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

Even the Ghanaian fans think Kudus is a prick with an attitude problem, I gather.

Kudus probably has more raw talent and physical gifts but Bowen has ten times the attitude, heart and desire and is no Fucking slouch either.

I’d have Bowen every day over the Kudus that showed up last season. He carried the team on his back. No doubt Kudus will look the business when he’s somewhere else bothering to put full effort in but I don’t want a player that isn’t going to give their all every match

I'm on about Bowen being in poor form and anonymous in a lot of games due to being misused. Played out of position and ball played forwards too slowly with no space for him to run into due to Potter's crab ball. It suits hardly any of our players and if you think Bowen played anywhere close to his potential last season your eyes must be worse than mine.

You’ve got to be joking? 13 goals, and 21 direct goal involvements in 34 matches last season, for a struggling team that spent most of the season around 17th.

Let’s not compare Bowen to Kudus.

Lots of goals from Bowen and he was missing in a lot of games especially those when he was played out of position...My point was none of our players played to their potential.. 4 years ago Bowen wasn't as prolific as he is now and didn't start all the time, how do you think he would have managed stuck out on the left out of position?

Sorry, Fraser, that’s a load of bollocks. Bowen, as ever, was our standout last season, along with Wan-Bissaka.

Bowen always makes a decent fist of playing up front. It’s embarrassing how bad Kudus is on the left for a left footed player. Seems to have no ability or confidence to take someone on on the outside and cross with his favoured foot. I understand players have favoured sides, but do I think Bowen would have a better stab at left wing than Kudus? Absolutely. He has a better attitude for starters. It just so happens he is better than him on the right as well. And up front.

People make way too many excuses for Kudus playing on the left. He was generally average when he played on the right, too.

Posted: **06 Jul 2025, 16:05**

If Kudus goes to Tottenham Sullivan deserves to be put down.

fraser,

Are you still off your nut from last night’s rave?

Go and sleep it off, fella.

Bowen hasn't been great either, should we sell him for £55 million.. Kudus is younger and there's a correlation with our attacking players not looking great when generally only two of them in amongst loads of defenders and slow midfielders who don't want to kick the fucking football towards the other teams goal.

We are not at the races,clubs are on their second or third signings,we will be left picking at the crumbs for more than their worth.

Posted: **06 Jul 2025, 13:35**

For me the most important signing that could be made before the season starts would be a death warrant for Sullivan

Don’t even think he’s having buyers regret. Potters plans will have been discussed when he was appointed. Sullivan as usual is just bullshitting his manager and not giving them what they actually want. I don’t think it’s a coincidence Moyes has at least partly lost his shyness to make a signing since not working for Sullivan any more.

I know it has. But this is the ONE year it absolutely cannot happen because we’ll be fucked if/when it does.

This will be the story of our summer. Losing out on players to the likes of Leeds and Sunderland because Sullivan is playing his usual tricks is worrying.

His plan B is the whole reason we are in this Fuckjng mess. It’s infuriating the man is too blind to see his decision making is why we are so fucked.

We just need a manager to make the players we have work well as a team with minimal changes. That decision should have been made by Sullivan but he doesn't have the vision. He went with Brady's husband's mate because he was available after reaching the Brighton heights of 15th; 16th; 9th places. Then an 11th place with basket case Chelsea.

This window is a mess and everything currently wrong with WHU comes down to the useless Chairman imho.....

He’s not getting sacked by Sullivan if Sullivan isn’t holding up his end of the bargain and providing Potter with a team capable of competing. Good luck to any manager making what we have in midfield- a combination of players who aren’t up to it or don’t want to be here- function well enough to be good.
Potter doesn’t want to sell our best players. No manager wants to sell their best players. Sullivan does. The reality for Potter is that his only option is to buy younger cheaper players with the money from the sale of players who either don’t want to be here or have to be sold in order to generate a budget to replace the players who aren’t good enough or have already left on a free.

Posted: **06 Jul 2025, 12:08**

I think there's no question that Sully must be wary about giving Potter much funding. He knows that there's a very good chance that he'll need to sack him by January and offer the next manager a war chest to fight off relegation. If he'd just waited until summer to sack Lopetegui we'd more than likely now have a better manager in charge and a bigger transfer kitty. Such a shame.

Best we can hope for if he stays in the Premier League is that his new team plays him out of position, like we did most of last season.

He will be miles better. Wherever he ends up. It was completely obvious last season he didn’t want to be here. Only bothered putting in a performance against the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.

Kudus is a very talented player
Poor season like many as our midfield was so dogshit he had little service or opportunity to attack
Us being in a position where we are hawking him around and quite possibly selling him to Tottenham of all clubs just shows what an absolute shit show Sullivan has created
World class team in a world class stadium?
YEAH, RIGHT
The little cսnt has to be hounded out by any means necessary

Posted: **06 Jul 2025, 11:49**

I was ready for a large slice of humble pie on my prediction we would not get anyone until August in “too little too late” style as per usual. The reason for the humble pie beimg this Diarra bloke that was supposedly coming for a medical etc. I should have known that Sullivan would fvck things up by offerimg well short of Slavia Prague’s valuation.

So again its looking like August at best for the first photo of someone holding up the shirt on the OS.

Relegation struggle still the likeliest scenario ahead. Nothing changes at West Ham while we have a narcissistic owner / chairman who is clueless, arrogant, ignorant etc
