Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

[stubbo-admin]

May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

[Keep dreaming]

Worth a punt?

Tomiyasu a more pressing need

Depends on the price, but he is a good winger

[Barty888]

Tomiyasu?

[Barty888]

Appearantly this lad is signing for us next

He is Diouf's best mate

expensive 'Punt' - dunno - good player but if he wasn't setting the world on fire at Man U what makes you think he'd do it here?

[Gank]

[Gank]

Good news, just the profile of player we need
More of the same please
As said I understand he eviscerated the ludicrously over rated Saka as Senegal destroyed England at Wembley 

I don't agree with that at all. He did a good job of keeping Saka quiet, which is no mean feat, but he simply did his job and did it well. Senegal in no way 'destroyed' England. A dubious decision and a late goal made for a win for the Africans in the dying minutes, in a friendly match.

[Barty888]

Worth a punt?

[fraser]

Except his weakness is defending. Which is great for a defender.

I didn't see the game but apparently he played really well against England and had Saka in his pocket and can also play as a cb, so he can't be that bad at defending. 

 

England were very poor in that game. I wouldn't judge his defending ability by that game. He's better attacking than defending and he lacks positional awareness, hopefully these are things that he can be taught, otherwise he will be found out in Premier league pretty quickly.

Fair enough, he'll be playing as a wing back I suspect rather than a full back so will have cover. How much have you seen him play?

[cheesebgt]

He does. But the biggest positive I'm taking from that compilation is that we haven't been linked with any goalkeepers from the Czech league!

[Keep dreaming]

Never heard of this guy before, but from the clips he looks strong and fast. And being young is another plus. Reminds me a little of Bissaka.

On paper looks an ideal signing. Exactly the sort of profile and price we should have been looking at this time last year - not the (mostly) shit that Loppy signed.

Looks very good 

[Mad Ferret]

Superb signing.

El Hadji Malick Diouf to West Ham, here we go! Deal agreed to bring in the left back from Slavia Prague.

Transfer fee will be €22m plus add-ons after #WHUFC improved their bid.

West Ham Reach Agreement for Summer Signing, Medical Next Week

West Ham United have reportedly reached a full agreement with Slavia Prague to sign Senegalese left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf.

French journalist Santi Aouna reports that the 20-year-old is headed to London next week to undergo a medical ahead of a switch to the Hammers for an undisclosed fee. He has been on the Premier League club's radar since the transfer window opened.

Diouf will become Graham Potter's second signing this summer, following Jean-Clair Todibo's loan being made permanent in a £35m deal. He's now played his last game for Slavia Prague where his stock has grown as one of Africa's most in-demand talents.

Diouf has garnered interest amid an impressive spell in Czechia, managing seven goals and four assists in 41 games across competitions last season. He offers pace and creativity on the left flank that will help Potter try and turn the tide at the London Stadium.

Aouna has confirmed that Diouf has bid farewell to his teammates ahead of his move to east London:

"Full agreement reached between West Ham and Slavia Prague for El Hadji Malick Diouf. Diouf will undergo medical next week with the Hammers. Diouf will play his last game today with Slavia Prague and say goodbye to his teammates."

Diouf is set to arrive and the Irons appear to have increased their offer for the Senegal international. They previously failed with a £17m bid but he's remained keen to make the switch.

[Fauxstralian]

I’m guessing for £100m you get Jackson, one of the hotels and the women’s team

[E6 Hammer]

As predicted with Sullivan back handling negotiations. Last minute changing terms, conditions and payment terms, refusing to pay agents etc after first making derisory offers. He “nikel and dimes” every deal, disrespects other clubs.  He is a man of zero integrity, dishonest and untrustworthy.  Allied to his narcissistic personality disorder and “small man syndrome” its no wonder the club has become such a dysfunctional mess under his tenure. 

Do you get commission for posting the word narcissist? 

You post like you're his discarded ex-wife for fucks sake,

It's fucking boring. 

He is not wrong though is he?

[Barty888]

Our Nuno Mendes

[threesixty]

Madueke would seem a strange signing for Arsenal
Expensive & unlikely to start ahead of Saka or Martinelli
Arsenal fans going off the deep end
Presumably want this striker & Eze sorted

Speaking of ridiculous fees I see Chelsea are quoting £100m for Nicolas Jackson

 

 

I feel like Arsenal and Chelsea have some sort of "arrangement" financially.
Hardly any of the transfers between the clubs has made any sense.
So many weird financial shenanigans between Chelsea and some clubs, must have wonderful accountants...
