West Ham Rumours Mobile

26 Jun 2026 15:24:55
Mayenda, Dan Neil, it looks like Wh have not been able to get either of these two players

Neil looks like signing for Southampton, whilst Mayenda favours Stade Renaissance in France.

26 Jun 2026 15:49:10
Mate, can you give us news that's happening rather than not, it's all doom and gloom, man. 🤣🤣

26 Jun 2026 16:32:13
Ouch that's a bit harsh, WH AREi interested in many players, a few will be signed, many will not.

I gave you the first positive news yesterday on Fatuwu, transfer fee unknown at present.

Perhaps you would like to give all of us some information, instead of criticising me.

Mate, it's nothing personal. It's a joke. I think we all need some news, lol. Sorry it sounded that way.

26 Jun 2026 15:20:43
Durosinmi, Nigerian Cf playing for Pisa, is proving an attraction for WH.

I personally don’t understand why we are looking at many strikers like him, and not going for a proven championship striker.

There will, of course, be a price difference, but it also could be the difference between promotion or not.

26 Jun 2026 15:14:43
Egan Riley, bit misleading to the fans, although WH have enquired amongst others.

It is in fact Brighton, who are the main club at present.

26 Jun 2026 11:53:05
Nils Koppen, a Belgian currently with FC Copenhagen being offered the Director of Transfer role and wants to accept. Work permit meeting today.

Interesting the Copenhagen have just appointed a new DOF so may be looking for a change.

26 Jun 2026 12:50:11
To be honest, I'd never heard of the hire before Tuesday's news, yet to be confirmed.

What has he exactly done?

26 Jun 2026 13:22:01
He knows Virani from Rangers. That's what he's done, Joyful.

26 Jun 2026 15:01:34
That's a massive endorsement!

26 Jun 2026 15:37:54
In Kretinsky we trust. Steidten has a great resume, and look what a disaster he turned out to be!

26 Jun 2026 15:44:29
Hmmm, hope this is not a very quick and hurried appointment. But it's looking like it.

26 Jun 2026 17:41:14
I'd agree with Dabber here. We previously hired Tim Steidten, who, many of us including me, raved about. But, even though hindsight is a great gift, he was, by and large, a disaster. A lot of the players were definitely talented, but so unsuitable to West Ham.

I'm sure the role will evolve, so I don't feel he has to be an overnight sensation. Surely, it's more about getting the right structure in place, and, even if this guy isn't the real deal, we can replace him with someone more appropriate.

26 Jun 2026 18:04:57
To be honest, I won't talk bad about Steidten because I believe he was set up to fail. I don't think he ever had any level of autonomy; there were Moyes and Sullivan sticking their oar in. Sullivan wanted it to fail so he could make out he was the complete oracle on these matters. None of the managers appointed were anything to do with Steidten, and apparently Moyes had the last say on transfers.



Nils Coppen, I don't know loads about him. I do know he is 41 and has been at 7 different clubs in a non-player capacity, which is rarely a good sign though, but I hope he is better than what I know about him.

25 Jun 2026 16:14:05
Kilman, loan only say Ipswich, will advise say WH Nuno is undecided whether the player will be good at this level, let him out on loan, or try to sell him on.

Soon be make your mind up time.

25 Jun 2026 20:35:34
Would be nice if we could actually do something.

I get a lot going on behind the scenes, with takeovers etc, and the World Cup, but, come on, let's start the rebuild sooner rather than later.

25 Jun 2026 15:47:54
Viktor Johansen Gk Stoke, fancied by
Nuno.

26 Jun 2026 09:47:38
Hes a very good GK

25 Jun 2026 15:42:14
Can confirm that WH have made an offer for Abdul Fatawu, Leicester City winger, no details, but cannot be cheap.

25 Jun 2026 17:10:36
Doubt we can afford him, plus I am pretty sure his old club insisted on something like a 50% sell-on clause, which would make it even more expensive.

25 Jun 2026 18:23:48
WH will have the money, but do they want to fork out? Thing for me is, it just depends on who's staying. Next week may tell the story. If some go, we have to buy. I personally don't think that some of the academy names mentioned are ready for the Championship. Only my view.

25 Jun 2026 14:29:57
Fulkrug. Has been offered a deal of some kind by Fiorentina, apparently it’s virtually the same as German clubs have offered

The Italians are another club without much funds, so a free transfer is again what they are after.

24 Jun 2026 12:19:43
Summerville, It’s been stated by several media outlets that this player, has a release clause in his contract, whereby an offer for that amount has to be taken

This is completely untrue. No such clause exists in his contract

WH can conduct whatever transfer business they wish to, and can sell if they wish, at the price they wish to take.

24 Jun 2026 11:17:47
Jose Sa, Gk Wolves, Nuno has spoken to the player, whilst on the one hand he would like to play under him again.
He prefers not to play in the Championship.

He has had offers from Turkey. And that’s his likely destination.

24 Jun 2026 09:26:41
Spurs! Now taking the lead on Fernandes, have put a sweetener our way, young Mikey Moore! Promising winger, they will try to persuade him to join WH on loan this season.

24 Jun 2026 11:44:37
It won't be Spurs.

24 Jun 2026 12:14:10
Depends who makes the highest bid, and, secondly, who wants to pay the most up front.

24 Jun 2026 16:10:52
I think there will be other really good midfielders available this summer, Tonali and Anderson, for example, so he might end up at Spurs because others have filled their needs elsewhere.

Personally, I couldn't care less where he goes.

It's a bit different with a generational talent like Rice or Bowen that have been here for years, but Fernandes has been here one season and been relegated, not much affinity there for me.

24 Jun 2026 17:42:15
Nothing surprises me in football.
But, this type of player should be looking at CL / Europa football.

I know, logically, it doesn't work how I say. But, the player will have some preference.

24 Jun 2026 18:31:38
Who cares where he goes, as long as we get a decent sum for him. That is all that is important. I also really hate the treatment we dish out to players when they return. For years the fans gave Lampard and Defoe (to name just a couple) so much stick. But it never worked, as they always scored against us.

The treatment Rice still gets from sections of the crowd is a joke. Why do fans get so hot under the collar just because someone doesn't want to spend their life playing for a basket case of a club. Hopefully things will now change, and players may see us as a team worth staying at.

24 Jun 2026 21:26:20
Well, one day Fernandes says yes please, United. Next day, yes please, Spurs. Does this guy have any principles?
Seems a total journeyman.

24 Jun 2026 21:56:14
If he agrees terms with both, and Spurs offer us an acceptable offer, it forces other clubs who are serious to match it or get close. He can then have his pick. A team, maybe watching, lets Spurs do the work, then matches once it's agreed. Also, Fernandes doing right by the club, going to the highest bidder, is better than him demanding only Man U.

That wouldn't help us.

No idea about Mikey Moore, and I've heard they have some good players that could be good for the Championship, but I dunno how I'd feel about potentially Spurs fans/players making up our team.

26 Jun 2026 09:54:36
Hed be crazy to go to Spurs and I cannot see that happening he will go to either UTD/R MADRID but we will not be low balled from either ⚒️⚒️⚒️

23 Jun 2026 17:23:25
Callum Wilson now in talks with Southampton. He’s been offered a contract there, as he has been at Coventry
As previously posted WH offered a new contract, but he’s punting around. Whilst in one sense you can't blame him as a player, no point waiting on him.

WH need to move on and forget about him now.

22 Jun 2026 19:30:08
After earlier news re Todibo Marseille. Have now thrown their hat in the ring, again they are looking for a loan with option, this is not what WH are after.

22 Jun 2026 18:22:27
Kretinsky has again talked to Lee Dykes, Paul Mitchell and two others for the ongoing DOF position.

No further information at present? This needs to be sorted quickly.

22 Jun 2026 18:58:16
Becoming a bit of an issue, joyful. Thought this would have had a high priority to get sorted.

22 Jun 2026 19:27:20
It has, but it's proving to be difficult.

23 Jun 2026 08:48:35
This needs to be right.
I don't see any issue with this going a few additional weeks.

23 Jun 2026 11:49:21
I agree with Hec. No rush needed with this appointment, imo. There are plenty of people who can make buying decisions and deals in the meantime. Perhaps other things, such as Sullivan's shares potentially being sold to Staveley, might also be delaying matters, as surely whoever buys might want a say in the DoF decision...


Whatever, there are a lot of positives happening now at WHU, and, apart from the relegation, a lot of reasons to be cheerful.

23 Jun 2026 14:59:08
Kretinsky has organised enough support in the boardroom to have a majority even if Stavely buys Sullivan's shares.

23 Jun 2026 16:19:03
Hi Mark, hope you're well, been a while. Agreed, but imo, getting the right DoF is so important for the club, in terms of fit and ethos. There is no point rushing it. We don't want another Steidten.

22 Jun 2026 16:17:03
Well the players, that are not competing in the World Cup, will be back on July 6th, Monday week,

We will be better placed then to see any absences, not given permission, or not given extra time off, as they have been playing in the cup

The only player giving problems at the moment is Fulkrug, who has told Nuno he’s not coming back. He’s told WH they can rip up his contract; he doesn’t want the money! He wants to be let go.

That may well be, but WH hold his registration


WH want: Small fee from the German clubs or anybody else

WH have paid him up to date June 30th...July 1st wages are halved. WH can still save £5.5. M in wages for the last two years of his contract, save the agro let him go

22 Jun 2026 18:59:39
Am sure a few of us would happily get rid of him and drive him to his next destination.
