It has been revealed this morning that West Ham United have managed to sign Evan Ferguson.
We’ve been competing for the Brighton player’s signature all window and have finally managed to strike a deal; however, it will come at a cost.
The club have agreed on a deal which is a straight loan and there will be NO OPTION to buy.
Having a no-option clause in a deal like this really isn’t ideal for the Hammers.
West Ham United were encouraged by the latest news from Graham Potter's words along with training photos showing Jarrod Bowen back in training, along with a video about Summerville which saw the likes of Todibo in.
Jean-Clair Todibo is currently targeting a return for the home match against Brentford on the 15th of February.
It is also to be said that Nicholas Fulkrug’s return will be quicker than expected, however… take of that what you will with that news because it came from dithering Dave upstairs not Potter.
With an extended winter window is it West Ham’s chance to finally bring in another striker, or is it time to give the rumours a rest and accept the inevitable feeling that no signings will be incoming?
Under Potters reign so far we’ve seen the boss utilise the youth academy but the majority of our promising attacking youth are practically all out on loan!
George Earthy alongside Callum Marshall are both currently out on loan and the Hammers sealed their own fate through negotiations due to not having a recall option.
A solid performance but one that’s shadowed over by the abysmal refereeing performance tonight.
As soon as the officials were announced for the match, you just knew it’d be a Premier League game full of cards, chaotic decisions and utter carnage in general.
The game kicked off and started sorely for the Hammers, first 10 minutes had the look of a Lopetegui rec team, conceding two in eight. Fortunately, the second goal was ruled out for offside.
Aston Villa: Martinez (C), Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Ramsey, Kamara, Tielemans, Bailey, Rogers, Watkins
West Ham: Areola, Coufal, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Cresswell, Emerson, Alvarez, Soucek (C), Soler, Paqueta, Kudus Subs: Fabianski, Foderingham, Guilherme, Ings, Rodriguez, Irving, Casey, Scarles, Orford
West Ham's technical director, Tim Steidten, will leave his role as his exit from the club is currently being finalised, with his replacement imminent. He has already been working on deals behind the scenes and finding transfer targets for the future and the remainder of the window.
After such a welcoming, bright delight of Tim, it felt that he was the fresh air we needed, but apparently, after some 'stuff behind the scenes', he's set to be relieved of his duties immediately.
West Ham United have reportedly agreed their first signing of 2025 with OH Leuven to sign highly-rated Belgium midfielder Ezechiel Banzuzi.
Banzuzi is expected to complete his move to East London by the end of the week, with his medical scheduled in the next 24/48 hours after both parties reached the agreement of a total of £13,000,000. With a £10,000,000 million fee upfront and a further potential of £3,000,000 million in add-ons.
It is a tough time to be a West Ham United’s fan. The team has been struggling for a while now and the fans hope that the coaching change will change the trajectory of the Hammers. Graham Potter is taking the hot seat and the task to save the club from relegation. West Ham is still in the safe zone but their performance needs a dramatic change or things may get really difficult as the season progresses.
Graham Potter’s Appointment: A Turning Point?
West Ham fans suffered a miserable defeat in a blistering cold 15:00 kick-off against Crystal Palace.
Individual mistakes, comical errors and incorrect tactics all resulted in us not even having a shot on target, all in all, woeful performance and match.
If Hammers fans look past the dreadful result itself, some questions need to be raised, that performance should’ve screamed to the board that signings need to be made, and not having a shot on target exclaims that.
