West Ham Online

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

I see Hugo Ekitike is off to Newcastle for a ridiculous amount of money.

We could have bought him for £13m.

Cheers Sullivan and Moyes.

Reason I'm saying "give it a rest" is that you're clearly just using this as another stick to beat Potter with. Guaranteed that if Potter had started him in every game you'd have been having a go at him for playing such an out of form striker. And you'd have been right.

Posted: **15 Jul 2025, 13:38**

I know he had injuries but as an 18yo Ferguson looked like the next Kane & was talk of lots of big clubs chasing him
Hardly got on the pitch for us and can only guess he wasn’t showing enough off the pitch
That said Potter seemed reluctant to start ANY striker

Give it a rest Massive. Ferguson was shit for us when he played and he was not much better for Brighton last season either, which is why they happily loaned him out despite not exactly being flush with centre forwards themselves. The only thing to blame Potter for is bringing him in in the first place as he was clearly well off the pace and was obviously going to struggle, as I and a few others pointed out at the time. Even then we don't really know if the loan was down to Potter or a Sully special with few or no other options.

I think it was clearly apparent that Ferguson was so far off the pace that he wasn't anywhere near to being in an acceptable physical condition for a loan move to be beneficial to his fitness in the short term in the first fucking place.

So much so that when he was called up to the Rep of Ireland men's Team he scores and helps them win both matches during March.

Against Bulgaria who like Ireland are light years away from their mid 1990's peak.

My point was that he looked lethargic and turgid with us and not the mobile young prospect with strength and zip that burst onto the scene at Brighton.

He only played 151 minutes in 12 available games, so fuck knows how you can tell he was dogshit when he even managed to help his Team on International duty win 2 games whilst scoring in quick succession.

Maybe, just maybe Potter fucked up mismanaging him, as he was clearly mobile and good enough for Ireland during that time. 1, 4, 8, 17, 21, 45 mins of Premier League Football at a time isn't enough to determine he's too unfit. He was never given a fair crack of the whip in 12 available games out of 14 and that's on Potter.

Republic of Ireland "men's team"

I resisted putting Seniors as he ain't Cascarinos age as I didn't want anyone to think I meant the U21s, so I panicked and stumped for men's Team in the end. It wasn't meant in a wanky woke way, promise guv.

He will eventually go on to prove how good he is. He didn't stand a chance when only given 151 minutes on Loan having been available to play in 12 matches for Potter. He mismanaged that opportunity once the Club managed to get him in for the manager.

Not being a striker is weirdly what really helps Bowen in our system. he scores so many from deep and cutting in from his wing, especially when we've broken out of defence/low block situations. He creates so many of his own goals. Doesn't need service. Both Ings and Wilson need service. Wilson got great service in Newcastle, Ings got fuck all at West Ham and was often 30-40 yards from goal. It's also why Bowen didn't do as well when he had to play as the striker for us- we just don't play in a way that benefits a traditional centre forward. It's why no strikers look good playing for us. Antonio possibly the only exception but again that's all about coming from deep and using his pace and power a lot of the time rather than being any sort of clinical fox in the box.

Ings would have scored significantly more for Newcastle, and Wilson would have scored significantly less for us in the same period.

Far Cough UKunt" wrote: ↑15 Jul 2025, 10:16 So did Ings what? I don't think he's in the same class as Callum (always scores against us) Wilson. Four goals in 52 apps is terrible return, Wilson had 47 in 113 at Newcastle which is decent.

Knew where the back of the net was before joining us, scored 22 PL goals for Southampton one season and scored 6 I think for Villa the season we signed him.. Then he joined us..

He fucking well didn't last season!

We have become Barrel Scrapers FC. Maybe we should seriously think about replacing the crossed Hammers now with a pair of scrapers..

To be fair, Id take him on a one year deal strongly incentivised at 18.59 on 1st September if we haven't signed any other strikers by then.

This is probably what is going to happen so Sullivan can present him and the player as a saviour and a personal gift from his wonderful and benevolent self, moving heaven and earth to get the player in.

Before he does absolutely fuck all for us.

I'd like more ins and outs by now but I'm pleased with the players we are bing linked to. Longer term thinking seems to finally be kicking in in terms of the profiles we are looking at. I just wish we'd had this plan a year ago when we had the chance and money to properly rebuild but Lopetegui chose waste money and squad spaces on Kilman, Soler, Rodriguez and Fulkrug.

HENDO signs for Brentford. One potential bullet dodged.
If someone else could sign Ramsdale and Wilson we'll all sleep a touch easier.
