West Ham Transfer Rumours

01 Sep 2026 18:42:43
Orford not even in the match squad. What on earth is going on?

01 Sep 2026 18:53:25
The guy has lost it completely. Pablo in, Tatty on bench, same as Golumbekis, who was our best player Saturday. A nervous, out-of-confidence Scarles in against a really quick Wolves forward line.
I can hear the reversing bleeps of the bus as he parks it up.

01 Sep 2026 19:02:44
Nuno lost the plot!!

Has Pablo even scored a goal as yet? It is actually laughable. 😂😂

01 Sep 2026 19:03:23
Hmmm, well, if Nuno loses this one & hasn't played the players that did well last game, he'll be out by the Millwall game. Maybe even before...

I'm pretty sure Taty will come on in the 2nd half. Can't explain Orford, though.

01 Sep 2026 19:14:41
Wtf is going on. Mav and Kilman at the back again with Pablo up front.
I despair.

01 Sep 2026 19:20:52
Think Nuno wants the sack. No Orford on deadline day, surely they won't, will they?

Sick of these boring defensive managers. Get Bellamy in.

01 Sep 2026 19:22:03
That being said, Wolves might actually come out and play against us. We might s*** house a win.

01 Sep 2026 19:22:58
Bellamy! Yes please.

01 Sep 2026 19:38:55
Bellamy would shake this lot up.

I'd still like McKenna.

01 Sep 2026 19:40:24
Our line up is certainly not defensive, Iron.Al! Terrifyingly attacking if anything.

01 Sep 2026 20:15:42
2 touches inside the Wolves box after 30 mins, and not a shot on goal yet. This is not a good watch. Might go home at half time.

01 Sep 2026 18:10:53.
Joyful, can you please shed any light on last ditch effort to sign Italian left back " Scraepio di Barrelo" lmfao. 😆 🤣 😄 Only messing buddy lol. 😆

Everyone was so optimistic and, as always, West Ham scraping around for last day deals.

01 Sep 2026 17:08:35
Confirming up till now there have been no bids for Magassa, the loan offers have been turned away last couple days.

01 Sep 2026 17:33:38
So much for Alvarez and Magassa leaving.

01 Sep 2026 18:00:13
Alvarez can do CB as well. Surely, at this level he'd be ok? For Mexico he's been alright.

01 Sep 2026 18:00:57
Alvarez bids well short, no bids for purchase on Magassa so far.

01 Sep 2026 18:08:54
Alvarez needs to sort himself out, he's more than useful. WH are not going to give him away, quite right. If he gets back into the squad, and plays to his potential, there will be customers.

01 Sep 2026 18:54:19
A new manager will help.

01 Sep 2026 17:05:34
WH have been chasing. Cozier Duberry all week, but looks like he’s choosing Middlesbrough.

01 Sep 2026 17:34:10
Probably because they are actually willing to pay some money.

01 Sep 2026 16:37:40
So now we have two left backs as Roma give the ok to Endine? Becoming a jumble?

01 Sep 2026 17:34:33
The more the merrier.

01 Sep 2026 17:37:34
Endine not coming, it's the Bilbao full back?

01 Sep 2026 18:29:50
Can they play LCB?

01 Sep 2026 15:58:09
Looks like Boiro has got the left back job.

01 Sep 2026 17:15:26
Essugo to Hull is off. Think we should be in for him.

With potentially Alvarez and Magassa being linked away.

01 Sep 2026 17:27:23
No bids for the West Ham players. Essugo will probably be off to sister club Strasbourg.

01 Sep 2026 13:53:48
So now another left back this time from Bilbao Adama Boiro, best have a look at the flight times, getting skinny.

Endine from Roma keen. Roma not so want sale.

01 Sep 2026 13:22:23
Two more to chase Phil Neumann Cb Birmingham, Cabango Cb Swansea.

01 Sep 2026 14:55:06
Athletic Bilbao left back Adama Boiro has been mentioned. 🤷

01 Sep 2026 13:15:27
So as time moves on, we can assume most of the previous attempts for left back are either been a no or in the negative department, leaving only Salah Endine of Roma in play at present.

Wout Faes has been halted and attention switched to Soyunku in Turkey, Morata has not been halted at present time.



There doesn’t seem to be any concrete interest in any other positions.

It’s a left back and centre back.
Should have been addressed weeks ago.

01 Sep 2026 14:01:46
Genuine question, what have the club and recruitment teams been doing for months? Where is the blockage, recruitment or higher up?

Were there lots of targets identified and then not pursued, or was there just no plan and the recruitment team just faffing around?

Even in a club as dysfunctional as ours, it's just inconceivable to leave things so late and seem so random.

01 Sep 2026 14:30:06
Going to answer this later with your permission.

01 Sep 2026 16:33:44
WH had a plan for various players on the last day of the old season, which I posted on here some weeks ago. The first of those players was approached, the bid was stopped; that was the Stoke winger, he was first-choice left winger.

After that, the original plan was scrapped; not one of the original choices were moved for.

We then developed into a hotchpotch of filling in gaps as people were sold.

The sales went brilliantly. WH are not broke, they are not without funds; they just don't want to bump up the debt.

Whilst totally understandable, it doesn't help the squad.


Problem was the overbearing idea from the media, that WH were certain promotion candidates. What were they thinking about, a threadbare squad, inadequate replacements? It was just impossible. WH have now woken up, maybe a bit too late.


Big game tonight, followed by two games we should win. For me, whilst only a few games in, this is already the guide for this season.


That is my view, hope that's clear.

01 Sep 2026 17:00:06
Thanks, as ever, Joyful.

Sounds like the club are basically taking a big big gamble that we can go up without spending, and with finances in an ok place, and without a load of Championship-level players who we can't shift and who aren't good enough for the prem.



E.g., it's confidence (arrogance) rather than pure negligence. I hope they are right, but I can't say I share that confidence.

01 Sep 2026 17:22:52
I felt from May 25th, if West Ham had put the same effort into obtaining players as they did selling them, they would not be in the vulnerable position they are now in.

It was a situation that the agency people just could not understand. It was plain as day which players would eventually leave, except one.

That one was Castellanos; other than that, they all left, so it is a mystery to most why replacements were not brought in.

For me, it was just neglect, falsely believing it was like a divine right. Well, they have now found out differently.

West Ham have been a lot less than convincing all round, now we look poor. The panic button has been hit. Will it be enough?

01 Sep 2026 17:28:16
In all fairness the club only really knew Summerville & Fernandes would be sold. Diouf, we didn't know wanted out until well after the return fr World Cup.
OK, we could have prepared for that scenario (very West Ham not to), but it's only the last 2,5 weeks he's kicked up a fuss & refused to play. This Moroccan guy could be good.



The rest of the bomb squad no one's wanted, & we have only got cash from selling Potts.

I'd say us being more careful, not getting laidened with new players being useless, unshiftable & a burden, might be a good strategy.
It's a total re-set.

Now for the ownership in Sept!!
I'm Staveley in personally.

01 Sep 2026 17:38:41
Just listening to Talksport, and even they are asking what are West Ham doing this season both on and off the pitch?

01 Sep 2026 17:46:57
No, mate, sorry that's not true, just your take. The thing that held up sales was the World Cup.

WH received 190 m in cash from two sales plus parachute money. Added to this was Potts and Diouf, 46 m in staggered payments, and a 3 m loan fee for Bissaka.

We are up to £240 m, halving the debt. Now you have to spend a bit. We have been frugal without quality planning.
Sorry, Ruzz, that's where we are, WH totally overlooked everything except their own importance, and so far they have been punished for it.

01 Sep 2026 17:59:22
Yes Mac, what indeed? I've posted the facts. I was dumbfounded when people thought we would walk this league; why?

Made no sense whatsoever. Can we pull it round? Maybe. For me, these next three games are going to tell the story. Tonight could be a game changer, or a confirmation of trouble ahead.

Confidence is a very big thing, and we are not showing it.

01 Sep 2026 18:04:45
Fair enough, but Diouf did play a bit vs Pompey & a league game. If we were selling him, would we have played him?
Brentford hadn't really stepped up at that point, but did 2 weeks ago.

01 Sep 2026 18:11:50
No, it was in the pipe, 95% he's leaving. Yes, also bear in mind WH short of players, someone's there, he will play, unless there's 100% agreement.

01 Sep 2026 12:54:05
Wout Faes to West Ham is off.

01 Sep 2026 14:42:39
Woohoo. 🥳😅

01 Sep 2026 12:15:10
Soyunvu Cb Fenerbache, higher class Cb but cheap in his last year of contract

Played in UK before. Now in talks, can play both sides.

01 Sep 2026 11:33:39
Kaelan Casey going on loan to Stevenage.

01 Sep 2026 11:29:42
Any news on left back Anass Salah-Eddine joyful?

01 Sep 2026 12:31:18
Getting to the stage, take any old body, mate! Pellegrini may not be enough time, ax a complete shock for him that Lazio could let him go, and for a small fee, but they don’t want to loan, sale only they are saying.



Don’t see amass, West Ham were behind on this one, but Man U are fickle, small chance.

Salah Eddine is favourite of the three, just depends how Roma see it. They would rather sell. Times moving on.

01 Sep 2026 11:23:41
Two offers going in from WH Luca Pellegrini Lazio lb Salah Endine Roma, lb, both with option to buy

Certainly trying for a left back, looks like WH, have been run out of the other siituations.

01 Sep 2026 10:36:25
Now Morata seems to be on his way for a medical as well two cbs in a day, will they be any good though?

Ollie Scarles, two loan offers have arrived, one from Marseille, the other from an Italian club? Thought to be Lecce, Cagliari or Torino.



Marseille the eternal skint merchants, anyway can’t see WH letting him out on loan to anybody at this stage it would be silly.

01 Sep 2026 12:08:08
That means he will go!!

And then the board will say "We tried". What? With Wout Faes so Nuno can park the bus with more CBs?
