West Ham Rumours

06 Aug 2022 00:00:33
Linked with Sangare again. We were linked with him a few years back while he was at Toulouse. His stats are really solid arguably better than Onana's just not as good physically.

Really surprised a prem club still hasn't picked him, get it done!

{Ed002's Note - A number of PL clubs have a declared interest. I would not hold your breath.}

06 Aug 2022 02:07:21
Stranger things have happened, maybe Cornet can have a word.

06 Aug 2022 02:59:22
Yes interesting one, Man United we’re linked but seem to be sitting on their hands so who knows

06 Aug 2022 14:02:31
Whos in the driving seat re Sangare, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what that means. I have explained that there is plenty of interest in him.}

07 Aug 2022 11:20:47
Sangare just signed a new deal with PSV until 2027. So we can forget that.

We haven't really been linked to many holding/dm spent the whole time focused on Onana. Jerdy Schouten was a name mentioned a few times at the start of the window.

07 Aug 2022 13:05:28
Ruben Loftus-Cheek loan with an option wouldn't be a bad idea imo.

Genuine CM who can also comfortably cover the DM and AM positions. He looks like he's going to be warming Chelseas' bench this season so might be worth a punt. Only problem we have is the 5 subs rule - Chelsea may well want to keep him for just that reason.

07 Aug 2022 14:49:36
It’s good that the sub rules have changed. It would be even better if your entire registered squad was available instead of a limited match day squad.

07 Aug 2022 16:31:02
Not a fan of the new sub rule, it just helps the richer clubs again as they have a full squad of internationals while the lesser clubs bring on real squad players.

{Ed014's Note - unless of course you’re Manchester United then you just have a squad of over priced prima donnas and sub standard shite.

07 Aug 2022 17:32:44
You do have a point Ed014 🤣

{Ed014's Note - a very good one I thought! 😂

04 Aug 2022 10:35:06
Interesting latest rumour re: Onana is that his sister is one of three owners of the management company that owns him and she is pushing for 135k per week deal that West Ham are not willing to pay. One of the other owners brokered the Fee deal and is upset by this - Everton supposedly sniffing around but don't have agreement - well that is one report

{Ed002's Note - He is not owned by a "management company".}

04 Aug 2022 12:58:41
Wrong choice of words Belgium based Be The Future Management are his agent as I read

{Ed002's Note - Right, they are simply an agency.}

05 Aug 2022 10:55:31
So, ONANA to Everton, Interesting especially when they are already very light up front with Calvert Lewin Injury and having sold Richarlison? Bonus for us because we can use the money we were going to spend on him elsewhere. We are being linked with Marcos Senesi - Left footed CB from Feyenoord and now Moyes is eyeing up Bereton Diaz which would be very impressive haul for this window. Vlasic may well be on his way to Torino but other Italian clubs are also very interested in him. We are also looking at Benfica LB Grimaldi

05 Aug 2022 14:02:42
Wow if we could get cornet and grimaldo for our left hand side that would be nice business. Sell Diop and get szalai

03 Aug 2022 00:50:10
Sounds like Lille may have accepted a new bid for Onana and now we are discussing personal terms. From what is written though may be a tough negotiation that may fall over, but would be a great addition. Kostic sounding less likely as it appears he isn't really thinking West Ham would be his best move. Agian would be great if they could get it over the line but will be tough to close out.

03 Aug 2022 07:35:45
It seems Kostic may be using us to see what better offers come along from Italy so attentions have turned to Cornet and talks progressing well. Mixed news ref ONANA. As you advised Dude, there seems to be issues over the personal terms although Fee now agreed with Lille. Other reports suggest fee not agreed with Lille still? COnfusion reigns LOL Would be a great bit of business if we get both. Not sure then what happens with Benni and Vlasic and we still need a LB and maybe another striker and AM?

03 Aug 2022 08:54:23
looks good for us getting Onana and Cornet but i'm not sure getting Kostic is a good move at 29 he will have little resale value if he falls short of expectations

03 Aug 2022 21:11:02
let’s poach Fofana and Dana now Leicester are imploding 🤣🤣

03 Aug 2022 22:36:49
Shows how all over the place reporters and insiders are. Yes they do enough to get names right but then guess at the facts. One report has Onana coming for a medical, another has negotiations a long way apart. Zielinski We have given up as he doesn’t want to leave Napoli, we offered 55k but he wants 100k, Napoli don’t want to sell as they have lost other players, Napoli ringing him to convince him to go to West Ham as they want to re-invest the money. Talk about blind men throwing darts at a board.

04 Aug 2022 02:15:44
And now it sounds like Onana to Everton is more likely - we need to get deals done and stop messing about on personal terms.

04 Aug 2022 06:32:11
Yep it seems Everton went straight in at asking price with 5m in add ons. Moyes now apparently undecided on onana after all this chasing lol. Wants an AM. Daichi kamada has to be at the top of that list or will moyes be undecided about him aswell

04 Aug 2022 06:56:38
If MOYES is now undecided about ONANA then why waste all this time with all these bids? Don't make any sense. Agreed about Kamada and just imagine the revenue in shirt sales but at what cost? This is not a moan just an observation but why do our transfer dealings always take forever and are always epics (Downes being the exception). Talks go on apparently for weeks and then another club shows interest at the 11th hour and we miss out? If players haggle and are undecided (KOSTIC) then forget them and move on

04 Aug 2022 08:00:07
The rumours about Moyes make no sense, nor does the fact Wverton would go after Onana with their financial woes and the need to fill a few holes. Not sure what to believe half the time.

04 Aug 2022 08:29:11
Not seen anything suggesting Moyes is unsure on Onana where was that reported? Doesn't make sense that we would finally get a bid accepted for what appears to be our main DM target then suddenly change our mind, unless the wages he requested are extremely high which Everton have matched can't see any other reason why he would want to join them.

Everton didn't meet the asking price they matched our accepted bid. In hindsight we should have tried to push through this deal early before they had sold richarlison.

04 Aug 2022 09:27:07
So, apparently first bid for Cornet rejected (Naturally as is the west ham way). So now we mess about for the next 2 weeks for somebody to say "Didn;t fit well with our scheme anyway"? I hope to god they play to SCAMACCA's strengths and not balls down the flanks as per antonio

04 Aug 2022 11:45:41
The board can dress it up and justify it anyway they want,
they've spent a month chasing a player with 4 bids only to walk away when it came to the business end. Unbelievable

04 Aug 2022 16:36:52
Not seen anything to suggest we are walking away, c&h reporting we are still hopefull. The whole Everton thing could easily be a ploy to get more money.

Can't really see why he would go there even for more money, they were lucky not to be relegated last season and they haven't really strengthened. Big question marks over Lampard as a manger also.

04 Aug 2022 17:13:39
Scratch that they are now reporting that we have now pulled out of the deal due to wage demands.


Looks like a real talent however I don't think we should be held ransom. Can see Everton paying silly money though.

04 Aug 2022 22:35:24
I've got to comment on our transfer business as I was driving back from a meeting talk sport were saying west ham have virtually signed onua i and reason being is it could have interest in rice leaving west ham what a load of flannel I'm sick to the back teeth of trying to guess what sully is thinking we agree terms with a player then its one of four clubs come sniffing Leicester,Newcastle,Everton or villa seem to use us to do the hard scout then take no way as long as us to get the deal done, totally pissed off with west ham but will still support them till my days are numbered so the stress comes with being a hammer.

05 Aug 2022 06:30:48
Yep its frustrating dude

26 Jul 2022 22:39:51
WHU website announced Scamacca has signed pictured in a shirt as well.

27 Jul 2022 00:08:32
That great news i never seen him play but from what I've read he can hold up play links up with players and knows were the net is
Looking forward to seeing him run out on the pitch
May need a bit of time to settle but seems like just the sort of player we needed

27 Jul 2022 06:03:15
Not only does he score goals but he is a very skilful player, and he is a penalty taker which we’re going to need now Nobles gone.

23 Jul 2022 22:59:44
So according to Romano (if so called insiders are to be believed) paperwork now being drawn up for Scamacca with everything agreed, we shall see Monday or Tuesday no doubt. Kostic bid in - would be great if that actually happened though think they would be reluctant to sell but think I read his contract only has 1 year left?

24 Jul 2022 10:17:02
the sassuolo ceo confirmed it this morning

24 Jul 2022 16:43:35
Scamacca, onana and kostic would be a great window

24 Jul 2022 21:49:21
That would raise the spirits again.

25 Jul 2022 13:53:57
With who we've already brought in that would be a brillant business and even a loan deal with or without opition on a lb i don't think we could ask for any more

25 Jul 2022 21:06:51
Given injury status another centre back of Diop goes would be handy
