West Ham Online

Well seems like with all these international breaks, and us languishing, the rumours of ins and outs are rife.

Chuck anything 'worthy' of discussion on this thread...

--------------

Incomings:

Pablo Felipe - €21m + €3m (Gil Vicente) | Forward
Valentin 'Taty' Castellanos - €26m + €4m (Lazio) | Forward
Adama Traore - £2m + £1m if stay up (Fulham) | Forward
Axel Disasi - Loan (Chelsea) | Centre Back
Keiber Lamadrid - £150k + £1m option | Attacking Mid

Outgoings:

Nicolas Füllkrug - 6 months loan (AC Milan)
Luis Guilherme - £17m + Sell On % (Sporting Lisbon)
George Earthy - 6 months loan (Bristol City)
Callum Marshall - 6 months loan (Bochum)
Andy Irving - 1.5m (Sparta Prague)
Guido Rodriguez - Undisclosed (Valencia)
Igor Julio - Loan Cancelled (Brighton)
James Ward Prowse - 6 months loan (Burnley)
Lucas Paqueta - £36.5m + Buy Back Clause (Flamengo)

If we were 'primed for the drop' Earthy is basically the last player we'd be selling. 

I thought we were signing Neymar

Well. According to Geo. And that Fat Guy who likes broadcasting in the Supply Cupboard.! The club are going to. “Turfy. Earthy.!” And try and flog him in the January sales.

PRIMED FOR THE DROP.

At a time when many have rightly complained of a lack of leaders and players taking responsibility in the dressing room as well. Warned this would happen and yet we continue to shoot ourselves needlessly in the foot. Our Transfer policies are 1 of the worst around be it incomings or outgoings.

COYI.

Hayden Hackney at Boro and Jack Rudoni at Coventry are the two best players in the Championship. Both midfielders the first one is box to box and the second is more attacking.

Hackney is from Redcar and Rudoni from Carshalton - he started out at Wimbledon. It's a shame that we'll probably miss out on them due to far more urgent priorities.

We need a striker though...two strikers even - one a left sided forward that cuts in at the very least.

 

Paper talk probably bollocks about Conor Gallagher
If Atletico Madrid wanted to do a swap for Paqueta he’d be more use in a relegation scrap

Is Sargent premier league standard?
Joined Norwich when they were plummeting out of the league & scored 2 in 26 in a terrible team
Has played 3 and a bit Championship seasons since scoring around 50 league goals in 113 league games

The only strikers who have done anything in recent years for us … Ashton , Antonio plus Bowen if you want to call him a striker .. have come from the Championship 
The massive failures have been from European leagues. Zaza, Scamacca, Haller, Fullkrug etc

Being linked with the lad from Coventry as well (Haji Wright).  Only seen brief highlights, but looks like someone that would be worth having....although strikers from the Championship rarely make good transitions to the Prem it feels.

It’s an upgrade!

Replacing a 30 something year old injury prone striker with a younger injury prone striker.

How many more times. The monies Sullivan  (or anybody else) can put in to the club are very limited and constrained by PSR.

I'd settle for no money from him and for him to sell up.



 

Well that's partly correct. 

Based on the current financial landscape of the Premier League and West Ham United's specific situation as of late 2024/early 2025, the short answer is no, it is not strictly true.

While Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) do limit how much money a club can lose, West Ham United is currently in a financial position where David Sullivan (or other investors) could invest more money if they chose to. The claim that they are "constrained by PSR" is viewed by many financial experts as a negotiation tactic or a business choice, rather than a hard regulatory ban.

In other words. Sullivan doesn't want to invest into West ham with his own funds.
This is why he is hated, and has to be flogged out. Dead or alive!
