West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui delighted in a splendid summer season transfer window, with 9 fantastic brand-new gamers getting to the London Stadium.

However, one dissatisfaction was the reality that the West Ham head coach stopped working to generate another centre-back on due date day, specifically after Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd were carried on.

As an outcome, the Spaniard has actually left himself extremely short in the main defensive department, however he has a strategy up his sleeve to alter that.

Egan is obviously the man Lopetegui is surrounding, however most of Hammers fans are fuming about the links.

There have actually been sobs of ‘why not Mats Hummels or Joel Matip?’

However, the Hammers fans versus the possible arrival of Egan need to have extremely brief memories…

John Egan West Ham bound

If the Irishman does transfer to the London Stadium, I believe it will be a wise piece of company from the Hammers.

If the 31-year-old is signed however, some West Ham fans require to forget their presumptions that he is unsatisfactory.

He has actually played over 400 senior video games at club level and is an Ireland global group routine.

Egan is a more than capable main protector, and has substantial experience of dipping into a really high level over the previous years.

He is really good with the ball at his feet also, and he definitely doesn’t get sufficient credit for the capability he has.

The 31-year-old is no world-beater, however he’s not as bad as some individuals are constructing out. Hammers fans don’t require to recall too far for an example of a really comparable finalizing…

Anyone keep in mind Craig Dawson?

West Ham fans need to keep in mind Craig Dawson effect

West Ham offered Craig Dawson to Wolves in January 2023 for around £3.3 million, after he asked to be approved a relocate to a club better to his household home in the north of England.

He initially signed up with the Hammers on a season-long loan from Watford in October 2020.

West Ham then made his transfer to the London Stadium an irreversible one for a more £3 million in the summer season of 2021 (The Sun).

And what a finalizing he showed to be for us. During his time with the Hammers, he was really our finest centre-back – definitely the most trusted.

It actually injured when the now 34-year-old left the London Stadium, however we might reproduce what he used us by signing John Egan.

Egan really has a great deal of comparable credit to Dawson – he’s extremely aggressive in the deal with, has fun with 100% dedication to the cause and is exceptionally trusted.

At completion of the day, the previous Sheffield United protector will not be a routine starter.

In reality, he will just play if there is an extreme injury crisis at the London Stadium or if Lopetegui wishes to rest 2 of our essential protectors at the exact same time.

John Egan is more than efficient in offering strong cover for the existing West Ham protectors for the remainder of the season.

You don’t get 36 global caps for Ireland if you’re not great, it actually is as basic as that.

He is a really strong entertainer, and I’m not versus us signing him on a complimentary transfer at all.
