West Ham United’s transfer window is OVER and Hammer fans can’t agree on one thing:
Was this smart business… or a missed opportunity?
After months of rumours, negotiations and late-night refreshes, the Hammers closed the window with plenty of movement but no blockbuster headline signing. And that’s where the debate really begins.
WHAT WEST HAM GOT RIGHT
To be fair, this wasn’t a chaotic window.
West Ham strengthened key areas that hurt them last season, particularly in midfield depth and defensive cover. There’s a clear sense of planning, with signings aimed at balance and stability, not just headlines.
Recruitment felt calmer, more disciplined a far cry from previous panic-filled windows. Some additions look like quietly smart deals that could pay off big over time.
BUT HERE’S THE PROBLEM…
Fans were expecting a statement — and it never came.
There’s still concern about:
Lack of creativity in the final third
No proven goal machine to guarantee 15–20 goals
A feeling that West Ham played it too safe
Rivals strengthened aggressively. West Ham? They reinforced but didn’t intimidate.
SO… WHAT’S THE REAL VERDICT?
This window feels like one designed to avoid disaster, not chase glory.
It keeps West Ham competitive.
It keeps the squad functional.
But does it push the club closer to the top six dream?
That’s where doubts creep in.
FINAL RATING: 6.5 / 10
Not a flop.
Not a triumph.
Just enough to keep things steady for now.
But if results dip early, don’t be surprised if fans start asking the hard questions…
What do YOU think? Smart window or missed chance?
