Lukus Paqueta to leave WH for M/City. What about taking Jack Grealish as part of the deal.
What do u lads think?
1.) 20 May 2024 15:37:54
Nahhhhhh he is always on the floor. Spurs have released Ryan Sessegnon so he is available on a free which for me is a no brainer and surely even as a squad member would be worth a punt
2.) 20 May 2024 19:42:52
Cresswell offered 12 month extension I don't believe it? .
3.) 20 May 2024 21:24:28
Does that include his nurse?
4.) 20 May 2024 21:31:29
Why oh why are they wanting to keep him on he’s done. They will extend zoumas contract next
5.) 20 May 2024 21:31:56
I’d take grealish but can’t see that happening.
6.) 21 May 2024 07:50:48
That just about sums up this clubs ambition by offering CRESSWELL a further 12 months. I think we can see already this could be a calamity
7.) 22 May 2024 03:43:21
If cresswell is used on very rare occasions.im ok with it . Like the early rounds of the cups . Beyond that it's asking for trouble.
07 May 2024 23:33:09
anyone knows who else will leave West Ham with DM?
1.) 08 May 2024 06:20:05
From the rumours theer seems to be a new name every day. If they want to leave, let them leave, as long as we get a decent price for those we can sell. The rest can go. No loyalty in football anymore
2.) 08 May 2024 08:49:55
Devon, all new Managers being their own entourage of yes men with them, hopefully those with strong connections to our club e.g. ex players will stay?
I have never seen much communication between Kevin Nolan and DM so I hope K.N. Stays?
I still hope DM gets a rousing reception come the final whistle on Saturday, I want him gone but that can’t detract from the job he’s done! He’s a very professional man that has conducted himself very well, but time for a new manager!
Like to see Paqueta go, a bloody liability and dirty player at times, also the very obvious so-called forwards that have been a complete waste that were DM signings if we can offload them?
⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒

Lets put Lingard to bed its plain to see he is looking for the offer do we need a 30 year player like that that puts money before club i think not.
Lets see who we get but for me not Lingard
1.) 13 Jun 2022 19:37:55
Totally agree John, if he wanted to come it would be done, he wants a pay day at Newcastle so let him have it. It’s a no from me
2.) 14 Jun 2022 07:52:19
If you only want players who will put the club before money our first team will be a small squad lol, noble was the last of the loyal one club man types, facts are that players are controlled by agents who will always look for the best financial deal it's the way of the world we haven't won anything for 40 years so it's not like we can offer the chance to win things either, just a go at playing in 3rd tier European football which is hardly that attractive
3.) 14 Jun 2022 11:12:20
Bissouma to SPURS £25m
4.) 14 Jun 2022 12:20:22
Robbo, bang on mate? Loyalty as rare as Hens teeth unfortunately!⚒⚒⚒
5.) 14 Jun 2022 15:20:58
i do agree with what your saying but to bring in a 30 year old millionaire who is looking to blow our wage structure is not on, ask yourself is he worth more in wages than most of our squard i think not.
6.) 15 Jun 2022 22:52:26
if he really wanted to come to whu he would be here money is tight for most clubs at the moment wages etc if you pay some1 a large wage others players will want parity
31 Jan 2022 22:28:34
Well it looks like no player in. Moyes and the team certainly seems to have tried but its always difficult to prise players away unless you a mega rich like Newcastle and put Salary ahead of ambition. Muyes has always said he would only go for player who he believes will strengthen the team. Man U are scared to let Lingard go for obvious reasons.
We will continue to support our team but also the chance of Champions league rests in WH winning the Europa cup. We must continue to support Moyes and his backroom staff
1.) 01 Feb 2022 00:06:11
Agree, but the lack of ambition…
2.) 01 Feb 2022 09:43:16
Moyes' greatest ambition was for ANOTHER defensive midfielder - the boy from Leeds.Only point would be is Soucek then pushed up to no 8 or 10 role as second striker / AM. Now we will never know.
3.) 01 Feb 2022 13:29:25
Devon John, I don’t get involved with we should get this one or that one, we should all be knowledgeable enough to know it’s not as easy as that, or should be knowledgeable enough, it’s like writing to ?? Santa Claus!
All I will say is that no matter how much we support DM and all the staff, it doesn’t help with players injured to replace them with PL quality players when we don’t have them?
⚒⚒⚒⚒

Yarmo will be needed soon the way it's going.sorry, nice man, great country (Ukraine) but he cannot cut it for West Ham.

I must give credit where its due the side today played well a much improvement on what we have been seeing recently.
What do you lads think?
1.) 17 Dec 2024 08:12:30
Better but still way off the mark defensively, Mavropanos is not a first choice centre back me, he’s pretty brutal to watch, he’s like some of the people I play against in Sunday league, if he plays the ball back to keeper at least half the time he doesn’t look around him, he can’t take anything off the ball, it’s like no matter where he his he’s kicking a cannon ball. I personally think filkrug needs much more game time the blokes a unit, he needs balls put in the box though. I didn’t understand why he played paqueta and kudus on the wrong wings, the manager still baffles me, one thing he did was play the young lads, however it was the wrong time for me, we went in to sit back mode at the wrong time, Bournemouth were well up for it at this point, and if we had lost them lads would probably struggle to get a game again. So yeah better but still not good enough, I still think poppy needs to go.
2.) 17 Dec 2024 10:10:37
Was in two minds about yesterday's game felt we lacked cohesion Bowen plays better on the wing Kudos fails to pass the ball when he should and Pac Man still giving it away too much. Fab was outstanding and to be honest we could have been on the end of a tonking last Night good to see the 2 youngsters come on
3.) 17 Dec 2024 13:17:22
Thought we a were a bit better, especially in the first half but allowing Bournemouth 29 shots smacks that something's still not right in the midfield and defensive areas.
4.) 17 Dec 2024 14:15:55
If LOP is safe I hope they get rid of trouble makers in January and then he brings Guilherme in and gives him a run in the team.
14 Dec 2024 20:57:37
Lets face it the football WH are playing is crap for entertainment value and that is the reason season ticket holders are selling their seats every week.
We won last week but total crap the manager must take the blame as we have some very decent players but WH are in the entertainment business and let's be frank what we are seeing is total rubbish
1.) 15 Dec 2024 11:44:37
Can’t argue with any of that, problem though, is you need to be playing with confidence, a tactical plan, and on field guidance, in order to play relaxed attractive football, we have none of those, so it’s a points scrap this season now, priority will be 38/40 points, no matter whomever comes in, some money will be spent but, we are not flush, staying in premier, with luck, or by any means is paramount, that I can assure you is what the board want first and foremost………, get this season over, a new manager starting afresh can review the whole situation, maybe in the future we will get what the fans want
12 Dec 2024 17:48:46
West Ham got the win but very lucky two blatant pens and terrible football, worst than DM. Sorry its time to change Loppy and whoever the next manager is he has a very big job
to change the terrile style of football that will put a smile on fans faces
1.) 13 Dec 2024 19:12:24
Whilst I am not trying to defend JLo as he is a disaster. But there does seem to be a bit of Orwellian re-writing of history going on here. Because to say the football is worse than under the Moyesiah can only come from somebody who hadn’t actually gone to the London stadium last season. The only game I have seen thus far this season that was worse than the turgid crap served up by Moyes was the 0.0 draw against Everton. The football is poor and disorganised, but there is definitely more attacking. Maybe that’s where he is going wrong he should just tell all 11 players to never leave our own penalty area like Moyes did.
2.) 14 Dec 2024 05:14:38
I find it totally unbelievable that some are suggesting the Argyll Gargoyle should return for a third stint! Surely this is an episode written by Eddie Braben in a dystopian world bereft of all reason and sanity? I cannot think of a worse outcome for the mistake by our majority owner in appointing Lopetegui to the vacated position of head coach. The belated vacation of that position last summer was the correct move. It all went tits up when Sullivan decided he knew better than all others, other than his agent mate. Most agree that Lopetegui must be removed, but surely not for the retrograde step of re-employing the Dark Prince of boring stationary football?
11 Nov 2024 10:12:11
We got rid of DM because of the style of football we were playing and let's face it its worse now. Sorry but we all agree its time for Loppy to go
Now the question is who is available and who would want to come whoever it is has a big job to turn it around
but NOW is the time to do it before its too late
1.) 11 Nov 2024 11:34:16
Totally agreed, there’s an old saying, you pay peanuts you get monkeys, Sullivan does it on the cheap, and won’t be advised, by the people around him, this is the result, it doesn’t make any sense to spend ( in WH terms ) big money on new players, and make a foolish managerial choice, for me, the longer this man is the manager the worse it will get, full stop other sides pick up a bit of form, we won’t, writing is on the wall, this is the time to make a change, same mistake was made with Moyes Let him go on too long, so the end of his term was disastrous, Myself and just a few others saw this coming three games in , a few agreed with us most didn’t OK they do now!
2.) 11 Nov 2024 15:14:01
Sullivan's as addicted to the cheap option . As much as George best liked a bird .
3.) 11 Nov 2024 17:47:00
Sullivan made his money out of tits and bums. He has transferred his acquired “business sense” from exposure of the female anatomy to the world of football. The trouble is, he still thinks like a secondhand car salesman.
4.) 16 Nov 2024 13:54:26
Speculation - you cannot know how the man thinks only he knows for sure.
Speculation.
06 Nov 2024 22:58:53
well i think we all agreed our current Manager needs replacing it just didn't work, so we now move on i think it would be wise to replace him with a manager with Premiership experience so i would like Graham Potts with Kevin Nolan
What do u lads think
1.) 07 Nov 2024 07:25:03
Not a bad shout. Need someone that the players believe will take them forward
2.) 07 Nov 2024 16:10:17
I have heard the Stutgart manager Sebastian Hoeness mentioned and he sounds decent. A big no to Potter for me as I feel Brightons good form over the last few years is all down to the excellent way the club is run.
I still have reservations, not because JLo has shown himself to be any good, far from it. I just don’t like the idea of constantly changing manager. I don’t think it is good, but after a performance like last Saturday’s especially after a decent win (if a little fortuitous) against United the end has to be nigh!
{Ed002's Note - Sebastian Hoeness is not an option for West Ham.}
3.) 07 Nov 2024 16:29:30
Cheers Ed 002
Another one bites the dust
{Ed002's Note - I am sure there will be others as well, but:
Graham Potter (C) - Will certainly near the top of the list
Edin Terzic (C) - Would be a great option
Frank Lampard - Would he turn down Roma for West Ham?
Kasper Hjulmand (C) - I expect he will be considered but I am not convinced
Gareth Southgate (C) - Possible
Roger Schmidt (C) - May not be interested
Steve Holland (C) - Wildcard
Michael Carrick (C) - Wildcard, but impressing
4.) 07 Nov 2024 20:43:24
Ed,
Is this just your opinion, or do you have a reliable source please? Jacob Steinberg, whose information in the past has allegedly come from within the WHU boardroom, disagrees with your comments. He has suggested there is a short list of 3 possible managers:
Roger Schmidt;
Kasper Hjulmand;
Sebastian Hoeness.
How reliable this list is, I don’t know.
{Ed002's Note - I spoke with somebody and whilst Hoeness may be of interest he is not an option.}
5.) 07 Nov 2024 21:12:20
Another name being suggested is Sergio Conceicao, but there would be strong competition for his signature.
6.) 08 Nov 2024 20:42:44
I don’t want another European manager. We have had 3, and only 1 ‘sort of’ worked, Bilic. Pellegrini and Loppy have been poor. Get Potter and go British with Nolan as his assistant.
7.) 09 Nov 2024 09:12:11
Brooking, I entirely agree??⚒⚒⚒
30 Aug 2024 01:29:58
Perhaps its about time we should be looking at our youngsters coming through before we loose them to other clubs, if we can't produce home grown players why do we have them, why buy players over 30years old who won't leave when they can't even run its like part of WH pension plan
15 Aug 2024 21:48:23
100% agree
15 Aug 2024 21:30:35
We must give him time to blend in the players asa team
Im sure he is the right man for the job Sink or swim he's a breath of fresh air, i hope big Sam will watch WH and perhaps he will lean what the West Ham way is.
15 Aug 2024 20:55:52
Antonio should benefit instead of having to play kick and Antonio chase long balls and 3 defenders the last 2 years, yes he has lost pace but he is still strong and hard to knock off the ball, i still think he would give us 15+ goals as a backup forward until we find someone better, if we buy a backup centre foreward then let him go, sooner him than Ings.
13 Aug 2024 19:14:13
Yes a lot of rubbish to throw in the bin but les face it, it had to be done. We must be prepared not to expect too much at once but give Lopetegui time to blend the new players in and get WH to play attacking football instead of defend from the off.
Perhaps big Sam might learn what to WH way is'
19 Aug 2023 21:53:27
Surly our main problems are a left back and a centre forward
Oh and another Manager
19 Aug 2023 21:45:06
It just shows you how the man thinks or doesn't think
