Winter Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025/2026

[AJW48361]

Johnson is a funny one Frank when he was manager at Bus Stop agreed to sign Johnson at Forest but Spurs nipped in and stole him from under their nose's.Caught a chant from a West Ham fan leaving the ground on Saturday.Your just a Bus Stop in Brentford. That bloody hurt. Settle for a Bus Stop in Chelsea.

Not on social media, so can't really check, but a couple of West Ham friends mentioned that there are rumours that they might be interested in Raul as well.

Very odd that we would consider something like that with Muniz out until mid-February.

This one seems unlikely but I suppose if they put in a decent bid of more than say £7m we would have to consider it.

I wouldn't be against it, if we brought in another forward. It would still leave us with only one forward though till Muniz gets back, if Silva is not going to give more time to JKA.

No chance. We'd be mental to sell him unless we signed 2 guaranteed goalscorers, which won't happen.

Do your West Ham friends have brain cells or just live in a parallel universe.  Not a prayer that Raul would go.

I'd be up for this if they literally paid us to take him on for a bit but this is again, so uninspiring if this is the level of our recruitment now. Silva talking about long term strategies and this guy walks in the door.

Still think this is Marco who is pushing for this. He just fits the profile of player Marco wants. He loves his rehabilitation projects.

To be honest I said exactly the same when we brought in a 34 year old, out to grass Willian. Sterling is 31 and his best days are behind him but if Marco could get him firing, he'd be a great asset

I guess I'm not terribly worked up about the Sterling rumors because if true I imagine he's being brought in as a replacement for Adama (i.e., one (almost) 30 year old winger who was going to be leaving this summer for another 31 year old who'll leave this summer). Plus I'd suspect we'll come out ahead financially on the deal considering we'd be getting a (certainly modest) fee for Adama from WHU.

I would love to see a rejuvanated Sterling at Fulham.  We all know it is in there, it is just whether or not he wants to get back to, or close to those heights again.

[KentFulham]

Sterling is OK but ut doesn't show much ambition, its more of the old make do type of signing

[hopper]

I'm sceptical til I see a reliable journalist publish something regarding Sterling. I don't see it as an issue as we've brought in Chuk and Kevin, who could probably learn a lot from Sterling. Let's wait and see.

I understand why it's not more, but if it is 2 to 3 million, West Ham is getting a hell of a deal.

I dunno I feel we're not getting off too bad from this. The guy is out of contract in 6 months and can leave for free. If we're honest he's no more than a squad player for us and we got him for free when he was out of contract.
2.5-3 mil is decent imo

Yeah, more than decent.

[FFC1987]

I really, really hope Sterling is lazy awful journalism. We've talked about why Willian and Sterling were different and lazy comparisons. If we were signing Sterling for a 2-3 year project....id maybe be slightly more positive about it. But getting him short term, when it's going to take a large portion of his season with us, paying any sort of wages getting him match fit just feels so wasteful. Short term should be for players making immediate impacts. Not for players who haven't played regular competitive football in a few seasons now.

You think? I'd pay them that to take him off our hands. He's offered nothing for months. He knew he was off in January
