West Ham Transfer Rumours

22 Jul 2026 17:54:14
Koppen in talks with Nuno, re a possible bid for Rangers Cb John Soutar.

22 Jul 2026 15:48:29
Thomas Chory, tbh never heard of him, obviously this is driven by Kretinsky

Cheap purchase, who knows? He’s 6 ft 6 ins. If he scores goals, that’s what we need. Pablo couldn’t hit a bar door with a banjo.

22 Jul 2026 16:32:14
Joyful, I think we all get the picture that you don't like Pablo, mate. Maybe we should look at how he performs at the lower level first? Nobody wants egg on their face...

22 Jul 2026 16:59:12
Am I alone in that theory? If he was a player, why are West Ham looking for forwards? They have Fulkrug doing nothing. Why are they looking?

22 Jul 2026 17:08:10
Dabber, from what we saw last year, he doesn't get into goalscoring positions, can't shoot, can't head a ball, can't pass, can't dribble, and just runs around a lot like a headless chicken.

I wouldn't trust going into a season relying on him. Personally, I think Nuno should've been sacked for signing him on its own. It was an obvious signing of his mate's son, who is clearly inept.

22 Jul 2026 17:22:59
Joyful/Robbo, I value your opinions, but I don't necessarily agree. He works hard and had some lovely touches. He also found the net in a lower-level league and was put under pressure as a young lad (ignore the beard, he's little more than a kid) by joining a team in a relegation battle in January.

Just give him a chance! As for sacking the manager on that purchase alone, I'd rather point a finger at the people who wasted the Declan Rice money on JWP, Cornet, Kilman, Fulkrug and, to a lesser degree, Alvarez.

22 Jul 2026 17:25:53
And Joyful, as you say, Fulkrug doesn't want to be there! You are certainly not on your own, but I've put a post on banter highlighting why I don't think everything is as doom and gloom as is being made out.

22 Jul 2026 17:50:39
Not a question of doom and gloom. You obviously see a player in Pablo, equally most on here don't think so.

Next season we will find out. It's a lower level, so he should score many goals. If you're right, I will apologise on here. I say he's below average, and have seen nothing so far to change that opinion. Sorry.

22 Jul 2026 18:32:38
No need to apologise, mate. We all have opinions. It's nothing personal.

22 Jul 2026 19:22:20
He scored plenty in Portugal. The question is: to what extent is the Championship a better league than the Portuguese one?

22 Jul 2026 19:28:52
Markro, The Championship is a lot more physical than the Portuguese league, with players getting a lot less time as the tempo is a lot higher and more frantic.

Not better but different. Would you rely on him and be happy if we didn't sign another striker?

22 Jul 2026 14:23:28
Why not make an enquiry for Harvey Elliot? I know it means dropping down to the Championship, but at least he will play football unlike his loan spell at Villa. He could really shine in the Championship and get his career back on track.

It wouldn’t hurt to try and get decent players at prem teams that are not getting game time. Why not play for a team that is favourite for promotion than maybe go to a team that could be fighting relegation. Just a thought. 🤷

22 Jul 2026 15:57:21
Depends on how ambitious WH want to be. A little over three weeks to go, nothing as yet.

22 Jul 2026 16:33:18
Mentioned this last week, Stevie, and totally agree with you, mate. Maybe a loan with an option could suffice.

22 Jul 2026 10:20:31
Koppen awaits permission to make bid for Sorba Thomas at Stoke, WH looking at £15 m, they know anything less will get a knock back. Their assumption is probably right, ideal left winger.

22 Jul 2026 09:05:40
Kevin Danois Cm Auxerre French under 21. Being pursued now, no way this is a budget buy, Bournemouth have had £13. M. Euro bid knocked back.

22 Jul 2026 09:28:32
Hull, Newcastle, and Palace have all been linked to him as well.

22 Jul 2026 10:14:59
At present, none of those are pushing hard. There's an opportunity for WH here. It's not a case of money, maybe 18 m euro?

WH can pay good wages, only Newcastle could pay more, but couldn't guarantee playing time.

It's the Championship, whether they can convince people to come, it's not proving successful at the moment.

They have to guarantee first starter, other than problems.

21 Jul 2026 18:21:00
Quick maths after all expenses, including Southampton pay off 30 m profit on Fernandes.

35 m profit on Summerville after deduction,
45 m parachute money equals £110 m to the good, debt of WH now reduced to £40 m from 150 m.

There is no way in the world, Sullivan could even have achieved this, he’s been shown up for the crap owner he was, he would have sold the whole squad, and everything WH owned for that money.




Now we have to spend a few quid, no fortunes, to get out of a hole completely. Manufactured by Sullivan. Let’s go irons.

21 Jul 2026 17:57:48
275 k a week plus bonuses. Good luck Summerville, exact details not known, but it’s at least 40 m up front.

Far better than Roma. WH, no excuses now, get a few people in.

21 Jul 2026 17:11:19
Well, we've accepted a bid from Al Hilal for Summerville, is it the 80m that was posted earlier, there's no way we could turn that down, let's hope we get busy now.

21 Jul 2026 17:23:14
It works out at £68m sterling, let's get spending.

21 Jul 2026 17:59:24
That's big money. Hopefully it goes through.

21 Jul 2026 16:13:30
Joyfull. I don’t know if this is correct, but I’ve seen that Roma’s offer for Summerville is €47m plus add-ons. Apparently West Ham have got to make their mind up whether to accept.

21 Jul 2026 16:56:51
Looks like Al Hilal have swooped in for 80m euros... wow.

21 Jul 2026 17:22:48
Hope he goes to the sand dunes, for West Ham and himself. Roma is bad news, whatever they agree, best West Ham get the majority of money up front. They are not 100% trustworthy. They wriggle, they change things around, delay payments, etc. Good luck West Ham dealing with Roma.

21 Jul 2026 15:43:29
It's reported on a couple of websites that we have accepted £47m plus add ons from Roma - if correct. Alongside the £85m for Fernandes that is pretty decent business. Hopefully, they'll try and tempt Disasi to sign now.

22 Jul 2026 08:06:50
Can't see Disasi coming until right at the end of window, if at all. He isn't really going to want to play in Championship.

21 Jul 2026 11:32:58
What might have jolted WH into action with Mavrapanos is no less than three enquiries from Turkey in the last few days, Galatasaray, Fenerbache, are two of them.

WH have decided to increase wages for the player. See what he does. Arsenal made no bid, only a loan offer so far. There’s been no other bids, again so far.

21 Jul 2026 15:09:31
I think people at board level assumed that there would be queues of clubs looking for our players, and bidding wars would ensue. There are probably some players that are 3rd, maybe 4th-choice, targets for clubs, which means bids may come later, by which time they will be harder to replace.

If this is hampering us bringing players in, which it clearly is, at some point a decision will have to be made: a few extra quid now, or a better chance at promotion.

21 Jul 2026 15:51:39
Hi, said before WH must choose a date, after which no one leaves unless a replacement is already there, otherwise, no one arrives. Disaster will then await.

20 Jul 2026 19:12:28
Summerville, trying to deal with Roma, is like trying to buy a car without money.

I’ve posted it twice before. Roma are underfunded by a large amount, they want deals like over 4 5 6 years, forget about it, WH.

Shouldn’t even contemplate it unless they get at least 75% up front.

They can offer any amount of money, but Kretinsky will have a long beard before it’s all paid, and it becomes valueless. Roma want a bank not players.

21 Jul 2026 15:07:55
Agreed, we should move on here & await other bids or just keep. He seems a good egg, & could well buckle down a season (maybe better renegotiated deal)... but I guess I'm just dreaming.

21 Jul 2026 15:54:18
Looks like Summerville is going to Roma, unless WH have agreed a big chunk up front. This will be a poor monetary move from us. Roma are notorious messers. They delay payments, etc. No doubt we will soon find out.

21 Jul 2026 16:21:44
Looks like Al Hilal have come in now with big bucks.

20 Jul 2026 09:28:36.
Harry Souter Cb. A big lump, if ever there was one. His skill set not the greatest, but you can’t intimidate this guy. Played for Aussie in World Cup. 6 feet 6 and 3 feet wide!
He’s on the list.

20 Jul 2026 11:05:10
Watched him at the last World Cup in Qatar and thought he wasn't bad. As you say, he's no Rio Ferdinand, but he is a no-nonsense lump; he is prepared to head a ball, unlike MK.

20 Jul 2026 11:36:29
Yup, he is what he is. This guy won't be for nothing. Maybe it's looking like Disasi doesn't want the Championship, tbh, we are well short all over the team, and many of the younger players won't make Championship level.

Favourites to win the league? As we stand today, not for me.

20 Jul 2026 11:06:57
Have you heard anything in regards to the rumours I've heard about the Cardiff lad Lawlor, Joyful

20 Jul 2026 11:44:51
Soutter looks and plays like an almost direct replacement for Mavro, I think. If Disasi does come, I would think it would be late in the window, after he has explored other options.



I agree, Joyful. I think they need to start getting busy if they are going to live up to that favorites tag. We all saw how we struggled last year against QPR and Burton in the FA Cup.

20 Jul 2026 11:51:01
Lawlor is one of many on the list, he's very useful. He was posted about a couple of weeks ago.

West Ham have a preferred list, he's on it, just a matter of who they can get for how much?

20 Jul 2026 12:01:59
I'm no clairvoyant. No crystal ball, for sure, but some things just smack you in the face.

Prior to last season, I predicted West Ham would get relegated if they never got in the players desperately needed. They didn't; they got a few in, but too late. Our luck in five particular games the previous season was ignored. It was clear Lady Luck wasn't going to appear again.



It's now clear we are without strike power to score the many goals needed, no creativity in the middle, no proper CB pairing, and insufficient reserve backup for 46 games.


For these reasons, I don't see us running away with anything.
West Ham need to act quickly to put these missing links right.

20 Jul 2026 13:21:06
Yep, you're right, Joyful. Dreaming our way to season's start, thinking if we hang on to as many from last season as possible, we will be fine!!!

I hope they realise the reason we got relegated was because this lot weren't good enough, and some are not good enough for this league.

Sleep-walking with arrogance, thinking we will run away with it!! Wake up, somebody.

19 Jul 2026 11:20:26
Gabriel Jesus, would be totally ideal, WH can afford the price, he would get 30 goals in this, league

BUT. he's on £265 k a week at Arsenal! Has one year left on contract, transfer fee affordable, wages definitely not, if Arsenal want to settle his contract which I doubt, then WH unlikely but maybe?

BIssaka, this is silly press Everton have already had £11 m plus addons bid refused, Besiktas, have already had 14 m euro bid knocked back


WH have established a bottom line bid of £20 m would be required to open talks, so why would any team bid the equivalent of 8.4 m, knowing full well it's going nowhere, so either it's nonsense, or Lazio don't read the papers

20 Jul 2026 00:39:31
Gabriel Jesus is injury prone. Why are Arsenal ditching him, I wonder. We need people that can stay fit, I'd say.

20 Jul 2026 09:17:26
Whilst they can sell him, only one year left on contract.

20 Jul 2026 09:18:20
They want to sell, because he's in the last year of his contract, no renewal.

18 Jul 2026 18:25:24
Fikayo Tomori, CB Milan, everything fits, and he would be a big asset.

When I heard about this one last week, I thought no I don’t see it, with plenty Premier interest.

Just the type of player needed to get back up.



Unfortunately, love to be wrong on this, but for me a bridge too far.

London apart, we have nothing to offer, Koppen would be pulling one out of the hat here.
