Attacking options excite Zola
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola is looking forward to working with his front players after completing his transfer business.
Mexico international Guillermo Franco arrived on a free transfer last week and could make his debut in the Carling Cup game against Bolton on Tuesday.
Alessandro Diamanti is another new recruit, meaning Zola now has more options in attack after Carlton Cole shouldered much of the responsibility during the early part of the season.
Zavon Hines, Junior Stanislas, Luis Jimenez and Kieron Dyer are also competing for places and Zola hopes the forwards will start to fire on a regular basis.
"I normally like to play with one striker and two small ones behind him," he said.
"I am looking forward to having a little bit of consistency so I can put my ideas a bit more.
"From now on, I know who I am working with. I can start shaping the team and am looking forward to that a little bit more."
Zola is looking forward to the clash with Bolton and has targeted the Carling Cup as a great chance for some silverware in his first full season in charge at Upton Park.
"It is very important to us," he said. "We take it very seriously and we want to go further in this competition so we are going to try to win the game."
