When the last summer transfer window closed, West Ham fans were filled with optimism after spending more than £100million and a new, highly regarded manager in Julen Lopetegui overseeing them.
That optimism lasted all of five months as the Spaniard was sacked on January 8 with just seven wins from 22 games in all competitions, and a number of the Hammers' big-money arrivals struggling to make an impact.
This summer, after finishing 14th in the Premier League, West Ham must go again and ensure the players they bring in are to manager Graham Potter's tastes.
