These are the 3 worst January signings West Ham ever made

Calum Davenport

In January 2007, English centre-back Calum Davenport arrived in East London from Tottenham Hotspur. The claret and blue side paid £3,570,000 for the defender who had previously played 10 times for the Hammers on loan back in 2004.

Despite his hefty transfer fee, Davenport only made 14 appearances after making his move permanent. The defender did score once for West Ham, which is more than can be said for McCarthy.

His career was put under serious threat in August 2009 after being stabbed in both legs, losing 50% of the blood in his body at the time.

Davenport did return to West Ham and had recovered to play football again. Unfortunately for Davenport, his contract was terminated in March 2010.
