West Ham board deliver on Premier League promise
After the failed experiment with foreign players such as Simone Zaza and Gokhan Tore the board promised to focus on players with Premier League experience and I think they have been true to their word and have delivered on that promise.
In June West Ham Chairman David Gold told Talk Sport: “We have tried the route of going overseas to bring in players — that hasn’t worked. We had a very difficult season because players we brought in from Europe didn’t make the grade and we paid the price. We struggled.”
“We were actually flirting for some time with relegation because we couldn’t score goals. That is why we have got to bring in players with Premier League experience and that is what we are working on now. David Sullivan is working day and night in an effort to solve this problem.”
That new revolution started with the signing Robert Snodgrass from Hull City and Jose Fonte from Southampton in January this year. This summer that has been followed Pablo Zabaleta and Joe Hart from Manchester City and hopefully very soon they will be joined both Javier Hernandez formally from Manchester United and Marko Arnautović from Stoke City to complete the transfer window dealings.
