← West Ham United Transfers

Only £1m spent... How are you feeling about West Ham's slow summer?

When will the new signings arrive? 🥱

ray.baxterct19512mo ago

West Ham have to keep up quickly, the top of the championship is like the bottom half of the prem. If they think they they can breeze through and win everything without changes, I fear a rude awakening is on the cards.

dantowen819512mo ago

Especially with Burnley and Wolves to come in the first few matches. Panic will set in quick if we start badly

ericmartinhowell2mo ago

If he keeps doing what he did against Southend, we have gem in house.

dantowen819512mo ago

Agreed, I didn’t even know he could play in central midfield haha

ray.baxterct19512mo ago

If you've got some Dosh in your pocket, it doesn't mean you have to blow it in one go, you've got to shop around for bargains.

dantowen819512mo ago

This is what Koppen is here for! He got a Moroccan striker to rangers for £1.6m and sold him for £10m a year later!

bw4904102mo ago

Use to it over the years we never get going until last few days of transfer window, then it's a mad scramble to get deals over the line

ray.baxterct19512mo ago

It seems the slave trade is alive and well, Man City's showcase idea is odd to say the least. It reminds me of school, when the boys stand around waiting and hoping to be picked to play and the fat boys and the weak end up running round the field.

ray.baxterct19512mo ago

I don't think West Ham are sitting on their hands with the transfer malarkey, it's just boring watching the same old ifs and buts. I think and hope they are keeping their cards close to their chest.The World Cup has slowed everything.

adamf2mo ago

I agree with you all. No reason to panic but I would sure like to see som action here soon!!

dantowen819512mo ago

I think it’ll kick up a notch this week to be honest. Koppen is in, World Cup is nearly over, and we’ve got £85m in the bank. No excuses really

gorriejonathan2mo ago

I'm sure the World Cup complicates it all. No reason to panic just yet, which is easier said than done I know

grahamwatts2mo ago

Patience is a virtue! Need to realise we have only just appointed recruitment specialist plus we are in the Championship so not the most attractive option

gorriejonathan2mo ago

Yeah, it's going to be a strange window I think compared to others. Not necessarily a bad thing though!

bw4904102mo ago

Different owners same old dragging their heels over signings 😡

dantowen819512mo ago

I feel a lot of it is cause they didn’t want to commit to any deals until Koppen came in. But need to get a move on nown

igrimshaw012mo ago

The window's only just opened amd there are weeks until it closes, so no need to start panicking just yet ⚒️

dantowen819512mo ago

Agreed. Just look at man United. Their fans were losing their head a few days ago, and now they’ve signed Santos and Tielemans in 48 hours

jamesshearman232mo ago

I wouldn’t be worried just yet! Give it 2/3 more weeks and then I’ll be concerned

alan.mayo512mo ago

It's just like last year. Nothing happened for weeks and then a mad rush of mainly poor signings at the end. Where did that lead us? Those thinking we are favourites for promotion are deluding themselves.

gorriejonathan2mo ago

Where do you think the club needs to strengthen most?

mtjones2mo ago

So far so boring

dodkins20002mo ago

Still a long time to go , no reason to panic yet

dantowen819512mo ago

Agreed. I think a lot of the sluggishness is down to Koppen coming in relatively late
