West Ham Rumours

Most of the posts go to the West Ham Banter page.

Yesterday was the worst performance I have ever seen by a West Ham team and I have seen many bad games over the years.

I don’t care who is the manager at present they would all struggle to get a tune out of this lot. Whoever was involved with recruitment last summer should hang their heads in shame.

Yesterday as normal our back four had the most touches during the game enough said.
We didn’t press, create chances and some of the substitutions were mind boggling.

The hardest thing in the summer is moving some of these players on, anyone on loan should be sent back to their parent club not good enough at this level.

PS let’s cut out the snipping at each other thought we all supported the same team!

Totally agree with final sentence, it’s impossible for everybody to agree on all comments, but we are all supporters, we may come from different areas, different walks of life, and have different aspirations, but we are bound together by the club we support, WH are a sleeping giant, it is estimated, that in the Uk alone we have 200, 000 fans, that is as many if not more than any other London club, so we will come again, maybe, not now, but fortune, will not always be hiding, keep cool, we will come again,

Corby and Joyful, your last 2 posts are by far the most sensible things anybody has said on here for a long time ….well said 👏👏👏👏

BRAVO you guys. Let's stop the panic mode

Antonio, is trying for the bench against Spurs 3rd May or Man U on 10th, it's all If, buts-and maybes, but if he can get back and show, he's back, and in some form, it's likely he will be offered a one year contract at 50 k a week dropping from his current ;85k, no one can expect him to be improved, on what he was prior to the accident, but he could be more than useful in a 45/60 minute capacity next season

Sentimentality doesn’t come cheap. He was finished long before the accident. Another contract is delaying the inevitable. He should be let go with thanks for his services in the past.

First some possible good news Kelleher via his agents looking favourably, on a WH move, and we will try to tie this up asap, IF we can but it's a big IF, as we are still far from window, and others may come in for him? then Delap, seems to be having second thoughts re Man U and Chelsea, neither will offer him, to be first choice starter etc, , that was always going to be the case, further only WH have offered that so far, so we are in with a whisper , not a shout , but you never know, On Jonathan David, his agents are punting everywhere, now, their with Milan and Monaco, Milan, have offered him a deal, to pay off his agents, and agreed a signing on fee, but won't pay him more than £85 k a week, so his chance to come to WH, have risen, but only, by default and because, most teams are shunning his demands, ON!Y my view, I would have Delap over David anytime, he's younger, faster, has aerial ability, and much more powerful, for me David is similar to Bowen, but never shoots from distance, he's a real 90% box player, everybody is entitled to a view, that's mine

16 Apr 2025 18:20:22
DELAP for me aswell. He's already had a season in the Premier league amd scored goals and above all he has PACE which is what scares defenders In the league

17 Apr 2025 12:07:57
Agree Joyful on both Delap and Kelleher, particularly as Liverpool seem to be interested in Kudus. The keeper could be part payment and the remainder spent on Delap

17 Apr 2025 15:29:27
That would be a sound piece of business merceri and start the window nicely

13 Apr 2025 09:13:53
WH can't make up minds, wether to get involved, with offer for Rayan Cherki, or not, they will wait and see, what other clubs are involved, might be too big a competition?

13 Apr 2025 13:56:21
Sounds about right lol

10 Apr 2025 15:25:29
Creeping out is information regarding Delap, his contract contains, clause that Ipswich, if relegated must return him to City for £30 m iIF they come in for him, other teams , seem to be under impression , that applies to all parties, not just City, NO say Ipswich, so the tractor boys keeping cards close to chest, at this time

11 Apr 2025 05:25:01
If that's the case then move on to another and don't waste time messing about

11 Apr 2025 08:54:49
What amazes me is that the window isn't even open yet and already we've been linked with numerous strikers. Jonathon burkhart, Tammy Abraham, Jonathon David, Samu, Liam Drlap, Evan Guessand (Man utd and Spurs are chasing this fella) . Now I hope we don't make the same mistakes we've done in the past as we did with John Duran etc

WH are in dire need of many positions, it’s the reverse situation, if they weren’t after players, then it would indeed be worrying, come 1st June, they need to be straight at it, but if they can tie up a couple of players beforehand, then their off and running, and same goes for those leaving

12 Apr 2025 07:57:32
Our problem is that every major transfer before TS came along turns into an epic which drags on for months only for some sudden hidden reason to crop up which kills the deal.

Apparently PSG are very interested in Kudus?

Morning All.
The club have a lot of work shifting players out the door. That is also a main priority this window to clear the decks.
We are very lucky to have 2/3 players that will come into the 1st team for next season already signed to us that have gained experience in PL.

The club need to generate more funds, WH are for some reason not attracting the investors that the club thought they could, more was promised after the Spinx arrived.
We are like a very diluted Orange Juice on and off the pitch.

Well put Ham-Egg-Chips

H, E&C ‘WH are for some reason not attracting the investors that the club thought they could”
How many reasons do you want I can think of about 10

Hello Hammer D. Yes I am being cynical.

We are the best fans in football.

Football comes in cycles, hopefully our next purple patch is around the corner

Apologies I didn’t pick up on it. I am a bit slow on the uptake at times 😄
