12 Aug 2012 16:48:15
Not a rumour.

With west ham looking for a good rb, i think we should try and sign jose boswinga (if spelt correct) be a great signing.

12 Aug 2012 01:34:36
Does anyone think west hams lack of key position signing may have something to do with the new finance fair play system, we really need this investment, I actually like g&s but something still doesn't sem right.... Diame, Collins, diarra might play off but it's the empty positions that don't sem right and silly bids for caroll is a joke and being linked with everyone isn't helping the clubs rep, and is I think a season ticket sale push, god I hope I'm wrong, what do you think ed?? {Ed001's Note - it is similar to ploys that they used successfully at Birmingham, so it is possible. The club doesn't have a lot of money to splash about though, so it is possible that they just attempted to buy but players were out of their budget, and it was an honest attempt.}

11 Aug 2012 17:23:44
I want to know your thoughts if we play a 32131

How comes west ham haven't got much money to spend on transfers yet managed to spend 5 mill on agents fees last season

10 Aug 2012 17:40:22
Pablo Alvaraz in next !!!

10 Aug 2012 15:13:19
Mr Sam, if ur there, please by matt jarvis!, I feel that with him on our side we would be a premier league team to be reckoned with :) hff

10 Aug 2012 13:45:02
Reports claim that Wolves have rejected a £9million bid from West Ham for Matt Jarvis, £6million plus £3million add-ons.

Not being funny but is he worth this amount of money..? Wolves are taking the mick with his price tag. Hes hardly an "England international" featuring only once

10 Aug 2012 08:08:47
Six foot plus, box to box, run around chasing shadows and bully who you can catch! Big Sams transfer targets in a nut shell. where is the quality coming from to unlock better treams?

08 Aug 2012 21:47:29
we r west ham united we r the best team in the world we have got the players and we got the passion we r in the premier league we will support west ham every game every day of the year we will stay in the premier league and go high in the table plus we will sign kenweyne jones kireon richardson moussa kanote johan djouhro maybe alan hutton or kyle knaughton and sanchez

08 Aug 2012 12:18:11
I think we have all now realised that
West Ham have done nothing for the
last few weeks since promotion except
to try and grab as much press coverage
as possible. The Man Utd's etc of this world quietly go about their business until a deal is virtually done and then (and only then) is it advertised to the world.
Whilst I applaud the West Ham board
for making a stand and stating they
will not pay extravagent wages, its not
helped them bring players in and to compound matters they then APPARENTLY offer
a player £90k a week, or did they?
Its becoming quickly apparent that West Ham finally need to sieze the bull by the horn
and re-build the current team into a
squad big enough and capable enough
to firstly survive but also compete in the Premier League.
They had a long hard season last year and its now time that they invest wisely to
maintain Hammers status as a
Premier League team playing from a
fantastic stadium. OR, are they going to
become the Yo Yo team

08 Aug 2012 08:46:28
Wo thinks Michael Owen could be a good signing?

08 Aug 2012 00:04:48
Diame is a great signing, Collins is the type of player we needed to sign and Maida could turn out to be a cracking sign but may struggle in the PL. Bidding for Carroll was ridiculous quite frankly because he is not what we need at the moment. If we sign Moussa Konaté who is a class act and a workhorse we will be fine in the striker department. We need to sign a genuinely pacy winger, a right back to keep pressure on Demel, another good CB to keep pressure on Collins and Tomkins, Richardson at LB would be nice and different type of player to McCartney and we need an attacking CM with a bit more quality, pace and trickery than Nolan to give us another option. We desperately need to make some good signings soon.

07 Aug 2012 23:01:09
Why was we gona waste all that money on flop andy Carroll anyway surely that mOney we was going to spend on him be better to buy a few decent players

07 Aug 2012 13:53:22
Everyone stop moaning look at Wigan they got rubbish players but they got spirit just what we got west ham will stay in the premier league

07 Aug 2012 11:34:42
This is getting sadder and sadder now we are getting really desperate. We are quickly becoming the laughing stock of the Premier League. Please stop it, An absolute shambles at West Ham
and a squad size of 16 when required level
as we all know is 25. The situation
looks even more desperate when we
can't sign a player from Southend
for £150k. I can only assume Sam is
going to use players from development suad
to fill places.......So Sad, gonna be
long, hard disappointing season ending
in relegation.

07 Aug 2012 10:48:43
As previous people have commented, West Ham are fast becoming a shambles.
The first team squad at west ham
now reduced to unhealthy level and
it could get worse if Maynard and Baldock leave.
Funding appears to be tight at West Ham
and therefore I'm not sure where
they are going to get the money to
bring in players.

Not looking good for the Hammers for the forthcoming season and a pretty safe
bet to get your money on for
relegation. Sam Allardyce's odds have
been slashed as first manager to get the chop

06 Aug 2012 10:20:18
West ham considering loan move for Romelu Lukaku after missing out on Andy Carroll.
Rumour also starting AGAIN that West Ham may be about to try and bring back TEVEZ (Really)
Yannick Sagbo the Evian Striker has stated his no 1 choice is West Ham.COYI.........P9389

06 Aug 2012 10:15:22
Well well, west ham have just wasted 10 days chasing Andy Carroll and in the meantime been OVER RUN by IPSWICH. OK, so a few players were missing but put the performance into context, its not looking good. West Ham still have the same old problem. No real threat up front in Cole, no midfield playmaker and a poor defence.

Rumour after rumour posted states West Ham targets but if they are to stay up we have got to get a real hitman up front that has the pace and power to worry defences,

We seriously need defenders and we got to do it quick

06 Aug 2012 09:30:56
Seems that ravel's off to brum on a season long loan deal, might do him good, but id prefer him to stay with us, hopefully we can call him back should the need arise

06 Aug 2012 08:37:19
Ravel on his way to brum in a loan deal pretty clear potts /spence/hall need to go out on loan to chp sides with piqs/baldock expected to leave and that will leave us a squad size off 17 players and take into account some players aint prem quality as it stands we need another two c/bs l/b r/b right winger poss 2 strikers we need 2 players for every position...

05 Aug 2012 22:41:27
Rondon signed for Rubin Kazan

05 Aug 2012 18:21:44
If any Bristol city fan is reading this then... Good. I will tell you what you will get from baldock. Hes fast like theo Walcott. He's got a good eye for goal. He deserves a place on man city's team not Bristol city's team. Anyway, your gonna get a good quality striker, better than that nicky Maynard. He's useless! You lost NOTHING when he came to us!

05 Aug 2012 16:29:49
If bfs sam thinks that back line will keep us he will very wrong those 1st 6 games will be massive for us they are games we can pick up points from..
we all know whu fans know what players need replacing ie demel etc if bfs aint up for the job stand aside my prediction bfs gone in 6 games arry will step into the breach

05 Aug 2012 05:54:10
I wish all you people would stop talking s***. Not one single post has nearly been correct, so let's all zip it until the season starts

05 aug 2012 01:02:45
please don't sell sam baldock !!
and don't bother with carroll ... get defoe !!
and a defence !!

04 Aug 2012 20:24:05
Up the hammers
im a forest fan any truth maynard is coming to us

04 Aug 2012 14:24:12
At the end of the day yes everyone loves baldock but who would you rather as a back up, konate (19) baldock (23) Maynard (25)? I would prefer konate!

02 Aug 2012 10:24:29
im a liverpool fan and was just wondering if Vaz Te is going to stay at Upton Park. I kept an eye on west ham last season in the championship and felt vaz te was brilliant.

01 Aug 2012 16:36:03
team looks very solid for next season with:
jasskleleinan(sorrry for spelling)
demel tomkins collins taylor
collison nolan noble diame vaz te
cole
deffinatley on paper a prem side

01 Aug 2012 16:29:40
Baldock off to charlton with chris solly coming to west ham

01 Aug 2012 11:15:26
James Collins joins West Ham for an undisclosed fee! Quite happy to have him back at West Ham, but if his wages match his £40,000 a week at Aston Villa, I don't know where I stand.

31 Jul 2012 23:54:52
Our starting eleven come on you irons

GK Jussi
DR Simpson
DC Tomkins
DC Collins
DL McCartney
RM VAZ TE
CM DIAME
CM NOLAN
CM NOBLE
CM MAIGA
ST CARROLL

31 Jul 2012 10:00:23
they said a bid was accepted and Andy C was coming to west ham, then Liverpool and west ham both denied a bid was made, now their saying a bid was accepted but Andy Carroll doesn't want to go, what's really going on??

31 Jul 2012 09:19:13
if the record bid is for Andy Carroll then from jack Sullivan's twitter we will sign him hopefully by tomorrow. that's if its Andy were after.

30 Jul 2012 20:18:06
West ham have agreed a £2 million loan deal, with an option to make it permanent if we avoid relegation and £17 million on top

30 Jul 2012 18:11:46
West ham too offer kazim-richards a permanent contract after impressive pre-season displays

30 Jul 2012 16:24:46
Has Guti played any part in the friendlies so far, or is he still building his fitness up?

30 Jul 2012 11:06:14
We have to keep baldock guys hes been working really hard in pre-season i think we need to give him some games hes putting in loads off effort

29 Jul 2012 18:49:26
Not really a rumour, but who would you guys have in your starting team? at the moment it seems as if the competition up front and on the wings is very competitive, defense however i'm still worried

29 Jul 2012 06:26:07
Has ramis signed subject to passing a medical ? because if he hasnt signed yet why would advertise it only takes a team to step up and offer better terms

28 Jul 2012 16:26:37

After seeing West Ham play Dynamo Dresden last night on live streaming, I would suggest that the club focus more on finding some decent defenders than trying to impress the fans with a 6th striker ! We need to get rid of Guy Demel needs ply his trade in the Championship and learn how to defend before he comes to the Premiership. He was absolutely woeful last night ! Winston Reids performance was also very poor. In my opinion Wwinston Reid is going to struggle in the premierleague. So Fat Sam, Gould and Sullivan - get ur heads out of your arses, forget about Carroll and trying to impress by spending 17 Mill on a player worth 10 Mill tops. Use the money to buy one right back and another central defender with some class. Then pay the 7 mill for Joselu instead.

27 Jul 2012 20:35:43
Castignos signed for FC twente

26 Jul 2012 15:44:27
Rumours are flying around twitter that sold are not only out in Spain looking at potential signings,but also possibly new investors, would be good to see someone buy that last 35% back of the biscuit barons, and push some much needed cash into our club, apparently nothing will be said until after the Olympics .....watch this space

25 Jul 2012 16:25:29
JAck sullivan trying to panic us into
thinking we gonna get Andy Carroll.
Its clear we could get Joselu and
Catsaignos for the same money so
this has me worried

24 Jul 2012 19:15:13
With defensive signings now a priority, Allardyce is stepping up in his pursuit to sign FC Twente centre half Douglas for a fee in the region of £4.5m. Next on the list is a full back and Big Sam's first choice is Newcastle right back Danny Simpson, who may be available if the right offer comes in.

Meanwhile trialist Bilel Moshni seems to have earned himself a chance of a transfer, his versatility at being able to play at centre half and centre forward seems to have swayed Allardyce into making a swoop for the Southend Utd player. Other trialist Colin-Kazim Richards however, despite travelling to Germany with the first team squad, seems unlikely to seal a move.

24 Jul 2012 12:40:30
How many goalkeepers does one team need. And whilst we are on the subject of
goal keepers its nice to see Rob Green
back to his old antics with another blunder

I think West ham need to focus on crucial areas that they need to strengthen before
its to late and stop buying goalkeepers

Defence is an absolute must and if they
think they can survive in the premier
league with Cole, Maynard, Maiga and
Vaz Te they are dreaming

23 Jul 2012 11:11:11
All we hear is rumour after rumour, and bid accepted, then failed to agree terms, player moves to reading ,saints, or qpr. we are loosing out on the best available talent on offer, loosing out on free transfers, and loosing any chance of retaining our premiership status. the board needs to back bfs now! or i fear we will not get the players that are of a required standard. if we continue to miss out on all the free transfers, we will be left with no choice but to dip in to our pockets to buy players, and being as we cant afford to do that , bar a few million, we will not sign any one else other than possible loan signings.
i fear the board are trying to be too tight with there financial restrictions they have imposed on bfs. although some players want over the odds in wages, our inabillity to go a few quid further, will undoubtedly place us in a perilous position , and while we agonise over it , we are told to be happy, and back the team, well the whole reason for this post , is because i back the team , there in my blood, which is why i worry so much for our future

22 Jul 2012 00:34:32
How do all u hammers think we should line up next year 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 ? Me personal 4-5-1 with gk jasskelien rb demel cb tomkins and Reid lb need a new one cm noble Nolan and Diame wingers vaz te and Taylor and stirker maiga

20 Jul 2012 22:23:50
Biel mohsni scores for west ham united developement squad sign him up for the hammers

19 Jul 2012 14:12:21
If the rumours about a possible move for Jozelu are true..and we are fortunate enough to get him..I think we are in for a treat. I never heard much about him before but took a look on youtube and watched some of his games. He has a remarkable eye for goal, positioning sense, pace and more importantly a quality finish. I really hope that ther is substance in the rumours or I will be really pissed off with the knob who posted it.

19 Jul 2012 10:57:18
This is not a rumour but all l want to find out we'res all the stories about k.Richardson , W.Gallas and or other top defenders yes l know there is still 1 month to go for season to start but y wait will other clubs get our choices then their price goes up get our players get em used to big Sam's style of play and show the Premier League where not here to make up the numbers come on you irons forever a Hammer ....Ausie John

18 Jul 2012 17:29:33
Signed maiga 4 year deal

18 Jul 2012 17:12:57
Can we all calm down a bit now Maiga's signed. He's the first, more will follow. Cut the neg vibes, understand that we haven't got loads of money, and get behind BFS & the team. Doc.

18 Jul 2012 17:10:23
Maiga has signed four year deal. Doc. COYI

18 Jul 2012 13:59:44
BBC website today Craig Bellamy unsure where he will be next season!
How about Big Sam move in for him and make him a hammer again. He did well for us beofre his move to Man City and could do it again. proven premiership player and in my mind a good signing and will score goals.

18 Jul 2012 11:21:54
Sam you really should stand down if you can't produce one decent signing in the next week

17 Jul 2012 21:00:02
Carroll has said on ssn that if anyfin he would rather b loaned out than sold personally I feel west ham should act quickly in tryin to get a deal, coz all the other targets we've had have signed else where and the clocks ticking fast if west ham have any chance of getting a good start to season they need to get a squad together sharp so they gel in time for the first game.. Approx been 2 weeks since we've signed sum one and no disrespects to cold but we need a goal scorer ASAP to link with vaz te I don't think cole will find the prem easy this year.. I'm getting so frustrated with rumours of promising players to come in and then nothing I jus want to hear we've signed some prem quality players of which has a proven goal scoring striker..coyi!

17 Jul 2012 15:27:26
West ham united - Are the cracks
beginnning to show already before the season has even started?? Worrying times for
my beloved hammers. I always believe
and remain in hope that we can be
competitive this season, but as each day
passes my concerns increase that we
simply aren't gonna be ready.
I would love to be more optimistic but
when we won play offs I figured we'd
have funding to build a reasonable
squad to compete but Sam Allardyce
has explained, he has lost out on target after target. GOD HELP US!

17 Jul 2012 13:10:17
West Ham Banter:

In response to the bod that posted
at 17 Jul 2012 10:49:46 saying he was
fed up with Gullivan, I gotta say. I
feel exactly the same and I am sick of
seeing teams like Fulham, Reading etc who are no better than us making more attractive
offers and players moving to them.
This is by no means disrespectful to any
of the other premiership teams but we must
surely be able to attract players to the
Boleyn. Our issue is WAGE DEMANDS.
Decent players are not gonna join
for peanuts. I respect what Gullivans
are trying to do and reduce our debt
but come on, give us a fighting chance
of staying up next year.

Investment I'm afraid is required
now and quality of players we currently have will not survive in premier league. Once relegated
we will then lose out on the likes of
Tomkins and be in a worse situation
than we have ever been

17 Jul 2012 11:12:33
If we did get berbatov he'd be a quality signing, he's score 15 goals in his first season 12 in his second and 20 in his third at man u, and that's without regular first team action. He could easily knock in 15 goals next season.

17 Jul 2012 10:49:46
Fed up with the situation at upton park regarding gullivan ,the lack of investment, and the inabiillity to sign our targets, then to be in cloud cuckoo land over andy carroll.
if , as they so eloquently put it, we are to achieve a top 6 finish in the next few years, we need investment now, or we will be back in the championship , and the few stars we do have will move on, i fear for our future, imagine being james tomkins , you know your wanted by clubs expected to win trophys this year , and the team your with , dont bring in any talent , wouldnt you want to leave, back the manager or ruin our beloved club

16 Jul 2012 15:05:40
The maiga deal looks to be over due to the players high wage demands.

16 Jul 2012 08:42:56
Reckon Gullivan are doing the usual for us and making moves for all these so called targets
and as we all know we will end up with
nothing but rubbish bought at the last minute.
Latest news is that berbatov, owen and Rhodes
are all available as is Castagnios but we are
for some apparent reason targettiing
Carroll what a joke.
About time Gullivan got out and sold
the club to someone who is willing to
invest. Tony Fernandes should have bought us
and we'd be in much better position

16 Jul 2012 08:20:44
For those West Ham fans out there, can
someone please explain why we would
spend £15m on Carroll when we could
use the same money to bring in Jordan
Rhodes and Luc Castagnios (Total
£14m). We could then sell Cole keep Baldock
and also have Maiga and Vaz Te.

15 Jul 2012 18:55:55
Feel we are going down once again owners don't want to spend there money probably have worst owners in league wish fernandes bought us the players he bring in now at qpr

15 Jul 2012 17:42:32
Andy Carroll has reluctantly said If a loan move away from Liverpool to get regular first team action has said he would do go on loan .. Big sam better move in quick .. And I no there's a few unsure supporters that don't agree with carroll but what have we got to lose he would b one of whu's biggest signings in a long while who has great potential and even more so to shut brendan Rodgers up .. I've followed west ham all my life and I've gotta say we've lost the hammers way.. Time for a change big sams got us back have sum faith carrol defo suits sams style all I'm sayin is we cud b on a winner

15 Jul 2012 12:21:21
As a west ham fan I've heard it all now. We are unable to bring in any quality strikers but possibly Sam Baldock and Carlton Cole could be departing. What is going on!
Premiership clubs are strengthening and we are getting rid.
Our squad is already down and we getting rid of more.
WHat is Sam gonna do, bring in 13 defenders? I Am puzzled at whats going on. ANyone got any ideas?|

14 Jul 2012 12:47:40
West ham owners need to pull the fingers out and get some decent player getting out done by the teams that come up with us looks like we be going straight back to championship at this rate clyne looks like going Southampton now what happened to that deal wish fernandes bought us now the players he bring to qpr

14 Jul 2012 10:21:47
This isnt a rumour more of a opinion, i think that Maiga would be a good singning but would be a mistake if we relied on him to bring our Goals next season i wouldnt mind a Punt on Michael Owen. Also we need two wingers in my opinion with pace and crossing ability essential if we are going to be relying on a big man like Kenwyn Jones or Carlton who i think will actually have a decent season next year. A centre back will be essential this year as well need to be solid i wouldnt mind going for dunne and collins of villa one for the bench and one to partner Tompkins

13 Jul 2012 22:26:28
Michael Owen wants top flight football and something he will enjoy! I don't see why west ham are not making a move for him he would be great for Carlton cole and Vaz te to play alongside an Maynard would learn so much from this premiership performer!

Similar deal to what he at man U pay as you play goal bonus or a small basic weekly wage with good appearance an goal bonust structure for a London club which would be a different experience for Owen.

Big Sam get on the case and sign him up!

13 Jul 2012 20:38:05
Nathan clyne in talks with Southampton now... Owners need to get a grip if they don't open there cheque book and sign some decent players we will be back in championship next season sack big Sam come back up with new manager same old same old.. Wish fernandes bought us the squad he putting together at qpr

13 Jul 2012 17:32:27
West ham making a very ambitious move to sign arsenals Aaron ramsy. Heard it from a very VERY reliable source!!!!
Exciting news. :). :). :).

13 Jul 2012 11:21:39
Another demonstration of West Ham
intent this season in the premier l
eague, whereby they couldn't land
a target who's contract had ended:

"Southampton are set to sign Crystal Palace defender Nathaniel Clyne after agreeing
a fee with Crystal Palace"

Its becoming alarmingly apparent that
West Ham are still financially in a bad
way and unable to improve. This was
recently also indicated when G&S
stated they had salary cap. Hardly
surprising Big Sam can't attract the
right calibre of players. The writing is
already on the wall

13 Jul 2012 00:05:12
Ricardo vas te to hand in transfer request as he is not happy with wages. He says he deserves more for helping west ham go up even though his wages has just doubled to 20,000 a week. I do not want this to be true but I heard it from daily mirror which is usually pretty reliable.
