West Ham Rumours

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

Hi Ed, I suppose this would be the page to ask. Chelsea fan myself, but I rate Haller quite highly.

Is any club interested in buying him from West Ham, and are West Ham even open to doing business (regarding Haller)? I'm curious to know.

Thanks, and keep healthy, all!

{Ed002's Note - There is no plan to sell Haller as far as I know.}

Thank you, Ed.

Jackson he might do well at Chelsea but he doesn't work hard enough for us - how about a swap fo Mason Mount lol.

08 Jul 2020 20:42:42
Mason mount isn't a 45million pound player if you would have said PULISIAC then i'd agree to swap but not for Mount.

10 Jul 2020 09:27:27
Onk you can give us Mount plus cash :)

10 Jul 2020 22:39:59
I think the Mount reference was to keep Rice where he is.

I reckon there will be a clear out when the season ends. I feel Moyes will sell Anderson and Haller to raise funds. He 'may' get his money back for Haller, but Anderson's value will take a hit.
What does everyone else think?

05 Jul 2020 18:42:25
I’d like us to give Hugill a try, he was bought by Moyes
Even if we get rid of Haller or not, just give him some
game time, even silva.
Defence is a mess tho, it’s standard we concede 2
every game it seems.

05 Jul 2020 20:15:32
Sanchez, wilshire, lanzini, haller, Anderson and ajeti should be sold/ released. Cresswell and fredericks worry me at full back so I'd replace them also. We might even have to. look at another goalie but lots to do in a short space of time. Anybody know when the window opens and closes?

05 Jul 2020 20:29:30
I forgot matsuaku.

05 Jul 2020 23:36:52
i don't think Haller is strong enough for the Premiership we need a good strong centre forward who has played in the Premiership or Championship someone who gives and takes a knock. Wiltshire i think we are stuck with as who is going to pay the wages he's on when he hasn't played for almost 2 years, perhaps he will come good but i can't see any club paying his wages. The rest i agree with although Cresswells stats were good tonight.
im happy with a draw today although a win would have been better.

06 Jul 2020 11:35:10
I disagree about Haller. Every game he has played he has won the majority of his headed duels. He is a forward who needs players around him to feed off his knock ons. He also has an excellent career goal-scoring record (just not for us YET. )

I would persevere with him.

As for Anderson, I have become increasingly disillusioned. At times “pretty, ” but almost invariably ineffective. He is simply too delicate for the physicality of the PL.

Really pleased with our last two results. Bearing in mind the games we’ve got left and the terrible current form of our relegation rivals, we bl**dy well should stay up!

06 Jul 2020 14:18:08
Markro, For £45m for Haller, if he can’t adapt to the style of the current manager or the Premiership, then get rid of him! Excuses imo cannot continually be made for a failure and a very expensive one at that! Maybe he did it in Germany, but that’s no good to us, he’s had long enough to adapt! Some will disagree but as arp3768 posted, give Hugill another try, if he can’t hack it, then at least we’ve tried? On all post on here I agree with every player mentioned that they should be got rid of if possible! We should have pursued some over here that can take a bruising, give some out and score goals! We could have tried for Mitrovic, Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes to name 3, maybe not possible but they are grafters and can score goals👍⚒.

06 Jul 2020 17:51:11
Chelms, each to his own. I don’t think that Moyse wants to move Haller on. I’m also confident that he will come good.

I would again pick the same starting 11 against Burnley, as they have done the business. I’d like to see Haller get a go at some point in the second half.

COYI.

06 Jul 2020 19:01:01
Markro, of course mate, we all have our own opinions, 👍 This is what makes these debating sites so interesting and good to contribute to, so hopefully none of us posters should not be able not to disagree with others or get aggressive to another fellow ⚒ fan, after all we are all ⚒ fans👍Some are more tolerant or opinionated (me😂) than others towards players depending on performances! I would not have tolerated what I considered a lazy player, I would consider effort and willingness to run and chase, warriors, more than skill or in choice of players! Examples, Billy Bonds, Julian Dicks, can go on and on but enough said, had a few 🍺🥃🤣⚒⚒⚒⚒.

06 Jul 2020 19:40:54
I’m with many of you. move Haller on whilst he has value. He has a great touch but too often he is late arriving in the box. Anderson needs to go as well. Hopefully, that would give Moyes £60-70m to spend. I’d keep the rest. You can’t make too many changes. Remember we’ve lost 24 points from winning positions. If we’d converted half in points we’d now have 43 points!

07 Jul 2020 06:29:19
For me give haller a chance, as was said earlier he’s not really had the service, so yeah for me don’t give up on him yet. Anderson I have backed and backed and backed, but I think it’s time to cash in, I thought Wilshire did well against Chelsea, that guy was one of the best midfielders around before his many injuries I think he has something left to give, I could be wrong I normally am. Lanzini, I love the guy but just isn’t working for him my heart says keep him my head says let go. Noble should be a sub now ready to hand the baton if rice stays. I am going to say it and many may not agree but fornals for me is not right for us he’s too soft misses so many chances, never seems to want to put a challenge in. Cresswell can ping a ball as good as anyone but god if he doesn't read a runner or iff he gives them two yards he’s lost the race, Fredericks looks like he’s not interested when I watch him play so them two I don’t know. But that’s where I am at the moment. If we, when we, if we stay up, there needs to be some sorting out.

07 Jul 2020 08:13:42
Whitby, just confused why you think let Lanzini go, which actually I agree with, but keep Wilshere! At least Lanzini can run, chase, and contributes I read the Wilshere stats that he has played something like 6 games out of 64 since since being signed! Any Wilshere admirer must still be living in the past 4 years or whatever! Any player can pass a ball, I can’t even remember him doing anything when he came on! But I am totally anti Wilshere I must admit, one massive financial mistake when MP signed him, it was blatantly obvious his injury problems to most except MP, I wonder if he’d invested in him if he had to contribute?

07 Jul 2020 18:05:49
Why would clear out Haller? He's in his first season, scored some decent goals in a team not setup to play to his strengths. His Whoscored ratings showed he has done good things too.

He's the only time we've properly invested in a striker with a very good record in his prime.

It's far too early to bin him - he needs to adapt for sure but HAS to be worth another season!

07 Jul 2020 22:10:02
I don’t know Chelms maybe I would just like him to be that player again, I really like lanzini but he hasn’t been the same player since his injury maybe Wilshire is the same, it’s just when I read an interview with Moyes saying that Wilshire is the fittest he’s seen him and he’s playing the best football he’s seen him play, granted it’s In training, your maybe right mate. I don’t really know bud I just want us to stay up then let Moyes makes his mark. He will probably keep everyone I said he rubbish get rid of lol. COYI let’s try and beat Burnley and push some more 👍🏻👍🏻⚒👍🏻👍🏻.

08 Jul 2020 20:51:54
We can't buy players and get rid after 1 season that's not how football works otherwise we wouldn't have seen HENRY and that terribke footballer chelsea got shot of too early let me think of his name as he wasnt that good . oh yes got it DE BRUYNE not a bad player chelsea released and oh i thought of another one LUKAKU you have to give them another season HALLER AND FIRNALS and if they don't come up trumps get rud as you ain't going to get the money we oaid fir them as they haven't shone YET.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea sold de Bruyne for a very good profit and for a very good reason.}

11 Jul 2020 02:24:01
What was the reason ED as I wasnt aware there was a problem only that he couldn't get a start with chelsea my point being ED if you are going to give a player 6 months to adapt in the premier league and you don't then we move him on and IMO it ain't the way I could mention many players that have needed time especially players from abroad could you elaborate on DE BRUYNES problem at chelsea please ED. COYI.

{Ed002's Note - He was young and he was struggling to adapt to life in the UK. That led to a loan to Werder Bremen where he was a lot more comfortable.}

i would like to ask WH fans a question is VAR improving the game for me the answer is NO its not.
We all argued with ref decisions but that was part of the game and at the end of the day good or bad decisions were debated at the pub over a pint. VAR is fast becoming a destroyer of the premiership. All other leagues in the uk don't use VAR its the human error people will accept not a machine that take 4 minutes to see if its a goal or not.
What do u think am i right or wrong?

04 Jul 2020 10:17:23
In itself VAR is completely objective - it simply gives you incontrovertible, visual facts. The problem is the scope for interpretation and the time it takes.

In its present form, I would bin it.

04 Jul 2020 14:09:47
Bideford/ Markro, When decisions become so microscopical, offside by a toe or an elbow, absolutely destroying the game, ours was an outrage, Spurs disallowed goal was a disgrace as well, man shoved from behind, no foul, then falling and touching the ball and calling it handball, beyond ridiculous👎Get rid all together, a lot thought a good idea to rectify poor decisions but now become a complete game spoiler that’s happening far to often👎Get rid of it imo👎👎Hope we can get something from the game tomorrow👍👍⚒⚒⚒.

04 Jul 2020 22:48:38
I said before the season began it will be awful. That was based on the fact I had seen two seasons of it in Australia and it hasn’t really improved things a great deal as while it helps with some decisions the humans looking at it still get things wrong. I must say the time taken in England is far longer than here and that is making it worse. In Australian footy (AFL) they use video ref only for score reviews and that still gets some wrong but it’s quick and unless there is obvious error they go with the on ground call. The minor handballs where it isn’t a deliberate control, the three minutes to decide if Antonio was offside, they are human issues not the technology. They shouldn’t scrap it, they need to review the implementation and the rules on how it’s used.

05 Jul 2020 09:23:43
sdl hope all is well in Oz. Totally agree with you the technology does not get it wrong the human interpretation does.

I would much prefer the on field Ref looks at a monitor having been alerted by Stockley Park. Instead of having a Ref looking at the screens let's have ex players doing that job.

05 Jul 2020 17:48:20
NO look how it works in rugby very rarely any issues I think there should to the monitor and some on a situation he may missed.

01 Jul 2020 09:55:28
Arsenal win
Newcastle win
A draw for us.
That’ll do me.

01 Jul 2020 17:53:14
And me👍👍⚒⚒.

01 Jul 2020 19:57:20
2 out of 3 so far, Chelms.

01 Jul 2020 20:36:48
👍👍can we hang on though Mark? 😲🤭⚒⚒.

01 Jul 2020 22:41:28
We couldn’t have done better than that👍⚒Antonio does it again, goal, assist, run his socks off, great goal from Yarmelenko, should have started the game, but not unhappy for him to come on and finish it for us👍Great all round performance⚒⚒⚒.

02 Jul 2020 04:29:53
Well that was surprising. Wasn’t going to get up early morning here but dragged myself out of bed and when we went 1 down thought here we go. Even at 1-1 at half time I thought we were not going to hang on. Then when they got their second I thought oh no Liverpool all over again. Then that goal by Yarmalenko and I think I woke the neighbourhood up. We need that second half fight though every week, not just when we play a Chelsea or Liverpool. We need to take the points when we have easier games from now or we will still get overhauled.

27 Jun 2020 12:06:41
Will we ever here or read the last of Liverpool being the Premier league winners, I have to say anybody apart from them or ManU and I would be delighted! There are a few teams that get rammed down your throat week in week out, obviously because they are successful clubs, but to me I have long refused to watch any form of TV coverage involving these two teams unless we are playing them, they have monopolised TV coverage far to long for me! I just hope Norwich stick it up ManU today, l hope the underdog can bathe in some glory for a change, come on you Canaries👍👍⚒⚒⚒Rant over, apologies🤣.
