West Ham Rumours

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

Apparently we have expressed our interest to Man Utd for goalkeeper Dean Henderson?

22 Feb 2021 21:39:08
Good keeper and he wants gam time. Pope would be another of interest to us.

23 Feb 2021 10:29:26
For me it's Pope all day long. However Henderson is also a very good keeper. BOTH would be very hard to get i think, and neither will come cheap at all.

23 Feb 2021 14:21:07
These goalkeepers are all very top class I admit but we have fabianski playing out of his skin and these others will want to be number 1 so what do you do?

24 Feb 2021 05:03:03
id go with pope over henderson would have more of a chance prising him away from burnley on a much lower price that man u would demand for there GK.

24 Feb 2021 18:02:15
Rumour is that Man it'd will let up to 4 keepers go and the want Pope

Ed you heard anything on this?

{Ed077's Note - you mean Man United? Romero is out of contract and leaving in the summer for free I believe, Lee Grant is going to retire and move into a coaching role and Joel Pereira is probably going to be let go as well. So Man Utd don't want to lose either of De Gea or Henderson but Dean might become more restless and things might change. And Pope will not be the first choice GK at Man Utd and he most likely wouldn't move there to be 2nd choice I would think.}

Thanks ed always great to get you guys perspective rather than MSM rumours.

{Ed077's Note - well I don't have any insight info so my "perspective" is mostly my opinion. But then the MSM are mostly full of cr@p and seem to throw random names around linking them with any club they please without any info or corroboration.}

Pope would be like a Phil Parkes signing. It’d make everyone see we are serious.

Good victory tonight against a dogged Sheffield Utd side. 18 months back we'd have drawn or lost.

Ed just a quick question, is there an obligation or even a chance to purchase Lingard come the end of the loan do you know? Hand on heart if it was me in his shoes at any club after being left in the cold, if I have a good six months with the club I would be telling my agent to ring Woodward and say empty my locker, Man U is not everything. But that's just me, I would love to think he had a good six months and does just that and wants to stay. That being said the whole team played well, great tactics on grealish who to me is a great player but one of the biggest cheats in our leauge, he is going down 90% of the time before the contact comes. Where I live up north u come across a player on a saturday or Sunday, he's going to get smashed for being that way out.
Sorry ED was supposed to be a quick question.
I digress 🤣🤣🤣
Great win COYI ⚒⚒⚒.

{Ed002's Note - There is no obligation or option, but he only has a year to run and I expect they will be open to offers.}

The issue is Lingard is Man Utd through and through and been there since he could walk just about, if he felt he was going to get opportunities he would still be there, he will also no doubt like the idea of playing Champions League. Let's see how he goes between now and May, one swallow is not a summer, but hopefully he continues in the same vane.

05 Feb 2021 15:02:16
He is a professional footballer not a supporter with a couple of years left to make as much money as he can - so he will come if we pay enough and he plays (which gives him a better chance with England) .

Not much point in being at a CL club if you aren't in the team.

Anyway - we might be in the Champions League next season!

06 Feb 2021 20:19:21
Well let’s hope we are CL but I doubt that.

It’s not about being a fan it’s about him wanting to play at Manchester United. As much as we would like to think differently, playing at a club like Man U, Liverpool, Man City, is appealing as it isn’t about making lots of money, he has that and knows wherever he plays he will get a reasonable salary. It will be about opportunity to play (which yes we give him) and being involved in big matches. My comment was saying if he sees opportunity at Man U it would be hard to move him, if he doesn’t see opportunity or they don’t offer him a new contract, then it will be that much easier.

But as said elsewhere, one swallow doesn’t make a summer, and everyone knows he has ability it is his commitment and drive week in week out that have been questioned. Today no-one was much good so he wasn’t alone but we saw what he can do in one game, let’s see him do it in 10-15 games.

01 Feb 2021 14:13:09
Apparently a top six club (as it stands at the moment) have made an offer for Diego Costa, could that team be West Ham?

01 Feb 2021 16:32:02
Also saw that he rejected a top six side too.

01 Feb 2021 16:39:37
Moyes should be going all out for him, don’t really like him but he is a goal scorer and gets in oppositions faces, he would definitely bring something even short term.
Antonio has been great but if he had put that chance away early second half it’s a different game, Costa would of buried that!

01 Feb 2021 16:58:06
Just another thing, Wasn’t Moyes disappointed we didn’t sign king in the summer, well he’s still available so why hasn’t he gone for him now?

01 Feb 2021 17:15:16
king looks to be going southampton.

01 Feb 2021 19:29:25
I don’t care how late it is in the transfer window, I’m not interested in King not Costa. Let’s not be too harsh on Antonio. After all, without him at the end of last season, we would have been playing in the championship right?
I agree with Moyes’ stance, rather wait for the right player than just bring in a striker for the sake of appeasing fans.
The performance last night was a poor performance from all of the players. I’d dig out Benrahma and Soucek before Antonio. In fact, even Rice had a mare last night as did Bowen. Antonio was feeding on scrap. Passes over the top were too long and most passes made to him were made out of pure panic which is why they went awry.

01 Feb 2021 21:17:00
We don't want king or Costa but if rumours are true about idressa gueye it won't be a bad rumour as if rice or soucek god forbidden did get a nasty injury we would be in trouble not regarding our premier league status but team being weakened badly.

29 Jan 2021 12:43:24
Just seen there's a rumour about Billy Gilmore. Any news on this ed?

{Ed002's Note - No Dave. west Ham have made space for Lingard by signing Benrahma - there is no space for Gilmore on loan.}

29 Jan 2021 14:04:30
Unless they sign Dawson?

{Ed002's Note - Right.}

29 Jan 2021 14:19:14
Shame but thanks ed.

29 Jan 2021 20:15:19
Billy Gilmour would be a great replacement for Noble and could be very good cover for soucek and rice.

Don't think we would get an option to buy but a loan might pave the way for a future permanent transfer. He will get a lot more game time with us when we are in Europe next season.

29 Jan 2021 21:55:12
He’s the sort of player Tuchel might sell in the summer.

01 Feb 2021 21:26:04
I see man city have signed the Rochdale potential superstar.
