West Ham fans are absolutely crucifying David Moyes, after the manager said he thought they had the best January transfer window in the Premier League.
David Moyes isn’t exactly making things easy on himself at West Ham, and the former Manchester United man has once again opened himself up to criticism.
Speaking ahead of Thursday night’s clash with his former club, the manager said: “I think West Ham arguably had the best January of any club in the Premier League because we sold three players, made a profit, bought one, brought in only Jordan Hugill.
The Hammers also added Joao Mario on loan, and brought Patrice Evra in after the window closed.
Of course, Jordan Hugill has become a bit of a running joke amongst West Ham fans, as the ex-Preston striker has barely seen the light of day since the move.

“We sold Fonte, Sakho, Andre Ayew. You could say that was a risk, and if it hadn’t worked you could probably be critical of our January,” Moyes continued.
“It wasn’t for the want of trying. We tried to get one or two other players. We ended up with less players, and the one thing we’re short of is numbers here.
“So you could argue we had the best January because we made a good profit and still stayed up.”
To be fair to the manager, the Hammers did shift some dead wood from the squad and have indeed avoided the drop, but it’s not exactly been much fun for fans along the way.
Fans have slowly but surely turned against the Scotsman, and they’re crucifying him for the transfer comments.
