Graham Potter puts sycophantic pundits back in their box with brilliant explanation of the ‘West Ham way’. Graham Potter is endearing himself to the West Ham United fans very quickly indeed. West Ham parted ways with Julen Lopetegui around one month ago, and replaced him with Graham Potter. The 49-year-old has already made a big impact at the London Stadium, especially with regards to the playing style he’s implementing. Potter is planning a huge squad revamp in the summer, but one of his main priorities will be to get the best out of the players already at the club. Poor…
Three clubs want West Ham player but it’s great news all round. With the wholesale dismantling of the Lopetegui-Steidten version of ‘West Ham‘ likely to be completed over the summer, five first team players including Vlad Coufal, Michail Antonio, Lucas Fabianski and Aaron Cresswell – hit the end of their Hammers contracts and will need extensions or more likely transfer – market upgrades. In addition, others currently out on loan such as Nayef Aguerd, Freddie Potts and George Earthy will need decisions taking about their future. One Hammer for whom the decision has already been taken, it would seem, has…
West Ham ready to go big with new striker signing as Graham Potter makes his priority clear. West Ham United desperately need to sign a new striker in the summer. That point remains regardless of whether or not Graham Potter is able to bring Evan Ferguson to West Ham on a permanent deal. Potter is said to be planning a big squad revamp at the London Stadium when the summer transfer window opens. And boy, do we need a refresh. The poor squad building from David Moyes, Julen Lopetegui and Tim Steidten over the past two or three years means…
Don’t be fooled by facade, Graham Potter has seismic plans for West Ham in the summer. Graham Potter has grand plans for West Ham United it seems. West Ham decided to appoint Graham Potter as the new manager, after Julen Lopetegui was moved on from the London Stadium just over one month ago. Potter brought Evan Ferguson to West Ham on loan in the January window, whilst James Ward-Prowse returned to the club after his failed loan stint with Nottingham Forest. The Hammers head coach is said to be lining up an ambitious move to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal…
Utter Nonsense: West Ham Striker Claims Labelled Fantasy. Claims that West Ham are still in with a shout of signing Jonathan David have been described as nonsense by a Claret & Hugh source. We told readers on January 22nd that there was zero chance of signing the Lille frontman, who is available on a free transfer in the summer. However, the story has once again begun to gain momentum, but C&H have once again been told that David moving to West Ham is completely unrealistic. Last month, after speaking to a trusted source involved in player recruitment, we were told:…
West Ham Demand Big Money for Defender as Barca Come Calling. West Ham will not allow on-loan defender Nayef Aguerd to leave on the cheap next season. The Moroccan centre-back has been in exemplary form for Real Sociedad since moving to La Liga on loan and has attracted interest from some of Europe’s top clubs. The former Stade Rennais F.C. defender moved to the London Stadium in the summer of 2022 for £30m after being chased by David Moyes. Unfortunately, Aguerd never settled into the former manager’s defensive system and struggled to adapt to the Premier League. As a result,…
West Ham United chief Kyle Macaulay ‘at risk of first transfer howler’ already. Kyle Macaulay has been thrown in somewhat at the deep end since taking over as West Ham United’s head of recruitment. The 38-year-old was plucked from the same position he held at Chelsea last month – far from ideal given the winter transfer window was already in full swing. Throw in the exit of Tim Steidten around the same time and it is fair to say the Irons’ transfer thinking was not exactly in unison. Still, United managed to bring in Even Ferguson from Brighton and Hove…
Major update on West Ham’s pursuit of summer deal for 172-goal striker. West Ham may have signed Evan Ferguson but the club has a lot of work to do to overhaul the striker department in the summer. There has been understandable disappointment among West Ham fans that Evan Ferguson has only arrived on a straight loan. Worse still the prospect of the Hammers signing Ferguson permanently looks bleak. That piles the pressure on the West Ham board to back Graham Potter and Kyle Macauley in the summer window. While David Sullivan and co have been taking flak for a lack…
Graham Potter Set to Unlock Deadly Double Act. West Ham’s decision to recall midfielder James Ward-Prowse from his unsuccessful loan spell at Nottingham Forest was greeted with a lukewarm response. During a less-than-exciting transfer window, the return of a player already on West Ham’s books failed to capture the imagination. However, from the little I’ve seen of new Hammers boss Graham Potter so far, I am confident that the new gaffer will be able to get the very best out of Ward-Prowse. Potter is nothing if not a pragmatist. Unlike former head coach Julen Lopetegui, the Hammers’ new manager does…
Andoni Iraola rubs salt in West Ham wound with admission on Bournemouth striker deal. A senior West Ham source described Bournemouth beating them to Eli Junior Kroupi as “a game” multi-club owners play. The West Ham board have been heavily criticised for a lack of transfer activity in the winter window. Evan Ferguson was West Ham’s only signing as he arrived on a straight loan from Brighton. Many feel the club showed a lack of ambition – especially as they lost out to Premier League rivals Bournemouth for hot prospect Eli Junior Kroupi. The transfer window can do funny things…
