West Ham FC Rumours

21 Dec 2025 12:20:23
TWIST OR STICK, KAIO GEORGE, the Cruzeiro striker

As you all know, WH have had two successive offers turned down, for the Brazilian

Apparently they are now contemplating a third offer of 35 m euro

It's risky, as there's no time to settle in this league

If they decide go ahead, ? for me personally its a total gamble

Decision on this, must be made shortly

21 Dec 2025 13:12:04
Way too much of a Risk.

21 Dec 2025 14:31:56
Dont think they have any idea who they want anymore ? betcha we bring Andy Carroll bsck at end of window

21 Dec 2025 14:49:37
Simple answer is, if they want him that bad, pay the damn money

21 Dec 2025 14:55:28
With what we have now, Wilson who can only play every other game. We need to twist big-style. But I can’t for one moment imagine Sully shelling out 35 million he will argue with the Brazilians throughout January and settle at 34 million

21 Dec 2025 15:48:42
If a player that has the potential to become a 100m+ striker wants to join us in a relgation battle get it done, worth the risk imo.

I wouldn't be surprised if a better placed club comes in for him, but if we tell him he's going to be a starter and chuck in a relgation release clause maybe he could be tempted to get him into the world cup squad.

From what I've heard he could be brazils next number 9.

For me if we pass this up, itll be another Alvarez or a Duran.

I mean what's the alternative? Karen brady haggling all window and paying 20m for josh sargent?

Igor out
Thiago silva on a free
Kilman out,
Cresswell in,
Sangare in, or if he goes man u, try mainoo loan with a huge option to buy if we stay up.
Adama traore

And neymar haha. Not asking for much.

19 Dec 2025 14:31:46
Just to go further on what I said yesterday. David Gold got removed today as "a person with significant control of WH Holding Ltd" - the parent company of WHUFC. 3 years after he passed, bit strange timing.

19 Dec 2025 16:10:32
PETER! Much as I personally would like to see WH change hands for
The better
I would not lean too much on company resignations, Gold had. 37 different companies, in which he played a part, some are still very much active

All of those, have nothing to do with WH holdings, still if the Gold family have sold, can only be good news

More interesting, is to whom? And how much for?

This will dictate the value of the club overall, but only whilst we are in the premiership

19 Dec 2025 16:53:42
What are you on about you nutter? I haven’t mentioned his 37 other companies. I’m talking about his shares in West Ham will be changing hands. Now it is most likely to be to his daughter but the reason I mention it on a west ham rumour site is because I would assume people on this site would be interested because it could be linked to a potential takeover.

Are you always like this? Trying to prove anyone who has anything to say wrong? I mean sorry if you own this site but it seems very precious from you.

19 Dec 2025 17:20:08
Calling me a nutter! Makes you look like a complete idiot, all I did was to point out how many companies Mr Gold was involved in originally many still active, so there are no guarantees with any resignation from any companies

Not too worry, I.certainly won’t be involved with you, any further posts From you to me will be ignored

Please ignore my posts from now on

19 Dec 2025 19:51:45
Will do. I will just use NewsNow to get the same info you post. Thanks.

19 Dec 2025 21:00:32
Good luck with that!

19 Dec 2025 22:21:49
I thought you were ignoring me?

20 Dec 2025 12:11:07
Calm down, Pete. Bit of an over reaction there. I don't think joyful was having a pop at you.
Let's all just be nice eh? After all, it is christmas!

20 Dec 2025 14:33:01
Good will to all men. ?

20 Dec 2025 18:13:56
Unless your names Joyfull??Only joking mate honestly?Got to say bit aggressive from Peter, sorry Peter??⚒⚒⚒

20 Dec 2025 20:40:59
Its all gone pete tong

21 Dec 2025 18:17:28
Ok gents I apologise

19 Dec 2025 12:54:09
CHARLIE CRESSWELL, there's been a lot of talk amongst WH ITKS, treating him as a virtual shoe in for the Irons

This is NOT the case at all, Sunderland are currently at the front, Villa Chelsea Man U. Liverpool along with WH have all shown up

WH are the only club, to offer him automatic first team start, barring injuries etc

Realistically, that's because our Defence is poor and others so much better,

Will that be enough to persuade him?

He's a.very good pick, especially for WH, but he's no certainty to come

19 Dec 2025 11:01:58
THESE are some of the names, of the hedge funds that, have made an enquiry, or have had talks with the Gold family re their share holding in WH

Clearlake, Arctos, Ares, RedBird, CVC, Silverlake
Up until now, no bids have been officially made, it is believed, that no entity was interested beyond £175. m for the Golds 25%

I don't know anything re Kretinsky, other than he has had no offers for his share holding up till now

Golds we're looking for £250 m minimum for their holdings, looks like their not getting anywhere near that amount

Golds also offered to keep 5% and sell the rest

I know nothing about Tripp, other than he has tried his hand with, some of the above names but nothing has come of it

Something will happen eventually, but in our current position, Nobody is going to jump in now, surety

Relegation will see the value of WH plummet to such an extent, that the offer of £175 m for 25% of WH might look very generous

From an Agency point of view regarding all this should we manage somehow to avoid the drop Sullivan should accept the first decent offer that comes along, and vanish, because his dealings, and the general state of finances at WH, are very poor, just to be kind

19 Dec 2025 10:55:54
Any truth in the Ruben Neves rumour ?

19 Dec 2025 11:59:30
WH a are not without a glimmer, but? The lure of a higher positioned clubs, might sway the situation

18 Dec 2025 19:38:00
Big rumour circulating that there will be some good news in January. It is thought that the Tripp smith consortium backed by either/both Mark Waters from Guggenheim Partners (wants out of Chelsea) and/or Woody Johnson are in the process of buying the Gold shares apparently "been with Lawyers for months since probate". They are also talking to Dk about his shares which would mean Tripp Smith shares plus the Gold shares plus the DK shares would mean they have control. Will see what happens in Jan I guess.

Could also be the last chance Sullivan gets anywhere near the value he wants before a possible relegation. The stadium is also open to being sold. Could be a very interesting couple of years.

18 Dec 2025 22:05:26
Hopefully that's true, with the right ownership and converting the stadium to a proper stadium we would be a force. Only have to look at what Villa and Newcastle have done in such a short space of time.

Sadly i think Sullivan will drag his heals in.

18 Dec 2025 23:13:30
Everything crossed for that one mate

19 Dec 2025 01:50:50
How old is Sullivan now? Surely time to hang up his boots so to speak and accept that he won't get much further with West Ham? He won't anything else so might as well polish that Euro Conference medal LOL

19 Dec 2025 08:42:37
Im not getting my hopes up because this is West Ham, but, the sooner it happens the better. i'd rather keep DK and buy Sullivans shares. Then go build our own stadium

19 Dec 2025 11:13:36
Let’s hope so Joyful, would an unexpected great start to 2026.
Not sure about DK, Mac. He is only interested in money or property. I know most who buy clubs are. But he has done a really poor job at Sparta Prague and the fans hate him.

19 Dec 2025 13:29:06
Hi mate. I’m not Joyful, please don’t confuse me with him.

19 Dec 2025 16:10:08
Apologies fella. So used to the main rumours coming from JF I didn’t fact check

19 Dec 2025 16:54:23
No problem what’s so ever mate!

18 Dec 2025 19:30:42
Conversations continue with Charlie Cresswell. We have also explored the possibility of loans deals with Brennan Johnson (they only want to sell) and Harvey Barnes.

19 Dec 2025 08:43:07
I'd have Harvey barnes

19 Dec 2025 09:52:53
Harvey Barnes has been pretty important for Newcastle this season not sure why he'd leave?

19 Dec 2025 11:57:24
Brennan Johnson ain’t too shabby. A bit of a Jonny on the spot and knows where the goal is.

19 Dec 2025 12:30:06
Harvey Barnes to WH, ? If WH want to pay £25 m plus maybe /, a loan No way, Newcastle, will loan him out
If they could be persuaded to do such a loan, they would want a £5 m loan fee, and a mandatory £25m purchase end of season fee

For both of those reasons PLUS, why would a valued member of Newcastle, squad, want to come to a relegation threatened club?

IF WH want to pay a huge loan fee, ( which they won’t ) offer the player 300k a week (which they won’t ) and offer a dry loan, so the player can return to Newcastle at seasons end ( which they won’t ), the. He might arrive

There are all the reasons why this is shall we say doubtful

19 Dec 2025 12:38:33
Players like. Brennan Johnson, are NOT coming to WH in their current predicament

UNLESS, it’s a dry loan, so he can return to Spurs, with big loan fee attached, why on earth would he want to come to WH?

COUPLED with that, WH would have to jump his salary to 200k plus a week, that isn’t going to happen either

WH are scraping the barrel, with players like Lingard and Thiago Silva, that's STATING where we are, sorry people don’t see this at all

19 Dec 2025 13:36:43
I haven’t offered an opinion on if I think they will happen or not and have no idea of the package that would make it happen let alone offer up what I know would make a player move. Which quite frankly none of us know but hey ho.

18 Dec 2025 16:26:58
MOISE KEAN. FIORENTINA, the Italians are expecting a bid from WH

Hammers Cf targets have now reached 12, why stop there!

In WH favour, experienced at top level, this player has got both a skill set, Quick, and would probably join up if pursued, and Fiorentina need the money

Not in favour, blows hot and cold, can be a star, and equally can disappear at times

Not a top striker, but in front of some of the rubbish, WH have been looking at!

18 Dec 2025 16:08:03
Apparently 33 year old Jesse Lingard has held talks, would fit in nicely with 41 Thiago Silva and 33 (soon to be 34) year old Wilson, Dads Army United ?

18 Dec 2025 16:41:33
Lingard was very good at one time, but that was then, can he reproduce that form?

Another roll of the dice!

18 Dec 2025 17:00:29
Agree with that Joyfull, one thing that lingard offers is that he drives forward with the ball at pace, even though he’s 33 he’s probably still got a bit of pace about him, he only thinks of one thing and that’s to get the ball up the pitch as quick as possible which is what we’ve been missing, he would do well in paquetas position as he might be able to keep up with Summerville ?

18 Dec 2025 17:11:40
STEVIE, tbh Summerville although I like him he’s a bit of a lightweight gets knocked off the ball easily specially when two defenders are lined up in front of him, and he’s not producing the passes he was bought in to do, Nuno apparently has spoken of this, to his entourage

18 Dec 2025 19:13:44
I think Summerville is sometimes very good but as you say knocked off the ball too easily and the end product, shot or cross is as poor as Theo Walcott

18 Dec 2025 09:35:45
THIAGO SILVA. Are we serious? This guy is now 41!
WH looking at him for stop gap, CB

WE know how good he was, is he still?, there is a six month possibility here?

A real gamble if ever there was one!

Not for me, but Sullivan loves a washed up former star we shall keep watch

18 Dec 2025 11:49:41
He would probably want big wages as well.

18 Dec 2025 14:57:51
On massive wages, over the hill, legs have gone, welcome to the first team son!

This is exactly sullivan down to a tee will definitely happen

18 Dec 2025 19:18:36
Last salary was £37k a week. Seems to want to come back to London to be with his family and try for the World Cup. Rarely injured, played 40 odd games last few seasons. True leader. No real downside from our point of view for six months.

18 Dec 2025 21:56:02
Agree Peter, i'd take him, we need some leadership and it wouldn't surprise me even at his age he's probably better than Kilman who has been linked away, possibly Igor sent back to Brighton frees up a loan space.

Maybe he can even persuade Neymar and Kaio George to sign ?
