Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

Post 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?

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June

Happy to bring John in providing we can offload Areola.

Not sure what's happened to him, as he was a decent keeper at one point. Just seems shot to bits, was at fault for 2 goals last night.

Unsure who would actually take him off us though. Hopefully some two-bob French outfit take a punt.

Sport Witness

‘Concrete interest’ – 2 sources state West Ham have initiated contact for deadline deal

By Naveen Ullal

West Ham United are in contention to make a late move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Aleix García this summer, according to multiple claims from Germany.

Last summer, the midfielder left Girona for the Bundesliga club, managing five goals and four assists from 42 games in his debut season.

Prior to his move Germany, West Ham tried to sign him. That’s according to Kicker, and they report the Hammers have now returned for García.

They say the Premier League club can make a new attempt, after renewing their interest in the 28-year-old.

Sky Deutschland back up West Ham’s desire to sign the Spaniard and then provide an update.

It’s claimed Graham Potter’s side have a ‘concrete interest’ in securing García’s services before Monday’s deadline. They have already approached the German club to find out the conditions needed to sign him.

The two clubs have verbally exchanged details and Bayer Leverkusen have set a €20m price. Sky add West Ham haven’t submitted an official bid yet and it’s unclear whether they will make one.

Both Kicker and Sky make no mention of whether García is open to moving to the London club.

We need a minimum of 2 centre half's NOW, or we'll be relegated by Christmas. 

Fuck the midfield, fuck the strikers, we need defenders. This mob are possibly the worst I've ever seen.

Just the eight players? Looks like we really know who we want after careful consideration and planning. 
Good luck to Magassa we certainly need him to provide something exciting that our midfield currently lacks. I see we're in for Sangare at Forest who we were constantly linked with when he was at PSV. I think he caught Malaria on international duty last November which is why it took a while to recover and establish himself under Nuno.

I've had a look at Transfermarkt and both don't seem to be attached to a representing agency on their profiles.

Have we reached the stage where our owner has burnt his bridges so often over the years that aside from Salthouse nobody else really enjoys doing business with him anymore? 

The mind boggles but it's possible eh? 🤯

West Ham and AS Monaco reach agreement for Soungoutou Magassa

Image

West Ham United and AS Monaco have reached an agreement for the transfer of Soungoutou Magassa, according to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna.

The versatile 21-year-old Frenchman has agreed to move to the London Stadium to join West Ham in a €20 million deal.

The Hammers will part with an initial €17m for Magassa, with the other €3m coming in add-ons.

French outlet L’Equipe have claimed the defensive midfielder, who also features at centre-back, will be signing a six-year contract to join West Ham.

Hammers manager Graham Potter has been crying out for a defensive midfielder all summer, and he will be hoping the France youth international is the answer.

West Ham lost 3-0 to Sunderland in their opening game of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign before suffering a 5-1 defeat to Chelsea last weekend.

They are back in action tonight when they travel to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the second round of the League Cup.

West Ham travel to Nottingham Forest in their third Premier League fixture of the new campaign, and Potter will be desperate to head into the international break with all three points.

It is unclear whether a deal for Magassa can be completed in time for the weekend game, but West Ham need verve and steel in the middle of the park as soon as possible.

Tackling and ball interception are the young Frenchman’s strengths, and he brings decent experience to the table after playing almost 80 games as a professional.

West Ham have added Mads Hermansen, Callum Wilson, Kyle Walker-Peters and El Hadji Malick Diouf to their squad after signing Jean-Clair Todibo permanently, and they need more quality signings.

Magassa fits the bill despite his relatively cheap fee, and he will be eager to prove himself in the Premier League and force his way into the French senior national team.
Great another fucking DM, that'll add goals and excitement to the team,

Can someone tell cock piss aiming for 36 draws won't keep us up.
 

You aren't very bright are you. This is someone we need, someone who can sit in front of the back FOUR and offer protection as well as some much needed pace, aggression and power. This will then enable us to to play 2 more offensive midfielders so that we can start to create some chances for Fullkrug, Bowen, Wilson or Marshall. His addition, if it happens, frees us up. If we can also get another offensive midfielder in and maybe a CB, Charlie Cresswell, then we might have a chance to improve on our start this season.
 
 
I'm many orders of magnitude smarter than you if you think for one moment cock piss crab cսnt is going to use this as a catalyst to start using a back four. This poor cսnt will never see north of the half way line.

His pace will is utterly irrelevant because the ball will never be moved forward with enough urgency  to use it. 

As for creating chances, for who and by who?

Paqueta, a man who assists or scores as often as the french scuttle a dinghy?

Cunting  (soon to be injured ) Fucefuck?

Diouf and KWP.

Also, shipping out wasters such as Kudus and Alvarez.
So you applaud the loss of two of the four or five players in the squad with genuine talent and you think bringing in a journeyman fullback and an expensive untested wingback from a third rate league constitutes good business, am I getting that right?
 
I’m sorry but Alvarez had ‘genuine talent’?

The most limited player I can remember in the middle of the park since Kovac.
Not watched much football no?

Levy has Sullivan's number. Last day of season, walk in and dump 20M in a suitcase full used 50s on Sullivans desk. Sullivan's eyes widen like dinner plates and before you know it we've had our pants pulled down again.
