    Morning guys,

    What's your opinion on west ham's transfer policy?

    To me it seems they seem very similar to the Newcastle of past in that their means of attracting big players is by offering a huge weekly wage to average/ past it players?

    They seemed to be doomed this season and albeit their recent signings are loan deals, but I fail to see how they will help the club in any way?

    Your thoughts?

    I think that, due to the events over recent seasons, they are not seen as an attractive move by players. I am not trying to knock them as a club, but if you were an established premiership standard player, would you see going to West ham as a good career move?

    This is probably similar to how players thought of us during the season in which we were relegated. We were lucky to get Kevin Nolan in the Jan window, but I bet loads of players would have turned us down.

    Depend's if the players WHU bring in are in for the fight against relegation.

    We had some players who were guttless and they knew they would get a move back to The Prem.
