, defending comfortably off the back foot and denying Kaushal Silva’s calls for dicey runs in loud and clear terms. He appeared every bit the fourth-innings saviour Sri Lanka needed. Moreover, neither Boult nor Southee managed any movement despite moisture in the air.It was perhaps this lack of lateral movement or the assured strokeplay from Silva at the other end that coaxed Sangakkara into a loose shot. Boult pushed a length ball a bit wide outside off. Sangakkara had left a few, ducked under others that were not there to hit, and chose to chase this particular delivery, but it flew past the bat. There was not much support from behind the stumps for Boult’s appeal for caught behind, but as Brendon McCullum put it, “it was worth” a review.With the edge in question – the under edge of the bat, hidden from the Hot Spot view – the third umpire overturned the on-field call on the basis of a faint spike on the Snickometer. New Zealand were buoyed and Sangakkara, who had appeared confident while waiting for the decision, was visibly disappointed as he walked back. It was the third time this series that Sangakkara had fallen to Boult. With him went a fair chunk of Sri Lanka’s resistance.The other major blow came at the stroke of lunch. Mathews had been in for ten minutes and was almost bowled through the gate by Craig, but the bounce carried the ball just over the stumps. He wasn’t so lucky three balls later. Williamson leaped up to a thick edge, got both hands on the ball, saw it pop out, yet still managed to grab the rebound one-handed. Sangakkara and Mathews contributed 13 runs between them.Mathews had come to the crease at the dismissal of Silva, who had looked the most solid batsman. He ran his runs hard, drove anything pitched in his half, and reached his half-century with a paddle shot off Craig. The only time he made a mistake – an outside edge off Bracewell – he was snaffled up brilliantly by second slip. Like Silva, Lahiru Thirimanne too had no issues and helped himself to his third Test fifty.Thirimanne remained unbeaten on 62, but had to watch his partners succumbing to spin. After a 51-minute resistance, Prasanna Jayawardene uncharacteristically drove a wide delivery straight to Williamson at cover. Dinesh Chandimal did not hold himself back against Craig, swinging at a couple for boundaries, but was caught in the crease to a straighter one and edged it to the keeper. Rangana Herath was trapped lbw next ball and the innings ended 17 minutes later when Southee yorked Nuwan Pradeep.

The West Indies players have said the WICB was responsible for the decision to pullout of their ongoing tour of India because of a dispute over the payment structure

Nagraj Gollapudi17-Oct-2014The West Indies players have said the WICB was responsible for the decision to pull out of their ongoing tour of India because of a dispute over the payment structure. In a letter to WICB president Dave Cameron, West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo wrote the players were “disheartened and extremely disappointed” that the board had decided to engage with the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) despite the players’ instruction not to do so with regard to discussions on their behalf.The failure to heed the players’ appeal and to find a resolution to the payment-structure dispute, which the players felt left them disadvantaged, was a “grave injustice,” according to Bravo and had left to the decision to abandon the tour after the fourth ODI in Dharamsala.West Indies’ participation in the tour of India had been in doubt before the first ODI in Kochi, when the players expressed concerns about the new memorandum of understanding (MoU) and combined business agreement signed by WICB and WIPA in September. The players felt that under the new structure their payments would be affected adversely by as much as 90%.Acting as the players’ representative, Bravo sought answers from WIPA chief executive and president Wavell Hinds to questions over the MoU, which the captain said the players had not seen to date. Bravo asked Hinds to step down, a demand that was refused. Bravo then sought WICB’s help to resolve the matter, but Cameron responded on saying the board would communicate only with WIPA as the players representative. That step from WICB, Bravo said, forced the players to take the extreme measure of pulling out of the tour.”We were truly hoping that the WICB together with WIPA and/or the players would do everything in their power to seriously address the concerns of the players. Regrettably, this has not happened,” Bravo wrote in an email to Cameron before the fourth ODI.”Mr. President, having taken the field in good faith, [we] appealed to WIPA to address our concerns to no avail and asked the WICB to demonstrate with action, what is often bandied about in words, namely that they are interested in player welfare and partnership, it seems to us that there has been no reciprocal action”As a consequence and as a matter of principle, we cannot be party to this grave injustice. The players regretfully wish to advise that they can no longer accept this situation, which has affected each and every player in a very negative way. The players are under tremendous stress and undue pressure. We have informed the Manager and Coach of our decision to return home with the hope that these issues will be addressed to the satisfaction of all.”In the letter to Bravo where he said the WICB would only deal with the WIPA as the players representative, Cameron had asked the team to focus on the task at hand: “complete the series successfully.” Bravo, however, told Cameron the players had only played the first four ODIs “in good faith” but that stance could not be misinterpreted as their acceptance of the MoU. “Our decision to play in India was in no way intended to convey an acceptance by the players of the unreasonable terms and conditions put forward to us by WICB nor was it intended as an expression of our acceptance of the purported new Memorandum of Understanding.”In his communication to Cameron and Hinds, Bravo had said that until the dispute was resolved, the players should be paid under the old structure, which would benefit all parties. Cameron did not agree and argued in the favour of the new MoU. “For the record, I would point out to you our view that the new MOU/CBA creates a clear, sustainable, long-term compensation structure, so that we avoid the uncertainties and confusion associated with previous one – off negotiations on a case-by-case basis and the loose, informal arrangements of the past.”Cameron also had indicated the WICB would be happy “mediating the apparent issues between yourselves and WIPA – and are willing if invited, to do so” but only under the new guidelines set under the September MoU. Bravo, however, asked how the WICB could play a mediating role when it was party to the agreement players did not accept.”We note your offer to mediate since in your view this is a matter between WIPA and its members. We wish to state that while you may have been well intended, the offer to mediate on a document that the WICB is a party to cannot be entertained,” Bravo said.The players have been angered by Hinds’ claim that a resolution was passed approving the new pay structure at a WIPA AGM, which was attended by senior West Indies players Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Bravo and Ramnaresh Sarwan, on February 1. Bravo has been adamant in his exchanges with Hinds that no vote was taken and no resolution passed.Bravo told Cameron the players were not against reform and would support WICB as long as they were brought on board. “The players’ issue is that there has been no resolution, no mandate, no consultation, no prior Board approval as far as WIPA is concerned and yet there is an agreement of unreasonable terms and conditions. In addition to the issue of deficient representation there is a case that the purported MOU may be wholly unjust and unfair and the new salary structure is untenable. In these circumstances the players feel there is sufficient basis to ask for its termination and its renegotiation.”The fourth ODI in Dharamsala began with the West Indies players standing beside Bravo at the toss while their captain said, “Time to make a decision,” and news of the pullout broke during the first innings.

Rumana Ahmed and Lata Mondal were the key performers for Bangladesh Women in their 43-run victory in the first ODI against Pakistan Women in Cox’s Bazaar

ESPNcricinfo staff04-Mar-2014
ScorecardRumana Ahmed and Lata Mondal were the key performers for Bangladesh Women in their 43-run victory in the first ODI against Pakistan Women in Cox’s Bazaar.Ahmed was the top scorer in a low-scoring contest, making 44 in the middle order to prop up a faltering innings. Bangladesh had slumped to 33 for 4 but Ahmed stayed firm at one end until her team reached 100. Shaila Sharmin scored 22 to steer Bangladesh to 133 for 6, but the innings folded after her dismissal. Bangladesh were eventually all out for 152 in 49.3 overs. Qanita Jalil took 3 for 26 in ten overs for Pakistan.Pakistan’s chase got off to a terrible start. Lata Mondal and Jahanara Alam cut through the top and middle order and the visitors were reduced to 63 for 8. Asmavia Iqbal’s 40 at No. 8 helped Pakistan limp past 100 but they were dismissed for 109 in 44.1 overs. Mondal finished with 4 for 35 in eight overs, while Alam took 3 for 22 in ten.

A round-up of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Super Eights matches that ended on January 13

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Jan-2014Group AAn unbeaten century by 20-year-old Mehran Ibrahim and a career-best 12 for 162 by left-arm seamer Taj Wali were the two significant contributions in Peshwar’s hard-fought win against Karachi Whites in Peshawar. The home team had stumbled to 34 for 4 in chase of 211, but Ibrahim, playing only his fourth first-class game, changed the complexion of the game. His 135 for the fifth wicket along with Aimal Khan stemmed the collapse and brought Peshawar to within 42 runs of a win, which they achieved without any further loss. It was also Ibrahim’s maiden century; his 101 off 132 deliveries included 13 boundaries.Peshawar were behind by 31 runs after the first innings too – a reflection of the batsmen failing to respond to Wali’s six-wicket haul that had restricted Karachi to 253 after they were 121 for 1. Wali and seamer Azam Khan then ran through the Karachi top order in the second dig to reduce them to 28 for 5, but a rearguard half-century by Mohammad Hasan lifted Karachi to 179. However, Peshawar reached the target in the 55th over.Islamabad’s Sarmad Bhatti and Shehzad Azam’s 207-run stand for the last wicket was the highlight of their drawn match against Karachi Blue. Islamabad were staring at a sub-200 total in the first innings when they lost their ninth wicket for 160, but the two batsmen stretched the total to 367. Though a rarity, the stand – only the 12th instance in first-class cricket of the last two adding more than 200 – was still 31 less than the Pakistan first-class record of 239 and a whopping 100 less than the all-time record. By the time Azam was out for 91 – his personal best – with three fours and five sixes, Bhatti had racked up an unbeaten 147.Karachi Blue’s response was led by Fakhar Zaman’s century that gave the team a two-run lead. The two innings used up almost three days and Islamabad played out the last day scoring 325 for 9 despite a six-wicket haul by Usama Basharat.Group BAdnan Mehmood’s 101 on debut and seven wickets in the match from Haseeb Azam helped Rawalpindi beat Sialkot by nine wickets in Islamabad.Having chosen to field, Rawalpindi had Sialkot reeling at 39 for 6 before Salman Ali’s 64 from No. 8 and contributions of 44 and 23 from Ahmed Butt and Hasan Ali helped stretch their score to 194. Seamer Haseeb finished with four wickets and left-arm spinner Babar Naeem with three.Playing his maiden first-class innings, Rawalpindi opener Mehmood retired hurt with his team’s total 17 for 0, but returned to score a 210-ball 101 with 17 fours. Shoaib Nasir, Akhtar Ayub and Zahid Mansoor made half-centuries to help Rawalpindi score 375 and take a 181-run lead. Salman continued waging lonesome resistance for Sialkot, this time with his offspin, to achieve figures of 7 for 117.Sialkot were in danger of an innings defeat at 135 for 6, but Bilal Hussain’s 81 and Ahmed Butt’s 35 helped them to post 260 and set Rawalpindi a target of 80. Rawalpindi got there in 19.2 overs, losing just one wicket, Salman bowling Shoaib Nasir to finish with match figures of 8 for 150.Zeeshan Ashraf’s maiden first-class century formed the basis of Multan’s second-innings fightback which helped them earn a draw against Lahore Shalimar. Multan had conceded a lead of 162 runs, but Ashraf led a strong response, wiping out the deficit in a 170-run opening stand along with Usman Liaqat, who scored 69. Ashraf’s 112 took only 123 balls and included 18 fours and a six.Then Aamer Yamin further stretched Multan’s innings with his third first-class century that helped them post 448 and give Lahore a target of 287. The teams agreed on a draw in the fifth over of Lahore’s innings.It was a good result for Multan considering they were bowled out for 210 on the first day and were punished by Umar Siddiq, who scored an unbeaten 187 – his best first-class score. Multan’s left-arm spinner was the most successful bowlers across teams, picking up eight wickets in the match.
