Stuart Pearce says not to 'panic' as West Ham advertise player positions on transfers website
“How they spend that money is the important thing," he said on White and Jordan on Friday morning. “If West Ham just wanted to replace Declan, that’s easy. You just go with a lot of your budget you’ve got in from that Dec deal.
“What I think West Ham need, after their league form last year, is probably between three and five players to come in and supplement what we've got within the squad and improve the team. So you're looking to spread that money if you possibly can and get good value. "I would have thought they would have a healthy budget this summer. Declan has come from the academy and moved on for good money, but there might be finances available on top of that money to spend on players as well.
"Last season I think they spent circa £150million on players, so David Sullivan has gone out and furnished the manager with money, he’s brought in the likes of [Nayef] Aguerd and [Lucas] Paqueta and one or two others.“Now, there's no doubt about it, the club are in a position of reasonable strength. If you take the last three years, they’ve finished 6th in the Premier League, 7th, and then won the Europa Conference League trophy.
"So, it's a really good time to strike now. The fact they've not brought anyone in so far wouldn't panic me. It's when the transfer window shuts, if we haven't bought anyone in by then, that’s a different matter.”Keep up-to-date with all the latest football fixtures, results and standings in our new match centre.
