West Ham United are already being linked with a host of players the club might sign this summer.
West Ham fans aren’t happy with the way the club is being run by co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold and vice-chairman Karren Brady.
They were full of promises to fans ahead of their move to the former Olympic Stadium but two forgettable seasons later they are in uproar and protesting for change.
Terrible recruitment is at the crux of problems which have left fans disgruntled over what they feel are broken promises when it comes to West Ham‘s dealings in the transfer market and their big move to Stratford.
Recruitment has been so poor that Sullivan has pledged to rip up West Ham’s transfer process in a root and branch restructure this summer.
Despite not yet being officially safe from the threat of relegation, the Hammers – who according to The Times will extend David Moyes’ deal and hand him full control of transfers – have been linked with a host of summer signings.
The likes of West Brom trio Jonny Evans, Ben Foster and Craig Dawson, Stoke’s Eric Maxim Chopou-Moting and Joe Allen, Southampton’s Fraser Forster and Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini have all been linked with potential summer moves.
Supporters are not happy and see the links as further evidence the owners do not have the ambition and intention to make good on the promises they made to spend big after the stadium move.
All of those players mentioned will be available at a good price because they will likely have either played a part in getting their teams relegated or can’t get a game for their respective clubs.
West Ham were better served by a policy of recruiting young, hungry players or looking to their academy as they have done so famously throughout their history.
