How can they possibly be after a striker in January (which it seems like they are)..

I said it on the Rumours thread last week - if West Ham are chasing strikers, which very much appears to be the case, I think it's more down to the ego's of Big Sam and/or the owners, rather than an actual need for them.
 
Well Pompey are less than ten minutes away from getting a decent point and up in Yorkshire Barnsley's Ricardo Vaz Te cannot stop scoring!

I may be wrong, but I thought that West Ham were in money troubles and had shloads of debt? Or are they relying on parachute payments to get them back up before they have to worry about that sort of thing?

I think you are right about the money troubles and the debt, and I suspect you're right about relying on the parachute payments. I'd expect them to hit serious problems if they don't get promoted in the near future - especialy if they're the cash about in the meantime. But then again, I don't expect them not to get promoted.
