West Ham Online

Posted: **26 May 2025, 20:02**

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

Really odd vague shit...

It’s going to be a wild ride this season.

Maybe we need to sell because we can't buy and Sullivan is up to his old tricks, it's a very odd post, sounds like one of our "we're thinking about preparing to make a bid" shit.

Sounds to be like Paqueta knows what’s going on behind the scene and is a rat jumping off our sinking ship.

Our most fragile position is midfield and the fact we start our season tomorrow without anyone mobile in the middle looks like it’ll ensure we’ll struggle all season. My prediction in July was relegation, and selling our only creative player ensures that.

I reckon we get a couple of decent signings in this window that might strengthen the first team, which should have bene done months ago.

A few weeks ago I suggested that the only way we could shift Guido is if an Argentinian manager in the Saudi League thought he could do a job.

That matches the manager of Al-Taawoun and ex Boca Juniors and Villarreal legend Rodolfo Arruabarrena.

Hopefully it's him and if so we all owe him a case of Quilmes beer.

His mentor is Manny Pellegrini so maybe he put a word in for us out of repent...fingers crossed

Financially it’s not horrible unless he plays.

Wilson is a symbol of all that’s rotten at and wrong with the club which is why it pisses people off. To boot he’s a player that’s openly mocked the club in the past.

He’s the player you sign on deadline day if you’re desperate to fill one final squad place as insurance. Not before you’ve signed proper players.

Bang on, and he’s taking up a place in the squad which could be used to help bring through any of our youngsters whose players deserve to see a way through to the main squad. In short a fucking awful signing, and so fucking predictable.

His free kicks have been a massive disappointment but I think his corner taking is excellent and potentially a difference maker if Kilman, Todibo and Mavropanos could head the ball even half as well as dear old Craig Dawson. I’m hoping set pieces from JWP may be meat and drink to an improved Füllkrug. I’ve said before that I have a certain affection for JWP because of the goal he and Bowen contrived to score away at Spurs. But the reason Potter loves him is because he’s a really good guy who’s good for team spirit. The team look genuinely happier and more cohesive than they did this time last year. JWP is central to that. I am travelling tomorrow full of stupid optimism that we will win through two goals by Bowen and Füllkrug which are from JWP assists.

I hope you're right.
That would double the number assists he got for us last season

It feels like we are building a team around him rather than anyone else. He’s been the constant in pre-season etc.

I think I’ve only seen him have one great game, I think under Moyes where he scored, quite early in to his time with us. Since then I feel like I dont “notice” his contribution in midfield. Also, the whole set piece thing, I feel there are loads of players that can whip a corner in and he hasnt scored a free kick for anyone in about 2yrs! Seems like a nice guy, but he baffles me.

If you would have told me we are building a team around a player that wasnt even third choice for Nuno at Forest I’d have laughed my head off. But we are where we are!

I actually think his best game was one we ultimately lost, against Leverkusen at home. He led the press that night. Moyes weirdly decided he didn’t like us steaming into teams after watching that and reverted us to type to get thumped for the rest of the season.

That doesn't mean I shouldn't point out when people are making shit up about him being injured already, does it?

He’s on a play on no pay deal. Other bonuses on goals assists etc. It’s no risk really and don’t get why people are wetting their knickers over this.

What I am pissed off about is that he is our viable back up to Fullkrug.

If there is enough doubt about his fitness to offer him a pay as you play deal, when that already tells you that the club expect that he might face some time out through injury.
If so then what's the fucking point?

Bournemouth in for Ben Doak.

If Sullivan can raise Pay-day loans against future income from TV & ticket sales income, how come he can't raise Pay-day loans against the money extra success will bring buying the players we need?

Absolutely not. I've got no idea if the bloke is injured or not. Guess we'll see whether he makes the bench tomorrow or not. I'd be surprised if not, but if he's not there, well, something is up.

FALLS OFF CHAIR

You don't say, Alf...

Posted: **15 Aug 2025, 13:56**

We will lose I think at Sunderland and the following 3 games ( Chelsea, Forest etc ). The central midfield has been the issue for so long and only Rice helped mask it but that was in a Moyesball set up where we regularly had only 30% of the ball.

It beggars belief that we are starting another season, and now with a system based on controlled possession, without addressing it.

Potter will pay the price of course but Sullivan’s reluctance to spend now ( after Kudus money used on Diouf and Maddsesson ) without selling is setting us up for a big fall this season imo. Cannot see how we can improve without fixing the middle of the park or “engine room”.

Nothing much to look forward to just now and really depressing tbh and Im usually a misery at the best of times

Nah. I'm just pointing out when people are talking utter bollocks.

Pointless pastime I know seeing as some people just can't help themselves and love any excuse to have a moan even if they're making fools of themselves.

Fair play. I can't say we share the same optimism about WIlson but I guess we shall see

Or a new Rolls Royce for the owner. Or an interest repayment on some high interest loan.

I'm the same I'm prepared to give him a fresh start, I also think he's been dealt a bad hand this window with no midfield upgrades, but hope they will be incoming.

But I doubt I'll have a lot of patience with him if we carry on exactly as we were last season.
