The signing of Kalvin Phillips on loan by West Ham in January reportedly highlighted a divergence in transfer approach between manager David Moyes and director of football Tim Steidten.
As per The Athletic’s Roshane Thomas, Moyes was a strong advocate for the loan deal, despite it lacking a purchase option, which clashed with Steidten’s preference for securing players on a permanent basis.
Phillips’ stint at West Ham was marred by difficulties. He struggled on the field, contributing to several conceded goals and receiving a red card. His loan was cut short due to injury, resulting in a return to Manchester City.
The article underscores the impracticality of a potential purchase option, given Phillips’ poor performances, suggesting that Steidten would not have supported such a move regardless.
Furthermore, it implied that Moyes may have been solely responsible for the Phillips signing, which could have played a role in his eventual departure from the club.
West Ham supporters expressed disappointment with the loan deal, labeling it a “disaster” and potentially the club’s worst signing ever.
This situation prompts questions about West Ham’s future transfer strategy. With Moyes gone, Steidten may wield greater influence in future deals, with hopes of avoiding costly mistakes in the transfer market.
