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

Cresswell for Aguerd sounds good to me.

but who comes in for Paqueta at this stage?

if Liverpool are going for Ghuei and Isak then Elliot could be available.

Talk is Sullivan is thinking Vieira. Also been linked to Wimmer and Schmid in recent days. Also to Aleix Garcia. All could be seen as Paqueta alternatives.

Loses the ball and falls over. Almost got himself banned with his thick as shit family and friends putting bets on him.

Apparantly Villa want him but don’t have any money. Well that’s not going to work is it? How are we supposed to get a replacement with half a pack of juicy fruit and a tube of smarties? Tell them we’ll swap him for Rogers.

No suggestion he's refusing. Suggestion is he's intimated he'd prefer not to given his future is up in the air. That it's up in the air is on the Club frankly. They clearly are at least humouring Villa rather than telling them to fuck off.

Spokesman told Hammers.News....hmmm..

Are Hammers.News reliable now (theyre still blocked from appearing in our links).

Clearly Emerson who has been badly managed by Potter, and Aguerd are trying to force out. Whether Paqueta is doing the same who knows, but Emerson is his best bud, and maybe Potter isn't exactly the harmony-instilling psychology whiz he thinks he is.

Basically Potter has treated Paqueta's best mate like a cսnt. Emerson is off. Paqueta probably thinking fuck this shit....these guys are offering extra dosh, a better run Club, and without this absolute fucktard as a manager.

a few as opposed to just the two?

If Paqueta is pissed off, the proper question is "What's pissed him off and why?"

Same things that pissed Payet off? Both were happy to come to West Ham on the promise/project they were sold.

Seems like someone is not holding up their end of that promise...again.

I’m surprised Villa would want him when they had Asensio on loan & didn’t buy him.

Posted: **30 Aug 2025, 19:17**

Paqueta is a bit of a liability, who costs us as many goals as he scores/creates.

The fact that Villa is the calibre of club in for him is telling.

They just paid out £35m on Todibo, £20m on Diouf, £20m on a keeper, £38m on Fernandes and £17m on this new French kid.
They are investing in the squad.
Are they spending that money wisely? History suggests probably not but let’s be clear, they’re spending now because they fear relegation.

Fucking Sullivan.

Would be typical Sullivan to "leak" he doesn't want to play to turn the fans against him, don't believe it

It’s not costing Sullivan a penny to run the club btw.

COYI.

Makes no sense.
relegate a club and reduce its value so you can then sell it??

Goose what do they own.? A training ground and a brand name at best. They ain't getting the OS. Nobody in their right mind is buying a Premiership club with no Stadium. (Let alone invest in a League where the richest owners on the planet are unable to put money into their club.) Can't get anybody to buy the Gold shares. The other owners have told him. They ain't putting another bean into the club. Just for him to spunk it away.

Sullivan has always been in the property business. And running us. Was the price of that business. Buy us. Move us. Sell the old ground. Buy the new ground. (When the price is right.) Sell us. Move on. Now that hasn't gone exactly to plan. We have become a burden to him. And every season he keeps us. It's costing him. But fear not. Look who his fellow co-owners are. People who have made their fortunes buying and selling Distressed Assets. And after 15 year. When (Not if.) we drop. Sullivan will still walk away from us. Quids in.

Sorry but that ridiculous. The value is the club and its registration to the PL. That gives access to hundreds of millions in revenue as we’ve seen. The club has one of the highest turnovers in world football.

relegation likely devalues his asset by more than half.

it hasn’t sold because of a combination of Sullivan over valuation and nobody making a serious offer at his price.

On the lower side the club is worth £600m, walking away from £300m because you don’t own the ground or you’ve had enough just doesn’t make sense.
it also makes the thing you’re trying to sell less attractive to buyers.

this is nothing more than Aguerd wanting to leave and Paqueta being made available at the right price because we don’t have the budget for the players Sullivan wants to bring in.

Portuguese speaking Mourinho would be ideal to breathe confidence and passion back in to Paquetas game.

Posted: **30 Aug 2025, 18:24**

I just don’t know with Paqueta. He just doesn’t seem the character to force a move to Villa of all clubs. He has left all previous clubs on good terms, and seems genuinely passionate when good things happen at the club.

I probably don’t mind selling him at the right price if he is replaced, but while he isn’t perfect, we are devoid of players who can do something special like he can. I think our new look midfield can bring the best out of him.

It’ll be a shame for him to go in such circumstances but feels more like the board finding an angle to blame the player.

Aguerd can fuck off. Proper flakey melt.

Posted: **30 Aug 2025, 18:09**

Aguerd? I fuckin hate that French-speaking surrender MONKEY.

I never rated the cսnt from day 1. I'd have shoved his fucking backbone right up his arse, if he had one. Put me in a room with him for 5 minutes, I beg you! Slimy rat faced vermin.

FUCK OFF OUT OF THIS CLUB. And take Tobido with you on the way out.

Trouble is he is a very versatile and talismanic player in a squad bereft of personality. Plays 8, 9, 10, LW.

Would take at least two very talented players to replace the role he plays in the squad. He's also been our best player this year so far and scored 2 in 2.

He also made the most recoveries in our team last season, so while he does give it away he wins it back the most, oh and Viera of Arsenal ffs!
