IF IF IF, WH can stay up, expect at least a few signings, that may be stating the obvious, but players are being earmarked, No question
Expect a three cornered fight, between Fulham, Villa, and WH for CHUCKUEZE, currently on loan at Fulham from AC Milan
Unbelievably it is Sullivan, who has agreed with Nuno, on this
Not of any value, obviously at present time, but, there seems to be a growing attitude, at WH, that this is not going to happen again, if we are fortunate.enough To get out of relegation, trouble
Although personally I'll believe it, when I see it I'm relaying what I'm hearing, it's nice to hear

WH have he'd a conversation with RÜDIGER former Chelsea now Real Madrid Cb
He's a free agent, this summer although 32, still has plenty in the tank, wants to comeback to London
If we avoid the drop?, I wouldn't be shocked to see him turn up at WH, as he has personally ruled out ruled out Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs
Thought for another time maybe?

If Real Madrid cancelled his contract could he not come now?

Good call, but cannot see that unfortunately, he’s exactly what’s needed

Real Madrid haven't actually cancelled his contract, but his contract expires at the end of this season. They would need to cancel his contract before he could join another club.
West Ham have a squad of 23 registered with the Premier League, and the maximum squad size is 25, so there are two squad spaces available. HOWEVER, we have a full quota of 16 foreign players, so could only sign and register homegrown players between now and the end of the season.
Despite having a number of injuries (torn meniscus, thigh and knee problems) over the last couple years, IF he were to be released by Real Madrid, Rudiger would be a solid signing until the end of the season for any club in the Premier League with a free foreign player registration spot in their squad. Sadly, that isn't West Ham.

I'm hearing that there could be a few missing for tonight's game with injuries, maybe Summerville, does anyone know anything, and who would you start in goal?

10 Feb 2026 12:41:28
I’m only going by other stuff I’ve read online but I don’t think it is Summerville. One could be Pablo as he was limping at the end of the game on Saturday
Agree0
10 Feb 2026 12:43:07
If players are missing it’s all on Sullivan for not investing in new players and unnecessarily getting rid of others
Agree0
10 Feb 2026 15:25:18
Was bound to happen. Just as we start to play decent football, our desperately thin squad gets a few injured and that's all she wrote
Yeah we know who's fault it is, but that's not going to change anytime soon. Just got to get on with it and do the best we can with what we have
Agree1
10 Feb 2026 18:13:34
Injuries are no one’s fault… they happen. It gives a chance to those on the bench to prove themselves.
Agree0
10 Feb 2026 20:32:52
Injuries aren't anyone's fault having a small squad devoid of indepth prem talent is however someone's fault
Agree1
10 Feb 2026 22:28:21
There is a school of thought that training load, nutrition and other fitness factors can influence the rate and incidence of injuries. Certain coaches have in the past been questioned on their training approach due to the high number of injuries in a squad over the course of a season, look at Spuds now as an example.
That's not to say Sullivan shouldn't have backed Nuno better, even the 3 blind mice could see that.
07 Feb 2026 08:28:56
Reports coming out that we never bid any money for Harwood-Bellis. We did make a proposal, which was a loan agreement with an obligation to buy if West Ham stayed in the Premier League, but no money was ever offered.
So instead of buying a young, match fit defender, that we desperately need, that could have gone straight into the starting 11 and been a feature for years to come, we went for disasi, who isn't fit, will take at least 6 games before he starts and who will probably leave at seasons end? Where is the sense in that business decision?

THATS NOT TRUE, sorry mate, everybody can believe whatever they want, it matters not to me
WH. Bid was a shade below £13 m plus small amount of addons
That was refused, WH, were told if they come back at £15/16 m plus £2 m of very doable add ons, it would likely be accepted
Providing it was a minimum of £5 m down, plus 2 payments, end of first season, end of second season, to complete purchase
WH decided not to purchase, that where it ended
There may have been an offer to loan with option or obligation PRIOR to the first bid, there’s no record of that but that would have been instantly knocked back anyway
I’ve checked this with an associate of mine, who lives in Christchurch and who follows Bournemouth and Southampton, he has connections, with both clubs
He was the one who first alerted me, about Junior Kroupi, and WH chase for that player, , that’s how it was Mac, your being misled mate
Agree0
07 Feb 2026 14:03:14
Cheers for the clarification Joyful. Even at that price, we missed out and it was clearly a sign of our ambition
See Hermandsen starts with Callum wilson up front as opposed to pablo?
Disasi starts over kilman which speaks volumes
Agree0
07 Feb 2026 14:33:38
Hermansen, Hmmm? Perhaps Areola carrying a knock, don’t get this one
Pablo gives his all, but he’s not astriker in my view
Disasi a not quite fit player in front of Kilman tells you everything you need-to know
Agree0
07 Feb 2026 15:43:02
Harewood bellis is a pretty mediocre player to be honest 18 + million for a squad player is a lot, I personally don't think they were ever going to spend anything was the same as the summer and will be the same next year and the year after until sullivan has gone
06 Feb 2026 16:35:13
Well West Ham have done it again. The loan deal for Gideon Kodua ( captain of our F.A youth cup winning team ) has been made permanent for £1m to Luton Town. He has scored 10 goals this season. In my opinion he has all of the potential to be a very successful player for the next 10 years.
He should be back at West Ham for pre season and give him a chance to shine. But now as always in my opinion we have made a grave mistake.

06 Feb 2026 17:49:26
Can’t argue with that comment, he would be especially valuable if we drop, for that money totally uneccessary

06 Feb 2026 21:31:48
Yep another good youngster gone. Guilherme doing great at sporting! Who is sanctioning these stupid deals, is it Sully or Nuno? I know who my money is on…….
05 Feb 2026 15:34:54
WH are putting together two lists, one is for new faces. Should we stay up
Another is for new faces, if we drop
I'm not privy to these lists, but three of the names on, the stayup" list, are the player just spoken about from Le Havre, Goretzka, from. Bayern. Who will be a free agent, and Matheus Martinelli, Dfm Fluminese

06 Feb 2026 09:18:24
Honestly i don't understand how we could be 'making a list' for the summer but then every window we leave it till last minute. Surely if you make a lost this early you then start the window quickly
Agree1
06 Feb 2026 11:01:16
Its the west ham way. Make a list of 10 players in each position and keep bidding low, then when list runs out turn to free agents or cheap options at the last minute
Agree1
06 Feb 2026 11:19:40
In my opinion only, hoping for the best, start preparing for the worst, in that event, there will be somany players leaving
Forward thinking might help a little, but different level and type of players required, for championship

06 Feb 2026 14:42:36
Nahhhh its not over with by any stretch of the imagination. Forest win tonight, Leeds form has dropped off, we beat Burnley and Leeds and its all to play for

04 Feb 2026 19:35:49
NOT a story WH 3 days before-the windows end were a medical away from signing Sangante young Cb from Lehavre
Sullivan changed his mind and pushed for more experience, so. Disasi
Terms et Al, had all been agreed, WH did well to keep this one quiet, however, it's history now, Maybe they will return for him next window?
Believable0
05 Feb 2026 07:22:11
That’s very interesting Joyful, as this was reported on C&H that this signing was about to happen but Nuno vetoed against it. I immediately smelt a rat and suggested it may well be the Sullivans mouthpieces putting this story out to throw others under the bus because the transfer window was a corporate example of suicide.
The article did the trick for the board as it unleashed a flurry of comments accusing the manager of trying to sabotage the club. The word unprofessional is often overused but it is far too soft in relation to West Ham 😡
Agree0
05 Feb 2026 08:48:15
Other way round mate Mr Sullivan stopped it, but whilst it’s unknown what terms had been previously agreed common sense tells you it’s a fee plus a contract, which will be a hell of a lot more than Disasi overall, I feel no one else was brought in, not only to save Money
But not to have any more players there just for a short term, in case we drop, and he’s just another player added to a fire sale, within a few months of arrival, ….Disasi would just. Return to Chelsea, end of story , this to me, must be the reason, because, the Frenchman, is the type of player we need
Agree0
05 Feb 2026 10:55:40
Short sighted doesn’t cover it.
Regardless of the not to positive predictions regarding Disasi, let’s hope he does a Dawson and turns out to be good and gives Chelsea the one fingered salute

05 Feb 2026 13:32:31
It's unbelievable how often these lies are served up, the vast majority still believe them, case and point paquetta and kudos
Isidor of Sunderland, Neketiah of Palace neither of these players were bid for by WH
TRUE, going back to last August, on Calvert Lewin., WH had first refusal, yes posted it on here
Many on here were against his coming to WH, the player was very keen
He's proved to be worthwhile, he's earning same as. Castellanos, it's all a matter of judgement

Story after story now coming out about defenders and midfielders "WE TRIED" to bring in? Yeah ok, here comes to cover up stories being released by Sullivan and his press Corps to appease the fans.
They had all window to get deals done but its never going to happen if he bids £12m for a player valued at £25m!
Tell us another one. Sooner he sells up the better
Agree1
04 Feb 2026 23:43:40
Calvert Lewin was like Wilson i don't think any doubted his ability it was his injury record that most of us doubted to be honest
