I'm hearing that Vardy (Jamie, not the wife) could be on his way?
Surely not.
1.) 10 Aug 2026 10:45:02
Not the time to run backwards, thanks.
2.) 10 Aug 2026 10:57:13
He's supposedly a back up option if we fail to bring in Parrott and/or Isidor.
Personally, I think we should move on from Engels; he's too expensive, imo. Go for a cheaper option in Jordan James, and use the money saved to try to get both Parrott and Isidor, who can also play out wide, where I think we lack a bit of depth.
If Orford can develop quickly and do what he does at youth level, he will be a better player than Engels.
Then, hopefully, Disasi has come to his senses; if not, we go all in on Lawlor.
3.) 10 Aug 2026 11:09:16
Couldn't agree more, but then again, we use common sense!!!
£15m bid lodged for Parrott, what a joke.
4.) 10 Aug 2026 11:23:55
Would be happy with Disasi back, though Lawlor looks a serious player.
Do we have the money to bring in the players we need?
Time will tell.
5.) 10 Aug 2026 11:35:07
West Ham do have the money to deposit anybody they want, you know, by now the financial situation. West Ham have to consider fees, add-ons, a 33% uplift on purchases, and wages, then whether the player will help make the difference to gain promotion or not, and whether, if they make the Premier League, the player will be good enough to make the jump in class.
It's not as easy as some people assume.
West Ham are being as careful as possible. How many more Todibos and Fulkrugs do we need!
6.) 10 Aug 2026 11:46:51
I think this is why there are a few of us on here not getting overly stressed about the slow incomings progress. It's incredibly difficult to get this window's transfers right, and best left to the professionals.
06 Aug 2026 07:32:38
Joyful, have u heard anything on Kilman to Palace?
1.) 06 Aug 2026 08:40:10
I thought it was Disasi.
2.) 06 Aug 2026 09:10:35
Might be an old story, Kilman was fancied by Palace at one stage. At present, if we let Kilman go, someone has got to come in. I would be happy to see him off, depending on who's arriving.
03 Aug 2026 06:18:32
Joyful might have mentioned this before but we've been offered Bamba Dieng season long loan. Also now taking serious look at Manor Solomon (not great injury record), Troy Parrott and of course Engels.
Marseille losing Aguerd to Saudi so expect Tobido movement soon.
I reckon we will need 2 strikers, 3 midfielders, 2 cbs and depending on what happens with Diouf and AWB 2 full backs.
Could be a busy week.
1.) 03 Aug 2026 10:22:53
Needs to be, mate, whilst our needs are great, and with time closing down, looks to be a bit limited.
As of last night there are no agreements in place, no medical booked.
My gut feeling is 4 players, 2 before kick off, 2 before window shuts.
I just don't see a procession of players turning up, sincerely hope I'm wrong.
2.) 03 Aug 2026 10:52:55
It's a piss take. They soon had season tickets on sale!!!!
3.) 03 Aug 2026 11:23:41
Is Kretinski the new Sullivan without the shabby characteristics.
4.) 03 Aug 2026 12:56:03
No, he's a class act, problem being, he has an energy company that produces more profit in 12 months than West Ham is worth!
For him, it's a matter of choosing priorities, West Ham so far is a small investment, 1.4 % of his value, that's where it's at.
5.) 05 Aug 2026 02:00:08
I cannot believe without trying to sound argumentative that people are doubting DK and even putting him alongside the SEX PEST do you think wed have got what we did for MF and CS if sullivan was in charge still absolutely ? not he has come out and said he wants to pump money in which he already has but was weary of the dwarf apparently he is going to sell a small percentage of his shares so if he buys the gold shares now without doing this it would take him to over 50 % and I think that would mean as he owns this percentage he'd have to buy the over shareholders at a very inflated valuation of whufc if i'm wide of the mark please tell me Ed thanks.
⚒️⚒️⚒️?
6.) 05 Aug 2026 02:07:50
I'll tell you one person or family that are loving this fighting over the shares is Vanessa Gold but I think shes pissed off the wrong person in DK as I wouldn't to f with him he looks like a top level contract killer and don't get me wrong we all want what's best for one thing WHUFC and that's it ⚒️⚒️⚒️?
01 Aug 2026 16:32:30
Magdeburg game today showed we have no pace or quality and when we have the ball no target men up front.
We need 2 or 3 quality midfielders and at least 2 strikers with pace.
And I must admit, with 55 years as a West Ham fan through thick and thin. Nuno worries me.
I can't see a game plan where we want to dominate teams which we should be. He has such a negative approach to not losing rather than wanting to win.
And clearly, we need 5 or 6 signings and we need them Now!!! Not in 3 weeks, not at the end of the window, Now!!
1.) 01 Aug 2026 17:15:17
Absolutely. We were piss poor. I'm afraid our youngsters are just not up to scratch. Orford did nothing, lost the ball a lot, and looks lightweight. Scarles offers no threat. I like Kante, but he was bad today. Lamadrid was ok.
Zero pace in that team, especially if Diouf goes. Very worrying indeed.
2.) 01 Aug 2026 20:00:59
Yeah, not a fan of Nuno's tactics. I remember watching a video a while back on them, and I vaguely remember the person analysing his tactics, and it was about how he tries to control the game without the ball.
Said before I don't think 442 suits our players either. Pablo again not involved much; times where he could have taken a touch, laid it off, but decided to take 3 or 4 more, then has to go back. Honestly, think JWP might be quicker as we.
Lamadrid had quite a lot of the ball in good positions but didn't really do anything with it. I think Earthy, in the same situations, would have made better use of it, but he's barely been given a chance. Wouldn't be surprised if he's pushed to the door by Nuno despite not getting a real chance.
Kante I thought was good today, but he was awful against Rangers. Despite his size, he's not a defensive midfielder, more of an 8.
Orford, from what I can recall, only gave the ball away once. Other than that, he seemed to keep things simple and always made himself available for the pass.
With Potts looking likely to go, I think we are only left with one proper ball winner in there in Magassa, and he hasn't even played yet.
I fear at some point we will end up with JWP, Soucek and Pablo on the pitch at the same time. We assembled probably one of the slowest teams in the Prem; we might end up with one of the slowest in the Championship at this rate.
Any players we sign now I doubt will be starting in our first few games. Nuno will probably favour the players he's worked with in preseason, like how when he first came in and played the likes of Irving and Soucek in midfield for a couple games. Wasted points that could have kept us up. We have a tough start also.
30 Jul 2026 18:58:17
So Amanda Stavley and her consortium planning to buy gold shares.
This explains why we've bought nobody... really?
1.) 30 Jul 2026 20:03:41
Makes sense, I would guess that the consortium would also want to own the stadium & the area around it. That must be worth mega bucks (pun intended, as it's probably Americans).
Spurs wanted 2Bn so West Ham would be peanuts compared to that deal.
2.) 30 Jul 2026 20:13:22
One outlet is reporting she's close to a deal worth £150m. Kretinsky and the other shareholders must be in agreement, as they get first refusal on any shares that become available. Let's hope this doesn't take too long, as we need to put a team/squad together.
3.) 30 Jul 2026 20:18:30
I think it's linked to the Reuben brothers, who are UK citizens, I believe, and who had something to do with the building of the Olympic Park.
4.) 31 Jul 2026 00:29:56
Makes sense, Stavely, the face running and growing the club.
Kretinsky can take a back seat again.
Be interesting to find who this consortium is.

Very quiet on all fronts today.
1.) 09 Aug 2026 20:30:16
Lots of reports yesterday saying Soloman is done.
Parrott and Vipotnik were recently mentioned again as striker options, as well as the Sunderland lad.
The Celtic midfielder seems expensive, and there are doubts about his inventive skills and passing.
We need to explore elsewhere.
Which departures are we still expecting? AWB, Fullkrug (hopefully!), Todibo (irrevocable breakdown with Nuno), Cornet (not much chance of that), Alvarez (maybe he stays).
May we live in interesting times.
2.) 09 Aug 2026 21:00:51
Mate, I can't even tell you how many different people are saying a deal is done with Parrott, so I dunno; all of them saying £30m. So I dunno what Joyful knows or doesn't want to say about it, but if he's in the know just say.
Why wait until "after the window"? There's nothing that we can do about it, and chances are, if he isn't coming, it's probs down to West Ham shafting him in some way. Just don't get it personally, no disrespect or anything meant by it.
3.) 09 Aug 2026 21:13:14
If Parrott and Vipotnik come, do you think we will also keep Tatty? I hope so. I know he doesn't play as a forward, although that is where most of our goals are coming from.
I'm not quite sure what you are asking, Whitby. Surely we will know long before the window closes if he is coming, as that is 3 weeks away.
4.) 09 Aug 2026 21:23:15
SSN are now reporting we are "exploring" a deal for Reiss Nelson.
5.) 10 Aug 2026 07:12:53
Hammer D, every time we've mentioned Troy Parrott, Joyfull has said, 'I will tell you something when the window is closed.' All I'm saying is just tell us now, as there are boat loads of rumours about the lad coming to us. I think I just want news; it's getting frustrating.
6.) 10 Aug 2026 10:43:23
Righto mate, sorry I didn't realise he'd said that.
08 Aug 2026 15:55:28
Wow this is exciting. ? We should be all over mighty Portsmouth.
1-0 to mighty Portsmouth. Should've taken wife shopping.
Amazing we go behind and then we wake up.
07 Aug 2026 14:06:44
Nuno on future incomings:
"We don't have much time, but we don't want to make mistakes. It's crucial the players who come in are right. We are taking our time to make sure we get it right."
"We know the profiles and the names, so we let the Club do their jobs."
04 Aug 2026 08:19:26
Why are we so set on chasing Engels?
If Celtic wish to hold out for £25m then there must come a point where Gus Hamer at £5m to £10m becomes a lot more appealing, and Sydie Peck at £10m surely.
Also just heard we are in talks with Burnley for Broja and using Scarles as a make weight!!! This has to be an April fool joke coming late???
1.) 04 Aug 2026 08:50:33
I hope not, Broja has never scored goals at any level. Awful player, another clogger to add to the rest of them, we already have.
2.) 04 Aug 2026 09:17:51
Mac, you are very good at spending other people's money.
I would wager you are the guy who won't spend the extra £1 of his own money in Sainsbury's to get the Fox's Bisquits, and sticks the regular ones in the trolley, but is happy to overpay millions for Sydie Peck.
3.) 04 Aug 2026 09:50:52
Broke nooooooo.
We have been down this road many a time. Many here really wanted him, but as Robbo said, he failed at every level, can't even get in the Burnley side. Scarles hasn't been too good of late, but he has shown real ability before, so he should be capable.
4.) 04 Aug 2026 09:56:49
I have to say selling Potts for 10m then buying Peck for 10m doesn't make much sense, Mac. We have to believe there is a bigger strategy being played out behind the scenes. The power tussle won't be helping matters, but it only helps Stavelys consortium if we stayed down, all the other shareholders will want promotion.
We have 4 weeks yet and bought Fernandes at the last minute last year and he integrated fine. Keep the faith, matey.
5.) 04 Aug 2026 16:20:47
As I said, I'm mainly concerned about the team on the pitch. The fact this is obviously dictating transfer policy at the moment is the reason I brought it up. The concern from myself is, if we are not signing anyone because of this, then we won't sign anyone, as the window will be closed by the time it's sorted.
04 Aug 2026 08:13:18
Wrexham signed Preston captain for £3m and this is why its good to have knowledge of the players in the league your in.
1.) 04 Aug 2026 09:14:21
What do you know of this player? You must know something to be banging the drum. I personally have seen very little to suggest we should be signing this player.
2.) 04 Aug 2026 09:18:40
Yeah, and it's a bloody big drum. Wanna try it!!!!
3.) 04 Aug 2026 12:29:55
So back to the original question, what do you know of this player? You've chosen to ignore it so my spidey senses are telling me you know nothing!
Deja-vu, this sounds like when you really liked the business Wrexham had done, which at the time of posting was zero.
10 Aug 2026 14:17:29
Time we move on to other players, God's sake. Plenty of midfielders out there for a damn sight less than £25m.
What has this guy done to warrant that price? Christ, I could score in Scotland (and I actually have lol ? ? ?).
10 Aug 2026 11:09:16
Couldn't agree more, but then again, we use common sense!!!
£15m bid lodged for Parrott, what a joke.
08 Aug 2026 19:48:31
I don't know what the fuss is about. Yeah, he has had injuries, but how many more players have?
We need players, full stop, as our squad is short. The more the merrier.
08 Aug 2026 19:46:37
Butlins want some staff I hear lol. ? ? ?
08 Aug 2026 10:43:28
Joyful? Rumours circulating that 11 hours ago, West Ham completed the move for Zan Vipotnik ahead of Southampton for a fee reported to be £21m, which could rise to £23m.
Sky blue (Coventry forum started this ball rolling).
09 Aug 2026 11:35:26
Am sure we could get Jordan James and Hatate for the £25m, Engels will cost.
Bit of common sense needed here.
08 Aug 2026 20:32:38
How many goals do we think Taty will get this season?
07 Aug 2026 19:22:27
Definitely. Can't believe we didn't sell him.
07 Aug 2026 16:50:20
Agreed, Hammer. We can't just sit back like we did in the Premier League.
07 Aug 2026 16:47:31
Well said, Joyful. I'm a chimney sweep if anybody interested lol. ? ? ?
