West Ham rumours 2

24 Dec 2025 19:42:23
MILTON DELGADO, maybe / maybe not, ?
Lots of stories, impossible to say what's going to happen BUT. At 4pm today, there has been NO bid from WH, and no agreement in place for this player, contrary to newspaper reports

One media report stated the player has already signed for WH this is categorically not true

27 Dec 2025 07:22:07
Just saw an article that ranks THE 32 STRIKERS we've been linked to and that just about sums up our transfer problems

24 Dec 2025 19:34:09
ELLIS SIMMS, whilst media has WH chasing a plethora of strikers, an enquiry has just been made at Coventry, for the above named player

24 Dec 2025 11:40:30
PROMISE DAVID, not yet giving up on this WH using an intermediary, to try and persuade, the player to come to London

David had already said. No to WH after their £20 m bid,

Stuttgart incidentally have matchedWh initial terms, don't see this happening, very unlikely but it's, football so you never know?

23 Dec 2025 16:44:42
GUILHERME, Sporting Lisbon have, or are trying to change their stance

At First Sporting offered too little for outright purchase £10 m euro

WH wouldn't give the nod, bid too low, so now Lisbon move for a loan, (fee asked by WH £1 m plus all wages paid )

WH want an obligation for £20 m euro,

Personally don't see that as it is, Lisbon will want an option only, maybe £15 m euro?


Negotiations far from done here, WH hoping that one of the three other sides apparently interested, will come in and make counter bid,

Lisbon are being difficult, but then again, what is the value of the player? He's obviously not going to play for WH

Maybe WH should accept a lower bid, and not have him return at seasons end .?

23 Dec 2025 17:31:37
We are going to regret letting him go. Anyone can see he’s a star of the future. Once again, shortsighted lack of ambition.

24 Dec 2025 06:22:26
I agree feel a bit sorry this kid. He came on against Liverpool (I think) was a bright light on a dismal performance and made a few really good runs, he is quick also but then next game he isn’t even in the squad. I think he needs that Harry Rednapp type manager to encourage and not discourage him

24 Dec 2025 09:17:48
Basically we are getting rid so we can sign Traore to replace him very short sighted move

24 Dec 2025 10:16:21
We should’ve kept him, probably would’ve done alright in the championship

24 Dec 2025 15:26:26
Yeah it doesn’t make sense. Traore is a one trick pony and even though he is quick the trick generally ain’t that good.

23 Dec 2025 13:34:28
STRAND LARSEN, this is not directly tied to WH of course
But I understand, that the player via his agent is asking for a move away from Wolves

The player doesn't want to drop into the championship. and doesn't want to wait until July to move, this out of his own choice

Wolves last week, turned away a £20 m bid from WH

Will WH return? Probably not, we shall see

23 Dec 2025 12:09:23
Seeing reports that Charlie Creswell is a done deal but from a dubious source Joyfull you any news on this

23 Dec 2025 13:03:11
Merceri sorry, mate, IT may well be but I Havnt been able to contact anyone this morning, not surprising, I suppose

Can tell you that at 4 pm yesterday, WH have signed No contracts. Nor were their any done deals

Last I heard on. Sunday re Cresswell, it was WH and Sunderland, the leading lights on this, things may have progressed, but I would hold fire

As you know many were saying Adama Traore, was a done deal, it was definitely not, as I posted yesterday

Cresswell is a young player I would like to see at WH, let’s hope your info is. correct?

23 Dec 2025 13:20:39
Exwhemployee said yesteday Cresswell wants to come, but Nuno priortising a striker.

Not sure why we can't do both.

Sullivans scattergun is back, looking at kaio George, 3 forwards from Czech league, Rafiu Durosinmi, Albion Rrahmani, Mojmir Chytil and 15 domestic based players.

Supposedly agreed to sign that LB El karouani

23 Dec 2025 13:46:54
NO, definetly not. AL c'mon mate, what's A CB got to do with a striker, sorry mate I’m, trying to be respectful towards WH ITKs but that’s just silly talk, I’m suprised at it

As posted on Banter NINE European forwards on a list not 3, ALL risky business

WH are in a fix, no question

Important decisions need to be made, and pronto, ,

23 Dec 2025 15:01:40
Yeah doesn't make sense, maybe they are trying to play it down, i know in the past its claimed that certain things are held back to avoid potentially scuppering certain deals. For me i'm surprised better placed teams wouldn't come in for him, but first team football and a release clause might swing it in our favour.

With the amount of strikers being looked at i hope we get 2, as you say risky, they might not cut in the prem but they might be more than good enough for the championship if we do go down.

23 Dec 2025 15:10:45
Cmon Joyful. This is West Ham lol ? ? we always do the same. Bid on a player, get refused, so bid on another player, bid refused, go next down the list and so on

23 Dec 2025 10:35:12
Morning all, I've just read that AC Milan have an option to buy Fullkrug for just £4m at the end of his loan, so that's another massive hit we have taken as we paid £27m, and they call themselves business men/women, joke!

23 Dec 2025 12:47:40
Stevie, sorry mate put a reply on banter by mistake

22 Dec 2025 15:47:00
Im hearing adama traore deal all but signed sealed and delivered

22 Dec 2025 17:35:09
I just read similar.

He is ridiculously rapid over the first 5 yards, but far too often unproductive.

Still, he’s under 30, I suppose.

He’s out of contract with Fulham at the end of this season, so he should not cost much.

What’s the odds he’s scores a hat-trick against us and his price goes up?

22 Dec 2025 17:49:01
Would be a complete waste of a squad place. He offers nothing, his output should be so much better than it actually is. All pace with zero footballing brain or technique. He's basically what you'd get if you tried to teach a road runner to play football.

22 Dec 2025 18:08:01
He “ Should “ be the first arrival BUT, ….it appears, that today, because of our current situation, , wrangling over length of contract, relegation clause etc etc, is going on, so hold your horses at present, it’s no certainty

WH are having these problems, all over the show,

Fulham will not agree in principal (At present, midday today ) , Not to play him against WH, even if he does transfer over, WH have to sort that out as well, WH will be. Back on this asap

22 Dec 2025 18:10:54
He'd actually have to be able to hit the target first Markro to score, underwhelming to say the least we need upgrades not more bench warmers

22 Dec 2025 18:15:47
We should have signed him years ago! ⚒⚒⚒

22 Dec 2025 18:22:03
Robbo we are in a mess, no question, everyone.
coming in now is a virtual gamble, on top of that WH are struggling to get anyone in, that’s what becoming clear

Agents are asking for all sorts of clauses owing to where we are

22 Dec 2025 18:55:18
His best season came under Nuno, 4 goals and 9 assists.

Last season he got 2 goals and 7 assists in 18 starts and 18 appearances off the bench, not bad for someone with no end product, he would have been second highest in our team for g/a last season behind Bowen.

Sometimes when I've watched him in the past he's been pretty unstoppable carrying the ball with pace. If he's still capable of that that then he will be useful for us, can see Wilson benefitting.

22 Dec 2025 23:39:06
Only way Wilson benefits AI is that he will have someone new to chat to on the bench as nuno doesn't play him anyway

23 Dec 2025 00:27:46
Maybe Robbo, but it could have been more so the opposition, paqueta dropping in to provide an extra man in midfield against tough opposition. Who knows.

Im surprised fulham are willing to let him go tbh. They must be confident they won't be in a relgation battle or they think he's finished hopefully not the latter if we do sign him.

I know quite a lot are against it, but how many players are available with prem experience that should hit the ground running, i think we know what we are getting and he offers something different to what we have.

23 Dec 2025 07:05:20
I think his best days are behind him. Generally a dreadful end product. He was good when we had Pelligrini managing us. But as said by many it could work to some degree. I don’t think many of us wanted Lingard when he came or DKL who is tearing up trees for Leeds

23 Dec 2025 09:21:27
I’ve always been a big fan of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but I doubt he would have been right for us. He’s the type of player that needs the right service. If you look at his record, he went off the boil under Dyche and Moyes, both defensive coaches. Nuno is similar, so I doubt he would have been knocking them in had he come here.

21 Dec 2025 16:16:41
STRAND LARSEN! /GUESSAND /ELLIOT/ VIPOTNIK

As you know WH are making a move for Strand Larsen, this is NOT as silly as it looks, he's actually a decent and very experienced player Wolves have zero chance of staying up and are preparing for the Championship So there's legs in this, far better than Sergeant of Norwich

WH have contacted Villa re Guessand loan and option, the player has not done much at Villa but they are involved in different competitions so may be reluctant, to let him go

Villa are thinking about returning Harvey Elliot to Liverpool ending his loan spell, WH are contemplating asking LIverpool for a loan with option

Vipotnik, of Swansea is definitely being considered, depending on who else is aquired bearing in mind, WH are trying to get two strikers not one

21 Dec 2025 16:29:10
Cheers Joyfull and for all your updates. Have a good Christmas

21 Dec 2025 17:16:54
Still beyond me why we never went for Guessand but hey, that's history

21 Dec 2025 17:18:08
Thanks for all your updates, Joyful. You've been a regular source of info all year good or bad. Have a very merry Christmas and happy new year

21 Dec 2025 18:13:20
Thanks Dabber and Mac, best wishes to you for the Xmas holidays

21 Dec 2025 18:19:25
In trying to be nice joyful and not cause an argument, we can’t go for Elliot as you can’t play for three teams in the premiership in a season so whoever told you that is wrong.

21 Dec 2025 18:47:34
Agreed mac! Appreciate the posts joy

21 Dec 2025 18:59:06
Peter your quite right lawfully, ……all my stuff comes from player Agencies, Elliot looks to be heading back to LIverpool, at present, I know for sure that WH are interested, how they would / or would not correlate with the rules, is I’m afraid beyond my pay grade, it’s impossible for me to look into all different details, hope that explains regards Joyfull

21 Dec 2025 19:21:03
I’m off to Italy for Christmas thanks for all the info joyful and others that are in the know. Have a good Christmas all…….

22 Dec 2025 03:41:42
Can't quite believe Wolves would let Strand-Larsen go but I read that he's been effectively frozen out by the supporters (who are probably as disgruntled as us over their owners) . I just wonder if someone like Spurs would come in for him as they have injuries up front. He looked pretty good for Norway vs Italy. Scored within 2 mins after coming on. We need goals for sure

{Ed001's Note - he has not broken sweat for Wolves and been abysmal all season, as well as not trying.}

22 Dec 2025 08:04:21
Exactly Ed001, so why on earth do we want him? Did we not learn about buying Wolves players. Just look at kilman.

If we buy him, we are relegated

21 Dec 2025 14:53:40
Seemingly 30m euros was big by a Russian club which was rejected so West Ham offer lowball 25m euro! Unbelievable

21 Dec 2025 15:40:51
Mac, the Brazilian said he would refuse any offer to play in Russia, that encouraged WH. Wether they want to pay a large sum for an unknown and unproven striker is another story
