West Ham are riding the crest of a wave at present and should be looking to capitalise on their momentum in the January transfer window.
That’s according to former England cricketer and talkSPORT pundit Darren Gough.
They’ve been very quiet [in the summer]. But they might come out and spend a few. They’ve got the backing now. The atmosphere is rocking. They are selling full houses most of the time. The club is in a good place. They have got a good manager. They have got good players. There’s a passion among the fans. So for me, it’s a no brainer. They have to go out and bring in a couple of good players in January.
As domestic football takes a temporary backseat the Hammers sit third in the Premier League and await Europa League knockout action in the new year following a Carabao Cup quarter-final meeting with Tottenham.
Meanwhile, fellow talkSPORT host Laura Woods has been jumping to the defence of supporters after former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan seemingly took a swipe at the ‘we are massive’ craze.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
This is the prime opportunity to capitalise on what has been a superb start to the season.
In the wake of the cruel Angelo Ogbonna news, David Moyes may target a central defender whilst a striker department is a glaringly obvious area in need of improvement.
Albeit left until the final hours the club did eventually back Moyes in the summer and similar levels of investment in January could see a truly extraordinary second half of the 2021/22 campaign unfold.
As for the Woods v Jordan debate, there is no contest…
