West Ham Receive Stinging Criticism in Transfer Tussle
Breaking reports suggest Slavia Prague are growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of progress in West Ham’s pursuit of El Hadji Malick Diouf.
This comes just a day after Hammers sources were confidently briefing that a deal for the 20-year-old was close to completion.
That optimism has been flatly contradicted by Slavia president Jaroslav Tvrdík, who said: “We believed negotiations with West Ham would come to a quick end, and we asked the coach not to use Diouf in training. We have not yet been able to reconcile our ideas with those of the English. If it does not happen, we will enter negotiations to stay.”
These are clearly the words of a frustrated man—and it sounds uncomfortably familiar for West Ham fans. Once again, we’re seeing a deal that should be straightforward becoming needlessly complicated.
Diouf has already agreed to join West Ham, and Slavia are open to selling. With Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal having already made the switch from Prague to London, this should have been a tap-in of a transfer.
Fabrizio Romano previously reported that West Ham had tabled a €20m offer, but even that has been disputed by Tvrdík.
Right now, a move that should have been wrapped up is in danger of falling through—and it won’t reflect well on us if it does.
they’ve rejected 2 bids from us, 17m and 17.5m, by the second bid it’s clear we disagree with their 21m valuation. the chairman needs to get the hint, we’ve already moved on. As for west ham insiders saying a deal is close, just pure bs, that is what is being exposed here.
The way SULLIVAN runs our football club is disgraceful! We as west ham fans want him out! Even kretinsky has got fed up with his antics! Come on sully just sell up and walk please we’ve had enough!!!
Mad how spurs were nearly relegated last season albeit the 3 poor teams at the bottom. Come out guns blazing ! West ham,we have to sell etc. absolute disgrace and a shambles. Best player since payer to grace our pitch since payer ! A world beater. I’ve had enough completely now. Go away west ham I’m done mate.
Typical of the clowns running the club Idiots
The truth is I think nearer to the fact that the Player sustained a broken fibula and needs two weeks to recover. There is little or no point in doing a medical for two weeks.
Sullivan has not and will not pay players to come to us and only train pre-season.
Wages saved typical tight fisted money grabbing business man (business before club) exactly what’s wrong.
What? Is this the same tight fisted guy who spent £140 million on players last summer?! 🤔
This clubs fanbase has become so annoyingly negative. Now don’t get me wrong, I have my frustrations but the fans culture has just grown to be dour and it’s putting me off.
I’ll always love the club, but god our fanbase is rubbish now. Look in the mirror “fortunes always hiding, but I’m forever blowing bubbles!”
So typical of the West Ham hierarchy. Other teams – look at Palace today -go about their transfer business quietly and efficiently and virtually the first anyone knows of it is when the deal is announced. West Ham, however, show their hand but don’t seal the transfer and then it either meanders or another club steps in. Same old, same old, “We tried”.
How do you know what is going on in the boardroom regarding transfers? It can’t be easy running a multi million £ business and keeping everyone (fans) happy.
Any fool could run west ham 3 rd richest owners in premier league and zero ambition! 17th richest club in the world! It’s inexcusable that Sullivan runs the club like a market trader! He has no integrity and is the reason why we will never achieve anything while he is in control SULLIVAN out NOW!!
You must be a spud get off our site !!!
The suggestion that someone is trying hard to destroy West Ham United becomes less and less improbable every day. Whether it is journalists, club insiders, people in the know, top sources, well connected foreign know-alls, we’ve heard them all and they all tell lies and/or spread unsubstantiated gossip. As of now West Ham are not looking to sign anyone. It is more likely as things stand that come the end of August, that will still be the case. If Potter is still in charge then, he is going to have to choose a team from the same group that could not play last year, minus a couple of retirees. It seems everyone at West Ham is either a liar, ill-informed or too afraid to speak.
We all know Sullivan is useless at this stuff that’s why we needed a Steiden and why we should of replaced him
Sullivan always was useless at progressing deals in the right way and now he’s really old too.
The club needs to think about how much negativity they are generating with the fans and even clubs we should be on good relations with.
They seem oblivious to the dark clouds around the club now, getting the Diouf deal done would be a small sign of action – but no just leave it.
LOOK THERES NO OTHER ANSWER SULLIVAN AND HIS CRONIES ARE NOT FIT TO RUN A FOOTBALL CLUB HAD ENOUGH NOW THERE NOT ONLY MAKING THEMSELVES HATED BUT MAKING EVERY SINGLE W HAM FAN LOOK COMPLETE IDIOTS
Clowns and circus come to mind
Sullivan is an utter embarrassment
In all honesty would any of us be overly surprised if sulli prevaricates and we end up losing most or all of the main targets that potter and Macauley have identified leaving us in the same mess as we usually do with him in full charge of negotiations? Then step forward messers silkman and salthouse with their clients and we end up with players potter doesn’t really want never forget this bloke is the man who thought ings would work in a David Moyes system!
Has he never dealt with Sullivan before? Obviously not.
As for thinking that a deal was close, never believe these stories until you see the player wearing the shirt and giving it the ‘Crossed Hammers’.
That will be another lost by Sullivan the way we are going will loose three games in USA tour then maybe one point from our first four prem games relegation on the cards Sullivan all down to you
Yes, I agree. If the report is accurate. I’m growing really tired of the way West Ham do thier transfer business. Its coming to a point where I couldn’t care less what happens now or the coming season.
