We have six days left until the transfer window closes on Jan 31 and it's vital West Ham act. It's all very well for Moyes to say that "sometimes making the decision not to sign a play can be more of a test" than signing a player to appease the fans. But the fact remains WHU still only have one striker in Antonio, and we are a hamstring pull, a dose of Covid or an international duty injury away from the whole season being derailed.
It's not often West Ham are in with a chance of making the top four, but now we have Wolves coming up the league, Arsenal and Spurs getting results with games in hand and Aston Villa strengthening with Coutinho. Getting any signing at all through the door would be a boost to the squad — and prove to Rice and Bowen that we are ambitious. Of course we don't want to make more expensive mistakes — like Ajeti, Wilshere, Hugill, Haller, Anderson, Yarmolenko et al — but the club also can't afford to stand still when we are still in the Europa League and FA Cup and likely to play 60-odd games. Even if it means paying over the odds we need to sign someone.
