West Ham vice-chairperson Karen Brady has taken a fresh dig at Robert Snodgrass.
Snodgrass joined the Hammers during the January transfer window in 2017 but ended up leaving the club during the summer after failing to hit the ground running and he subsequently joined Championship outfit Aston Villa were he has done well on loan.
“Yes, we’ve tried it before and sometimes it’s worked,” she wrote.
“Other times, there has been an element of ‘We must do something, anything’ — and we’ve paid for ill-fitting players.
“Robert Snodgrass wasn’t exactly a triumph, while Hammers fans could name several foreign players who added little.
“The obvious fact is we need one or two who the manager believes will be a real plus. But no bargains that fall apart under the Prem’s pressure.”
Brady was discussing her aims for 2018 and mentioned that a good January transfer window is chief among them.
The Hammers are one of the teams that will be looking to bring in new recruits during the January transfer window in order to ensure that they avoid Premier League relegation this season.
