The West Ham fans in the Transfer Tavern are desperate to see a few first team changes over the coming days…
After a poor first half of the season, it is clear that the West Ham first team needs a few serious changes – both with regards to incoming players and outgoing players.
Offensively, West Ham have struggled – and a new striker has been on the cards for a while – whilst a few of the players that Slaven Bilic decided to bring in over the summer have simply not worked out.
A European finish is, seemingly, off the cards at this point – but West Ham will want to ensure that they end the season in a far better manner than how they started it.
With just a few days to go until the Premier League transfer window closes, Slaven Bilic must ensure that the following deals are rubber stamped…
In – Scott Hogan
West Ham’s need for a new striker is evident, and the man that they need to bring in is Scott Hogan.
Hogan is one of the Football League’s deadliest forwards, having already picked up 14 goals this season, whilst the Hammers have struggled in front of goal.
Andy Carroll is a good option, but his injury record is patchy at best – and Hogan would offer some consistency in front of goal.
Out – Dimitri Payet
Much has been made of Dimitri Payet over the last few weeks, but the West Ham fans in the Transfer Tavern are in agreement – he simply needs to go.
The relationship between the Frenchman and West Ham has deteriorated – and the likelihood of it ever improving is decreasing by the day.
West Ham need to make sure they get a good price for him, but a deal needs to be completed over the coming days.
Out – Gokhan Tore
Gokhan Tore’s signing over the summer was met with anticipation amongst the West Ham fans in the Transfer Tavern, but it just hasn’t worked out.
The winger has suffered with injury and poor form so far this season, and given that he is currently unavailable – Bilic would be wise to try and cut this one short.
He surely won’t play much going forward, so this would make sense for player and club.
