West Ham United co-chairman David Sullivan revealed early in September that manager Slaven Bilic turned down the chance to sign midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak in the summer.

The Irons were linked with a move for the Paris Saint-Germain ace during the transfer window but he ultimately joined West Bromwich Albion on loan.

The East Londoners spent – and wasted – most of August trying to sign William Carvalho from Sporting Lisbon in a big-money deal, but early signs indicate that they wouldn’t have gone wrong with Krychowiak.

The West Brom ace is another example of West Ham’s shoddy transfer window.
