Merson gives Hammers transfer window grade

Sky Pundit Paul Merson has graded West Ham’s summer transfer business at a B+ but says they should be spending £100m

Major ins: Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City, free), Joe Hart (Manchester City, loan), Marko Arnautovic (Stoke, £25m), Javier Hernandez (Bayer Leverkusen, £16m).

Major outs: Darren Randolph (Middlesbrough, £5m), Reece Oxford (Borussia Monchengladbach, loan), Alvaro Arbeloa (retired), Havard Nordtveit (Hoffenheim, £8m), Enner Valencia (Tigres, undisclosed), Ashley Fletcher (Middlesbrough, £6.5m), Sofiane Feghouli (Galatasaray, undisclosed), Robert Snodgrass (Aston Villa, loan).

MERSE SAYS: Pablo Zabaleta is a good pro, but is coming towards the end of his career, but I think they’ve made three strong signings in Joe Hart, Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez. However, it’s not enough, is it? I saw Tony Gale on TV, saying they have spent £4m net in four years which is ridiculous. They should be spending £100m, but I will give them a decent grade because what they have brought in is decent.
