'Can't see any downsides' - your views on Walker-Peters
We asked for your views on Kyle Walker-Peters, who has joined the Hammers on a free. Here are some of your comments:Tom: Solid signing. With the departures of Vladimir Coufal and Aaron Cresswell, KWP will provide much needed cover in the full-back positions for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and new boy El Hadji Diouf. Joining on a free with Premier League experience? Even I think we needed some depth following Vladi's departure and Walker-Peters fits the bill. Good free Very happy. Will give good competition to Wan-Bissaka and Diouf and may even start a few while Diouf beds in. Hopefully being a freebie means there's a big-money midfielder and a big money forward on the Has to be a great signing. Gives us strength in depth in the back line and he is a proven Premiership player. Can't see any He is a Potter type of player and a good, versatile addition to the squad, particularly as a free Absolutely. It's clear we have depth to add with all the outgoings so can't argue with a Prem-calibre player on a free. Not only that but with two wing-backs at Afcon in the winter, we need the Definitely good business: proven Prem player and was Southampton's best player last term. Let's hope he performs like AWB!Bradderthehammer: Great free signing - in fact I'd have paid money for him. Saw him play us twice last season and he was the best player on the park in the second game.

Luke Littler narrowly misses out on World Matchplay Darts record after beating Ryan Searle in 16 MINUTES
LUKE LITTLER came close to breaking the World Matchplay average record as he blitzed Ryan Searle in just 16 MINUTES! The teen sensation won his first-ever clash on the Winter Gardens stage, smashing Heavy Metal 10-2 in Blackpool on Sunday. 2 Littler delivered an average of 108.92, just short of Phil Taylor's 114.99 - but after five legs was flying at 121.21 per three darts. He said: 'It's been an up and down season so far. World Cup didn't go to plan for me and Luke (Humphries), tough conditions. 'But now it's the Matchplay and you're battling it out with the best in the world.' Littler flew out of the blocks, ripping into a 5-0 lead in just SEVEN MINUTES and hitting five out of six shots on the doubles. It took Searle six legs to get a double on the board after The Nuke piled on the pressure including a 126 checkout but his finishing just dipped off slightly in the latter stages. Littler told Sky Sports: "I was well up for it tonight, I just wanted to get that win, get that winning feeling and I did it. "I'm so glad to get that win, get that winning feeling and I can't wait to come back. "I felt very comfortable, I have been practising so much. I've just been putting in hours and hours. I'm glad it's paid off. "All eyes are on me now, just take it game by game… I can't wait to get back on stage." Gary Anderson also put in a comprehensive showing to secure a 10-5 win over Luke Woodhouse. Anderson progresses to play Stephen Bunting, who scraped through with a 10-8 win against Ryan Joyce.
