Former West Ham midfielder Martin Allen has been expressing his delight at the summer transfer business at the London Stadium.
After a quiet start to the window, the Hammers were able to sign Kurt Zouma, Alex Kral and Nikola Vlasic in the final days.
That trio joined Alphonse Areola as the new additions to a squad that finished sixth in the Premier League last season.
Speaking to The West Ham Way podcast, the 56-year-old was in awe of the way David Moyes had gone about the business.
I can’t believe it. Some of the players we’ve signed, I feel we’ve gone for quality and not quantity. They’ve found the right characters. The two Czech lads have brought over one of their teammates [Alex Kral] and I think he’ll be a good find.
Allen represented the club on 65 occasions during a playing career before turning to management.

This window certainly felt like a more calculated approach from West Ham.
In previous incarnations, the club might’ve panic bought in order to have sufficient numbers to cope with the demands.
However, on this occasion, Moyes and first-team coach Stuart Pearce were adamant only players of sufficient quality will be considered.
Given the stature of the signings, Hammers can be confident of competing both domestically and on the European stage this season.
