WH are pushing Brentford for a big sum up front for Diouf, method of payment has to suit Kretinsky. It doesn’t at the moment.
Long strung out deals have no place at WH at present. See what happens.
Awb, Fulham are keen, but they are reluctant to take mandatory loan! Don’t worry, say WH, strong attitude displayed.

WH enquire Wolves Santiago Bueno, whilst it’s not known if a bid for the Cb will go down well
Why would Wolves want to sell to main rivals at this stage?
Not the best of ideas this one. It’s unlikely he’s not wanted.
13 Aug 2026 15:32:27
Any news on the Norwegian kid. I'd really like him here.
13 Aug 2026 16:15:44
WH need to step up the money, then see what happens. All the talk counts for absolutely nothing. Would the youngster come, maybe?
13 Aug 2026 15:21:21
Austbo has just made encouraging noises. Very good player already with buckets of potential.
13 Aug 2026 17:52:41
Agreed Markro, we need young talent like this who will make a difference to our promotion push.
13 Aug 2026 15:11:12
Loads of enquiries not one bid between them
Lyon Eintracht, Fenerbache, Juventus, Marseille
What WH are quoting believed £15 m plus addons for Magassa
Lots of talk that’s it, WH are giving no one away full stop! Pay the price or leave it.
Cannot knock this attitude, but must start getting people in.
13 Aug 2026 14:45:26
Yeh it was Nuno who kod Reiss Nelson quiet right too WH have had enough of these people sitting about.
When Arsenal started forcing the purchase, that was it so last night called it a day.
However WH are nowhere near equipped squad wise for 46 games.
Contrary to virtually everyone, I do not see them winning this league, sorry.
I can see them maybe top six/eight! With the necessary additions, yes they can get promoted, but not were we are at present.
I have been watching others, so my judgement is based on that, there’s a lot better teams than Portsmouth.
13 Aug 2026 09:01:37
Diouf, Brentford, now a little less keen to get to 40 m, then the original bluster, hmmm.
If he goes, first choices Lb, the two Harry’s.
Harry Burrows Sheff Utd, Harry Amass Man Utd.
Let’s see Diouf go for thar money first.
Thing is WH, although we need money in of course now. Have things under control, they don’t seem fussed about selling Diouf or awb.
If the right offers arrive, then there sold, if not they won’t be.
contrary to media, since June, when Magassa tried to organise his own transfer, there have been no offers for this player at all.
Don’t take any notice of this fire sale nonsense, it’s totally ridiculous.
There’s a very clever billionaire in control now, not the nasty midget.
Sullivan could never have achieved the sales that have been made, he’s been made to look like the pompous fool he is, and he knows it.
13 Aug 2026 15:20:28
And, of course, Kretinsky has said that our players don't need to be sold. Whilst that might be partly to push prices up, just look at what he brought in for Fernandes and Summerville.
The man has a few bob. You don't get to be where he is without being a canny operator.
13 Aug 2026 15:34:59
Spot on, time to get people in now.
12 Aug 2026 18:26:53
Connor Barron dmdf Rangers, maybe if others depart, otherwise, why?
13 Aug 2026 08:36:24
Tell you what, Joyful, lots of serious interest now being shown in quite a few of our players. I hope to God we have replacements lined up.
12 Aug 2026 17:50:04
Fulham want to loan awb, fine say WH mandatory loan only plus loan fee, let’s see?
12 Aug 2026 18:29:24
Is that with a view to him playing for us again if we get promoted next year? Didn't think they would accept a loan without an obligation to be honest.
12 Aug 2026 18:42:11
Villa and others want to buy, Fulham want to loan AWB. No chance unless obligation and fee.
12 Aug 2026 16:15:56
WH do not want to loan Disasi at all. They have agreed 4 weeks back £20 m plus 5 m addons permanent sale. Palace are idling.
WH need to have a cut off point, if Disasi comes he’s been incentivised at normal wage from Chelsea at 78 k a week.
WH on promotion will give him a one million pound bonus equivalent to 100 k a week.
Disasi favours WH, what on earth is he waiting for?
12 Aug 2026 16:47:55
I think Palace have issues re UEFA PSR, which is holding them back, so I'm hopeful now he comes to WH.
12 Aug 2026 16:57:09
They have, but it's nothing to do with WH. Minds need to be made up, or stay at Chelsea, train on your own, waste of career.
12 Aug 2026 17:12:08
Surely that's a no brainier for Disasi, play where you absolutely shone and also loved.
12 Aug 2026 17:25:49
You would think so, who knows what people think.
12 Aug 2026 20:23:44
And he would still be a multi millionaire, what do they actually want. 🤷
12 Aug 2026 13:00:25
Alvarez, Ajax try again with 15 m Euro package bid, it’s about 9 m euros, strung out like a sausage string, and 6 m euros in addons, that are questionable in obtainment.
Don’t see this going down well.
12 Aug 2026 12:05:27
Last week WH approached Middlesbrough enquire if Morgan Whittaker was available, they were told no, but like everything else subject to what bid was made.
A fee of £25 m plus 5 m easy addons was quoted as minimum.
WH were maybe under the impression he was half that.
Why? On top of that, why would Boro at this stage want to sell to a rival?
WH should have gone in two months past, too close to kick off to deal like this, with Championship best clubs WH could have got him for around £10 m at window beginning.
12 Aug 2026 09:57:23
Brentford instead of making a bid are trying to feel WH out. They got a flat no last time. They are playing a different game now, asking at what price would WH feel comfortable to let Diouf go.
WH have asked £35 m plus £5 m addons, so Brentford can see with our past sales, there’s no point being silly, wasting their own time, or you would think so!
Looks like £30 m plus bottom line here, take it or leave it.
Tbh WH attitude is great, they are happy to keep the player or not same as awb.
This puts purchasers on the back foot, it’s a million miles from Sullivan. What a difference
12 Aug 2026 12:21:18
Jordan James to Wolves, whilst we still chase Engels!! Time to move on.
What happened to Sydie Peck and Hatate, who would probably cost £20m total?
12 Aug 2026 12:26:45
Mistake in the making here, is the feeling I'm getting.
12 Aug 2026 13:50:25
Classic West Ham. Keep chasing a player through sheer stubbornness whilst other players, equally as good, if not better, are bought by our rivals.
£30m going in for Engels? Jeeeeez, do we never learn. Wtf has this guy done in Scotland?
12 Aug 2026 17:17:28
Phill, re Engles. He's won the Premiership twice, won the Scottish Cup and League Cup, he has also been capped for Belgium and played in the Champions League. He's only 23 and will get better, and he's already a good player.
Sydie Peck is nowhere near as good, which is reflected in his value, and he's keeping Hatate out of the Celtic team. That's why we are still chasing him.
12 Aug 2026 17:29:22
Hatate is less than average, looks like he's off to Paderborn in Germany, player exchange 5 m euros.
This is a big gamble for a Championship side, hope you're right Robbo, I just don't like the last minute thing, just my view.
11 Aug 2026 17:24:03
On the ( very ) quiet WH having talks with Coventry over Haji Wright
He was the other original wanted striker, this is not about Coventry, who, at a price, will have a deal circa 20 m, maybe a bit less?
This is about the player who is in his last year of contract, maybe thinking play well in the Premier League, and walk away on a free transfer.
So there's the problem, this is why WH never went for him weeks ago.
11 Aug 2026 18:41:20
So would it be one or the other between Wright and Parrot?
11 Aug 2026 18:46:06
And include Isidor!!!
Seems Diouf may well be on his way shortly, followed by Magassa, and I'm sure AWB will be gone as well, which is getting a little worrying.
11 Aug 2026 19:08:04
Koppen likes Wright, but difficult. No bids for Magassa, only bid was in June by Monaco 7 m, no say from West Ham, nothing since.
AWB looks like West Ham could not care less whether they sell or not. Top bid Everton £15 m plus £4 m addons, no bids from Villa or Forest. Diouf, you know, Fulkrug. West Ham trying to get a deal before the window shuts, if not, more likely to let him go, tear up contract, save 2 years wages.
Todibo keeps disappearing. West Ham need to look at stopping paying his wages; he has refused to play, giving West Ham the legal grounds to hold his registration and refuse payment. That is where it is.
12 Aug 2026 07:41:56
Would be a good shout if we could get rid of Todibo and Fulkrug, who are nothing but trouble, instead of selling players we could use like Diouf and Magassa.
12 Aug 2026 09:28:41
Fulkrug and Todibo bring in no money, except wage gains, others bring money in.
11 Aug 2026 14:55:51
Further to Pablo.
Galatasaray are reportedly checking on Pablo Felipe as fresh uncertainty emerges around the West Ham United forward’s future.
Rumours from Turkey claim the Turkish champions are assessing the Brazilian, although there is no suggestion yet that an offer or formal talks have taken place.
