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

Antonio has scored fur the u-21s


 

 

A young player has been denied a chance to play tonight to accomodate a 35 year old who is out of contract anyway.  Im more pissed off about this than callum wilson. 



 

Each to their own, I couldn't give a fuck. 

[Fauxstralian]

Isak has a ‘minor injury’ of course

[Massive Attack]

Ah the old 'minor injury' chestnut.. Yeah, he's off.

[Fauxstralian]

Saw a report that Emerson hasn’t gone on the US tour
Has a minor injury but supposedly has been told he can leave the club
Not exactly news given the purchase of Diouf & KWP

[goose]

I read that the new lad from Celtic was on the bench while Antonio started?

There is that. It doesn't help our cause much but it certainly helps 35yo Metal Micky's bank balance.

Fair play Metal Micky. Still managing to defy the odds.

Antonio starting for the U21s tonight.

Hopefully this transfer is the start of the end for Sullivan and his lover Salthouse.

Think positive.

Quick butchers I've noticed the petition has jumped 200 sigs within 3 days. The BS Effect.

Re: The West Ham Summer 2025 transfer thread

Harvey Elliot has said yes family impressed with manager with coaches and his planed role.regards West Ham as a big club. Close with Liverpool after they had to speed us up. This is from a friend who I trust very much and is very close to a man mentioned on this site a lot. Club have plans to announce Wilson low key in a morningannouncement and Elliot in evening if we can get the deal done what looks to be happening at a very quick rate now

No idea on the credibility of the statement, but they guy was first touting our interest back in March, and the locals seem to hold the information in some kind of good stead.

[Massive Attack]

It's beyond parody. We have signed a right back and a left back and a old codger who should be left back... in the dressing room.
Ah, the old jokes are the best  although I have just finished a book about a transgender whale.
It's called Maybe Dick.

 

I take it the whale was non-brinery?

[El Scorchio]

I am very curious to see how he does in anger. Also to see what comes out in future about his time here because something really doesn’t add up on the face of it. 

[Massive Attack]

Don't focus so much on the opposition which is often shit in Pre Season. It's the fact that out of the 9 goals, he manages to score 4, assist 1 in his Debut game in Italy. He couldn't do any better than make that 1st impression. I'm sure Potter was 100% right to overlook him the way he did though for half a season mainly kicking his heels on the Bench.

[El Scorchio]

Looking around the friendlies, could be worth looking at that young lad at Roma who's just scored 4 goals on his debut? 

They must have been playing 13 year old girls or amputees. 

​​​​​​But yes there's your nailed on European golden boot 2025/6, its the west ham way.



 

Yeah they won 9-0 against a 4th tier side. So I’m going to hazard a guess it was somewhat of a low standard. 

[Massive Attack]

Leeds United also hold an interest in the England international but West Ham are currently leading the chase for the striker.

Wilson’s agent, Will Salthouse, has a close relationship with David Sullivan and approached the Hammers owner over a move for the free agent.

He is set to become the Hammers’ third signing of the summer following the arrivals of midfielder El Hadji Malick Diouf and Kyle Walker-Peters.

[goose]

I bet he doesn’t get an announcement video, just some low key paragraph on the OS.

hopefully someone else is lined up as well to soften the blow.

[Lee Trundle]

Callum Wilson has agreed terms with West Ham over a move to the London Stadium, talkSPORT understands.

The problem with Wilson is that it's a lose-lose signing for us.

If he stays fit and scores goals and we finish top half of the table as a result, then fair play to him and good for us next season.  But on the flip-side Sullivan will think that it justifies his decision.  In which case he'll just continue to undermine whatever manager is working for him because he's the transfer guru and soon enough we're back to square one with an ageing, unfit, unsuitable squad of misfits once again.

If he get's injured or for whatever reason it doesn't work out, Sullivan will not consider it a failure of his own doing.  It will be blamed on the manager or the player and as a result it fucks up West Ham, messes with the managers transfer plans, and makes it even harder for us to achieve any kind of success.
