Any news on the rumour surrounding the Brazilian Ze Vitor who currently plays for Nacional in Portugal? This guy is being discussed by a few sources.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 14:21:45
There’s nothing on Agency at the moment in regard to this player,
WH are rummaging through, the clearance boxes at present
So who knows what they will come up with, anything.can happen
BUT times moving on now with teams playing today and tomorrow, whomever they go for, it needs to be quick
Any incoming players need to be in London by latest 1 pm Monday
Market shuts 7 pm
2.) 31 Jan 2026 16:30:30
Leaving it very late as always.
05 Jan 2026 15:29:04
Any truth in the rumours about Jayden Oosterwolde, the 24 yr old Dutch defender for Fenerbahce? I've seen his name mentioned in a couple of places. He cost the Turkish side £5 million a couple of years ago, but he's had trouble with his ACL in his knee. Looks like a real beast.
1.) 05 Jan 2026 16:56:34
WH went for him last season, but it never came off, leaders on this are .Newcastle
The attraction, again is he can play all across the back, and he would not be expensive
Down side is as you say, no good buying injuries
Would he pass a genuine medical
That’s the issue , I always think back to Zouma, who passed our medical ( he didn’t ) , played well for a while, then his career collapsed
Once bitten twice shy?
2.) 05 Jan 2026 18:02:06
Thanks mate. He looks the real deal — just what we need right now. However, his injury record is worrying.
3.) 05 Jan 2026 21:25:49
Apparently there are quite a few CBs we are looking at, Cresswell being the name that keeps getting pushed personally i think the others we are looking at are better options, Cresswell is good in the air but his ability on the ball is apparently questionable, do we really need another clumsy CB? If he already struggles in possession in ligue 1 how bad will it be in the prem?
4.) 06 Jan 2026 09:04:36
You are right Al, many CBS are being looked at, the one really wanted is Gabriel, from Lecce, he tops the list
Personally don’t see it, bigger clubs, with deeper pockets are on it, and with our current situation, unfortunately just don’t see it

Lots of rumours circulating that Brady is on her dancers before the New Year. If true, Sullivan may be hoping that her departure will satisfy the protests. NO!
1.) 11 Nov 2025 05:50:24
It would be a start but would be typical of Sullivan throwing someone under the bus. In the world of KB everything must be done to show her in a good light. So if she does move on I doubt it would be the sack. Also I just read on another site that she was responsible for organising the take over of Birmingham by Carson Yeung. How on earth can she say she did due diligence there.
2.) 11 Nov 2025 06:21:56
Pick em off one at a time if necessary. Sullivan loves being in the news, normally because of bad decisions, lies and BS. Now let's how he likes being in the news for the right reasons
21 Sep 2025 14:30:11
Joyfull,
Any rumblings of a board meeting? Surely, by now, something must be happening to discuss Potter and/or the fan protest. Nothing will happen without there first being a meeting of our shambles of a board.
1.) 21 Sep 2025 15:11:14
Unbelievable rumour that the board agree Potter has to go, but they don’t want the new manager to have the difficult away games against Everton and Arsenal as his first matches! What sort of circus act is this, if true?
2.) 21 Sep 2025 15:40:09
Omnishambles
3.) 21 Sep 2025 18:20:41
It’s madness. So let’s keep the crap guy as the new man might not win either of these first 2 games. We need the new man to have an easy one Brentford at home! We will be cut adrift by then
4.) 21 Sep 2025 20:45:07
Brentford at "home" is going to be just as tough as Everton. Especially when we lose our next two games and are sitting pretty at the bottom of the league.
06 Sep 2025 21:13:18
Rumours abound concerning Potter being replaced by Frank Lampard. Apparently he's happy at Coventry and it would have to be an extremely attractive package to tempt him to the London Stadium. Will we ever learn, if true? He failed at Chelsea and Everton, but he'll sprinkle some magic dust over his head if he comes to WHU.
1.) 07 Sep 2025 11:26:34
This was reported on Football Insider whicH I personally think is awful headlines to make you click onlh to find it either old rumours usually a year old or justvrinbish
2.) 07 Sep 2025 13:42:01
I heard it from several sources. I certainly hope it’s bollocks.
3.) 09 Sep 2025 03:04:20
Who are your sources?
4.) 09 Sep 2025 10:51:06
Much the same as most with a couple of exceptions who I will keep to myself.

Leeds beating Man United is the last thing we wanted. That victory may well reduce the drop contenders to just us, Spurs and Forest, depending on who keeps their nerve. This will go to the wire.
1.) 14 Apr 2026 08:56:07
Agreed, Leeds were very good. Man U were poor, not a result. We were expecting that, however, the reverse side of the coin is, a dozen games ago you couldn't imagine West Ham would have a chance to escape in their own hands, and the final game against Leeds they will probably be safe by then.
Long way to go, Joyfull.
2.) 14 Apr 2026 10:00:34
The hope now is, if Leeds are to pull away, then they have nothing to play for in the last game. We only need to end up above 1 of them.
3.) 14 Apr 2026 11:01:49
Didn't see that one coming at all. First win at OT for 45 years, and Leeds league form has been poor of late. ?
4.) 14 Apr 2026 11:48:13
Leeds were great, played with no fear and went for it. If they can win their FA Cup semi and are safe for the last game, it could work in our favour. It's still in our hands; we just need to be brave, like Leeds were last night.
5.) 14 Apr 2026 13:59:59
That's how we must approach the Palace game. We need something from every game. If we sit back, there will be punishment; they are safe and we cannot count on Spurs losing.
How many points do we need?
Pundits are split between 6/8/10. I think 8 will do the job: two wins, two draws. Won't be easy. Joyful.
6.) 16 Apr 2026 07:05:28
I reckon after looking at Spurs fixtures, two more wins should do it.
22 Mar 2026 14:50:18
Mavropanos is king! How good is he? The unsung hero of the West Ham defence. Long may he reign.
14 Mar 2026 22:12:43
That was a lesson in how to defend. Mavropanos was simply magnificent. Well played lads!
1.) 15 Mar 2026 11:16:34
It really was a team performance.
They have a good bond now.
2.) 15 Mar 2026 15:18:25
Defence was great, but we were really poor on the counter without Summerville. I lost count of the amount of times we lost the ball during transition, and there were hardly any runs in behind. Good point, but we need to do much better going forward.
3.) 15 Mar 2026 15:27:51
Robbo, you could tell from the get-go that he set the team up to simply get the 1 point, with maybe the outside chance of a breakaway goal late in the game.
I like the team spirit now, it's fantastic, but like you, I don't want to watch that each match, as we will only get draws. I would hope we will go back to 4-4-2 next week.
4.) 15 Mar 2026 16:07:33
Actually, Hammer, the tactics were OK against City, but the execution was poor going forward. There needs to be some threat going forward, as it's very difficult to defend for 90 mins. On any other night City would have punished us.
Luckily, we scored from a corner, or else we could have played for about 3 months and not scored from open play.
But, as I said, a decent point against a good side.
5.) 16 Mar 2026 12:28:21
Robbo, your points are well made. The importance of Summerville in the improvement of tactics and team spirit since the arrival of Paco Jemez cannot be underestimated. Also, the arrival of Taty has so far been positive. Apparently, Nuno alone could not get the best out of Summerville, as his resurgence coincided with Paco's arrival at WHU.
I believe it is Paco who is responsible for the change in the club's fortunes, but it is Nuno, as the figurehead, who is being credited. I don't think we will revert to a defensive formation once our attacking threat is fit again, as that is not Paco's style.
6.) 16 Mar 2026 14:45:17
Coupled with the over reliance on a disinterested, over rated player called Paqueta. Apparently, since he and Fulkrug both left, the difference in the dressing room has also been stark...
7.) 16 Mar 2026 15:28:30
I quite liked Paqueta, and he was probably the most talented player in the squad. I have to say, you are spot on, DH2, and you can see the team spirit now compared to then.
Fulkrug was always a dreadful purchase, but I think he was mates with Steidten, so they probably both did quite well out of that. Maybe Steidten means Silkman in German. ?
8.) 18 Mar 2026 14:11:19
I think the change in tactics, allowing more freedom to play a positive style, has more to do with the attitude than the change of one or two players. imo Paqueta wasn't allowed to play his natural game and Fulkrug was just injury prone.
I've been told by a good source that Paco handles the majority of training and sets the most tactical plans for games. This confirms my suspicions. Of course, I don't know how true it is, but it certainly makes sense.
9.) 18 Mar 2026 16:27:43
Paco has most certainly made a difference. Totally agree.
10.) 19 Mar 2026 09:48:50
Can't disagree with that, but I do feel it is a mix of things coming together that will hopefully get us out of the mire and maybe kick on. Getting rid of the board would be a godsend (depending on who buys), but sadly I don't see that yet.
10 Mar 2026 02:36:29
Well, that was a strange game. On balance, I thought we deserved the win, but they looked stronger than us for periods in the second half. Very worrying injury to Summerville. I hope it's not serious and does not keep him out of our Prem games because we need him. Leeds at home in the quarter final. Not a bad draw.
11 Feb 2026 10:22:52
Spuds sack Frank. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they try and lure Carrick away from Man Utd wiith the offer of a permanent contract. ?
1.) 11 Feb 2026 12:43:17
I’m thinking the timing of De Zerbies leaving Marseille might be more than a coincidence. But you could be right he did play for them
2.) 11 Feb 2026 15:21:22
I think Spurs are right in the poop! They have Arsenal next and with that squad of players and injuries whoever comes in has a big job on their hands. After tonights matches its likely that Spurs and Forest on 29 points will be the ones with the targets on their backs for us to aim at.
I genuinely think we can survive if we can get 16 points from the last 12 games
3.) 11 Feb 2026 17:14:10
What would be really funny is if spurs appoint redknapp as an interim and he fires them right up the table
4.) 11 Feb 2026 21:39:13
Or even funnier if he relegates them ?
02 Apr 2026 12:08:06
Any update, as nothing has materialised? Or was it just a load of smoke without fire?
05 Mar 2026 14:07:15
Afternoon, Dabber. I am an Areola fan, but I must say that those two saves Hermansen made last night were simply superb. Maybe he just needed confidence? He certainly looked a safe pair of hands. Well played, lad.
05 Mar 2026 07:20:30
Hermansen played a blinder last night.
26 Feb 2026 12:13:06
It's probably connected to the public release of the club's annual accounts. Allegedly, they are a disaster.
21 Feb 2026 15:40:33
Joyfull, Brady is the Vice-Chairman of the club and has a lot of influence on the board. She has a great deal to say on the business of the club, and she has the ear of the majority shareholder, so I can’t agree with you on her status in WHU.
Don’t forget, it was Brady who pressured Sullivan and the rest of the board to appoint the disaster that was Potter. If she goes, it will mean a major change in the day to day running of the club. Good riddance. It can’t happen fast enough for me.
28 Apr 2026 11:00:15
I'm going on gardening leave .....
28 Apr 2026 09:32:19
Paco Jemez. Very highly thought of.
{Ed001's Note - ah ok. Yeah, well liked but never got the breaks as a manager. I missed him joining West Ham sorry.}
28 Apr 2026 09:16:51
For the umpteenth and final time, I have not expressed an opinion that the current woes of these other clubs are the fault of Nuno. You are making an assumption that by my saying he hasn't a great legacy in the current Premiership, I believe he is the cause of their problems. Wrong. My point is not meant to "carry any weight"! This is a bloody internet banter forum, not the UN. You seem to totally ignore my belief that the sudden upturn in playing form and team spirit is more down to the arrival of a decent coach, Paco, than anything Nuno has done. I have heard on the grapevine that Paco has heavily influenced training, and has a positive input on tactics, but Nuno's defensive attitude has overriding influence during team selection and game management.
That is plainly obvious.
I've avoided suggesting you are thick, unlike you, but if the cap fits. And, if you think explaining a point in simple terms is being obtuse, then you need coaching in English grammar. We just differ on what is a good manager. As for Moyes - again we differ on his 'achievements'. You may think he's Mr Wonderful. I don't. I think he's Mr Overrated. And the European Conference League is a third rate competition for also rans in my opinion.
{Ed001's Note - is that Paco Ayesteran? If so, he is a fantastic coach and it was the downfall of Rafa at Liverpool that they fell out and he left. I would love him back working at LFC.}
28 Apr 2026 00:40:04
Just a thought - Nuno can't control what's already happened, but he does have an element of control over what is yet to happen.
28 Apr 2026 00:12:40
Sorry, Hammer, but I must correct you on one comment. I actually do not dislike Nuno. He's probably a very nice man. I don't like him either. I just think he's not the right manager for WHU, a club I actually love and have done from the age of 12. I don't think he has the necessary skills to make us a successful club, and it's possible he doesn't have the necessary skill to keep us in the Premiership.
Also, it works both ways on luck and VAR. I know there are instances where it's gone our way. That's life.
I've made it clear what I meant when I said Nuno has the controls and he could get it wrong. If he keeps going defensive and we keep losing, then I'm afraid there's no avoiding where the fault lies. The point is, and I think you agree, we shouldn't be in this position in the first place.
