West Ham Rumours Mobile

14 Aug 2026 09:44:07
I keep reading about Troy Parrot and his name just keeps me going back to my youth and Stingray - sorry can't help it.

14 Aug 2026 09:34:39
What’s bothering me now, midfield looks ok now, with new addition
Defence right side ok, left side will need someone when Diouf goes.
Cb, this is Kilmans level, but Disasi back is needed

We need strikers, two really. Forget Pablo, this is why, this league 75/95 goals will be needed for promotion

I would expect Taty and Bowen to get 20 each, Soloman perhaps 10, midfield and defence 10 between them.

Where are other goals coming from?


Answer: strikers we haven't got! Bowen and Taty will be wrung out after 20 games; they will miss a few games here and there. Must have others. One may not be enough


This must be sorted

Mayers looked capable last year, perhaps our 2nd lb is already in house.

14 Aug 2026 10:47:25
West Ham need to make up their mind, do they want promotion or not? If they do, they need the players to do it.

14 Aug 2026 10:50:44
The ownership issue with Stavley has put a spanner in the works.

imo, I don't see many ££ transfer purchases, possibly a few loans to the maximum we can have.

14 Aug 2026 11:09:14
No spanner, just a nuisance. West Ham is being run properly for the first time in decades.

14 Aug 2026 12:37:34
How many millions have been wasted, not just by us, but by multiple clubs continually churning through players who haven't worked out? And, how much of this is driven by fans insisting the clubs spend those millions every transfer window? Most of this is driven by agents and agencies. The only people who benefit from this churn.

14 Aug 2026 14:31:14
That was WH, doing their best now to turn it around. If Kretinsky stays in charge, it will happen. Under Sullivan, nothing like this would ever happen.

14 Aug 2026 08:33:52
WH need to be careful not get sucked back in with Reiss Nelson, chap money, very cheap, but why?

Because he’s very injury prone, Arsenal want to get shot of him, to save his wages, and not let him leave on a free season's end, although it’s peanuts to them.



If you want to take a chance, take the loan for the season, pay his wages. No good, let him go at the end of season. If he’s good, negotiate, give him a contract, risk limited.

14 Aug 2026 06:37:29
If Engels is in then it would be great to get Disasi, Parrot and Vardy. I say Vardy because I think he could come on and do a job. He’s probably still quicker than some strikers out there. He would also be good in the dressing room with the experience he has.

Don’t get me wrong. Tatty and Parrot would be the main strikers. But having someone like Vardy to come if necessary could only be a good thing. Please don’t shoot me down; it’s just my opinion.

14 Aug 2026 10:22:00
Vardy not quick, you're talking 10/15 years ago. Obviously a season at WH won't do much harm, but people of his age, not for me.

14 Aug 2026 10:51:02
Stevie, I'm with you about Vardy. We can't be bloody fussy. As you say, bags of experience, dedicated, should be another Bowen great influence on the younger ones. 🤞🤞⚒⚒⚒

14 Aug 2026 11:00:40
Joyful, I think Vardy is quicker than some of the strikers we've had: Yarmolenko, Haller, Scamacca, Fullkrug, and I would have him over Pablo as well. 🤷

14 Aug 2026 11:10:01
I'd have anybody over Pablo.

14 Aug 2026 11:19:55
Vardy main. Asset was his speed. That's gone, if WH were to give him a pay and play season that's different.

There's no player approaching forty years of age that I would give a contract to at this level.

Out in Florida or Saudi it's slower, less physical, different game, not championship level. Sorry, people, not for me.

13 Aug 2026 22:31:25
Engels done, according to Ex.

14 Aug 2026 07:33:09
£22m just waiting for medical. Papers need to be submitted by lunchtime today, if he is to play on Sunday.

Seemingly a deal for Parrott "pretty boy, pretty boy" isn't far off.

14 Aug 2026 09:49:57
SSN reporting Engels deal agreed now, 3 decent signings so far, squad looks much better. Be interesting to see who still leaves.

14 Aug 2026 10:10:46
Diouf, awb look certain exits. Maybe Magassa (no bids as yet). Maybe that's it.

13 Aug 2026 21:04:50
Apparently Sunderland have had a £40m bid for Diouf turned down. I've read we're valuing him at £50m.

Madness, or hard-nosed business?

13 Aug 2026 20:58:14
Am I reading right? We've rejected £40m bid from Sunderland for Diouf and slapped £50m price tag on him?

This can't be true surely?

Also Villa chasing AWB and Marseille want Tobido and numerous clubs want Magassa?

We gonna have nobody left at this rate.

14 Aug 2026 09:52:32.
Kretinsky is number one clever. He wants to create a bidding war between Brentford and Sunderland.

Bees came up with an elastic deal, not enough up front. Sunderland deal was better, but strung out.

Both clubs turned down on terms, not price, in the beginning. Now it's up to them.

13 Aug 2026 16:27:34
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.

13 Aug 2026 18:50:10
No more news on Troy Parrots...... "Who's a pretty boy" lol. 😆 😂 🤣

13 Aug 2026 18:59:06
Macaw blimey! I'm amazed.

13 Aug 2026 20:17:35
Toucan play at that game.

13 Aug 2026 20:55:43
Yayyy come on everybody get the puns out lol. 😆 😂 🤣

13 Aug 2026 21:01:00
Not me. Looking from pun to pun will get me a Wryneck.

13 Aug 2026 15:39:59
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.
