The latest West Ham saga seems to be coming to a close finally. It appears increasingly likely that Kudus will leave West Ham to join Spurs for the upcoming season, with a total transfer fee of £55,000,000, which is expected to be paid across three windows.
The entirety of the transfer fee is expected to go towards Potter & Macaulay in an attempt to build the squad for next season and get some players in to ensure that we can actually stay up.
Kudus’ exit and transfer request to Spurs is nothing short of disgraceful. Dithering Dave upstairs has checked the calendar and seen that we’ve got to pay Barclays the loan that we took out, so I’m sure that’s what’s encouraged the club to get the deal across the line. Hammers fans were understanding and knew that we needed money, but not to the level to accept a bid from Spurs, which we so claimed that we shall “never” do business with again… how’s that turned out, Sully?
Though it is important to note that this isn’t Kudus’ first rodeo when wanting to move clubs. Back in 2022 and 2023, he refused to turn up for Ajax’s training session in order to force a move out of the club. Whether Potter liked it or not, it was only a matter of time before things got ugly, and chaos in the dressing room is the last thing Potter and the club need at the current moment in time. This was a case of calm before the thunder, and in this instance, West Ham only got the calm aspect from the situation.
The only possible way that the Hammers fans will be okay with this move is if the money is well spent and is well reinvested into the squad; otherwise, it’s something that could come back to haunt us.
Mohammed Kudus’ abnormally strong interest in joining Spurs has earned him the nickname Mohammed ‘Judas’. Sounds like come September 13th, that’s going to be an interesting fixture for West Ham fans, second home game of the season too.
During his two-year spell, Kudus would score 19 goals and 13 assists in all competitions for the club, but no matter what he scored, achieved or provided for the Hammers, he’ll forever be remembered in the wrong light by fans for forcing a move to Tottenham.

Not since Paul Ince
Have i seen the like of this man.....will he get a mystery injury so cannot play against us i have a feeling that will be so.
He is gone he was not great last season only turning up in certain matches when he was showcasing his talent hoping for a move to a BIG club but that has not worked and he has gone to Spuds...good riddance and he will do the same on them but who cares now he is no longer a hammer and players like that we can do well without but letting him go so cheaply to that lot is hard to take
This is where Sully will
This is where Sully will prove his mettle and sign 6 journeymen to replace him, thus increasing squad numbers and wages in one foul swoop. Is the end nigh??
Where are the values? Where
Where are the values? Where are our standards? What the hell has happened to our club?
These are sad and dark times, I really fear for us this season. Never have I felt so low going forward. The board are absolute klints end of!!!
It's ok
It's a swap deal with Darren Anderton coming to us
He's been treated
Like sh1t so will get no grief from me. We (Potter) has only himself to blame for this scenario. You watch how Frank treats him at Spurs and watch him go. Amazing what a decent manager can get out of a player and there's a few more at West Ham that won't exactly be giving 101% for Potter
Judas Kudus :o)
well, where do you start?
The player .. never saw the best of him, needs to play on the right and never got that chance. Relied on defensive slow horses in midfield to feed him the ball, pass back Ward Mouse and Slowczech were the the lads worst nightmare. Watch him on the right tear up the opposition ... mainly us!
The deal ... Shocking. Payment terms rumoured to be over a staggering 5 years. Levy shafted Sullivan, there's a surprise! The price no where near the 85M clause, no other club willing to have him so Spurs have managed to get an unpolished little gem for a cut price deal.
The Future... I see us focusing on defensive negative football and if 4th to bottom was on the table Potter would grab it now. I have no faith in the board and non in Potter, Losing exciting talent will not add to the Season Ticket sales. its going to be either a mass of white empty seats or even more cut price tourists........ these are VERY dark days
I'd have to disagree there,
I'd have to disagree there Deluded, it seems some people could start an argument in a telephone box. Kudus is one of those players. As long as everything is going Kudos's way he's happy. As soon as someone asks him to do anything slightly different to what he wants to do theres an issue.
El Loppo (or though to be fair, nobody understood him) Potter to a lesser extent. Even Moyes who precariously integrated him into the team. Which Kudus did not like.
Kudus thinks he's god, he is a terrific player there is no doubt. But football as we know is a team game. He has made himself unpopular at West Ham with his histrionics.
I get we need to move him on, but to Spurs? Never, I only hope he cuts up rough there too.
Somehow Kudas has set himself
Somehow Kudas has set himself an extremely high bar. But mostly his performances are somewhat below the level.
Not only for us. But how often did he underperform for Ghana?
This could be a good bit of business or a complete disaster. I see him coming out the traps flying then fading into mediocrity.
He's gone. Let's move on. Just wish Sullivan would move on.
I tell you something you
I tell you something you lovely people,i bet this tosser performs to the highest level for them twats,you see he will be a revelation,better team,better management structure,i think its terrible business on our part,and has been for a long time.

Terrible business and Sully's
Terrible business and Sully's reign at West Ham go hand in hand.
Kudus' interview when he
Kudus' interview when he joined Spuds was steeped with a degree of arrogance as he praised his flair of football that was designed to entertain the fans. But his main reason for opting for Spuds, apparently was because of the new manager Thomas Frank. He seemed to have placed all his trust in him. What does that say about Potter? Were there any disputes between the two of them? Remember when he scored that final goal against Ipswich. No celebration, meaning he wanted to leave the club. But why Spurs? Why did Sullivan not be stubborn by insisting on a much higher fee, rather than just Pounds 54,500? Well, I guess we will be set for a bunch of average signings to replace him and others that have bade farewell. But West Ham are being shafted with this whole Paqueta verdict, that should have been straightforward after all the evidence was presented. Leaves him in the limbo as well.
Values.
Values there are none these days high wages are destroying football there needs to be a different structure otherwise it will kill the game.We as a club need to go back to basics and bring in young hungary players that give all,not on high wages,and have a decent sell on value?we used to do that under Pardew and i think Potter could do the same here if given the right backing.He has brought in more staff and a mind coach that will work on a winning mentality around the team.We can't really judge potter until he gets his own players in because even pep guardiola couldn't get anything out of this team that potter has inherited.The rot started from when moyes won the cup as we all know ageing slow players even he couldn't stop it lopi made it worse and know potter has to sort this whole mess out but we will soon know by christmas which way the wind is blowing and if it's bad potter will be blamed by sullivan and if good sullivan will take the credit for employing him the slippery eel will never change until we can get rid of him altogether somehow i don't think we will unless we get relegated perhaps then?
