<strong>West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has confirmed that the Hammers missed out on possible deals for Demba Ba, Nicklas Bendtner and Romelu Lukaku on transfer deadline day.</strong>
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has been vocal about the club's need to get another striker after having sealed a permanent deal for former Liverpool target man Andy Carroll. However, despite repeated efforts they have failed to land any other striker at Upton Park.<br />
Brady wrote in her column in The Sun: "You win some, you lose some and West Ham lose three tonight - transfers, that is.<br />
"On the final day of the window, we miss out on Chelsea strike duo Demba Ba and Romelu Lukaku, plus Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner.<br />
"At 8.55pm I am told Lukaku wants to rejoin West Brom and, no matter what we do, his decision is final.<br />
"Then, with 10 minutes to deadline, it's revealed he is joining Everton.<br />
"Anyway, David Sullivan and Sam Allardyce did their business early - making Andy Carroll our record signing and acquiring several other excellent players."
