West Ham Rumours

19 Jan 2026 21:02:00
JWP, as first posted on the 16th, Burnley are moving along with this loan and option project

CHEEK, Burnley want WH to pay a portion of his salary of £115 k a week

Why should WH pay a relegation rival, a subsidy?, next they want loan only if they are relegated, no mandatory clause inserted

JWP contract runs till summer 27
He's not giving up those wages for sure

This is the proof of the pudding, if he wanted to play regular football, he could voluntarily take a wage cut, as suggested by WH,


and be off to Burnley for the season at least to prove himself, which WH would sanction,

I know there's been a lot of discussion around this player, on this page

I havnt given an opinion, but at present time, looks like the player, prefers the bench and money to playing football

Yes contracts can be changed, for a temporarily, period if both parties are willing, let's see what happens

19 Jan 2026 19:25:13
Apparently Wolfsburg had an €18.9m euro bid accepted for Cresswell but the player has rejected the move, what is Sullivan waiting for 🤷

19 Jan 2026 20:46:48
STEVIE, it was posted last week mate, Sullivan doesn’t want to pay 20 m euro plus for Cresswell

Sullivan turned down the chance to buy him for 13 m euro last summer and wouldn’t go above 11 m

He may have to go for it though as, others are reluctant to come

19 Jan 2026 22:25:34
He's waiting for the paquetta money

19 Jan 2026 16:06:56
Keiber Lamadrid? Odd one this one

19 Jan 2026 16:21:37
Below radar, but? Shot in the dark, or a player, ? no doubt we will soon find out

19 Jan 2026 16:40:19
Had a look. Both he and Kebbal look skilful, purposeful and very hard to knock off the ball (which is key in the PL) . Both have good stats for goal involvement.

Full of energy.

At the prices being bandied about:

Lamadrid = very cheap loan and very cheap option to but (no brainer)

Kebbal = £9m has been mentioned (looks an absolute bargain in today’s market) .

I know Nuno is a fan of Traore, but I’d leave well alone if these two are in the running.

I also want to know what’s going on the CDM and CB front.

19 Jan 2026 16:47:31
Its a sulli special. Loan with an option to buy for 1m.

Worth a punt really not much risk. Ones got to come off eventually?

19 Jan 2026 16:55:54
And clearly we can see what type of players Nuno wants

19 Jan 2026 16:56:38
U tube films mean nothing unfortunately, premier league a different situation, to where these players come from, the speed and intensity , sometimes comes as a shock

But not much of a gamble, involved

20 Jan 2026 00:37:01
I agree that YouTube “highlights” should be taken with a pinch of salt, but they do show plenty of information about a player. First touch, pace, ability to shoot/score, eye for the defence splitting pass etc, etc.

Of course, it’s not under the pressure of PL physicality, but no other league is, day in day out.

19 Jan 2026 16:00:26
MAGASSA, 4 clubs now enquire availability of Magassa, Galatasaray Juventus A. C Milan, plus one un named

No transfer request has been made

HAYDEN HACKNEY, the player WH SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT, 6 months back

Then available for £18 m, Will Boro take £30 m now if offered?

They are in great slot for auto promotion, so they should say No thanks, BUT money talks but this would be NO CHEAP deal

For WH a definitive YES, serious player, exactly what's needed

19 Jan 2026 16:44:19
Was going to say we should be looking at Hackney again but didn't think boro would sell in the position they are in, he would add something to our midfield for sure and if we went down we would have arguably one of the best midfielders in the championship. Is this something we are actually considering or someone you think we should get?

19 Jan 2026 17:06:17
WH are seriously thinking about a bid, how much, do we pay ? But there’s no cheap way here, WH can forget about that, but I hear, they may have a go

BUT a big asset he would be, either staying up or going down, very skilful mdf

19 Jan 2026 18:52:36
big big mistake selling Magassa in my opinion. fans won't want to hear it but he is way better than Potts. Should be keeping him and starting alongside Fernandes

19 Jan 2026 19:12:26
Problem CM, can’t have players coming in, and no exits, also they have to look at who is going to bring in money

It’s a difficult balance anyway, much further complicated by our league position

19 Jan 2026 11:13:32
KOVAVIC, tricky one this, moving on to 32, had three surgeries
, two on heel, one on foot

Massive experience, his quality is obvious, however

WH cannot offer big money if they drop, looks like WH, may skip this player, in all fairness it's understandable, if they do

19 Jan 2026 09:40:33
Well, It's late in the day, but WH are now trying to sort the squad out, obviously, it's in a attempt to stay up, but equally, no one's signing, that doesn't acknowledge the drop

IF ONLY this was done pre season!,

Realistically, WH need 38 points, to have any chance to stay in this league, to get 21 points from 16 games, six wins, three draws?

At the same time, other clubs, will need to fall that's always a possibility

This Saturdays , hard game against in form Sunderland, will tell us , our direction, if we win, confidence will take root

18 Jan 2026 20:29:33
ADEMOLA LOOKMAN, WH are. Considering offering 40 m euros for the player

If they do there's a good chance it will be accepted

However, will the player come under the present circumstances?

Let's be honest, he would be an excellent addition

18 Jan 2026 21:05:19
Joyfull, let’s hope he signs, we’re not down yet,

19 Jan 2026 16:01:27
Be a great signing, always rated Lookman but cannot see him coming to us😟😟 London born lad, not sure that will make any difference after all the travelling around he’s done but you never know🤞🤞🤞⚒⚒⚒

16 Jan 2026 20:18:52
JONATHAN DAVID Well we'll we'll, how the mighty have fallen, Not only have WH slid, so has this once vaunted striker

WH and Wolves, now think he's available, it's a small possibility

17 Jan 2026 09:27:36
Personally don't see it happening. With 2 strikers already in, yes he can play wide but predominantly plays through the middle.

17 Jan 2026 09:44:03
To be honest I don't understand what the long term vision is for this window.

Clearly no urgency to get a CB

17 Jan 2026 10:22:40
If we’ve got money to spend the go and get a CB, it’s bloody obvious that’s where we need to strengthen 🤷

17 Jan 2026 10:52:11
There havnt been any long terms plans for our club, full stop, that’s the main reason we are now in big time decline

17 Jan 2026 22:10:53
The daily mail article is pretty accurate then

18 Jan 2026 19:03:09
It’s fair to say we need 2 decent centre backs, should be our absolute priority, mavropanos should be a back up to a Todibo or 2 other centre backs, just get kilman out, try and pay for him to leave and why he keeps getting on the pitch I will never know.


Nuno is a decent manager but uses very questionable substitutes which puts pressure on us.

16 Jan 2026 15:49:30
JWP. Burnley loan with option, talks , let's see

15 Jan 2026 15:45:07
RODRIGUEZ, Gremio now in talks with WH, to actually buy this player

Guido wants a payoff from WH for the remaining 5 months of his contract approx £1.5 m

Gremio have offered a low price for the player, not known

WH now considering taking the low offer for the player, and paying him off to say goodbye

Let's hope they do, best idea, useless purchase, nothing but a limpet

15 Jan 2026 18:07:27
Yeah pay him off, he’s not exactly playing much is he, so get rid and get someone in that will make a contribution.
