Think you can sleep easy BensGrandad as the likelihood of that happening is virtually 0. Given how the club acted in the summer window and with us still being promotion candidates then, why would the club weaken itself by selling two vital players? Also why would those players want to move then...
Not yet we don't. Red Bull were after Nottingham Forrest in the summer but Fawaz basically ko'd the deal as he wanted to remain involved with the club.

Apparently our south coast neighbours are the next club being eyed up the Chinese for a potential take-over.

A player can still sign for a club after having played competitive games for two different clubs over a season, but won't then be able to play for a third club.
Murray hasn't played any games for Bournemouth this season, so it is a possibility that a club could come in and attempt to sign him...
Ruddy was their number one for past few seasons. McGovern signed for them over summer after he performed well at the Euro's with Northern Ireland and has been their main goalkeeper since, def think Ruddy will get another chance after todays performance.
Sunderland appear to be this years Villa - a club that have previously flirted with relegation but will soon become stranded at the bottom.
Moyes spent 17m on buying Ndong, 8.8m on Djilobodji from Chelsea and 4.5m on Paddy McNair over summer, so definitely can't blame lack of support / funds...
That Allardyce purely relies on long ball tactics is a bit of a myth. He's a very pragmatic manager and his teams are always set up so that their hard to beat, it's not pretty football but he isn't against using flair / creative players when it's warranted.
No chance... who would replace him? If Guardiola couldn't make it work,who can? Not a lot of managers would have the confidence to go in after and think they could do a better job.
He played 21 minutes on Saturday against Sunderland and has been on the bench for most of West Hams league games so far. Definitely can't see his loan becoming a permanent move.
There was a few sackings in weeks leading up to the last international window also. Suppose Chairmans thinking is always that those 2 weeks will give a new manager time to work with the squad in training before any games are played.
