West Ham Rumours 2

02 Feb 2026 21:07:11
What's happened to the Disasi deal? thought you only got 2 hours after the deal sheet went in to get the deal done?

02 Feb 2026 17:20:52
Few facts of interest, NO bid was ever made for either John Egan or Hayden Hackney
Noble DID recommend NNADI to WH as well as MATHIAS DELORGE of Gent

He was ignored on both, why waste money on him chasing around, looking at players, that apparently were never even considered

Noble will say nothing he's on 50 k a week, but he must be thinking, what' is going on here!

The answer is with Sullivan Your wasting your time, you can promote any names all will be ignored

Clubs a complete mess

02 Feb 2026 17:30:53
Agreed joyful. And we blame nuno?

Only one person to blame gor the entire mess

02 Feb 2026 17:37:05
Sad really isn't it? Maybe mother nature just needs to do it's thing re Sullivan. It's like torture living under his ownership

02 Feb 2026 18:09:04
If by some miracle we do get disasi, and we can get him fit, he could be just what we need. Whilst not comfortable passing the ball about, he is a solid defender who commits himself and works hard.

02 Feb 2026 18:25:24
Mac, you are wrong. The entire blame does not rest on Nuno’s shoulders. I think we all know at whose door the blame lies for how bad the club is run. However, Sullivan did not select Saturday’s team, nor direct the tactics or make the team changes. He selected the dumbo who did.

02 Feb 2026 18:56:47
Tin. Have u thought we've had 3 decent managers this season who couldn't get a tune out of this lot. Yes, nuno has made some bad decisions, but he has finally got us playing with some conviction.

Let's not be blinded by the defeat at Chelsea, if tobido had scored it would've been game over. Small margins lie between victory and defeat in the Premier league and as we all know, when you got your opponents by the throat, you have to take the chances to kill them off.

To sum up, although he has dropped some clangers, there is finally a ray of hope we could actually get out of this mess.

My problem is that even if ge does, I fear we will be having the same conversation every season until this board has gone.

Burnley is the acid test. Lose that and its over

02 Feb 2026 19:04:51
Sullivan, Potter and Nuno all equally to blame for this current mess. We have lost 18 points from winning positions this season. Those 18 points would have put us in 7th on 38 points! Sullivan wouldn’t put his hand in his pocket for Cresswell etc and Nuno keeps trying to protect leads with Kilman in the back 4! Both are B*ll*nds obviously as is Potter!

02 Feb 2026 19:28:22
Sullivan is ultimatl6 to blame but that doesn't mean Nuno shouldn't shoulder his share of the blame aswell terrible team selections, tactics and substitutions throwing away points are totally on him

02 Feb 2026 19:41:03
Even by our usual disastrous windows this has to be one of the worse. Or at least the end part. The inability to get in a 2 half decent CBs and a creative midfielder is a joke and the fact we seem to have got one CB in on loan who by all accounts the manager doesn’t rate and it seems that the player didn’t want to come here and his ability and fitness is questionable at best.

Obviously I hope our worries about his ability are unfounded and he rediscovers his early form with Monaco which has been said to be decent

02 Feb 2026 21:51:34
Dabber I’m sorry mate but you are are being far too fair to Sullivan there giving him equal billing for our current predicament. The whole reason we are in this mess ALL leads back to Sullivan and Brady’s door. And the way this club is still run like an unprofessional outfit from the 80s. The chairman that buys the players. That hires poor manager after poor manager and also didn’t get shot of Moyes after the euro win. Where has all the money gone? How much money are people like Brady earning.

He operates in the transfer window like Arthur Daley.
As much as Killman has been terrible he isn’t to blame for everything. And as he has been that bad why does Sullivan not replace him. Nuno has cost us points and Potter was a turgid manager out of his depth and Loppy was totally unsuitable to this club Sullivan thought he knew best with all these appointments. Our club has become a laughing stock due to shoddy little person

03 Feb 2026 11:41:04
Fair enough Hammer-D mate, you are right Sullivan is the main culprit and is worse than a B*ll*nd, he’s a nasty, narcissistic con man! I had real hope that Nuno could turn things around when he took over but I just don’t have time for somebody who makes the same mistake over and over. Our defenders can't defend under pressure including the goalkeeper and yet Nuno invites that unwanted pressure onto them by trying to protect leads. As for Kilman unless Steidten is a complete amateur there must be a half decent player in there but he’s obviously devoid of any confidence, he even made a signal to heaven when he came on on Saturday which I’ve never seen before.

I’m generally a positive thinker and still believe we can just about escape being relegated but only because the forwards and midfield have hit form. I think that is down to Nuno’s new number 2, an attack minded coach. I want us to stay up because relegation could mean massive problems for us as a club however whatever speeds up the demise of the poison dwarf and his sidekicks also appeals. Sorry for the long winded response and appreciate your comments as always HD

03 Feb 2026 13:31:19
Hey DH don’t worry about the long winded texts, I’m a specialist. 😂
Your points are very valid I’m similar to you in your opinion of Nuno as I didn’t see him as a long term solution but did think he could keep us up. It’s now looking very doubtful and h[e has to take responsibility for that because of his horrendous substitutions.i feel he has done some good stuff and if it is down to him the change to a more attacking style then good on him. I suspect it may be the new coach that has done this. Because this upturn in style has only happened since he has been here.

I think weather we stay up or drop Nuno needs to go and I would take a chance on the Spanish coach to take over. I’m sure he has nothing to do with the substitutions. Killman is zero in confidence he didn’t do anything particularly bad the other night (nor did the rest of the defence) but he understandably looks nervous. But here is where the poisoned dwarf is ultimately to blame for continually having a stupidly small squad and no defence alternative apart from bargain basement options.

03 Feb 2026 17:01:37
Sorry Dabber meant DH not HD

03 Feb 2026 17:34:40
You’re right HD about the new coach, Paco Jemez, apparently recognised as an attack minded coach and actually fell out with Nuno over one of his substitution decisions a couple of weeks ago.

As our defence minded head coach is not learning and our owners haven’t helped them by buying any meaningful better alternatives I’d like to see Jemez given a crack at it ……at least it would be fun 😁

02 Feb 2026 10:10:01
Nnadi signed for Marseille for 6m euros.

Disasi coming in unfit, not trained and not played for 6 months.

Still no sign of keeper or midfielder? 9 hours left for one of the most important windows in recent history

02 Feb 2026 11:27:58
Ngolo kante signed for 5m euros to fenerbahce.

02 Feb 2026 09:40:29
Disasi hasn't played for 6 months and isn't training. We need a CB who can start now and the hit the ground running

Kinski will not be joining full stop

01 Feb 2026 18:32:52
West Ham will not sign Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Negotiations have broken down.

Would we make another run at Dier? What about Egan on deadline day?

Let's not forget we need a Paqueta replacement!

02 Feb 2026 08:00:32
Eric Dier is injured, with an unknown return date

02 Feb 2026 08:29:04
Stefan Ortega has joined Nottingham Forest on loan. so our goalkeeping options are one fewer. Got to be honest, I'd rather two centre backs and a central midfielder in today, but in truth I don't see a lot happening at all. Maybe, just maybe, Disasi to join on loan.

We should have been all over the Gomes deal from Marseille, but he is joining Wolves.

02 Feb 2026 08:53:08
Disasi on loan is all we can expect today i think

02 Feb 2026 12:29:39
Agreed, a sure sign of our ambition!

01 Feb 2026 15:00:27
Angel gomes to wolves

01 Feb 2026 15:51:28
With an option as well for about 6-7m, he's better than that polish fella and the nigerian we were linked to, he'd actually add something different to our midfield and could provide creativity if fernandes was to get injured. We are ran by clowns though so not surprised we aren't all over this

Apparently they are close on Adam Armstrong, good striker for the championship, preparing to come straight back up while we stagnate and leave things to the last minute.

01 Feb 2026 17:12:33
The "west ham way"

01 Feb 2026 17:16:58
We were heavily linked with Gomez last season and pre-season. The fact that we have let this one go is an absolute joke. I’m beginning to think Sully wants us to be relegated. I’m struggling to understand what he can get out of relegation apart from being much poorer which is all he worries about.

Although it is just an example how much of a short sighted and ignorant fool he is

01 Feb 2026 18:22:22
There is simply no long term plan or vision. Its always the same, every window

01 Feb 2026 18:26:04
Problem we have now, as always, is that we've left it so late, any team we get a player from need to get a replacement

31 Jan 2026 12:40:05
Any news on the rumour surrounding the Brazilian Ze Vitor who currently plays for Nacional in Portugal? This guy is being discussed by a few sources.

31 Jan 2026 14:21:45
There’s nothing on Agency at the moment in regard to this player,
WH are rummaging through, the clearance boxes at present

So who knows what they will come up with, anything.can happen

BUT times moving on now with teams playing today and tomorrow, whomever they go for, it needs to be quick

Any incoming players need to be in London by latest 1 pm Monday
Market shuts 7 pm

31 Jan 2026 16:30:30
Leaving it very late as always.

31 Jan 2026 08:21:57
Morning all, Joyful this could be one for you, or does anyone know what we offered for Harwood-Bellis.

31 Jan 2026 10:36:10
Yes it was £13,m plus small amount of add ons, not £12 m The offer was too spread out with too many variables as well, a bit silly ……WH either want him or they don’t full stop,
IF they do they need to rise to at least £15 m, and make it £5x5x5/in all just 3 payments, if they do that, or very similar I think it will happen
IF they don’t it won’t, Looks like Saints have a marker set for this possible transfer, and will walk if WH don’t reach it

31 Jan 2026 11:07:06
Cheers Joyful, that’s ridiculously cheap for a young experienced defender who has also played at international level, surely West Ham can meet what Southampton want, they would be foolish to let this one slip away.

31 Jan 2026 12:27:18
Couldn't agree more with you guys. I see he is in saints starting 11 today. He has been a mainstay for England u21s. i'm a little concerned about how things our midfield is unless he plans on bringing through Fearon, Kante

30 Jan 2026 17:12:17
WAGES INFO 120k a week till seasons end for TRAORE

Castellanos is on £105 k a week

That will keep you warm this.chilly night

31 Jan 2026 09:37:11
Talk about desperate and overpaying. Both will be off If/When we get relegated.

31 Jan 2026 10:38:00
Traore ONLY has a five month contract anyway, and then reverts to a free agent, Castellanos, there is no way he hasn’t got a relegation clause in his contract

30 Jan 2026 15:30:45
MILAN have just put a DRY LOAN bid in for DISASI, so might be best to discount, this player, unless something goes wrong there

30 Jan 2026 20:38:37
Doesn't he want to stay in premier league, so i read somewhere?

31 Jan 2026 09:30:15
There has been late movement by several clubs 3 from Italy and 2 unknown, for dry loans for Disasi, so until he signs, it’s up in the air, further there would be no chase for Harwood Bellis, or anyone else, defender wise, if Disasi was signing

30 Jan 2026 15:25:46
Was only a matter of time before we were linked to Harwood-Bellis.

I know we were linked to the Coventry CB but no chance they would sell in the position they were in after quoting silly money for their strikers.

Bellis statically been one of the best CBs in the championship for multiple seasons and Southampton currently sit in 15th so could be a chance of getting him, also would be someome that can stay and help us get back into the prem if we do go down, makes sense to me.

Also a salthouse client.

30 Jan 2026 16:50:00
Happy Birthday, to Harwood Bellis, will he celebrate by joining WH?,
Truth of the matter, for me he was a hot prospect Couple of years back, but now seems very average, bit of an odd choice for me, but who knows?

30 Jan 2026 16:50:01
Sounds a good shout Al. A lot better than many I’ve heard

31 Jan 2026 08:55:21
Harwood Bellis has his Father in Law Roy Keane to tout him about, would WH want him interfering? ⚒⚒⚒

30 Jan 2026 13:03:25
ZALEWSKI, Just heard that Atalanta have informed WH that at this time they do not wish to part with this player, they will review this, at seasons end, if WH are still interested, not a question of a few more euros

WH need to mo=e on quickly, they probably are, great pity

I would be genuinely suprised if Atalanta do an about turn

29 Jan 2026 23:26:08
Any truth to the Duran rumours currently resurfacing?
Also Ortega, if so I'd say he's a better option than Kinsky.
But improving the first choice CBs still has to be the priority, despite Disasi
Sullivan won't go for Cresswell that's obvious but Hien?

30 Jan 2026 08:22:26
I think it is clear for all to see that West Ham are confident of bringing in two players on loan from Premiership clubs before the end of the window.

Premier League clubs are only allowed to register a maximum of two players on loan at any one time from other English top-flight sides, and if we were only looking to bring in one, we wouldn't of sent Igor Julio back to Brighton.

Sending Julio back to Brighton means we have two domestic loan slots open. So a goalkeeper and a centre back.

I can see us signing either Kinsky from Spurs or Ortega from Man City on loan to boost our keeper options and whether I like it or not I think Disasi on loan is our only likely target at centre back.

I know that means we don't spend the Paqueta money, but I can't shake the feeling that we already did when buying Castellanos and Pablo.

I think that'll be the end of our transfer window, unless we look to replace Guido and Ward-Prowse in midfield with someone like Tochukwu Nnadi from Zulte Waregem from Belgian. Although I don't think that's on the cards any more and I think we'll be seeing more of Magassa now the two of them have gone.

I think there is a chance West Ham consider a short term deal for Sterling, but that won't happen until after the window shuts.

30 Jan 2026 09:53:16
Well said, saved me a very long post, covering the loan situation

Polish boy is presently better than NNADI, in mdf but double the price

One of these is a possibility

Kinky on loan is an easier deal than Ortega, who would want number one spot

I don’t see much else happening, times getting short, we are all up for a nice suprise, but I think the business has been done

WH would be mad, to take Sterling even for amonth he was asking Spurs £250 k a week, he’s past it

30 Jan 2026 12:44:19
I don't disagree about Sterling being past his best, but I can see us signing him until the seasons end in an attempt to score our way out of relegation contention.

Personally I think Ortega is the better short term option until seasons end, because Kinsky, whilst young and undoubtedly talented, he is still raw and not enough top flight experience in a European top 5 league.

Disasi is the most likely centre back option, and I think we need to accept that he won't be followed up with another centre back signing. He will be exactly the same as Igor Julio because he won't start unless injuries or suspensions leave us with no other choice. HOWEVER, he is in my opinion a better defender than Igor Julio (faster, stronger, better in the air and may well get the best out of Todibo) .

Zalewski is a better player than Nnadi at present, but they are also completely different.

Zalewski is a left sided wing back / winger that can also play as an attacking midfielder and right winger. Think young, raw version of Davide Zappacosta (ex-Chelsea, Roma and Atalanta), Filipe Kostic (ex-Juventus and Frankfurt) .

Nnadi is a high energy, physical, aggressive defensive midfielder. He is a tenacious ball winner. Think Wilfred Ndidi (ex-Leicester City) . He has publicly said he tries to base his game play on N'Golo Kante and Moises Caicedo.

30 Jan 2026 22:46:32
Ortega contact runs out end of season so loan not really an option, Forest are looking to buy and are still at risk of relegation so why wouldn't he come to us?

29 Jan 2026 21:02:17
More on. Nicola ZALEWSKI, It seems Atalanta, are asking WH 20 m euros, they areNOT keen on selling him, but IF the player wants to leave, they might allow it, providing they have cover

This is one out of the blue, no other info At present

30 Jan 2026 03:36:48
Hien has struggled in the world cup games I’ve seen him play for Sweden. Though the whole team has flopped there.
Serie A I can’t comment on. Seems a slower league

30 Jan 2026 09:02:17
20m euros is nothing for this kid. Question is, will the board blame Nuno if we don't replace Paqueta and then use this as an excuse if we get relegated? I suspect so and I suspect the Paqueta money is already spent

30 Jan 2026 10:45:54
Zalewski seems to have played his best games at left wing back this season.

Rather us go all out for louza or hackney in the championship or similar types of players that can progress the ball foward, Fernandes is the only one we have that can do that right now.

29 Jan 2026 21:00:22
According to C&H Disaster is signing on loan till the end of season! Oh well by all accounts he is dreadful but I suppose we have to hope he turns out to be not so bad. A bit like what happened with Dawson. But somehow I doubt that.

29 Jan 2026 21:13:28
He was a shoe in, first WH where the only club, to pay his wages in full (78k a week ) , and second it’s the other side of London

Danger here is if he plays well? and we stay up, WH might be tempted to buy him, hhmmmm, we shall see how this develops, we, must not make pre judgement's

29 Jan 2026 21:38:03
I recall him being quite good at Monaco around 2022-23. Stood out in a few of the Euro games I saw. Don't know what's gone wrong at Chavski but I hope he can get back to that Monaco form for us

30 Jan 2026 08:54:15
Not enough game time kills, footballers full stop
