West Ham rumours 2

14 May 2025 17:42:48
Transfer business .despite all the noise That only a select band has been sorted out for WH to pursue, This is NOT the case, their is a long running list of preference, where players will be added to, it, and some will be struck off for a variety of reasons, WH have not as yet come up with any single player, they can have a clear run at, maybe it could still happen, but not as yet, there has been keen opposition, on most of their current targets, as one fails, another will be added to, the list and so on, during these transfer times, an agreement made one minute can dissolve 10 minutes later, again for a multitude of reasons, so massive movement is taking place from now on, let's hope we can strike lucky here and there

Surely this is expected though. Finding a player we really want and have identifed (using the same tools to do so that everyone else is using) that no one else is aware of or is interested in.that's got to be rare as rocking horse sh1t.

So that all our targets have multiple suitors has to be both undertsandable and expected.

15 May 2025 21:05:20
Don’t think that WH expected quite the intensity, that some of the targets are attracting, considering the amount of players we need, I understand WH are going in a bit too lightweight money wise, they might need a rethink on funds, and if they are genuinely determined to sell before buying, lots of people are going to be sold before WH get involved, this does not have a good portent, last two seasons, it wasn’t difficult to work out how much money we were starting with, and the figures were close, at the moment it’s difficult to nail

14 May 2025 17:33:55
Besiktas a month past enquired Fulkrug, re what price WH want, Besiktas mooted 14 m euro, WH not interested, now firm bid is expected, next few days 16/17 m euro? Let's see

14 May 2025 17:31:58
WH have failed first bid for Onyedika, mdf Brugge, Belgian club looking for north of 25 m euros WH need to improve beyond the 18 m euro that was the bid?

13 May 2025 20:16:16
WH ( and others ) been alerted to fact that Aymeric Laporte is now a free agent, he's coming on 31 Will Salthouse, been charged with trying to move Cornet on, rather than paying majority of his wages at Genoa, small fee acceptable, he's got 2 years left on his contract, TBH, I would let him go on a free, but he won't go, too much money left on his contract

14 May 2025 09:31:13
Salthouse moving cornet on, some other poor so and so’ s might suffer the same as we have, although not many chairman are as stupid and gullible to trust agents…….

13 May 2025 18:35:48
WH ITKs saying Egan Riley of Burnley coming to WH, we'll why is he talking to Chelsea, about signing up for Strasbourg? Surely WH could have signed him on a free transfer if they wanted too?

13 May 2025 20:48:50
Joyful all this speculation is a joke until the season ticket window is closed and the season is over no one knows who we will sign I'm not saying you are wrong but history tells us that we don't do business early and we aren't going to sign any of these players.lets face it we are not an attractive propersition at the moment

14 May 2025 09:14:03
REDROB, entirely agree, I read posts but am completely uninterested about rumours of who we are supposedly after, but also as I have no idea who 99% of them are?
Think Joyfull does an excellent job informing fans and it must take up lots of his time looking and checking up these supposed rumours! ⚒⚒⚒

14 May 2025 13:44:18
Yeah agreed. It's all very nice saying we are linked with this player and that player but we all.know that our board like to keep things to their chests NOT!

We've already been linked with 20 strikers jeeeez

14 May 2025 14:32:29
Just posting some of what I hear, save me loads of time, if I don't bother with posts, until window opens, see if anybody else, wants me to stop then I will, it’s fine

14 May 2025 19:03:03
Hi joyful I enjoy reading your posts it wasn't a pop at you more at the club and the way they do buisness

14 May 2025 19:08:52
Keep at it, Joyfull.

We know you post in good faith.

I’ve read today that David and his entourage were impressed by Potter’s project. He’s said his goodbyes at Lille and is technically on a free (I know, I know…signing on fees, agent fees etc, etc) .

I can’t see why he would want to come to us, bearing in mind this season’s shambles. Especially when some serious, big hitting CL teams will be knocking on his door.

But, hey, ho.

There’ll be plenty of pinches of salt before this window closes.

14 May 2025 20:28:52
Good info Joyful. I like the speculation, we obviously are not going to sign all these players but it's a good indication of what type of players we are looking at.

There is a lot of click bait out there as well, find yourself and ex to be pretty solid.

14 May 2025 21:04:30
Al, WH have set themselves a difficult task, trying to find a lot of players, that represent quality , and for a reasonable price, we cannot compete at the top end, either in fees, or wages, so we are in the middle strata, but there are more, clubs in this band, than in either top or bottom bands, there’s now big competition from European clubs, I hope we can strike early and carry on

13 May 2025 18:32:32
Clement Bischiffs move to Brighton is off, the Brondby winger, being looked at by WH

13 May 2025 18:19:39
Three Spanish, and a Portuguese club interested in Aguerd, One is Villarreal, WH in talks, player and agent been very polite, no bad feelings against WH, just prefers not to return to Uk? WH should take this on board they can force the issue, but what's the point
in using player that doesn't want to be there

13 May 2025 17:42:03
WH being connected with Victor Froholdt mdf Copenhagen, young dynamic player

12 May 2025 20:35:17
Bisseck, are WH prepared to pay more than £45 m for this player? Very much doubt it, Spurs, Newcastle, and Man U might, well do so, .he's happy to leave Milan, he's on a low wage, very decent Cb, coming to WH? Like to think so, doubt it

12 May 2025 20:29:08
As posted before, WH looking into players from Jupiter league, Arokadare Cf Genk possible Karetsas atmdf unlikely then, Brugge list De Cuyper, unlikely, Talbi maybe Tsolis winger possible, Onyedika maybe, Joshari, 9 clubs on this player, WH enquiry not enough bid Ordonez Cb unlikely Anderlecht. Stroykens maybe, others Frendrup, WH may be outgunned here, by Spurs and three. Others, Summary WH may be able to pick up 2/3 players from Belgium Denmark Holland etc, but some players many clubs are involved, WH are not finding it easy, and there is massive competition on some names
