Mike, hearing the RB is Arbeloa.
1.) 31 Aug 2016 15:26:38
ARBELOA coming to WEST HAM meaning IORFA doesn't look likely. COYI.
2.) 31 Aug 2016 15:51:53
Seems that way.
3.) 31 Aug 2016 16:03:51
West Ham are giving a medical to free agent Alvaro Arbeloa with the view to signing him on a one-year deal, according to ssn.
4.) 31 Aug 2016 16:24:50
Just about sums this window up, RB free agent coming in, loan deals, I thought the you lad from Wolves would have been a good addition, young athletic and has pace, very disappointed in this window to day the least,
5.) 31 Aug 2016 16:30:21
Everton making a £1.5m loan offer for Valencia.
6.) 31 Aug 2016 17:05:44
If they offered a £1 I fecking take it. And take your mate tore to.
7.) 31 Aug 2016 15:25:54
Perfect solution IMO, would take him all day long over Richards.
8.) 31 Aug 2016 17:18:52
And me and I'd drive him.
9.) 31 Aug 2016 19:20:11
IORFA is more than keen to sign for us we'd get him for 5 mill surely we can stump up that. COYI.
31 Aug 2016 14:24:19
Medical booked for a potential new signing at Spire Roding this afternoon.
1.) 31 Aug 2016 14:34:06
HAMMERS SEEK COVER?
Here's Ed Draper for ssn with the latest from West Ham.
"West ham are looking at Dominic Iorfa who could provide cover at right-back to Sam Byram and Michail Antonio.
"West Ham are saying they may offload an attacking player, and we believe that may be Enner Valencia if anyone. He’s away with Ecuador but we’ll keep you across that. "
2.) 31 Aug 2016 15:07:24
Arbeloa.
3.) 31 Aug 2016 15:25:08
arebola? been mentioned aswell anyone else heard this?
4.) 31 Aug 2016 15:26:41
Alvaro Arbeloa is in the country with a view to signing a one-year contract with West Ham, ssn understand. this from ssn.
5.) 31 Aug 2016 15:40:36
Arbeloa is 33 and on a free so wouldn't surprise me. Really do hope it's Iorfa though.
6.) 31 Aug 2016 15:52:19
Wouldn't mind both.
7.) 31 Aug 2016 16:30:43
Was thinking both would be great. Arbeloa coming in on a one year deal to impart knowledge onto byram and Iorfa. Be very surprised though everyones been calling for a new rb to be signed but this is west ham.
8.) 31 Aug 2016 15:59:09
With FFP in mind we only need 1, Arbeloa would be more suited to what we need right now. Perfect signing, although no doubt because he's free the owners are going to be called tight.
9.) 31 Aug 2016 22:33:09
Be interesting to see how much we are paying arbeloa per week in comparison to how much we would of payed Iorfa. Certainly don't think he's a bad signing just short term where as iorfa could of had a long career with us can just imagine him having a cracking season, pricing us out of a move and becoming a top rb for someone else.
30 Aug 2016 14:15:45
Hi Mike, have you heard of any new RB targets?
1.) 30 Aug 2016 14:45:00
Tommy there are a few obvious targets BUT it appears WH are looking for. ANOTHER cheapo deal, THIS is simply madness, YOU cannot expect BYRAM to play probably another 45 games without a suspension or an injury niggle of some kind, I scratch my head in exasperation sometimes, IF you want to climb the league you MUST invest in quality that's it, IF you want to get a decent right back think at least 5/ 6 m not 1-2m! IRONMIKE.
2.) 30 Aug 2016 14:52:23
What bout sakho from liverpool.
3.) 30 Aug 2016 15:09:36
HES a good choice, stoke failed with him, BUT he's got a bad temperament problem apparently, Unfortunately my friend WE do NOT make the choices! IRONMIKE.
4.) 30 Aug 2016 15:17:21
Any chance we will go in for Matteo Darmian?
{Ed002's Note - None.}
5.) 30 Aug 2016 15:33:47
Mica Richards, I still think he has a lot to offer, and I think his price would be reasonable.
6.) 30 Aug 2016 15:39:08
I heard we might go back for iorfa at wolves wouldn't be a bad shout.
7.) 30 Aug 2016 15:45:40
HE LOOKS to be off to Inter, IRONMIKE.
8.) 30 Aug 2016 18:41:45
if we can get rid of Valencia and Sakho for about 20 million in total we should go for bony 15-18 mill then get either cacares or arbeola both on free to cover rb slot that way covered the whole squad adequately good competition for places.
27 Aug 2016 16:54:12
I'm hearing the Zaza deal if OFF. Terms could not be agreed. Mike can you confirm?
1.) 27 Aug 2016 17:01:49
There's a heated debate going on, with his representatives I heard couple of hours back, This deal had been concluded on Thursday as I said SOMEBODY has tried to change the format it's a little too early to say it's over IRONMIKE.
2.) 27 Aug 2016 17:19:15
Barry Silkman involved maybe? This would be so dissapointing if it fell apart at this stage.
3.) 27 Aug 2016 17:32:23
The original format was, zaza arrives Friday morning meets director goes to hotel in canary wharf, Saturday morning early medical, then goes to stadium with reps to sign on dotted line, maybe a medical problem has shown up, BUT frankly it's now 5,30 pm we should have his signature by now and that's it, so something has gone AWOL, IRONMIKE.
{Ed002's Note - I explained the situation yesterday Mike.}
26 Aug 2016 10:16:03
Mike, have you heard anything on Payet?
Call me paranoid, but I'm not buying the whole injury or 'slight knock' stories. Bilic has just pretty much confirmed he won't feature at City.
It seems to me there maybe something going on behind the scenes and he could be off.
Spurs did similar will Bale when he went to Madrid. Keep a low profile so he doesn't get burnt in public, which is what Payet's agent said.
1.) 26 Aug 2016 10:44:22
I rekon payet and possibly lanzini may be off, hence neither of them appeared last night, zaza is a smokescreen buy to take the pain away of losing payet and lanzini.
2.) 26 Aug 2016 11:13:38
If we sell payet and lanzini we will get crowds of 35,000 mate the board ain't stupid!
{Ed002's Note - Players are transient employees of the club, if the West Ham supporters are really that fickle then the club should look for a smaller stadium. Would Millwall be interested in a ground share?}
3.) 26 Aug 2016 11:13:52
Better not be or there will be riots. Pointless having a striker like ZAZA if he hs no supply and if Lanzini and Payet are off why didn't we get Pereya.
I am also really concerned and I think the West ham Fans world wide are concerned at this time with RB situation which KEEPS GETTING found out. When will Slaven and the owners learn and address the situation?
4.) 26 Aug 2016 10:50:00
Come on lads - get a grip. Do you really think we would sell our 2 best players?
I know we lost last night but come on! It's as if some people actually want to see West Ham do badly just to give them something to moan about.
We should have strolled past Astra last night - why the hell would we risk Payet or Lanzini in a game which we should have won easily.
5.) 26 Aug 2016 10:57:06
I think you're right mate. To add salt to the wounds, Payet has been named in the French squad playing next week. Piss take.
6.) 26 Aug 2016 11:00:44
Payet and lanzini will be going nowhere, the problem lies with Bilic and the way he sets up the team and the terrible buys (apart from Masuake) .
The buck should stop with him.
Let's not pretend or dream we are a big club because we are far away from there!
7.) 26 Aug 2016 11:01:48
I can tell you Lanzini will definitely not be sold as he only signed permanently this summer. Payet on the other hand, the fact he hasn't played any Europa league hence not cup tieing him in Europe may be a bad sign that he is moving on. I just hope if he is we get a good replacement from the club he is going to as well as a lot of cash.
8.) 26 Aug 2016 11:31:29
Lanzini won't be sold, but it's becoming obvious Payet's future does not seem to be at West Ham.
I can't blame him, the guy is world class and deserves Champs League football. What could cause a mini riot between fans is the way the manager and board have handled it. All we've heard all Summer is his 100% staying, we won't sell him unless its silly money - Bilic only said last week keeping him was massive for the club. Every sign points to him leaving right now though and very little time to find a top replacement, especially being out of Europe.
9.) 26 Aug 2016 11:39:42
Hang on a second. Am I being stupid or ignorant here because I don't understand where this talk is coming from. I honestly don't see them leaving. Do you not think that if Payet was going to be sold we would have sold him by now and used the money to bring in one of those big names we were chasing (lacazette for example) .
I may be being very silly here but I just can't see it. I really really hope I'm right, because we could have used some Lanzini and Payet magic last night.
Let's all not forget that they genuinely could be (and probably are) not quite fit yet.
10.) 26 Aug 2016 11:42:51
leave it out they ain't going to sell either, after everything they've said about payet all summer, and the way the show a pic of everything he does on the Web page given a big shirt at the stadium even though he's only been with us for a season would be embarrassing for them if we sold him, plus they must realise we are quite crap without payet and lanzini.
11.) 26 Aug 2016 12:02:06
Not trying to incite panic lads, just piecing together the current situation. It is so similar to that of Bale when he left Spurs.
1) Agent comes out and said Payet never said he was staying, or he would 'get burnt in public'
2) No social media interaction (baring in mind he was the most active last season) it's weird.
3) Has an apparent injury, no real updates from the club as to what it is. Not been in training or at the club for over a week. Now Bilic has lied that he would play Sunday when he clearly wont.
4) Hasn't once been to the stadium to watch the team like others.
5) Named in French squad to play next week.
12.) 26 Aug 2016 12:15:56
1 bad result and so the negativity and paranoia begins. That's me done with this page. Last year bilic hailed for the attractive attacking football, great buys. He has 5 first team players out, we lose and suddenly it's let's get rid of him.
13.) 26 Aug 2016 13:36:36
no one has said get rid of Bilic here not sure why your saying that.
14.) 26 Aug 2016 15:18:23
There's a few that have been hinting he's not good enough already.
Robbel for example - "Payet and lanzini will be going nowhere, the problem lies with Bilic and the way he sets up the team and the terrible buys (apart from Masuake) "
And numerous other things written across twitter.
The over the top panic is frankly just stupid and shows a huge lack of peoples understanding of football. I'm all for opinions and different views but some are so extreme it's a joke.
15.) 26 Aug 2016 18:13:04
It would cost the club a few bob to refund all the shirts with Payet 27 on if he were to leave this week.
16.) 26 Aug 2016 22:41:47
fair enough hammer316 I don't read twitter so no idea what was said on there.

Statement from Sullivan saying they're close on a manager with Premier League and European experience.
"We have followed a process that is progressing entirely to plan and are now very close to reaching an agreement.
"This is an exciting time for our football club. We are preparing to appoint a manager who has a proven record of success at the highest level of the game. "
Pellegrini surely?
1.) 17 May 2018 19:27:47
Rafa also ticks those boxes, and so could others . The game continues ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘.
28 Jun 2018 13:13:46
Hi Ed, do you have any insightful West Ham transfer news or? You seem to know what's going on, as you shoot down most of the rumours on here, so assume you're in the know about these things - it might be helpful. Asking for a friend.
{Ed002's Note - I would rather avoid providing information. Mike does just fine.}
26 Jun 2018 11:45:02
Ed - Are you sure? Sullivan not paying the asking price for a player, no this cannot be correct, surely. (insert sarcastic tone and roll eyes) .
15 Jun 2018 14:57:19
Honestly sick of this same saga every window. Anderson is a top top player, pay the money and get it done! You can't barter of players of this level. Lazio may have changed, but fact remains we haven't offered enough.
15 Jun 2018 11:20:32
There's a surprise Ed. Why is Sullivan still involved, this is Bacca/ Lacazette mark II.
{Ed002's Note - They know how much they want and may negotiate down a little and accept some in bonuses based on games played. But they have a hefty amount to pay to another side and have no reason to sell him on the cheap.}
30 May 2018 15:07:13
Steinberg of Guardian saying west ham seniors confirm no bid and don't think Santos is physical enough for the PL. odd.
