Dodgy Deals To Remorseful Business

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

Tim Steidten went from having his own chants to being released of his duties come January time, but his business over the years could now, in hindsight, be described as mediocre.

The deals completed over his time at the club were also regarded as ‘strange’ according to people inside the club, the way deals were completed as well as his prolonged absences, but looking past the way deals were done, the Hammers are seriously considering selling Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur.

Exits Needed But No Checkers Moving

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

West Ham’s most imminent exit was seemingly Mohammed Kudus, with Chelsea at the top of the list fighting for his signature; however, over the past couple of days, Chelsea have now turned their attention to Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who has now agreed a multi-year deal.

It does beg the question for West Ham fans: where is Kudus now expected to go? The player has ruled out Saudi as an option and wants to play European football, with now Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle the only known teams of interest, but none are ready to match the asking price the Hammers are asking for.

It is no surprise to one that West Ham are in a sell to buy position, it’s been plastered all over the media for week on end and now isn’t coming as a shock to any.

The likes of Mohamed Kudus, Nayef Aguerd and Edson Alvarez are all set to leave the Hammers this summer and the fundings that are acquired from these sales, will contribute to the transfer budget for the upcoming season, well, 75% of it was the last of what we knew, but moving onwards!!

It won’t come as a surprise to many that Nayef Aguerd’s exit is imminent and it would be a huge surprise if he was at West Ham come the start of next season, despite Graham Potter wanting to use the Moroccan international in the squad.

After claiming that the Hammers were after £35,000,000 for Aguerd back in the January window, now we’ve slashed our asking price to just £20,000,000 which has led to a plethora of clubs interested, primarily from Italy with Roma & Juventus at the forefront of that.

An Eye For An Eye In Hammers’ Latest Search

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

A common theme at West Ham is being rumoured to sign past targets and also ones that happen to be way past their peak.

It was initially thought that back in 2023 that Danny Ings would’ve been a good signing for the club, a player that had been around the Premier League for ages and had the capability to score goals, with one of his good seasons coming in 2020/21, scoring 12 goals.

Deja Vu is appearing with the Hammers now targeting Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free after not renewing his contract with Everton.

In the Hammers’ search to rebuild their Starting 11, Graham Potter has recently informed Emerson that he is free to discuss with other clubs and will be leaving the club this window, with multiple clubs interested.

After Potter had gotten rid of Aaron Cresswell, it will soon be Emerson set to leave, I wonder what issue Potter has got with lefty's!

Unsurprisingly, the Italian international is receiving a lot of interest from Italy, with AS Roma at the forefront keen to agree a deal as quickly as possible for Emerson to return to his old club.

‘He Ran Once’ - Hammers Interested In Last Season’s Getaway

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

As any West Ham fan would remember, as well as many signings last summer, there were also many, many rumours, ones that were completely media-esc and others that simply just got away.

The biggest conundrum last summer was Colombian international Jhon Duran. West Ham had identified Duran and Fullkrug as striker targets. The Hammers ended up with Fullkrug, and Duran would find himself in Saudi Arabia come January.

After making the decision not to renew Fabianski’s contract at the end of the season, it’s the first time in a long while that the Hammers are in search of a new goalkeeper.

The club has had the consistent pairing of Fabianski and Areola for numerous years, but now new targets need to be identified. It appears to be that a name which has been circulating for a while is Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale, whom they signed for a club record fee last summer transfer window.
