West Ham Rumours

24 Jan 2020 20:12:33
If I've read this right it appears forest have this Matt cash which half of Europe is looking at for £15m. What do we do but bid £12m which naturally was rejected hmmm let me think about this.

24 Jan 2020 22:09:24
Mac3, my son-in-law is a Forest fan, he reckons Cash is a bit special, I wouldn’t have a clue to be honest, he’s come through their Academy, so Forest are going to want the maximum as others are interested as well!, ⚒⚒⚒⚒.

25 Jan 2020 06:21:30
Why would Forest let him go for 12mil. whe Forest is looking at promotion to the Prem and everyone knows 12mil is way below what other clubs are willing to pay atleas 15mil+ I wonder why we can't atract players or clubs do not want to do business with WH am i missing something?

25 Jan 2020 11:25:25
Nope nut it's the west ham way to save a few quid.

23 Jan 2020 15:01:26
So according to rumour control we have been offered abdoulaye Toure and Frank kessie. Apparently we are very interested in both but mulling, pondering, considering as usual.

23 Jan 2020 16:45:42
The West Ham way, ponder over any deal
GSB are a waste of space
Taken our club, ruined our club
Hope they suffer in life the same way they
make real fans suffer
Yiu probably won’t post this, but it makes me
feel better by saying it.

23 Jan 2020 18:27:12
You and a lot of others out there feel the same my friend. The same old story and let's face it, if the fans can see over and over where we need to be strengthened and those in charge don't bring in the quality needed they deserve what they get. can't fully blame the board but it comes down to bad recruiting. Look around and top clubs have flying full backs with strong energetic midfielders and bags of pace all over. Then look at us speaks volumes. Noble should have been replaced years ago as should others but no.

23 Jan 2020 18:43:57
Mac3,the club is toxic!
What player with any ambition would want
to join us now!
Apart from those over the hill and want one
last big pay cheque
The board av acted too slow
Our midfield has been slow for years,
And now we have loaned out our best u23.

23 Jan 2020 20:00:30
Seems that Newcastle and arsenal closing in on frank kessie sp another one goes by the wayside, its woeful.

22 Jan 2020 13:07:42
Just read that Nzonzi has decided to join West Ham, the report comes from a Turkish newspaper so I don’t know how true it is?

22 Jan 2020 13:42:16
It seems that way and more kessie on loan rumours. Why don't we give Chelsea (who want a striker) haller and they give us pedro and giroud.

22 Jan 2020 13:48:58
Seems so and let's face it an upgrade on what we have (noble, Sanchez, wilshire who can't stay fit ) . Get kessie on free and maybe giroud on loan and we might stay up.

22 Jan 2020 16:23:25
Mac3, no idea what Kessie is about, bit wary about those with non Premiership experience as I’ve said before, especially previously when posters raved about a couple damp squibs thar we signed for stupid £millions, but certainly agree with Giroud and Pedro but why would Lampard want a player like Haller who loves a lay down when the going gets tough, wish he would though😂🤣Hope the Nzonzi rumour is true, had bags of Premiership experience with Stoke and another club, also has family in London, so must help to consolidate our squad if true, apparently played 194 games in Premiership so knows what it’s about? Be happy with a point tonight but a no lose should be a must, a win would be great but unless the Fixes have a s—-t. night, ain’t going to happen? ⚒⚒⚒⚒.

22 Jan 2020 16:28:04
Very happy with anything tonight buddy. Pedro and giroud fir haller, love the idea pmsl.

22 Jan 2020 22:03:11
I hope your joking about giroud and pedro for haller. Do you want us to turn into a retirement home? Silly. Haller needs service and support which he gets very little of because the majority of our players are too slow. KESSIE would add some much needed pace, power and work rate to our midfield, think Antonio not as quick but much more technical good passer, good dribbler serious engine and good defensively.

Its been apparent for some seasons now we have needed more dynamic players. I commend the work rate of snodgrass zabaleta noble but the simply can't get close enough and keep up with game a lot of the time. lanzini has come back he's been nowhere near his level seems to have lost a yard or 2 of pace aswell.

I fear nzonzi is passed it also but it's a cheap option for Sullivan. We keep finding ourselves lacking in differnt areas of the pitch and quite frankly we are desperate. It shouldn't be this way but under sulli it will never change.

22 Jan 2020 23:59:13
I remember Henry joining Arsenal and he was a damp squib till he adapted. I think Haller will be good with a bit of time and some decent service. If he was at a club with a straight beer midfield and a strike partner he would be brilliant.

23 Jan 2020 01:32:09
How does stronger turn into straight beer? Lol.

23 Jan 2020 01:47:01
Hiya Chelmsford hope your well and the family mate but KESSIE can't do no worse than NOBLE or SNODGRASS who IMO ain't good enough to play for us any more no bite or energy levels for a frantic 90 odd minutes of premiership football and if DM thinks FORNALS isn't better than those 2 than there's the reason we are now bang in trouble I mean who is FORNALS going to get a footing without a run in the team, in for 1 or 2 games then out for 2 it's not good enough and we just don't look fit enough to play for the full 90 odd minutes simple as that at least make yourself hard to beat and not just roll ovet like we seem to do . COYI.

23 Jan 2020 08:11:56
Hi Whorya, fine mate thank you, hope you and your family the same👍The enormous difficulties of running a club and opinions show up on posters remarks on here, the abuse taken by a manager, the board, is an utter disgrace imo? Does anybody actually think that most or all Premiership are not run as a business, what club wants to drop outside those streets that are paved with enormous rewards of £mmmm’s even just to stay in the Premiership! It is blatantly obvious what our failings are, we don’t need Savage telling us we have no pace, Antonio and Masuaku are possibly the only ones we have whether we like it or not! We have Rice who is a Premiership player, nobody else! We need try to accept we are mediocre at best, with entire lack of creativity and energy throughout the team that look as if we could now get what we deserve, relegated! DM has to work with what he has, unenviable task but when I see Burnley winning 0-2 at Man U and Palace did the same earlier, you don’t have to have so called superstars to entertain their supporters, just bloody hard work and battlers as a team that can stand the rigours and pace of the Premier league! ⚒⚒⚒⚒.

23 Jan 2020 13:32:15
All of this has been coming for some time. Great investment by the board but poor recruitment. The premier league is fast and relentless with a punishing schedule and as such appropriate players are needed. Noble is too old simple and too many others are too old. I would sell diop, raise funds and bring players in because it's ok keeping him but if we go down he will be sold anyway.

16 Jan 2020 05:29:27
Apparently Moyes wants Ross Barkley on loan?

16 Jan 2020 07:25:39
I’d welcome this - absolutely better than any of the midfield options we have outside of Noble and Rice.

Good on the ball, big, strong and not over the hill in terms of age.

I’d like to see this done with an option to buy at the end potentially as he’s definitely not getting the playing time at Chelsea.

16 Jan 2020 08:06:02
Totally agree with the Ross Barkley rumour, we should have gone for Cahill when he was available, playing well for Palace! Can’t believe we would get Barkley but that would be a great loan or buy to add plenty of experience, grit and steel to reinforce our midfield! I wonder if Moyes could have any influence with Barkley being ex Evertonian?

16 Jan 2020 11:36:09
There could be something in this as Barkley will want game time to try and impress Southgate for the Euros.

16 Jan 2020 11:36:31
I imagine it would be down to Barkley, himself. If he still has further England ambitions, he needs to play and at the moment he’s way down the pecking order at Chelski.

I’d be happy to see him with us: skilful strong and can play CM as well as AM.

16 Jan 2020 13:03:56
This would be a great deal, and a massive
Improvement to us in midfield, but I reckon this would be very hard to get over the line,
I’m sure they would be very reluctant to let him go, i'd still like to see us go after Sander Berge aswell.

16 Jan 2020 16:03:50
Berge would be my number one target this window. The lad has it all.

16 Jan 2020 16:24:28
We'll probably offer £20 million, £19 million of it being "addons" paid in 200 instalments over 20 years for Sander Berge.

Then David Sullivan will come out saying he moved heaven and earth to try and sign him, we'll then end up signing Nigel Reo Coker out of retirement to cover in midfield.

16 Jan 2020 19:52:59
Sander Berge, another non Premiership experienced player, not for me, we need a new recruit to hit the ground running imo, not 2 months to settle in when we are in a desperate position. what are posters looking at Videos of him? Sorry chaps an old boy posting that tends to be a belt and braces man! ⚒⚒⚒⚒.

17 Jan 2020 09:04:05
The year is 2035 - Sander Berge is now 35, West Ham sign him on a 3 year contract, 100k a week. The Sullivan effect.

18 Jan 2020 00:00:33
I really am flabbergasted that majority of pepole on this site speak so highly of NOBLE now I get the loyalty and WEST HAM through and through so am i let me throw a few things out there why do you think he's never left us I'll tell you why because nobody has ever shown any interest in him he's okay with the ball at his feet not great but fair, off the ball he's shocking especially now his legs are shot too bits i used to go with about 8 or 9 fans and not 1 of us rated him and I'll tell you why he's well liked because you younger hammers fans don't know no different I QUARENTEE we will be a better team when we get away from players like SNODGRASS NOBLE CRESSWELL CULLEN (PAST) KOUYATE (PAST) RANDOLPH SANCHEZ I understand we can't just throw cash about like CITY UNITED CHELSEA but come on we have 3 very wealthy owners but until we get another investor like TABOR or that level we ain't going to be challenging for European places but that's a silly statement SULLY came out with not me I also praised the owners for getting HALLER (HAS SO MUCH ABILITY IMO) and FORNALS ANDERSON (BEEN DISAPPOINTING ) I'd sell LANZINI (DOESN'T WANT TO BE HERE I KNOW HE SIGNED A NEW CONTRACT BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN NOWADAYS) and YARMOLENKO to create funds and free up wage bill. COYI.

19 Jan 2020 18:25:20
What's worrying is tha teams at the bottom around us are very capable of raising the game and getting a win and with only 13 days left in this window we need help at rb, midfield and a striker who can bully defences with pace and stay healthy. And tbh am not sure they fill me with confidence having just brought randolph back and to top it all, I'm sure in the next few games we have Leicester away, liverpool twice and man city god help us.

20 Jan 2020 17:33:29
Mac3, at least football’s not boring being a WH fan, at least we have something to discuss😂🤣 wouldn’t like to support Liverpool or Man C when you know you’re expected to win every game😂🤣Well better to look on the bright side of life, we get more pleasure out of winning than they do👍👍🤞🤞⚒⚒⚒COYI.

11 Jan 2020 23:21:31
Looks like fernandes has chosen spurs over us

I could see this happening a mile off!

Whose next we are going to miss out on.

12 Jan 2020 11:04:18
Every window we go through the same and are fed the same rubbish where we have supposed talks and more talks, then we consider, mull and ponder and then make insulting low bids trying to save money and the saga drags on and on only for another club to come along and offer what's asked and beat us to the signing. Look at dendoncker as an example.

12 Jan 2020 13:58:33
Totally agree Mac. Add Almiron and Maddison to Dendoncker. We just end up with injury ravaged players like Wiltshire and Yarmalenko.

12 Jan 2020 14:19:01
Agree, and now I read Yarmalenko could be going out on loan. we look thread bare as it is, how can this be right. UTTER SHAMBLES!

12 Jan 2020 15:24:09
Same old west ham. Full backs have been s position where we have needed quality replacements for some time and now we are desperate, the same as the most critical. position in the game, keeper. How can villa tie up s deal for pepe Reina (old but quality) and we scrap around the championship for a keeper who is injured and used to play for us ( and let's face it not the best of keepers) . Its just desperate. Wtf are our scouts doing. Pay me and I could find 5 keepers just on Google.

12 Jan 2020 16:59:37
Mac3, posted same critical review earlier about wtf are our scouts doing earlier but not on yet regarding Adama Traore? Do we actually have any?

12 Jan 2020 18:04:27
To be truthful I think the entire organisation needs a shake up starting at the top. As for scouts? Ate you telling me the best keeper option we could find was Randolph who is injured If we had moved maybe we could have got begovic or Reina! Its the same every window.

12 Jan 2020 22:56:22
The best player we missed out on fafing about probably trying penny pinch in footy terms is N'GOLO KANTE who we found and Leicester hijacked that deal. COYI.

12 Jan 2020 23:52:48
Sending Sillyvans son to negotiate is probably part of the problem - we will end up with some over the hill players for millions more than they are worth.

13 Jan 2020 07:21:31
Was never going to happen! . just the usual so called ITK´s saying it´s a done deal but being royally spoofed by his agent all to drum up business and Spurs took the bait!

nothing new, standard agent behaviour!

13 Jan 2020 12:43:34
Agreed Costa, unless its supported by genuine info and a picture in the shirt I dint believe any of the talk on any transfer :)

13 Jan 2020 18:37:17
Mac. Fernandez club accepted our offer and it is Gedson Fernandez who has chosen to join Tottenham. This has nothing to do with our club management.

I’m a West Ham fan but given the choice as a player who I would rather join . of take Tottenham and Mourinho as a manager any day if I wanted to develop my game. It’s sad but it’s a fact.

I’m going to be frank and say it again . without DGS we wouldn’t even have a club. Get behind the team instead of constantly complaining about what we get and what we don’t from a player perspective. Half of the rumours we read are “bollocks” anyway.

We have a team that should already be challenging after spending £150m over two seasons. Our owners are multi millionaires NOT billionaires.

They need to draw a line somewhere or watch us plummet into financial disaster like the Icelandic owners did. COYI!

13 Jan 2020 19:40:57
I agree 64, I suggest anyone who has the money then stump it up for the club!
Every club is a business and people will try and make money, that’s how the world works I’m afraid.
DGS have made some bad decisions but so has every other owners of clubs.
We are still in a better position than we were 10 years ago when we were not far off going bust so credit them with that.
I would look at the training regime, facilities etc as we seem to get a load more injuries than any other teams, that’s what has done us this year, we were cruising until we lost Antonio and fabianski, rushed back and now they are out again.
Get to the root of the problem before signing more players.

13 Jan 2020 19:44:23
True my friend.

13 Jan 2020 21:50:00
COYI, well said and all very true and valid imo👍⚒⚒⚒.

14 Jan 2020 17:15:21
Well said COYI64
Were I not a WHU fan and in Fernandes's position I would choose Tottenham. They are in Europe, and no threat of relegation. Yes he may get more game time with us, but he is still very young and will develop a lot as a rotation player in JM's team. Plus they offered a HUGE buyout amount, which he will benefit him as well no doubt. No blame on the board here IMO.
I have said who my preferred options are, but its Jan, we are in a relegation fight (which means any spend is a HUGE financial risk) and we have limited funds. We need to be realistic as fans. I'd take Joe Allen at the right price TBH, at least he has PL experience which is important in our situation.
Sander Berge would be great, but again, he is in Europe and WHU are in a relegation battle. He may get a better (less risky) offer in summer by staying where he is.

15 Jan 2020 20:38:02
Yes it is about money but you have to think short, medium and long term. I have been critical of Diop this season as I think he needs to work on his positional play and also using his strength more.

Now hopefully rumours aren’t true though and we would sell to get money for transfers. Yes seems like a good bit of business if you think short term, buy for 26 sell for 40, but the recent windows should have proved something to the owners surely.

If we had 400 million to spend we still won’t get who we want as we aren’t at the top table. We don’t play in Europe, we aren’t doing well in the league, and we don’t win cups. Therefore you need to gradually improve and that means if you find a player that will improve selling him should be the last option.

Yes we will balance books but we won’t attract anyone with the money except a Joe Allen or equivalent. Then in two years Diop will be worth 80 million and we will be scratching around for a CB worth 15 million and 32 years old as that is we can get and will still, if we are lucky, be a mediocre, fighting for mid table, premier league side, if we are lucky!

19 Jan 2020 00:26:21
We are a bit of a laughing stock anyway we've had an owner selling biscuits to then one selling blow up dolls corr we are an investors dream buy, whatever next jack sullys voice might break let's hope it goes for good mouthy little silver spooned letch, no I ain't jealou's before any of you pipe up😂 and I haven't been drinking honestly. COYI.

19 Jan 2020 00:34:27
I haven't had a butchers to see if there is any ARBELOAS OR EVRAS that need 80,000 a week for getting in their car in the morning for a few days a week, have a bit if banter with the boys (OH FORGOT TO SAY GET TAPED UP AND STUCK TOGETHER BY OUR MEDICAL TEAM) go along on a Saturday afternoon just for a but of fresh air nice work if you can get well you can send all CV''S to who it may concern (JACK SULLIVAN) Or just say you uset be a decent player years ago I'm sure you've come to the right club.
