Well seems like with all these international breaks, and us languishing, the rumours of ins and outs are rife.
Chuck anything 'worthy' of discussion on this thread...

Hayden Hackney at Boro and Jack Rudoni at Coventry are the two best players in the Championship. Both midfielders the first one is box to box and the second is more attacking.
Hackney is from Redcar and Rudoni from Carshalton - he started out at Wimbledon. It's a shame that we'll probably miss out on them due to far more urgent priorities.
We need a striker though...two strikers even - one a left sided forward that cuts in at the very least.

Paper talk probably bollocks about Conor Gallagher
If Atletico Madrid wanted to do a swap for Paqueta he’d be more use in a relegation scrap

Is Sargent premier league standard?
Joined Norwich when they were plummeting out of the league & scored 2 in 26 in a terrible team
Has played 3 and a bit Championship seasons since scoring around 50 league goals in 113 league games
The only strikers who have done anything in recent years for us … Ashton , Antonio plus Bowen if you want to call him a striker .. have come from the Championship
The massive failures have been from European leagues. Zaza, Scamacca, Haller, Fullkrug etc

Being linked with the lad from Coventry as well (Haji Wright). Only seen brief highlights, but looks like someone that would be worth having....although strikers from the Championship rarely make good transitions to the Prem it feels.

It’s an upgrade!
Replacing a 30 something year old injury prone striker with a younger injury prone striker.

Apparently the yanks think he's fucking toilet as are all their front line options and he's down their pecking order, has scored once since August..

Based on the current financial landscape of the Premier League and West Ham United's specific situation as of late 2024/early 2025, the short answer is no, it is not strictly true.While Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) do limit how much money a club can lose, West Ham United is currently in a financial position where David Sullivan (or other investors) could invest more money if they chose to. The claim that they are "constrained by PSR" is viewed by many financial experts as a negotiation tactic or a business choice, rather than a hard regulatory ban.
In other words. Sullivan doesn't want to invest into West ham with his own funds.
This is why he is hated, and has to be flogged out. Dead or alive!
Well, let's wait and see, when last season's accounts are released. Legally due by the end of February, but generally released any time between now and mid January.

he'll probably stump-up for a couple of black-jacks, you never know, he could put in a bid for Bazooka Joe, you know he loves a duff & injury prone striker.

I couldn't give a fuck if he puts his own funds in its his misuse of the clubs funds because of his mates is why I hate him.

"Sullivan ain't putting money into saving our Premiership status."
How many more times. The monies Sullivan (or anybody else) can put in to the club are very limited and constrained by PSR.
I'd settle for no money from him and for him to sell up.

COYI.
Nah, his greed is too great for him to accept anything less than top dollar. He's not selling if we go down. He's not going to settle for (for example- I'm not trying to put accurate numbers here) 500 million if in the premier league he could get 750 million. He will fork out because we're in dire straits (of his own making) in order to take more. I'd bet all he's waiting for is to get his own hands on the stadium to make even more dough, then he's not going to be seen for dust. I don't believe we're being 'primed for the drop' at all. That's just silly. Our situation is not by design, it's by incompetence.

Just overheard some transfer chat on Talksport with some European specialist of some nature. He reckons Promise David to West Ham won't happen as he's destined for a bigger club. That's a mark of our standing in the eyes of the footballing world

Mark Noble has been in Belgium trying to complete a deal for Nigerian Enforcer Tochukwu Nnadi
Apparently a fee of just 3.5 million has been agreed now with Belgium club SV Zulte Waregem and the player will sign a 5 year contract in January with the hammers

Well in that case I’d suggest he does what he can to keep us up because getting relegated will cost him a fuck of a lot more.

Sullivan doesn't care about West Ham. He care's about his money. And how he can make more of it. Without spending any of it.

And that is what will cost us our premier league status. If he doesn’t fully listen to Nuno and give him the players he needs and goes into business for himself as usual, we will be gone.
