Re: Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread
There's talk that Disasi has stalled and we're back considering bloody Harwood-Bellis from Southampton.
Assume will be a last day panic and we take Igor back from Brighton again

in that he was sold to Chelsea for nearly 40m from Monaco so clearly was not shit. Then I hear both Chelsea and Villa played him at RB and his best position is CB.
So is he another mispriced asset? We’ve seen it with Lingard, Dawson, AWB and Wilson.
will reserve judgement until I see him play in his real position.
hopefully he’s kept himself fit. But I kind of think would I want him to come on instead of Killman at 85 minutes? Right now probably yeah.
Same, unless he does this again
Striker as well eh? lol. Sign him up!

Re: Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread
Window doesn't close till Monday the 2nd of Feb at 7pm. It's just a potential haggling strategy to keep holding off for more money until nearer the last day. I'd be surprised he stays unless Mateta isn't sold?

I'd have had Pinnock realistically here over him all day long for 1 example.

He’ll be 3rd choice and may even USURP Mav by the end of the season.

Surely just 4th choice though.
Fingers crossed no injuries to Mav & Todibo who have improved enough under Nuno to be first choice now, and do compliment each other.

It's mental, especially considering we just sent back another similarly poor Centre Half who lacked match sharpness to Brighton. Just what we need in a relegation battle right now to come in to make a serious impact.

Re: Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread
I think the worst trolling I saw him do on Twitter was on the final day of a january transfer window (may have been moyes final year, just after we'd unnecessarily moved on jimmy, benrahma and kehrer) and the cսnt made up a graphic under the title "We've signed......"
with the letters NO ONE printed on the shirt. clearly taking the piss, especially as he had/s access to the midget right up to such times. not sure any other club I've known has it's own propaganda team, made up of cunts that claim to be fellow fans. all of them have sold their souls
*upminster ginger saville, fuck off, before you start defending your tiny hero*

Stopped at 'Whetstone'.
The geezer's a fat, multi pie-eating cսnt that delights in towing the club's (Sully's) line.
He's NOT West Ham, and is only in it for himself (the clicks).
If there's a God, bad AIDS awaits the lard-arsed cսnt
But I'm aware you know this fella![]()
I couldn’t agree more.
He also has the mostly annoying effeminate voice too.

Re: Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread
Don't mind Disasi, not sure he is better than Igor......but he is definitely better than Kilman
Doesn't exactly feel like we've added much depth or quality this window. I don't know why it's a surprise anymore

I'd rather we got Axel Foley, at least we would get a laugh out of it.

Nah, he looks like one of these naturally fit athletes. Seen mixed reviews, some think he's top drawer, others not so.

Re: Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread
Don't know anything about this CB, but it's just another squad player, he ain't replacing Mav, or at least not initially. Going to end up making a profit in this window and more money saved on wages. That said, with tin hat on, considering we have only bombed out shit (discounting Earthy) and Paqueta wasn't doing anything, we probably are a little stronger now than at the beginning of the month, which is the general idea of a transfer window anyway. Hopefully there will be a surprise or two before Monday.
Re: Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread
Axel Disaster will make Kilman look like prime Franz Beckenbauer. He’s absolute toilet and had the audacity to turn us down last season as he preferred to dit on a bench or play u21s football.
Sullivan throwing Nuno under the proverbial bus.
All of this is just to minimise the costs to create the weak illusion that we are rebalancing the squad. The priority is to spend as little as possible. Use the Paqueta and Guilherme fees ( on terms that get the cash in asap ) to cover the fees on Pablo and Taty ( with terms that let cash go as slow as possible). He’s also, for the fifth window, reduced the wage bill ( more cash flow easing) to ensure the ponzi scheme financing model he uses doesnt catch up.
Sullivan is good at one thing, being a con man. This is classic “Robbing Peter to pay Paul" while he will claim to anyone dumb enough to listen that he supported the manager and did all that was possible to keep us up.
