Poor signing
West Ham should adopt a more methodical approach in the transfer window to avoid such financial missteps.
The 27-year-old defender, deemed surplus at West Ham, suggests a lack of strategic player management as he was never likely to be a first-team regular.
Even when he joined, fans were not overly excited by his arrival as they had witnessed his underwhelming performances in the past.

Careful planning becomes crucial, especially with players departing for tournaments like the Africa Cup of Nations, necessitating a stable and reliable squad.
A more methodical transfer strategy would involve thorough scouting, considering long-term squad dynamics, and avoiding short-term fixes that may prove costly.
Hopefully, under Tim Steidten, there’s a more settled look to the recruitment at the club and there’s a lot of due diligence done before getting deals over the line.
Kehrer is likely to have played his final game at the club and he’s undoubtedly not lived up to expectations.
