- Evan Ferguson joined West Ham United on loan during the January transfer window and James Ward-Prowse returned from his loan spell at Nottingham Forest in order to strengthen the squad for Graham Potter but is this a strategy from The Hammers or a failure to sign anyone on a permanent transfer? Geo discusses if Sullivan backed Graham Potter or not in the window

This season for me now is just a mini league between us, Man U and Spurs. If we end up above both of them, I’d be well chuffed 😂
Great video as always Geo..I totally agree it was good to do as little business in January as possible in order that Potter can assess squad and know exactly what he needs in the summer... ps how is your Daughter, hope everything is fine now m8
I couldn’t agree more with you Geo, give potter the rest of the season to see what he needs (and what he doesn’t!) I’m loving Potterball so far
I am happy to get a new striker, because I thought we might sign no one. I did not want to get rid of JWP - so i am happy he is back too. Great squad player. Especially as Potter seems more nuanced at getting the strengths out of particular players.
To me this was the 1st Jan window in 3 or 4 seasons where I felt it wasn’t imperative to sign any new players. Barring any more multi-injury disasters, we’re set up fine to play out the season. Next 3 months are about who Potter wants to keep. That aside, as a fan, all I want is for us to get stuck in and play football.
Great Analysis in the final part, more of that please.
Excellent show as always Geo COYI ⚒️
Thank you. What did you think about the January transfer window?
I think it's been alright no rash movements that we regret very quickly
The todibo thing was ridiculous as he,s injured 😂
I really hope we’ve got all the academy players tied down on long contracts wouldn’t want to loose any especially when we have a big rebuild looming
I am glad that players weren't forced on Potter. He got the striker he wanted. The only area that worries me is at centre back. However, if he continues with 3 at the back we will be ok. The big clear out and change around will happen in the summer
We didn’t need to do anything drastic in the transfer window. Things have significantly improved under Potter in terms of organisation, commitment and togetherness of the players and I believe results will follow. Let Potter assess things over the rest of the season and then properly go for it in August. Happy with both loan signing of Ferguson and the return of JWP.
I’m with you Geo. The only that I would say I’m genuinely displeased about is the fact that we haven’t lined up a pre-contract for Angel Gomes. Mainly because he seems there for the taking and we are light for legs in the midfield.
That was as clear as i remember it , excellent show Geo . 👍
Great vid, and that shirt is mint! 👌
There is still definitely something to play for Geo…..finishing above Spuds and Manure! 😂
I’d love that, be funny
Great video Geo! !
Duran was obvious to me they knew the fact that Villa contacted Steidten would come out so had to organise a cover bid to make look like we responded to that positively. Fact is we know there wasn’t the money available so it was by association just a mock cover bid.
I hope going forward that luis g gets some more starts
When Todibo joined on loan with a obligation, I personally thought it was a back door deal to get him into MU without compromising the Nice/MU Ineos connection, without costing us money and we have a top young talent for the season.
Regarding the other links to players in the January window, I honestly lost interest, just waiting for the window to close.
Obviously I am pleased that Potter and his entourage have joined and pleased Lopetegui was put to rest.
Disappointed with the treatment of Steidten and the expectation of the “project” continued under a coach I believe I could trust, but that is now something which has been killed off without truly being explained what the club wanted to achieve.
Now the window has closed, what we have is what we’ve got to work with, spending realistically nothing means Potter and Macaulay can look at the squad, juggle their finances, see who will be offered extensions to their contracts if no suitable replacements can be brought in.
Brilliant Video Geo very good 👍
Liked this video👍🏾watching the season comparisons in the cold light of day gives me two things…1 relaxes the nerves for the remainder of this season and 2 brings back the old feelings(not necessarily the good kind either🫣)
Potter has said he is getting full support from the board and if noone comes in in this window it was down to him.
Maybe but Graham knows how to play the club politics game
@@Woshammer68
Potter has too much integrity to lie. He wasn't asked about that information, he volunteered it.
I’m pretty excited to see Fergie in the claret and blue. I’m hoping he shows great signs, scores a couple. If he blows it out of the water, we’ll be priced out of a summer move
Happy we’ll get JWP back for long enough for Potter to make his own determination. Overall just really enjoying the positivity around the club with the new manager
I’m disappointed that we didn’t get Cummings from Celtic in the window albeit we have a pre contract as there seems ill feeling on the Celtic side and a risk he’ll be left isolated. Also (I know it’s not deadline date related), I’d like to have seen a pre contract agreement with Angel Gomes, the longer we leave it the greater the risk of the deal being hijacked
Apart from another center back I'm not to bothered about how it's panned out , although I here that there is still a club in talks about Guilerme which I'm not to happy about it seems someone wants him gone and my money is on Sullivan.
The problem is that for the last two seasons, you could tell in September that the season was a write off. 2 years probably 3/4 years of dross. So now let's all pack up and pull the blinds down until the new season. How depressing again. Maybe brady and sullivan should never have sold us the dream of being better than we actually are. Many of us foolish to believe it. We still are a survival team in the premiership.
Am really hoping that this time Sullivan has finally relinquished control over transfers time will tell.
What i believe is talksport talk sxxt 😅
Excellent stream Geo. personally I think we have a very small chance of Europe. If we are sparkling for the remainder of the season we might just bridge the gap
If what I've read is true , Mr Potter said there was money there for players he wanted if needed , but they didn't sign anyone because Potter did not want them , and I'm glad he's done what he has .
Lets put faith in Potter instead of moaning that we dodgy sign anyone , id prefer to keep the squad we got , than bringing in just bodies for the sake of it .
The last message i think was lucky he stayed as long as he did. I do believe if Man United and Tottenham where not in there position in the league table. He would of get sacked long before he was
Sad that the overhyped, bang average JWP is back. But he’ll be a better squad player than Rodriguez, that’s for sure
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
A lot of the players we were linked with i was underwhelmed to say the least. Players like silva were being linked with us after being pushed by agents as possibles (silkman again). Dont think potter was interested in a lot of them TBH
TBH, not great, Geo thought we would have brought more players in COYI ⚒️
We needed more bodies through the door, our squad is wafer thin. Only getting Ferguson is absolutely criminal. It just means there is more to do in the summer. We need to get rid of the deadwood in the squad ( Ings, Coufal, Cresswell,etc.) then we have to target the players that Potter needs to implement his plans for us, so it looks like it has to be a busy summer for us. However I have no faith that Potter will be fully backed whilst Sullivan is in charge. We need to mobilize the fan base and protest against Sullivan ⚒️
Geo, just make one recording, mentioning “the manager at the moment” and put it out at the end of every transfer window and save yourself a task.
I don’t get it?
@@HammersChat I think he means we'll always have the same kind of transfer window under the current ownership.
Great as usual speaking honestly about all no talking about your gran of some diversion about something like gonzo waffling on . Hope his not on the white powder as certainly something wrong there. Would have loved kroupi here ffs Bournemouth and hope if true Sean whetstone is putting in the protest to fifa. Unless his just supporting sullivan again dithering like moyes used too. Hope your new born is better now. And your still in charge or maybe your trouble says different 😅
