Miserable Merson Not Happy With West Ham Again Former Arsenal and England player, and perennial West Ham critic, Paul Merson, has predictably suggested that Graham Potter might struggle at the London Stadium. Merson, who previously declared Julen Lopetegui was the wrong choice for West Ham, has now performed a U-turn. Despite initially claiming Lopetegui wouldn’t win a trophy in 25 years, he’s now stating the Spaniard should have been given more time. Clearly, the Sky Sports pundit doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going. As such, I wouldn’t take his observations about West Ham too seriously. Merson seems perpetually offended…
Tottenham Hotspur have been advised to consider an immediate move for Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to address their ongoing goalkeeping issues. With Guglielmo Vicario sidelined since November due to ankle surgery, Spurs have relied on veteran Fraser Forster, whose contract expires at the end of the season. The North London club recently made their first signing of 2025, bringing in 21-year-old Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague. And he made an impressive debut in the League Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool, producing a stunning performance in a 1-0 win for Spurs. Tottenham urged to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher Despite…
Tottenham Hotspur have entered talks to sign PSG centre-back Milan Skriniar after making an enquiry over a loan deal, according to L’Equipe. The former Inter Milan defender has fallen out of favour in Paris, and he could be offered a way out by Ange Postecoglou’s side as they look to secure European football and a first major trophy since 2008. Luis Enrique has preferred to use Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Lucas Beraldo this campaign, with Skriniar making just five league appearances so far. There has been plenty of interest in the defender, who was once one of the best in…
Darren Bent is excited by the prospect of seeing Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford lining up for West Ham United. Graeme Bailey reported on Thursday (9 January) that West Ham have joined the list of clubs showing an interest in out-of-favour Man United ace Rashford. Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth added to that later in the day that there is an acceptance a deal will only likely be struck if Rashford accepts a massive wage cut.

Lucas Paqueta could finally be on his way out of West Ham if a January transfer goes through at the London Stadium. The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from East London in recent months with South American outfit Botafogo showing an interest in a potential deal [The Sun on Sunday]. Despite this, no transfer has gone through and the 27-year-old generally struggled to find his feet under Julen Lopetegui’s management. There is a chance that the ex-Lyon man’s fortunes could improve under Graham Potter but may be scuppered by a potential incoming transfer. Lucas Paqueta could be…

West Ham poised to appoint Graham Potter to replace Julen Lopetegui. Despite a brief lapse in negotiations, where Potter held out for a longer-term contract, as opposed to a short-term deal until the end of the Premier League season (Jacob Steinberg), the Englishman now looks set to replace Julen…
Huge Hammers Bonus For This January Window. Photo of Martin Treasure. Now the handbrake can come off. West Ham United’s January transfer window can really gather ‘massive’ momentum. I was asking myself at the weekend, “who, in their right mind, would actually sign for West Ham in January?” with all of the uncertainty, reported player bust-ups, dressing room divisions. Now that the news has broken, the decision has been made and Julen Lopetegui heads off into the distance – certainly along with my good wishes, (whatever we think of his coaching ability, the man acted with dignity and deserves a…
Julen Lopetegui speaks out after West Ham sacking and it’s pure class. The national press has been reporting that Julen Lopetegui is ‘infuriated’ with West Ham after events leading up to his sacking. Julen Lopetegui was finally put out of his misery by West Ham as the club announced his departure after 48 hours of speculation. The Hammers said in a statement that Lopetegui had failed to meet their expectations in the first half of the season. As a result West Ham felt they had no choice but to make Lopetegui’s tenure the shortest of any permanent Hammers boss in…
Tottenham Hotspur certainly gave a much better account of themselves in their 1-0 victory against Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. Ange Postecoglou packed out his Tottenham midfield and it stifled a lot of Liverpool’s threat, something the home side were unable to do during Arne Slot’s last visit to N17. Liverpool were arguably limited to the least amount of chances they’ve had in any game this season, something that should give confidence to Spurs were then eventually meet again. Of course, new signing Antonin Kinsky deserves credit, his ability with the ball at his feet…
Lucas Bergvall emerged as the hero for Tottenham Hotspur as they sealed a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool. Dominic Solanke held Ibrahima Konate off and found the free Tottenham midfielder inside the box, who took his goal in emphatic fashion to give the hosts a sizeable advantage heading into the second leg at Anfield. Ange Postecoglou cut a frustrated figure after Pedro Porro fluffed his lines from close range in an attempt to lob the ball over Alisson Becker after he was dispossessed inside his own box by the energetic…
