Jonathan Tah not happening apparently Bayer leverkusen have pulled the plug within the last hour don't know if Ed can confirm apparently the source is footballinsider?

{Ed002's Note - Tah was never going to join.}

Not looking good on incoming players we sold grady and cullen spent five million i hope its not a sulivan special.

Apparently the stumbling block was the 50% drop in wages should we be relegated from 80k down to 40k a week so not really West ham's fault how can you expect to pay a player 80k in the championship it all worked out in the end just hope he's not another huggill!

Nah this guy is a player.


2.) 01 Feb 2020 08:24:23
Jason’s, hope so, plus he plays as he does on £6k a week, as a lot in the Championship do, what a disgrace it makes a lot of ours look like, let’s hope now he’s a⚒ He doesn’t fall into the same bad habits⚒⚒⚒.


3.) 01 Feb 2020 09:17:30
i do think now we have a chance to stay in the Premiership. We now have someone with pace, skill, and an eye for goal.
Welcome to our family Jarrod.


4.) 01 Feb 2020 10:08:04
Actually he has skill but pace is not something he possesses.


5.) 01 Feb 2020 10:29:04
No idea how deals are thrashed out but he has apparently a staggering 5 and half year deal😮 No wonder we got him, who conducts these contracts, have we not learned our lesson from all the sick notes that have drained the transfer resources previously and ongoing, no need to name them we all know who they are! Why not 3 years or so, so they never learn from previous mistakes, obviously not? He is a proven scorer at the moment albeit in the Championship and I am really grateful to have anybody that helps us out but phew hope he’s not another Haller or a few others as we’ve got him for a long while? ⚒⚒⚒⚒.


6.) 01 Feb 2020 14:22:27
Soucek and Antonio starting👍Hope Ant don’t try to hard and aggravate his problem, didn’t think Soucek would start? Hope Antonio helps to put a squib up Haller’s ——-🤣Really imperative not to lose, 3 points would be massive⚒⚒⚒.


7.) 01 Feb 2020 16:50:16
After this we are going down.


8.) 01 Feb 2020 17:23:28
WTF was Moyes doing subbing Ant unless he was injured or flagging, amateurish, you don’t change a winning system, do they think it looks good being technical. I still think a few seasons ago at Spurs we were 0-2 up, then Bilic made a sub for no reason, think a Spurs corner was about to be taken as he subbed, bang in it went, then Kane scored the 3-2 winner with a few minutes left, that destroyed my faith in Bilic, amateurish trying to look technically smart but end up looking a p—-. Thought Moyes was unprofessional and did the same today, 2 points thrown away👎👎.


9.) 01 Feb 2020 19:55:48
Let's remain positive. Weve started scoring goals and could have had more than two first half. Weve got bowen coming in who us match fit. Soucek looked good today. Defence can't play worse and 3 of our last 4 fixtures are against norwich, watford and villa where I have confidence we will win them fixtures and these 3 still have liverpool and city.


10.) 02 Feb 2020 11:42:26
So gold has liked on twitter west ham fans being called morons.? We trusted you and sully and look where we are now!? You promised champions league its now gona be championship.


11.) 02 Feb 2020 19:28:08
It’s about time some realised life isn’t about promises, they are sometimes impossible to keep, that’s what children believe in not adults, it’s easy to sell any product to a naive punter when he knows he is going to line his pocket!


12.) 06 Feb 2020 20:41:02
On the jarrow bowen thing regarding he isn't a pacey winger but just behind the striker for me is his position he isn't slow but what he's got is 3 major things he's strong on both feet he reads the game very well and has very quick feet so let's hope he can make the transition as it's a big step up and many fail but I think he's got that ability I didn't think ANTONIO would make it but he did let's hope he can stay fitter than him but I don't think ANTONIO is fully focused on football more fast cars let's hope BOWEN applys himself fully as players get distracted by their wages and thinking they can walk on water when they get their feet under the table. COYI.

Ironmike is there any truth in rumours that Lazio want Jordan Lukaku to go to us as part of the Anderson deal or is this just rubbish paper talk I've heard Lukaku is pretty much pants! I don't know much about him other than he's Romelus brother!

martinben

1.) 13 Jul 2018 11:25:21
Belgium didn’t take a recognised LB to the World Cup. Think that says enough about Jordan Lukaku.


2.) 13 Jul 2018 11:41:42
Cheers kaneob18 so obviously not that good but just saw that they want us to take him as well which seems strange if we don’t want him or he isn’t any good!


3.) 13 Jul 2018 12:37:09
The answers in your question martinben that's why Lazio won't rid of him if true because he ain't an improvement on cresswell (who I don't rate as he can't defend for toffee) so unless a player will improve us it's pretty much tells us unless for cover but imo he ain't worth nowhere near what Lazio value him at.


4.) 13 Jul 2018 13:27:27
Think you have covered it. IRONMIKE.


5.) 13 Jul 2018 15:58:10
Think so Mike!


 

 

06 Jun 2018 09:43:20
Ironmike as mentioned before is Sullivan taking a back seat or is he still sticking his nose in and will we get the annual at the end of the transfer window look everyone we had all these players but found it hard to get anyone in like what normally happens and we sign some nobody like Hugill!

martinben

1.) 06 Jun 2018 09:54:30
Why do we get a good manger but then not give him any clout? It’s stupid, Sullivan is a pudding, he should writ a book “100 hundred ways to ruin a club and break thousands of fans spirits”
Someone said they aren’t going to hand over the keys to the castle, know one is saying that but for gods sake give the gaffa something and keep your nose out, your a business man and so called fan of the club, stick to that bit and provide the goods and let others do football side of things please. rant over.
Oh don’t get me wrong Fredericks is a good signing but we need to reach a bit higher, no disrespect to the lad what so ever as I think he will do well.
COYI.


2.) 06 Jun 2018 10:41:29
Rumours going around we are in advanced talks to sign FELIPE ANDERSON and KIA JORABCHIAM is sorting out the deal any truth MIKE. COYI.


3.) 06 Jun 2018 11:03:13
Yes but it’s not as close as is being said, WH must up there offer a little and. Wages again the same Patience and maybe. IRONMIKE.


4.) 06 Jun 2018 14:35:14
Thanks Mike what chance do you think, COYI I would have thought it depended on interest from othe clubs especially top clubs. COYI.


 

 

22 May 2018 16:42:59
Apparently Sullivan's net worth is 1 billion I'm sure if I had that much money I'd have so the premiership by now he needs to start putting his money where his mouth is and give us a squad that can start challenging but you know it won't happen the man has deep pockets but those arms I too small!

martinben

1.) 22 May 2018 16:50:36
Im off to croatia expect something good by the time i'm back.


2.) 22 May 2018 21:11:14
Sullivan might be worth £1 billion but the vast majority of that is tied up in assets not cash on the hip.

And his wealth is small compared to most premier league owners!


3.) 23 May 2018 14:21:06
A billion is still a billion whether it’s cash or assets
Yes it’s probably not as much as other own.


4.) 23 May 2018 14:22:12
It’s still a billion whether it’s cash or assets is it not!


5.) 23 May 2018 14:24:28
As other owners but it’s still a lot compared
To other clubs he’ll still pull the wool over our
Eyes we can all agree on that😀.


6.) 23 May 2018 17:08:55
I am not sure you guys understand the concept of a net worth.

His net worth includes the value of all his assets, so if he has a £50 million home, but no mortgage that is £50 million of net worth. Likewise with shares in a business he owns (West Ham)


7.) 23 May 2018 17:25:18
And we take out loans which are repayable so it not like it come straight from his pocket.


8.) 23 May 2018 21:18:41
Bkk a billionaire can still be in debt ( yes I know it’s not quite the same as our debt ) but certain rules and obligations apply.

Well if anyone had said we would spend over 100 million on transfers this season I'd have laughed but it's actually true having supported the hammers for over 40 years it's been a pleasant surprise if they all click could be exciting times ahead.

martinben

1.) 10 Aug 2018 12:20:28
Hiya RAVER i really fear for you this season if you think you will challenge for the title this year imo you won't be in the top three and i'm going down the bookies to see what price i can get for spurs not to be in top three as i think youve got a few players that don't won't to be there at this time and get the most out of KANE and ALI as they won't be there next year imo and both were very MEDIOCRE in the world cup especially ALI and KANE was shocking against CROATIA and i know what your going to say he was golden boot winner but thoose goals were against PANAMA and TUNISIA.


 

 

06 Jun 2018 11:06:40
I genuinely believe gold is a West Ham fan as for Sullivan I genuinely don't think so but he has far more say than gold and I genuinely think he has all the day in transfers etc we will never fulfill our true potential whilst Sullivan is in charge it is something as West Ham fans we'll have to accept. We may get the odd great season where we finish 7th possibly 6th but never any higher I hope Sullivan reads these comments as then he can see how much contempt REAL West Ham fans have against him but he's got broad shoulders and wouldn't give a toss anyhow we all know he's only in it for the money and power it gives him.

martinben

1.) 06 Jun 2018 12:27:41
100% agree mate, if only he read these posts, they would probably be adapted before they got near him if that was the case. I wish gold had more say in my opinion.


2.) 06 Jun 2018 19:13:19
Whitbyhammer I remember dg getting interviewed after we were relegated the last time and he genuinely looked close to tears whilst Sullivan didn’t look like he gave a toss seemed to be more worried about the loss of money but I maybe wrong I don’t know if ironmike knows any of them and can verify but that’s how it looks to me.


 

 

28 May 2018 20:01:06
I hope Sullivan seriously let's Manuel get
on with things I can only take so much last
season was the first time in 40 odd years of
supporting the hammers I seriously thought
of not bothering anymore I hope he can make his own signings and pick his own players but I don't think it will happen it's a
shame but things won't change while Sullivan or should we call him dullivan!
is in charge.

martinben

1.) 29 May 2018 15:02:17
The first year i haven't renewed and won't mine new botn child and different priorities at the moment as much as if like to i can't g3t to every game anyway.


 

 

31 Aug 2016 17:47:03
cant see us signing anyone else but saying arbeloa just signing as a mentor for sam byram also allowing us to push antonio further forward? still would like one more striker but doubt it I think mido and adebayor are available!

martinben

 

 

08 Aug 2016 21:32:39
ayew confirmed west hams record signing 20.5M welcom andre we are now getting there a couple of new defenders and reckon we will be sorted just hope we take the europa league seriously like sevilla a champions league place up for grabs has to be worth it surely?

martinben

1.) 08 Aug 2016 23:06:26
Need striker.


2.) 08 Aug 2016 23:27:01
Top striker, Calleri and experienced right back. Sell Sahko and Valencia.

Yes but he was on loan who's to say some other club couldn't have come in last hour and took him off us its happened before if you've done your homework then you shouldn't need to loan players you should already know they're good enough!

Try before you buy again! So probably won't happen same old West Ham this is why we never do well in the transfer market other clubs seem to just go get their players perhaps our scouting team just isn't up to it!

Sell Snodgrass are you having a laugh he’s been immense this season I was shocked he came back but he’s been a totally different player like a new signing. i agree with Masuaku though and give Zabba one more season just as a squad player.

Hi Jason one of the best games I can
remember was the game against Coventry
we were 2 nil down and scored 3 in 3 mins in the second half if I remember I can’t remember if it was his home debut but sandy Clark scored I think we won 5- 3
If anyone else was there they maybe able to give
more details but I just remember watching the hands go over to the Coventry fans when the 3rd went in,
doubt we’ll ever get days like those also the Barnsley
3-2with frankie macs return I nearly crushed my young lad as the crowd surged forward when we got the winner I think it was a header?
