With West Ham’s season beginning with a 4-0 loss to Manchester United and the transfer window still open, many fans have been voicing their opinion on social media.
The Hammers fan base are still recovering from their defeat at Old Trafford, with their performance well below par. New signings Pablo Zabaleta, Marco Arnuatovic and Javier Hernandez had debuts to forget, all for differing reasons.
The Argentinian right-back was given a torrid afternoon by Marcus Rashford, the former Stoke City man Arnuatovic failed to trouble Antonio Valencia, while Hernandez struggled to test his former teammate David de Gea.
Hammer’s fans, along with talk about the weekend’s result, have also been discussing transfer action involving their side.
Winger Sofiane Feghouli has left for Galatasaray after failing to make a real impact for the London side. The Algerian winger joined the Turkish club on a five-year contract for €4.25 million, as per Galatasaray’s .
The 27-year-old scored four goals for West Ham last season, making 27 appearances. He only stayed at the club for a season after joining from Valencia on a three-year deal.

Didn't necessarily expect a win, but a pulse would have been nice.

Defended well in the first half, poor in the second. Lacked creativity without Lanzini, credit to them though they are an unreal team.

Finally, supporters were also divided by the news of Robert Snodgrass’ potential exit…
Can't remember being as discounted about a signing as have been with Snodgrass. No impact what so ever since joining the club.

Still think he should be given until January. He's not settled and spending £10m to then get rid now for less is silly business.
