Rumour Mill In Overdrive As Hammers Brace

Submitted by Louis Nixon on Sat, 10/01/2026 - 12:13

In the latest guff report, it appears that West Ham United are in preparation for falling down to the Championship and seeing as they’ve seemingly accepted their fate, they are now working on signing a few players who aren’t exactly anticipated to pull of miracles.

The first of a plethora of names comes from senior Brentford defender Ethan Pinnock. He’s had a monumental amount of Premier League experience, but has fallen out of the squad this season and could be available for the taking. A 32 year old leader for the Hammers? A much-needed requirement, but a little too late for the Premier League, yet could be a helpful addition for the drop, can’t be worse than the centre-backs we’ve already got!

Up next, the debate regarding Areola continues on… Nuno, or someone much rather, has made it clear that he would like a goalkeeper this transfer window, and numerous scattered bits have been placed around, from England to Saudi. We knocked on the door of Peo and requested if we could sign James Trafford, only after seeing who knocked on the door, he told us to take a hike but not to leave empty-handed, as Steffan Ortega, Manchester City’s third choice goalkeeper, was offered to West Ham yet no response has been given at the moment.

From senior to unknown, we’re also attempting to convince the Braga defender, Arrey-Mbi, to join us. From sunny skies in the Braga Municipal Stadium to the dark, gloomy London Stadium, that’ll be an interesting one proposition to convince to a 22 year old!

All in all, it’s a load of big-mouthed twaddle, anybody who is to join the Hammers will understand that the likelihood of the club being in the Premier League is little to none and they’ll be bracing for the Championship. Perhaps after our €50,000,000 were confirmed, we were banking on the Wolves and Forest games to dig us out of trouble, but those supposed bankers ultimately just left us bankrupt.

Tough time to scout targets and certainly even harder to convince… wonder what old excuse will come out of the Russian hat again? - LN

Twinkle toes Trafford playing out from the back for us? My God could you imagine our center halves getting there knickers in a twist. Jesus H Christ..

On the other hand, Ortega is a proven keeper, I'd take him defo in the Fabianski mould..

I saw QPR lose to an awaful Norwich end of November. They was truly shocking. Even after seeing that I am fearing the worse.

A distraction from what?trying to stay in a league with a board like ours who never have or never will try to compete in it just surviving is enough and it keeps lining there pockets.....Stuff that i want to see a cup run i want us to at least try and win something comparing that to just staying in the Prem well thanks but no thanks

At the end of the day Mac the league is the main thing,we all know the dire situation we are in,from top to bottom and we are all in agreement that we are going down,but my fear is we will be out of the top flight for many years,and theres also been many posts on this,but being a Hammers fan as you will know,we have to run on hope,and the the hope is perhaps we will have a run of games,and im not usually in favour of the changing of managers but i am in this case,theres still alot of points up for grabs and we are not down yet,so yes i stick with hope,and feel we need concentration on the league.
