It must be frustrating being a West Ham fan during the summer transfer window. To say the least, the Hammers’ quality of signings over the years has been erratic.
Signings such as Carlos Tevez, Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini have had Hammers fans delighted with their clubs’ wheeling and dealing – although keeping such players at the club has proven to be slightly more difficult.
However, for every Carlos Tevez, there is a Mauro Zarate. And for every Mauro Zarate there is a Benni McCarthy. And for every Benni McCarthy there is a Maruoane Chamakh. The list goes on.
After a difficult season for the Hammers in their first ever at the London Stadium, Slaven Bilic will know the importance of making sure he attracts more Manuels, Marks and Michails and less Diarras, Danis and Dyers over the coming summer months.
But seemingly moving towards the more ambitious end of the transfer market, it could be a summer to look forward to. So West Ham fans, who would you like to see your club sign most this summer? Let us know by voting below…
