Latest little bit of info says
Weve been in touch with Torino to enquire about Raoul Bellanova. West Ham have been informed that there is a deal to be done at €25m (£20m) - although interest from Man United and Aston Villa could see a bidding war commence. Torino ideally want to keep the 24-year-old.! Also, whatever happened to.our interest in Tammy Abraham?
1.) 26 Jul 2024 17:11:57
Abraham wants to stay in Italy by choice, and WH we’re never that keen
25 Jul 2024 11:58:16
Mazraoui deal agreed for £12m. He is a proper FB, very technical, two footed, plays both sides, defensively sound in 1v1's. Loads of pace and skill. Could stick him in as LB and still get AWB on the other flank. Wish we would go get SORLOTH
1.) 25 Jul 2024 13:20:01
Ornstein saying AWB rejected us as wants Milan move. They may look at using him in deal to get dumfries.
Makes sense why we have moved quickly to agree Mazraoui. Unfortunately his injury record is poor but probably explains why we are getting him close to half his market value on transfermarkt.
Still think we will return for KWP later on in the window as Southampton won't want to lose him on a free and coufals contract is up next summer.
I wouldn't be surpsied if Johnson does very well for Ipswich see no reason why he couldn't be as good if not better than KWP. Time will tell but we'll have moyes to thank for that one.

Here we go with another typical west ham move "West Ham ready £27m bid for Matias Soule" who has made up his mind wants to GO TO ROMA which our board are well aware of!
1.) 25 Jul 2024 06:17:55
Its how SULLIVAN works OSHEE! CHased this player for a few weeks who we were VERY Interested in and we probably bid £20m which theyn turned down and now because we hear he wants to go to ROMA, we decide to throw our hat in the ring to give us the old "Ah well everybody, we tried" BS line. As always, Sullivan has had all Summer, but he waits for the bargain. Not the player we want, the player he can get for his budget!
2.) 25 Jul 2024 08:35:17
I accept the player has indicated his preference is to join Roma, but I think there is a lot more going on here than meets the eye. There seems to be an intrinsic web of interest in a couple of players and I think Tim Steidten is being incredibly shrewd. Obviously this is all opinion, but hear me out.
Going by the papers West Ham are competing with Juventus for Jean-Clair Todibo and we are competing with Roma for Mathias Soule.
It is being reported that Juventus are looking to raise funds for further Summer transfer dealings by selling players and I can't shake the feeling that West Ham are misleading Juventus regarding Mathias Soule.
West Ham "outbid" Roma for Mathias Soule with unofficial bids and Juventus will push Soule towards us, rather than Roma. It has already been reported that it is Juventus' preference to sell to West Ham over Roma as they're a rival in the league and over Leicester as we are proposing more money. This delays Juventus getting funds from another side and therefore delays a move for Jean-Clair Todibo. Giving West Ham more chance to convince the player to join.
Roma are credited with an interest in Crysencio Summerville as well as Mathias Soule, but their preference is Soule. They aren't exploring a deal for Summerville at this stage because their focus is on Soule.
I feel like interest in Summerville from West Ham is more concrete than Soule, albeit I think our interest in Summerville is a ploy in some attempt to get Arsenal to lower their demands on Reiss Nelson.
I also can't shake the feeling that West Ham' preferred right back option is Aaron Wan Bissaka, and we are using Manchester United's interest in Mazraoui to knock down the price by also expressing interest in Mazraoui ourselves.
It is a bit like the Jhon Duran saga that seems to be dragging on, but I think Duran is undoubtedly our first choice and by expressing interest and pondering bids for other forwards, we are letting Aston Villa know we aren't going to be forced to meet their demands. Which I don't think is unreasonable if their demands are not reasonable.
Personally, I think if all of the above pays off, then we COULD potentially end up with Jean-Clair Todibo, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Reiss Nelson and Jhon Duran by the time our summer spending is over and when you consider we have signed Max Kilman already, that is five starting eleven players in one window.
Thoughts?

Sounds like why we employed Steidten. Tbh I’d rather get Mazraoui than AWB, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
21 Jul 2024 17:25:10
Yesterday a report in Italy claimed Napoli approached Villa for Duran.
But the Serie A side were told he will be signing for West Ham in a £31m deal.
Hopefully this means West Ham will now be pushing to complete a deal for Duran as the report from Italy suggested. This has been an ongoing saga for West Ham this window where strikers are concerned as the club try hard to make sure they don't make the same mistakes as they did with Sebastian haller and Gianlucca Scamacca.
21 Jul 2024 14:44:30
West Ham are weighing up a move to sign AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, after a move for Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo collapsed. West Ham are also pondering a move for alexis salamakers and are still in talks (lots of talking) for KWP!

I don't think there is anything needs adding to the Claret and Booze You Tube "Nothing has changed at West Ham Daily Grumble". He has hit the nail on the head multiple times.
Try watching it.
As he said, our problem is sullivan and agents!
26 Jul 2024 20:15:49
Still hoping we can have some positive news on the striker front before end of the window.
1.) 26 Jul 2024 20:59:16
I saw on C&H just now that they have agreed at £40 million for Duran.
I have to be honest I didn’t read the article because I think I will wait till I see him in the hammers shirt first. Can’t help feeling we have wasted a considerable amount of time here and with the other potential signings
2.) 27 Jul 2024 08:25:56
I am (believe it or not) trying to remain positive, but it's not easy in WEST HAM LAND. One thing for sure, I bet LOP is furious with failed attempt after failed attempt. How about we change tactics. Identify a player, get him valued, ask the club what they want if its within budget have talks, agree a deal bring him in. What we do is have talks, bid low, have more talks, bid slightly higher, have more talks with club and player then after weeks the deal falls down for one reason or another. Remember Carlos Bacca!
3.) 27 Jul 2024 09:08:42
Agreed HAMMER-D. We had such an opportunity this window after bringing in new manager and with TS running the recruitment, but, it's the same old West ham.
Check out claret and booze daily grumble. Not happy and he is honestly stating why we have such problems during windows (a fair bit of swearing aswell) but you can feel his passion for our beloved club which is fast becoming a joke
4.) 27 Jul 2024 09:09:58
Check c&b "nothing changes at west ham" daily grumble which sums all our problems up
25 Jul 2024 22:00:07
Time to forget tobido and get MALIK THIAW or tomori from Milan both quality CBs
25 Jul 2024 21:56:31
It might be me, but I don't understand why we are so desperate for Duran that we would even think of offering Orford? £35m for a player with bad attitude?
Surely time to move on?
Keep Orford and develop him.
23 Jul 2024 15:38:43
If we get DURAN DURAN, every time he scores do we sing "goals on film" lol
1.) 24 Jul 2024 10:26:37
Oshee, Think you might. Be a Durán Duran fan?Could do worse?⚒⚒⚒⚒
2.) 24 Jul 2024 11:42:33
I can see that catching on in the stands OSHEE If of course we get DURAN
27 Jul 2024 08:57:15
For nothing he could have been a squad player.
27 Jul 2024 08:55:58
Unless it's SILKMAN OR SALTHOUSE player SULLIVAN doesn't like doing business.
26 Jul 2024 20:13:35
Agreed Joyful. Seems as though we are edging our bets bidding for both players?
26 Jul 2024 18:28:25
Amazing that Fulham and teams around us manage to get players over the line. We take far too long and each identified targeted player turns into a saga with low ridiculous offers or we set our sights far too high. We could have had Sessegnon for zip. Jota for £10m to name but a few. Tobido was never going to come to us and yet we wasted 2 weeks on him. Should have gone for more realistic targets the entire window. It's a farce the way we conduct business, ridiculed across the
26 Jul 2024 11:52:42
Agreed BillyDwhizz. Walk away and invest elsewhere. I can see Isak to Chelsea, Duran to Newcastle and we will end up with Wilson or Calvert Lewin you just watch!

Still plenty of time left for us to make this window a successful one. Plenty of players out there that can be difference makers for us.
26 Jul 2024 11:54:05
Wow, that just about sums things up but there is still plenty of time. Ok so LOP wanted majority of his signings in by now, but that's not how SULLY works!
