West Ham Transfer Rumours

17 May 2026 19:35:14
Really disappointing, story of the season. It takes us to go a goal or 2 down before we react. Terrible at the back, relegation looks certain now, but take 2 or 3 players out and most of them don't look like they care anyway.

This is going to be a long way back and eont be easy. Finances were apparently a problem anyway so it's not like a ton of cash will be available now. Time for the young uns to step up next year.

17 May 2026 22:28:49
Man Utd fan here, in peace. I am saddened by your club's situation. You have always been known for producing good players and attractive football.

Your owners have sold you down the river. There is no clear strategy, and there has been poor recruitment. In many ways, it's like Man Utd. The difference probably only being that we have the financial resources and history to attract good players.

All that said, like at Man Utd, ultimately the players on the pitch need to do the business.

When you played us at your place, I was there, and your team was up for it and fought for every ball. If they had played like that in these past three matches, you would have survived.

If you do go down, you will likely lose your best players, but I hope it means you blood some of your youngsters and buy players who play for the shirt. It may also be the catalyst you need to get proper owners in.

Good luck.

17 May 2026 22:48:29
Let's be honest, it was ridiculous to start a back 3 today, and midfield was appalling. Wilson is an impact player at best, whereas Taty works his socks off up front. All Nuno's fault for that defeat today; set up negative, and only when Taty got on did we look capable of doing something.


Still not over, but can I really see us beating Leeds next week? Players have to want to fight, and I don't think we have 11 of those in the team.

18 May 2026 08:59:09
Thank you for the comments, Man U. They were absolutely bob on. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for Sullivan.

Bobby, totally agree, just my opinion, but only Mavrapanos, Disasi and Taty tried yesterday (and Pablo has limitations but has worked hard since his arrival).

The rest of them looked like they didn't care. I'm sure Bowen does, but he has not been right for a few months now and looks like his mind isn't on it...

18 May 2026 09:47:37
Can't argue with any of these comments. Thanks for the words of encouragement Clyde Best you are right we have been sold down the river by our board. Sully has to go and also Kretinsky as he has just stood by and watched this happen when he could at least stepped in to lend the club some money for a few more attacking players in the summer or January windows. Until these blood-suckers go I think our demise will continue.

I think if ever a game could encapsulate a manger's overall faults then yesterday was it. All the things that many on here have accused Nuno of came to the front. Setting the team up too defensively when we need to attack. As Bobby said playing 3 at the back was a disaster and not only that but changing the back 3s normal positions in that system.

Thinking he can perform some sort of master stroke by doing this. A reminder of Scarles playing as a right back and the Souchek / Irving experiment. As Robbo says we have to start playing once the damage is done. He has done a few decent things like sorting out our defence and midfield but that is a bit of a waste of time as most if not all of those players will now leave.

All I can say is the the people who have been critical of Nuno were spot on and I was sadly deluded. He needs to go at the end of the season even if a miracle happens and we stay up.
Save the new manager hopes for another time as we need new buyers and they need to be a decent outfit who are professional and don't use the club as a personal cash cow.

18 May 2026 11:12:02
Morning HD, hope you're well, mate. I've been very mixed in my opinion of Nuno, incredibly underwhelmed when he was appointed, underwhelmed in his first few months, and then pleasantly surprised when he appointed Paco, as between them they turned it round. I think yesterday he got it badly wrong, playing a system that worked against City and, to a lesser degree, against Brighton and Arsenal, in a match when attack needed to take precedent. I think he bottled it, and the pressure, coupled with some players who could care less (Todibo, prime example, smirking as he was replaced after only 25 minutes), has hurt us when we needed clarity and unity.

Big summer of wholesale changes, from top to bottom, clearing out deadwood. I will miss Bowen, who is and will always be a WH legend, and Fernandes, who has been a breath of fresh air, particularly in the 2nd half of the season. But as for the rest, players come and go, and those who don't value playing for the shirt, do one!

18 May 2026 15:17:00
Hey, Dabber, I'm not too bad, thanks, mate. Hope you are well. Very much similar sentiments from me too. I really hope Sullivan and the rest of his family sell the club and don't come near us again, as long as he doesn't sell to Carson Yeong or someone of that ilk. A complete reset of everything to do with West Ham is needed. I think, before yesterday's game, I would have preferred Nuno to leave at season's end, but after yesterday, I just want him to go.

As we have said before, it would be interesting if Paco would be interested in going it alone. I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do. There will be a few names thrown in the hat, but I personally don't want to see the likes of Dyche or Scott Parker (great player) anywhere near us. But with Sulivan choosing, that is more than likely who we will end up with. It's all a bit depressing. ☹️

18 May 2026 15:19:31
PS I would add Mavropanos, Disasi, and Summerville to your list of players we will miss.

18 May 2026 20:36:14
Evening mate, I think Mav has been great recently, but he was very nervous yesterday and set the tone a little bit. Disasi has been great, and I'd love him to stay. He threw himself around again yesterday, but he's playing for his future away from us.

Summerville, I've loved watching, but he's hit and miss with his end product. I actually think Taty (if he stays) and Pablo might have a field day in the Championship.

18 May 2026 20:54:18
I honestly believe that Spurs will struggle to get another point. I just do not see us winning in the last couple of games. I agree that Pablo and Taty have performed and put up a fight, but I do not see much in the rest of the team.

I would like to see Kante given 90 minutes, along with Potts, as we all like to see workrate. Let's hope Chelski do us a favour, and then the players can turn up on Sunday to give us a fighting chance. COYI.

18 May 2026 22:14:16
I hope you are right, Bobby, but just can't see them losing the next 2. I think, regardless of relegation or not, the result yesterday has strengthened everyone's resolve to have a complete reset, and that has to start at the top.

03 May 2026 22:41:53
Personally, I think we’re now done. I believe Spurs and Forest will get 42 points and we’ll get 40. Lincoln, here we come.

04 May 2026 09:14:05
I'm afraid I have to agree. Too many times we've had the opportunity to pull away from the bottom, and, through inconsistent form, poor tactics and player selections, we've shot ourselves in the foot.

On the upside, Sullivan might now walk.

04 May 2026 10:51:58
Lot more than that, Mac. Buying players like Pablo, for a start. We don't score enough goals. If you can't score, it's relegation.

Poor squad, can't compete on a regular basis in this league.

Putting Potter in place instead of Allegri - 14 points in 21 games.

Not one reason, multiple reasons, lots of different paths have taken us to this point.




Brady's vanished, how is that for timing?

Spurs play Villa reserves, it's just going against us.

Saturday afternoon, I knew this was going to happen. Can't say we didn't have the chances.

We deserved a draw, no question, got nothing, that's how it is.

04 May 2026 11:37:27
We will end up like Birmingham now. There was no money available without selling. If we had stayed up, it'll be even worse now. I can see us not coming straight back up.

Poor recruitment in players and managers has led to this, and there's only one person to blame, and he's not going anywhere soon. Now the value of the club will be halved.

04 May 2026 13:19:27
Daniel Kretinsky is, or soon will be, the main man at West Ham. Sullivan is slowly but surely leaving. No chance Brady walks if he's hanging around.

04 May 2026 16:58:43
Is Daniel Kretinsky any better? For sure, he has been less meddling and more professional than the shoddy pair called BS. But he is culpable, as he has invested none of his own money into the club to help us out. At least Trip Smith. Kretinsky will just be looking to take money, not invest.

04 May 2026 17:17:28
At least Tripp Smith did invest his own money and didn't charge the club interest.

28 Apr 2026 09:47:35
Misleading info being posted on main site, JWP, has been offered or stay on at Burnley, to play in Championship. His current contract expiring next year, pays 115 k a week at WH. If we drop his salary it is then halved, Burnley will pay him a little less at 46k a week

WH are keen to move him on irregardless.



However if we stay up, it is expected he will return, sit on the bench for his much larger wage, and leave at next season's end as a free agent.

The same albeit similar problem, will be ongoing with Cornet, and Fulkrug, plus possibly one or two others.

29 Apr 2026 14:26:45
Think, unfortunately, the only way to move these players on will be to subsidise their wages and take a nominal fee.
Jwp, Cornet, Fullkrug, Kilman, to name a few.

29 Apr 2026 15:40:55
I see Kilman becoming a major problem owing to the length of his contract, which is frankly ridiculous, we are not Chelsea.

The others, including Alvarez, have reasonable solutions, Kilman doesn't.

01 May 2026 18:30:07
There were rumours Crystal Palace wanted him in Jan, as they believe he is more suited to a back 3, which is what they play. But, with the manager change there, who knows if that interest will be there in the summer.

03 May 2026 22:53:01
When we're relegated, Bowen, Fernandes, AWB, Mavro, Disasi, Summerville, Todibo, Taty, Diouf, Ariola will all leave. Therefore, players like Kilman, JWP, Pablo and even Cornet will need to be kept. They'll probably do well in the Championship. Soucek, Traore, Wilson, Mads, Scarles, Potts will stay for game time.
Get ready for many, many sales shortly.

26 Apr 2026 11:56:48
Apparently Amanda Staveley is putting together a team for a West Ham takeover. 🤷

26 Apr 2026 14:06:15
All depending on if we stay in the Premier League, apparently. I wonder, if they do takeover, would they invest in a new ground?

26 Apr 2026 20:20:58
Can't see anyone wanting a new ground after a takeover, we don't pay much for the OS, new training facilities would be good though.

05 Apr 2026 12:05:16
Getting ready for the game. Carpenters Arms is rocking already. 3-1 win today. Commmmmmme onnnnnn!

05 Apr 2026 16:19:13
Hoping you're right. Not the team I was expecting, tbh. Can understand why, but Mavrapanos, w biss, Todibo, Summerville missing. Let's see. Legs crossed, joyful.

30 Mar 2026 09:48:04
Because of our precarious position, I decided to temporarily stop posting, about WH thoughts for next season
As there's a massive difference, between, the two leagues financially
What's become apparent, however, is that free agents, are becoming more than attractive to WH, given their financial state., which will continue, wether we survive or not
Julian BRANDT, of Dortmund mdf, has spoken to the club, along with 3 other premier clubs
I heard that, Mr Sullivan, has just. sold some holdings, privately of course, at a Big loss, maybe not much for him, but liquidity was required, so its becoming clear that at the present time, and set up He alone will not be putting up the, £120 m required to level up, the clubs needs, neither will Vanessa Gold, their family, does not want to invest further,
This leaves only Kretinsky, the sum involved for him is small, it's just wether or not he wants it

Rights issue, maybe? Savage player sales maybe? IN truth WH can't afford to be relegated!

12 Mar 2026 11:40:31
Not sure if the right place for this but to address a couple of things. The board crumbling could be in reference to a potential TV programme that can now be broadcast due to certain restrictions now being lifted. It’s all out there if you search hard enough. If broadcast then there would be major ramifications at board level and there would have to be a change.

It also leans into why Brady was rumoured to be leaving. Nothing to do with accounts, more to do with what’s coming and distancing herself.

Also, complete rumour I’ve heard is that Phillip Beard and PAI are back with an eye on a full takeover, starting with the Gold shares.

12 Mar 2026 14:17:51
Hi Peter, seen that a some time ago, the whole thing revolves around Sullivan. It’s like the song, should I stay or should I go now.

If we are relegated, I’m sure there will be offers for the club, albeit at a hugely discounted price.

Sullivan is having a bad time in his property holdings, which may force his hand somewhat.

If we manage to stay up, there’s no way Sullivan will get anything like his valuation for the club.



Vanessa Gold hawked her shares everywhere. It’s believed the best offer she had was £175 m from an American hedge fund.

The multiplication of that values the club at £700 m, perhaps £800 m. That’s it, so it’s unlikely anyone’s offering more than that.

We need a change at the top, but owing to financial restrictions for whomever comes in, it will be no easy task making big changes at West Ham.

12 Mar 2026 20:29:42
Thanks, Peter. 👍

12 Mar 2026 22:00:55
I see the FAB minutes were released tonight and Brady conveniently left the room before the question was asked about rumours in the Sun newspaper. Under AOB is the question (earlier on it states Brady leaving the room at 8pm).

FAB Minutes

13 Mar 2026 14:42:05
Hi Peter, do you have any idea what this potential TV program is or was to be called? Obviously, don't say if it could have ramifications.

Still, I am struggling to find out the exact nature of this alleged bombshell. Other sites have touched on it, but are still very cryptic.

I am not spending much time trawling through the net. My guess is it's not financially linked, and maybe another type of scandal? And, apart from money, there are not many other types of scandal.

13 Mar 2026 21:51:54
It's got zero to do with money, and can't really go into any other detail, to be honest. Try Twitter? The programme is a well-known documentary series that has been around for years.

It couldn't get released until recent events had occurred. Mind you, I expected it to be released by now. That's all I can really say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.

14 Mar 2026 15:58:27
Cheers Peter, maybe I will have a look on Twitter, but I tend to avoid that pit of vipers.

14 Mar 2026 18:50:02
I agree, mate.

15 Mar 2026 06:04:05
Thankfully no need now. When at the game last night, during the "sack the board" singing, a few fellas started singing something else which virtually explained the possible allegations. After you said it was not linked to money, it only left one probable type of rumour, which it was.

My neighbour in the ground put a bit more meat on the bones. All quite grubby! Thanks for the heads up, I suppose it's a case of watch this space.

15 Mar 2026 10:26:10
I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before we have a change at the top.

23 Mar 2026 06:31:34
It's strongly rumoured that Sullivan and Brady have fallen out with Vanessa Gold, which may well tie in with the increasing rumours that Kretinsky wants the majority stake.

02 Apr 2026 12:08:06
Any update, as nothing has materialised? Or was it just a load of smoke without fire?

05 Apr 2026 22:29:12
Hammer 7580, I believe Danial Kretinski could already buy out Sullivan. So why doesn't he? Whilst he is not such a vile and despicable individual as Sullivan is, he is equally useless in putting in money to help with our issues. He hasn't put money into Sparta Prague or so I understand it.

30 Apr 2026 18:45:33
Sullivan's days as a football owner are close to ending imo.

12 Mar 2026 08:30:04
Taras Mykhavko, Defender. Dynamo Kiev is on the radar of Wh, but many others are watching

Mateus Fernandes! Although much has been made of interest coming from Man Utd, which is true, it is in fact Arsenal, who are now asking for first refusal, both clubs from Milan, have also enquired

Joyfull.

12 Mar 2026 12:09:11
I think Mateus Fernandes will play for a big Champions League team eventually. It would be great to keep him another year or so, but that would depend on staying up. I see him going to City to replace Bernardo Silva, tbh.

14 Mar 2026 19:26:31
Why would we give anyone first refusual? He has more to his game than what Rice did at his age. I wouldn't sell him for anything less than a 100m unfortunately the drawf will likely do anything to avoid investing his own money.

We don't need another rebuild, hold on to what we've got and a couple of smart signings and we have a team capable of finishing top 10 maybe Europe.

10 Mar 2026 20:20:29
Matt Selz Forest G k. Will leave Forest if they are relegated?

WH if they survive, will be interested.

10 Mar 2026 22:50:12
I'm just glad we didn't get Kinsky after his performance for Spurs tonight, we don't need another keeper, the two we've got are doing ok.

11 Mar 2026 09:24:24
Problem being that Areola wants to be number one.
This is a problem if we manage to stay up.

If we go down, it's likely Hermansen stays, Areola goes, but it is impossible to forecast.

Joyful.

10 Mar 2026 17:54:26
Cesare Cassadeii, former Chelsea, bomb squad member, purchased by Torino, last summer for £13 m MDF. Now under review by WH.

Should WH survive, they may be looking to make a bid. Chelsea hold a 25% sell on clause.

Joyfull.

30 Apr 2026 18:51:01
Areola is a far better keeper than Hermanson, imo. His reach is far greater, and anything crossed into the box hes glued to his line. The place goal that was disallowed, he panicked and made no attempt to go for the ball.

He terrifies me on corners, he has no presence and looks tiny compared to Areola, but its all about opinions. I can see him costing us our status in the Premier League. ⚒️ 🫧 🫧 ⚒️

10 Mar 2026 12:00:05
Two clubs, Villa and Napoli, have asked Wh for the equivalent of first refusal, I (whatever that means) if they decide to sell Summerville.


Joyfull.

08 Mar 2026 10:11:56
WH. Premier League list, for new players, A further three names have come to light, should, we be successful, in staying up.

Marcus Tavernier, Ibrahim Sangare, Troy Parrott, are now added to that list

Joyfull.

09 Mar 2026 23:13:33
Troy Parrott all day long. It's my mate's cousin, he's bagged on about him for a few years now.

25 Feb 2026 17:41:58
Has anyone heard any rumours regarding the board about to crumble? I watched a video on another site and they were quite guarded about what they were saying. Rightly so as if the info would be false then I imagine the club could take legal action. So I wouldn't expect anyone to put their neck on the line or say anything that could cause this website issues.

But what they would say is that in the next couple of weeks the whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down. I just wondered if others had heard anything similar or if they knew if there was any thrush in these rumours

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.

27 Feb 2026 15:41:43
I thought they were due to be published today, which I've heard are a disaster. But also read that Brady is not leaving, so probably yet more false nonsense generated to get the hopes up.

27 Feb 2026 17:29:11
She's leaving.

01 Mar 2026 05:42:13
Why have we got Hermansson in goal? It's clear Areola has upset turkey teeth.

01 Mar 2026 16:11:37
Ewell56, Yes, why did we have Hermansson in goal? Areola is far superior, imo, despite what other posters think on here! Nuno bloody baffles me. I don't rate him at all, and I'm glad to see the back of him when & if he eventually goes.

Everything crossed for Wednesday. Chance of some point(s) there to catch up on Forest, who are away to City. Hopefully not much for Forest there, so 3 points could see us out of the bottom 3. 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 Coyi ⚒ ⚒ ⚒ ⚒

05 Mar 2026 07:20:30
Hermansen played a blinder last night.

05 Mar 2026 10:47:03
I think everyone was convinced we were going down a couple of months ago. At least there is some hope now.

05 Mar 2026 11:26:16
Morning, TL. He played really well, and is certainly a more calming influence on the defence. He was the only one to keep a clean sheet as well.

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 17:12:28

He's a possibility whether we stay up or take the drop.
