West Ham fans have faced a difficult period over the past 18 months and slipping into the relegation zone prior to the November international break has been the final straw for many.
Those calling for change have seen Slaven Bilic relieved of his duties, being replaced by David Moyes, and now want to see wholesale changes to their squad in January- which includes offloading those who are underperforming.
Amongst the players linked with an exit is Senegalese midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate, who’s agent claims his attracting interest from Premier League rivals and Italian sides after his nation qualified for the World Cup.
Whilst losing an international player may seem like a concern, West Ham fans seem to be prepared to allow Kouyate to leave as they’ve been unimpressed by him in recent years and have taken to social media to express their views on the situation.
