Aaron's a Hammer

Yet another signing. Aaron Wan-Bissaka looks a tidy bit of business at £15 million. A player who is a fine one-on-one defender and likes a tackle should be what the WHU defence need. Coufal is 31 and better at assists, but we now have the option of starting with Wan-Bissaka and bringing on Vlad of we are trying to break down teams. He's only 26 and was Crystal Palace's player of the season before joining Man United five seasons ago. At Old Trafford he's won the League Cup and FA Cup and played in a Europa League Final, so plenty of big-game experience. 

Quite where this leaves West Ham in terms of financial fair play is unclear as we've spent a lot of money (£130 million plus while recouping £40 million) and some sales surely need to be made. The selling situation hasn't been helped by the news that Kurt Zouma, who is on big wages, has failed a medical to join UAE side Shabab Al-ahli. Hopefully the clubs can  sort out a pay-as-you-play arrangement.

But in terms of squad strength, the arrival of Wan-Bissaka plus Fullkrug, Summerviile, Rodriguez, Kilman, Todibo and Guilherme is looking really exciting.

Yes a very good addition and I hope Coufal stays and competes for the position, like most supporters I am stunned by the quality rebuild of the squad but cant relax until I see them playing like a "team". Hats off to to Tim S.
