Over last summer and January, the Hammers signed nine players with an average age of 25.9 (per Transfermarkt), which would suggest the direction has not been changed just yet.
So, following the suggestion from @ExWHUemployee, fans continued to air that they did not believe that the club would be making any kind of change.

They have to do that, they have to sort the wage policy as much as the transfer policy

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses from supporters, it is clear that they do not believe that there will be any kind of direction change and that it is something which they have heard before.
However, what can also be deduced from the responses is that if the change was actually made, then it would be a welcome one for the London Stadium faithful.
