"West Ham won't solve the problems in their squad. They want a striker for about 20m, good luck. Doesn't everyone? They need a top striker who will score them goals, they won't get one for that price. It's typical West Ham, the way the board there operate, they want to solve a problem but they want to do it as cheaply as they can."
"West Ham are ready to shake up Nuno Espirito Santo's squad in January, as they seek a vast improvement from the first half of the season. A number of areas are to be addressed, and there will be funds available to spend. However, it could be that those funds are not enough to address every problem that West Ham have."
West Ham plan a significant January overhaul with £50m available and intentions to sign at least three players. The squad requires multiple reinforcements, notably a top striker to replace Niclas Fullkrug, who is likely to depart. Club spending strategy favors cheaper options, raising doubts that the budget will secure genuinely improved players. Observers believe piecemeal low-cost signings will leave the squad little improved versus investing in one proven high-quality player. Progress under Nuno Espirito Santo is visible, but sustainable advancement depends on increased transfer ambition and willingness to pay for quality.
